It would be a rare client visit that there isn't some type of mixed messages given....and often.

We often don't realise just how many mixed messages and signals we can actually give.....and how often we give them.
Mixed messages will work against everything you want to achieve.

Let's look at this from your dogs or puppies point of view....

They may be given an old shoe to chew.....so shoes are now ok to chew?
You may tell your dog "down" over and over when you want them out of the car....but they ARE down (lying down).
They are not allowed on the furniture.....but occasionally when a movie is on...they are allowed ?

If you can start to become aware of mixed messages you give.....you may just start to see how many times signals are just unclear.
A muddle of different words by everyone... yet an expectation that they are understood and that your dog is just ignoring what you asked.
Are they ignoring or have we just asked them something that has a totally different meaning to the last time you said those words?
Yet we expect a different result?

Have a talk with the family and work out the SAME words and clear "rules" going forward.

Your dog will thank you and they WILL start to show you more wanted behaviour and less unwanted behaviour simply because they now understand exactly what you are trying to communicate.

Different rules.
Different words.
Different expectations
They will always give you far different results than you may want.

Students at the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training & Behavior learn to handle and teach skills to all kinds of dogs including this beautiful Leonberger. Isn’t she gorgeous? Learning how to teach all dogs, regardless of their breed, size,sex or behaviour issue using humane methods, is our philosophy at VSA and we love how effective it is in teaching skills, promoting confidence and strengthening bonds between dogs and people. I wish all dogs were trained this way, but unfortunately that is not the case. However, the more people learn how to teach without intimidating dogs or causing pain, the more dogs and people will benefit and that is why I’m so happy that VSA students go on to run such successful businesses.

Дуже шкода всіх бідось, які потрапляють в притулок, але таких особливо( Чарлі. 12 рочків. Йому холодно і страшно, він майже не бачить. Його господиня, з якою він прожив все життя померла і тепер він серед незнайомих звуків і запахів. Хто може забрати бідосю щоб він гідно дожив свій вік і зможе подарувати йому тепло та любов, відгукніться будь-ласочка.

Last week Kim's Home took on another dog. Those of you who have followed us for a long time will know what it means when I say that she came from the same hideous place as Grace, Charlie, Rowan and so many others. Thankfully she is young and doesn't seem too damaged by her time owned by a known abuser and locked in a metal container open to the elements - no bedding of course. She is only 11/12 months old and will soon get stronger. I am so grateful to a friend who is fostering her for me. She will be spayed late April when she has put on some weight. She is playful, gentle and will be looking for a home from May.

Pet Peeve!

Please look after your dogs.

Take them on a sniffari instead of always playing fetch.
It enriches their lives, gives them new information and tires them out so much more than physical exercise :)

I wear yellow because I have arthritis and it hurts.
I don't want other dogs to jump on me or bump into me when they're playing.
Giving me space makes me feel safer and more confident, so I can enjoy my walks without fear of pain.
Thank you - you make feel so much better. 💛

Dalia was rescued just the other day. What a crime it is to break a galgos spirit. So frightened and worried of everything around her but in time we hope that will change ❤️

Dalia fue rescatada el otro día. Que crimen es romper el espíritu de un galgo. Tan asustada y preocupada por todo lo que la rodea, pero con el tiempo esperamos que eso cambie ❤️
