These are signs your dog may not be mentally stimulated. You’re probably thinking, “No way—that can’t be true! My dog gets an hour’s walk every day, and I even throw their favorite ball!”But here’s the thing: that’s not mental stimulation.If you really want to tire your dog out, you need to engage their brain. ❓Did you know just 10 minutes of scent work is the equivalent of an hour-long walk?That’s because it challenges their brain, taps into their natural instincts, and gets them problem-solving. ⬇️Comment “YES” if you’d love a follow-up reel with a simple scent game you can try at home! #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dog #scentwork #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips

Here’s what I did…
You will notice my dog makes the decision to come back to me when spotting the dog. I don’t need to say anything. 🤐
✅ Firstly, you need to work at a distance you know your dog can cope with and without going over threshold, otherwise you are setting them up to fail
✅ Use a long line so the dog can have some freedom and not feel restricted. Also limits any lead tension
✅ Let your dog look at the trigger, use a marker word - “good”, “yes”
✅ Your dog comes running back. Reward with their favourite treats or use play

⏱️If you get your timing wrong when rewarding, it can stop you progressing in your training ⏱️Let’s use settle training as an example. Your pup’s in a beautiful lie down position on their place. You’re spending ages digging around looking for a treat, meanwhile your pup’s got bored and gone into a sit position. You don’t see this and you reward the wrong behaviour, without even realising. ❌It’s super easy to do and causes a lot of confusion for your puppy. And then you’re there saying “my pup just doesn’t listen to me.” 🤷♀️Here’s a few tips to help: ✅ Invest in a treat pouch - this will give you easy access, so you can reward your puppy instantly✅ Prep your treats in advance - have treats already chopped into small bite-sized pieces ✅ Train for the moment NOT in the moment - practice in controlled environments where you can focus on your timing and rewards correctly Follow for more free puppy tips! 🐶 #doglife #dogsofinstagram #dog #puppylife #puppylove #puppytraining #puppy #dogtraining #DogTrainer

Puppy
Ever Wondered Why Your Puppy Isn’t Listening? 🤔🐾
Is your puppy:
❌ Ignoring you?
❌ Chewing everything in sight?
❌ Acting extra hyper or bitey?
The Problem Might Be… LACK OF SLEEP! 😴
Puppies need 18–20 hours of sleep every day. Without enough rest, you might notice:
🚩 Increased Destructive Behavior (chewing, digging, tearing things up)
🚩 Biting & Nipping More Than Usual
🚩 Hyperactivity or Zoomies That Won’t Stop
🚩 Ignoring You
🚩 Overreacting to Sounds, People, or Other Dogs
🚩 Whining for No Clear Reason
How to Fix This:
✅ Encourage Rest– Balance playtime, training, and naps.
✅ Watch for Tiredness Cues – Yawning, after play, struggling to focus.
✅ Provide a Quiet, Cozy Space – Use a crate or a calm corner for undisturbed sleep.
Remember: A “naughty” puppy is often just an overtired puppy. Encourage rest. 💤

🚫 Why these won’t work…🐕🦺Asking for still positions around triggers Asking your dog to sit, lie down, or stay near triggers often increases their frustration, making reactive behaviors worse.🐶🐕Training while walking other dogs Dogs pick up on each other’s emotions. Trying to train while other dogs are around makes it tough for your dog to focus and for you to give the right attention needed to teach new behaviors.👀Letting your dog fixate on triggers While it’s important for your dog to look at triggers from a safe distance, allowing them to fixate can quickly lead to barking and lunging.Do you want to see a follow up video to learn what you should do when training around triggers?
