This is our second session with Coby in our Puppy 1:1 Program. Coby is coming along great and making good progress.
Still causing havoc with his sharp teeth and nails, which we are working on.
This is a critical part and focus as this could easily become a behavioural issue so need to address this.
We have also been working on:
🐶Drop command
🐶Lead work
🐶LURING

Making great progress on standard obedience and he is even ringing the bells hanging from the door (as we discussed in first session) twhrn he wants to go out (toilet training)😁

He is a pleasure to work with ♥️

YES or NO TO RETRACTABLE LEASHES?!

Did you know that your dog's retractable leash is not just a poor training decision for most dogs, it's also DANGEROUS?

If your dog is already prone to pulling on a leash...
🐾 a retractable lead will exacerbate that problem.
🐾The mechanics of it teach them that if they pull at the end, they will be rewarded by getting to walk further away from you.
🐾This encourages them to pull when on walks, even if they're back on a standard leash.

Many retractable leashes can extend over 20 feet! While some owners feel that this gives their dog additional freedom on walks, it can also allow your dog to get away from you and get into a dangerous situation

🐾 Imagine that your dog is at the very end of a long retractable lead, and a stray animal takes you both by surprise by running out of some bushes and starting a fight with your dog.
🐾Not only are you 20 feet away from where this is happening, but you also can't control your own dog because the cord is too thin to pull them back without getting some SERIOUS rope burn on your hands.

⚠️Can your dog be a bit skittish sometimes?

🐾 Imagine that you trip on a walk and accidentally drop your retractable leash, and that plastic housing that stores the cord clatters on the concrete.
🐾Your dog runs a few steps away, hearing that thud behind them... and now they take off, because the dragging of that plastic housing on the pavement is making a terrible scary noise right at their heels and they think they're being chased!
🐾This is a shockingly common tale when dogs go missing.

⚠️Last, but certainly not least,

🐾they can be dangerous for both the dog and the human on the other end! Dogs have been known to be severely injured by running full speed until they are out of lead, and the resulting trauma to their neck can cause burns and wounds, collapsed and lacerated tracheas, and even permanent spinal damage. 🐾These leashes are known to break down over time. That thin cord can break pretty easily and snap back to injure the handler at the other end.

As a dog parent in that situation, it's often your first instinct to grab at the cord to stop your dog from taking off, but that can cause deep lacerations and even complete finger amputations!

While SOME pet parents use them for training (i.e. working on a dog's recall), the risks almost always FAR outweigh the benefits of using a retractable leash, especially on your daily walks.

Play it safe for your dog and yourself and opt for a traditional leash.

Quick question ❓

What day of the week and time is best to receive Facebook Posts?!

Tell me....

Do you use a slip leads?
Do you use it correctly?

Slip leads have become the fashion BUT can do a lot of DAMAGE!! as you can see in pictures below....

🥺Slip leads can be dangerous for dogs and should only be used by experienced handlers in certain circumstances. Certainly not if your dog is an excessive puller!!

🥺You only have to yank on the slip lead ONCE to risk bruising, whiplash, headaches, crushed trachea, damage to larynx, and fractured vertebrae. The longer the lead, the worse the injuries could be, potentially with permanent or even fatal injuries.

So...

THINK! 💬⚠️ Before using one...

"Close proximity is an extension of trust"

The proximity level will vary from dog to dog: establish co-habitingndogd may be comfortable sleeping in the same room together but prefer to eat separately,

Whereas closely bonded pairs may share a bed, meal and drink water together.

It takes hours of training that no one sees that makes minutes with clients where things happen.

You have quieter ones that don't post every single day because they are too busy helping owners and their dogs and there are...
Those who post daily on Facebook, criticise other trainers and constantly show off how good they are... Or think they are.

Society has sadly become too reliant on social media 😔 but remember....
It isn't always those who are visible that are the best!
