🍖WHAT'S IN YOUR DOGS DINNER 🍖

Whilst you may not think diet has anything to do with training, the overall health and condition of your dog does.

When we look at food, we should be looking at what nutritional value it has. A lot of shop bought kibbles are full of fillers and meat meals and have barely seen an animal.

If we were to live solely on junk food or feed our children junk food, you would get a wired child. Rubbish food also does this to dogs.

Our boys are fed a good raw diet, and as you can see, Drogo is eager to tuck in.

This meal consists of Durham Animal Feeds Chicken fillet chunks, Venison chunks, Chicken feet, Chicken wings, Hungry Hounds PET Supplies sprats, Nutriment Just Turkey mince, Offal and Tripe, Anco Dog Treats Beef bone broth and a Chicken egg.

All products bought from our LK9 Raw Ltd shop. Our shop can be found on the Blaydon Industrial Estate

🧨💣DOGS WITH REACTIVITY💣🧨

When we look at dogs with reactivity, we need to look at what is causing them to become reactive so we can help dogs through this.

There are many things that can cause a dog to become reactive.

Under socialised, over socialised, fear, nerve, genetics etc etc.

As dog trainers, it is our job to work out what is causing them to react so we can change the dogs mindset and help make outings enjoyable again for the owner and the dog.

If your dog is barking at other dogs, lunging on the lead, or unable to walk past another dog without some form of behavioural issue, then help is needed.

Many people seem to think there is a quick fix for reactivity, and 1 session will solve the problem. This, unfortunately, is not the case.

During the first session, there is only so much you can go through, and yet so much more that needs to be done.

Regular sessions are always recommended alongside training at home to get the best possible outcome.

Let us help you to help your dog overcome their reactivity.

🖤🤎MEET FRANCO🖤🤎

We had this beautiful boy come and see us for puppy training.

Franco is 12 weeks old with no issues, but his owners wanted to get his training right from the start.

During the session, we covered correct socialisation as this is the most important thing at this age.

Socialisation isn't about your pup meeting as many people and dogs as possible it's about teaching them to be neutral around them. Calm, short, and sweet interactions are what we want.

Along with this, socialisation also covers environmental exposure. Getting a pup to as many different places as possible is key to raising a confident dog.

Next, we covered how to correctly use rewards, introduce markers, and introduce basic obedience.

Obedience isn't something that we need to drill at this age, but it gives his owners bits to work on with him.

We then worked with Franco to teach him leash pressure. Whilst we don't expect a heel walk at this age, we don't want him constantly pulling at the end of the lead.

During the session, we also went through the importance of leaving Franco in the house on his own so he doesn't develop sepeation anxiety, how to introduce a pen/crate, and basic toilet training.

These guys are on our puppy package, so we will continue to work on teaching the basics as he progresses.

🖤🤎MEET REX🖤🤎

Rex's owners came to see us for help with loose lead walking, over excitement around people, reactivity towards dogs, and general obedience.

He is a lovely lad, but his owners would struggle to take him out as he would pull continuously and lunge at dogs.

When first meeting Rex, he didn't have very good manners, in that he would constantly try and jump up, and with a dog this size, it is too friendly.

We started off teaching him how to behave calmly with a new person so we could get working with him.

Once he was calm, we put in some foundations to get him using reward markers, leash pressure, and engagement.

Next, we worked on his loose lead walking. He picked this up nicely, and his owner was able to walk him without being pulled and him checking in nicely.

We finished off by working him around our dog, teaching him to break his fixation, and launching wasn't acceptable.

He reacted purely due to frustration, but we don't want a dog lunging everytome another dog is around.

Once he worked around our boy, he calmed down, and his owner was able to walk him around without issue.

We still need to do further work, but for the first time, his owner could walk him nicely, which was the goal for the first session.

These guys have signed up to our Liberty Package so we can continue working with them and improve on the foundations learnt.

👅🐕MEET PIPER🐕👅

We had Piper come and see us for help with loose leash walking and dog reactivity.

Like most sessions, we started it off by getting some solid foundations in such as engagement, marker words, leash pressure, and how to utilise rewards.

Piper picked all of this up really quickly and was walking nicely by her owner in no time at all.

We then got our boy out and worked on breaking her fixation, and teaching her reacting wasn't acceptable and to choose a better option.

She did really well with this and started to choose to engage with her owner rather than kick off.

These guys have signed up to our Liberty Package so we can continue to work on this and get the very best out of her.

🐾🐶MEET VINCENT🐶🐾

We had this sweet boy come and see us. His owner got in touch for help with loose leash walking, recall, and general obedience.

Vincent is only 6 months old but is doing so well for his age. His owner just needed help to tighten things up.

We started the session off by working on his lead walking, we can't expect a dog to do what they're supposed to off lead if they aren't great on lead.

Once we worked with leash pressure, a high reward history for being in the correct position, he was walking nicely.

Next, we worked on general obedience along with going through leave, drop, crate training, and foundations of recall.

We will be able to crack on quite quickly with recall training once the foundations are solid.

🐾👅MEET DORIS👅🐾

We had this sweet girl come and see us today. Her owner got in touch for help with dog reactivity.

Doris' owner has only had her for a short period of time and doesn't know much about her background, but she is nicely social with people but barks and lunges towards dogs.

We got our boy out to see why she was reacting, and it was purely out of frustration. This also wasn't helped by the fact she was on a harness that just adds to the frustration build-up.

As we now knew why she was reacting, we got to work on building some nice foundations, including getting a better loose leash walking position.

Doris wasn't a massive puller but was totally disengaged and just doing her own thing, so we taught her how to tune in, walk to heel, and look to her owner for direction.

We then got our boy back out and worked on breaking her fixation from dogs as fixation always comes before a reaction.

Once she understood how she should behave, she was totally uninterested in him, so we put her to the test and walked her past some random dogs, and she did brilliantly.

Looking forward to the next one so we can see how she has progressed and push her on further.

👅🐾MEET BENTLEY🐾👅

We had this sweet boy come and see us. His owner signed him up to our Puppy Package to get him off to the best start.

Bentley is a super pup and has an interesting set of genetics behind him. He is a Labrador x Mali x Staffy.

He is only 18 weeks old but is a strong lad and is a headstrong boy. Thankfully, he has a super food drive, which makes training a lot easier.

His owner did have him on a harness, so we have swapped that out for a flat collar as a harness will only allow him to pull easier and doesn't allow his owner to communicate anything to him.

We started teaching him reward markers and how to increase engagement.

Next, we taught him a leave command as he wanted to eat everything he could, which would be dangerous if he got something he shouldn't.

We then worked on teaching him a heel command and combined this with leash pressure so he understood where he should be walking.

He picked this up really quickly and was walking next to his owner on a loose leash in no time at all.

During the session, we also covered how to raise him to be a nice, confident dog.

Looking forward to the next one!

🐶🐕MEET HUGO🐕🐶

We made a home visit to see this big lad. His owner got in touch with us for help with reactivity towards people and dogs.

When we first entered the home, Hugo was barking and desperate to get over. This was purely out of over excitement. He does exactly the same outside, except he will launch towards people.

Reactivity isn't about a dog being aggressive it's them reacting to something. Hugo gets too excited when he sees people and dogs so gets frustrated on the lead as he can't get to them.

Hugo was pulling his owner from the minute he got out the door and didn't pay any attention, so we started the session off by getting him to walk at heel.

He picked this up pretty quickly and was walking miles better in minutes. Of course, it isn't "fixed" as training requires multiple repetitions and practising in different areas.

We then worked on his reactivity towards dogs and taught him how to disengage and not launch towards other dogs.

These guys have signed up to a package so we can continue the good work.

🖤🤎MEET WINSTON🖤🤎

We had this stunning boy come and see us for help with loose leash walking, stealing items around the home, and dog reactivity.

Winston is a young male Rottweiler, and like most, he was full of himself. He is very friendly towards people and dogs but doesn't have an off switch around them.

When we first saw him, he was pulling his owners, mouthing out of excitement, and then he would pull towards other dogs.

We got to work teaching him leash pressure, working on his engagement, and reintroducing reward markers as he did have a basic knowledge of these.

Once we had him walking nicely, we got our boy out to teach him how to break his fixation and ignore the other dog. Like most Rotties, he can be head strong and persistent, but he did get it by the end.

This will, of course, need continued work to really engrain the behaviour we want.

We finished off by taking him around other novel dogs, Winston spat his dummy out a couple of times as he didn't want to be told what to do but accepted the alternative and relaxed.

During the session, we also covered what to do around the home and how to increase his obedience.
