Shamanic Healer The decision to open Cumbria Dog Training came about while recuperating from a serious illness. At the time I was a partner in a different dog training business, where I'd met many people and trained many dogs. Along the way, different owners had suggested I should "go it alone" and set up my

own business. As I slowly returned to full health, I decided it was time to act on these comments and in 2010 Cumbria Dog Training was born. My only regret ? I should have done it a long time ago ! For further information, please visit my website and blog. http://www.cumbria-dog-training.com/

CHRISTMAS 🎄

You either love it or tolerate it!! I know what I do!!

Anyway……

Our dogs need more consideration over the festive period if things are going to be busy. Try and help your dog get used to a safe place if this is a new concept, now, can be a bedroom with its bed and toys etc

Dogs don’t know it’s Christmas but they do know that the energy of the home and humans has changed and it isn’t just for one day.

Just some points that you may find useful if you have guests coming.(please feel free to add in the comments!):-
🐾 Ensure your dog has a safe place it can go to freely.
🎄keep to the usual routine if you can.
🐾Before guests arrive give your dog good exercise balanced with mental stimulation.
🎄If no time for exercise then hunting treats in the garden.
🐾Give your dog plenty of breaks outside during the day.
🎄when your dog is in its safe place please ensure everyone respects that and does not disturb.
🐾If your dog doesn’t like being g alone then have it near you on a mat with a long lasting chew, again, if your dog is there then that is respected and it is left alone
🎄A lot of dogs of course will love the excitement and will join in but these also need time out if they are unable to switch off themselves
🐾Keep all food away from dogs, there are more dangers around at Christmas/new year.
🎄Be aware of other dangers such as batteries, small toys etc.
🐾Choose natural treats, so much rubbish is sold especially this time of year.
🎄Read your dog more, how is your dog coping, what emotion is it in.
🐾Be aware of children and interactions

Are you clear in your mind what and how you want to train in a session?
If you’re not, your dog will struggle.

“Where’s my tea then?”….,,,,

Where are you in your emotions?

Let me explain……

I am working with several clients who emotionally want their puppies to know they love them.

The stress bucket is explained and how puppies need sleep, as well as interaction and stimulation through play/training/calming/love etc. all about balance.

But, the emotion of the human can create greater behaviour issues in the puppies.

There is guilt, when the puppy is hyper and needing sleep the need from the human is to play more.

The puppy is overly reacting to people and dogs when on a walk but the need of the human is to keep walking in these situations.

The puppy is being overstimulated through play with the kids but they want it to be part of the family and not be put for time out somewhere quiet.

Now, this is not a criticism of any of my clients but it is interesting how our emotional needs affect our dogs…. of any age.

We need to step back and look at the bigger picture for the future.

Close work

A lovely day spent with clients who had an early start to get to me Working with a great Lakeland lad!! This is a bit of close work which he got the hang of very quickly with clear guidance from his humans. Well done!!👏

Love Bubble…again

Stop going on walks if you have poor recall and no boundaries and a dog who is more interested in the world than with you The walks will happen but your dog needs help to understand how to go on a safe walk with you.

A little gentle play this morning

A little gentle play this morning ☺️🐾

We only add movement when the dogs are steady to just watching. Walking at a calm pace also helps them, we’re not rushing and allowing plenty of “time outs” There is a process! These dogs were of similar level and worked well together at the right distance. The group was split up to help dogs that couldn’t cope with this yet Everyone did so well Better plan another one!! Watch this space! Thank you to you all as some of you had a distance to travel 🙏😊❤️🐾

Out at a different time of day today… dusk Dogs loved the new smells and rummaging Weird being out as it’s getting dark but lovely 🐾😊

Stream

The gang loved it!!

Grasses

It’s so great to connect with nature when out with your dogs. I just loved how the sun was hitting these grasses. Happy human happy dogs! 🐶 🥰🐾

Walking

When helping a reactive dog distance is crucial and also how long your session is. There can be no rushing the process, it takes as long as it takes. Help your dog by turning away with it and rewarding or just standing bringing in calmness. You cannot help your dog by doing this on a walk where you meet dogs, strong management needs to be in place so pick your location wisely that allows room for movement.

Fell play

Bo is a regular boarding guest and here she is having some fun with Torvi. 😎🐾😊

Sniffing

Sniffy walks x As well as helping your dog it may well help you too!! Remember a 20 min sniffy walk is the same as approx 40 min walk and can be more beneficial. Slow things down, enjoy just being, nature is wonderful 🙏❤️🐾
