Have a big party when your dog comes to you for recall! Layer up the rewards by doing praise and touch and then a few pieces of food - one at a time! To make the reward last longer. You want your dog to loooove recall so much!!!

Very pleased that Bella is coming away from dogs straight away now. I call her and she comes. It’s taken a lot of practice with high value food. I let Bella said hello to dogs she know but don’t let her say hello for too long. As this is when it goes wrong. She does a quick hello and then I recall her away.

Do be careful in the heat. It is really hot for dogs again today. Cool them down in the garden with a paddling pool or hose. In the house with a frozen lick mat and a fan and cooling mat. 🍦❄️🧊

I am really enjoying listening to Cesar Milan read his book in the car. He says the three important things to make a balanced dog is 1) exercise, 2) discipline/leadership 3) affection. In this order. Lots of dog owners do the last one and are not so good at the other ones.
Do read or listen to his book. 📕

Sit/stay in Eynsford Recreation for one minute. Can your dog do that?

Focus games? Do you play any with your dog on a walk? Here are some ideas.

Sit/stay practices your dog’s self control. We need dog to have self when you on lead, meeting people, meal times, walking through door ways. Work on getting some duration first in different places. Starting at home.

Look! - good to teach a word that they know to look at you. Very useful as a distraction tool when you don’t want them to look at something else.

Inside doors are also a hazard. If dogs rush past you and through to the other room. All doors need to have good manners. You decide when your dog can go through the dog.
