I have been working with this gorgeous Ridgeback. She is uncomfortable around people and dogs.

This was our second session and we got the most lovely little tail wag. She is starting to see me as a safe person to be around. Some other people that have tried to work with her haven't understood ridgebacks and she found them really uncomfortable and never warmed to them. So this absolutely fills my heart with joy ❤️

Which is huge. It made me so happy. ❤️❤️

I just want to share with you Gaia's vet bed art.

This took her about a week to create. She is 9 months old.

Just for the benefit of the owners that buy beds and get annoyed that they are chewing them up. Or thought because vet bed was recommended by all us experienced Ridgeback owners that it's not really chewable

We use it because at around that age they like to bring out their creative side. We know, vet bed is great for this. And we can remove it when there are more holes than bed and give a new piece for them to start again.

This creative side can last for some till over 2 years old.

Hope you enjoy Gaia's creation 🤣🤣

Omg how amazing. I'm the top dog trainer I'm Newcastle yet again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just want to give credit to this wonderful owner and her dog.

I don't know her, she is not a client.

But we bumped into each other, when I was walking grace at Newburn.

He lovely little dog, Daisy was a bit nervous around other dogs since being bitten by another dog.

Her owner gave her space and time to walk calmly past Grace. Little Daisy responded brilliantly. Having a sniff at a distance of Grace and realising it was pretty safe. (Grace is pretty neutral, she isn't that bothered so won't invade other dogs space)

It was so lovely to see, and I just want to give her owner a huge well done. ❤️

Reward based training, going at the dogs pace and helping their emotional state at the same time ❤️

Feel free to share, I would love her to see and feel the love. Sometimes a pat on the back can make all the difference

Brilliant puppy class yet again.

The gorgeous Ruby the Labrador did amazing. Calm and collected.

Oscar the cocker x, what can you not love about this little man. So handsome and very clever. He has come such a long way.

Working with dogs and their people really does fill my soul.

But helping Ridgebacks and their people give me that extra little bit of joy.

They are such sensitive, complex hounds.

This is a young chap that I recently helped via my online support.

I help dogs and Ridgebacks far and wide not just in my local area ❤️

Do you have a puppy?

Struggling with them walking on a lead or want to improve their recall?

Do you want them to settle better when left alone or be more confidant around new things?

My puppy class will help with that!

Each puppy class has limited number of puppies so you get the full attention you deserve.

There is a couple of spaces left in the puppy class starting this week.

Grab it while you can!

What is your puppy's bedtime routine?
If you are struggling then try this.

Puppy Bedtime Routine

3 step puppy bedtime routine

This routine should take around 30 minutes, which is a small amount of time considering it should help save you from sleepless nights!
Additionally, we advise being strict about this routine during the first 5 nights and then relaxing is as logistically necessary thereafter. We recommend that the you use the puppy’s dinner portion to complete this training which will also give you practice using the dog's meals to train.
We would suggest that this routine is completed at a time just prior to your bedtime so that when you complete step three you can then get ready and go to bed. As a side note, letting the dog out and then taking him to his bed will probably be a routine which will be consistent throughout the rest of his life so this puppy version can move on to that as the puppy matures.
Step One: Get the treats out and give your puppy a short but challenging training session. Things we would recommend to train during that first week: (Sit, Down, Hand Target, etc.)
These exercises may seem basic, but we are looking to stimulate the dog's brain in a way which will help him to develop neurologically. Learning is very tiring but not too arousing. These simple exercises don't require much movement, but they require a lot of brain power. This should leave the pups exhausted.
Step Two: Take the puppy outside in the garden on the lead and ensure they eliminate. After eating treats in step one and having little mind-blowing first training sessions, the fresh air should give your puppy an opportunity to sniff and to wee and poo.
The reason we stipulate that the pup goes out on lead is so that they don't have zoomies and start looning around. We want to prevent the zooming about so, particularly if the puppy is a boisterous and energetic disposition. If required, you can hold back a little of the puppy’s dinner portion and drop it to make a little treat trail around the garden as you walk out with the puppy.
This gives somewhere for the pup to direct their energy that isn't going to end up in them running about. When the puppy is calm, stop sprinkling the food and hold off until they have been to the loo.
Step Three: Give the puppy something to chew, set up the place to sleep and place the puppy in his sleeping area. Ensure there is an adult available from then onwards through the night. For the first three nights at least, puppy should sleep in a place they feel comfortable and relaxed. That might mean on the bed if they find it too hard in a crate or in a bed beside the client’s bed.
You need to be able to touch the puppy. That might mean that the you have to sleep downstairs for the first week. The aim is that over the first week the puppies start sleeping well in places s/he is comfortable and secure, whilst a relationship between you and the puppy is built and the puppy becomes familiar with his surroundings.

But when I get fabulous feedback like this it really does feed my soul ❤️

When has it become a thing to never let your dog sniff on walks unless it has been given a cue to do so??

Honestly, you don't need to be a dictator, to have a lovely functional relationship with your dog!!
