🐾👅THEA, ALFIE & BLUE👅🐾

We've had these 3 beauties in over the last 2 days.

First up, we had Thea the Dalmation pup on our Puppy Course. During the session, we concentrated on correct socialisation, prolonged environmental exposure, raising her into a nice confident dog, introducing reward markers, leash pressure, and how to work on building a nice relationship with her.

Next, we had Alfie in for loose leash walking and dog reactivity. We worked on engagement, leash pressure, reward markers, and neutrality around our boy. Alfie smashed his first session, and we are looking forward to the next one!

Finally, we had the beautiful Blue in for dog reactivity. He is very selective with what dog he will react to, so we put him through his paces. He walked nicely on a lead, so we just incorporated more engagement with reward, so when he disengaged from a dog and looked to his owner, we could reward him. We had Blue out around our boys, around dogs locally, and he did fantastically. The main thing for Blue is breaking his fixation.

All these guys are on our packages, so we look forward to seeing them again and watching them all progress.

🐕🐶MEET DIESEL🐶🐕

We had this handsome boy come and see us for help with over excitement around people, loose leash walking, and dog reactivity.

Diesel is a lovely boy but just needed some direction on how he should behave. We started off by working on loose leash walking, reward markers, and engagement.

Once he understood how and where he was supposed to walk, we took a look at his reactivity. He reacted mainly due to frustration of being on a lead around dogs, but around intact males, he was also driven to react and would try and challenge the other dog.

We started teaching him how to disengage from a dog and focus on his owner instead, we worked with thresholds, and by the end of the session, he was walking around our boy a lot calmer.

We will need to practice this multiple times around various dogs so he understands how to behave in any situation.

🐕🐾MEET ARLO🐾🐕

We had Arlo come and see us for help with loose leash walking, dog reactivity, and prey drive when off lead.

Arlo came to us on a head collar as his owners couldn't keep hold of him without it. He would pull constantly and bark and lunge towards dogs.

We started off by getting him the head collar and teaching him leash pressure, which involves a little pressure on the lead and collar followed by movement and reward once back in the correct position.

Alongside this, we worked on increasing his engagement with his owner and rewarding the behaviours we wanted.

Next, we got our boy out for him to work around, and with a little correction and making things black and white, he was walking around him no problem at all.

We will continue working around various dogs to make sure he knows how to behave in all situations.

Once we have him more tuned in and walking nicely under various distractions, we will start working on recall and impulse control.

👅🐕MEET EMMY🐕👅

Emmy's owner got in touch with us for help with dog reactivity and behaviour in the home.

She already has some really nice foundations in place. Her general obedience is really nice, but when she sees a dog, she would bark and lunge.

We started off by tightening up her loose leash walking, getting her tuned in, and creating a bit of fun within her training.

Emmy is a very smart girl with a lovely drive, so she picked this up in no time at all.

We then got her working around our boy, and by adding in a bit of fun, breaking the fixation, and rewarding the good choices, she was able to pass without issue.

We will need to work around other dogs to fully proof this and make the reactivity a thing of the past.

During the session, we also discussed getting her involved in doing some scent work as she needs more than just a normal pet life.

We are also booked to do a home visit so we can work on the issues in the house and further sessions to work on the reactivity.

🐾🐶DUTCH THE RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK🐶🐾

Dutch's owners signed up to our puppy course. He is just 4 months old and is a super pup.

His owners have done a great job so far with him but needed some help putting all the pieces together.

During the session, we covered correct socialisation, introduced reward markers, taught him leash pressure, and how to build focus when he's outside.

Dutch is a really nice, confident pup, and with direction, he will grow up to be a fantastic dog.

Looking forward to the next session and seeing this sweet boy progress.

🍖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.
