🐾 Training with Katharine - Whiskey 🐾

Last week I went to go and meet the gorgeous Whiskey!

Whiskey knows the basics but is a rescue and so needs some help in learning the ways of the world.

We worked on getting her focus while out and about to help with some loose lead walking and ways to make her walk more interactive as she has a very busy brain but is a bit underweight at the moment so her owners are taking it steady when it comes to the distance she is going to help build up her strength.

She also has a dangerous fascination with moving cars 🙈 so we talked about getting her focus whilst letting the cars pass to train her to make the choice to check in with her owners before lunging towards a speeding vehicle 😅

Whisky is obviously a clever cookie and has the most dedicated owners so I really don’t think it will be long until she is totally smashing it!

I look forward to catching up in a couple of weeks to work on our next challenge - recall but again, I don’t think it will take her long to master that, either 🤩

🐾 Pawgress Report - Training with Katharine - Toffee 🐾

On Thursday I went for my second session with Toffee.

There is nothing more a trainer likes to see than an owner that has clearly been practicing!

Toffee’s focus was so much better and they are both really getting the hang of loose lead walking.

Toffee is still very keen on saying hello to everyone so we worked on sniffing games to help channel her energy and keep her attention rather than he being distracted by every potential friend.
We found this was really effective and got close to other dogs whilst maintaining her attention.

We also allowed her to play with other dogs that were keen and worked on the best way to get her to come away.

We then went through what to do with Toffee in a cafe or a pub and how to get her a blanket and how to teach her to settle on it so she has a safe spot wherever she goes.

Toffee and her owner are off on holiday and I look forward to hearing about their adventures, I am sure they will have a lovely time 🥰

🐾 Training with Meg - Bilbo 🐾

Last week, I met the lovely Bilbo and his family 🥰 Bilbo has reached adolescence and his owners are seeing a lot of changes in his behaviour.

This is a very difficult time in all dogs lives as they become sexually mature “teenagers” they are experiencing lots of hormone changes, they take more risks and seem irrational. It can feel like they have forgotten everything you’ve taught them.

Our main focus was Bilbo's reactivity to dogs and people on lead walks. We had a long talk about when this started, triggers, trigger stacking and training techniques to use. Bilbo was a superstar and I’m looking forward to hearing how he continues with his training.

🐾 Training with Katharine - Cash 🐾

Last week I got to go and meet this scrumbly article, Cash.

His owner has never had a puppy before so they wanted some help to make sure they were on the right track.

Once I had had a moment to get over the fact that my cute-o-meter had exploded we had a big chat about all the things he knows and the things he doesn’t.

One of the things his owner needed help with was Cash displaying a bit of resource guarding behaviour while he was eating. It can come as a bit of a shock but actually resource guarding in puppies can be common. They have more than likely come from a home where they have been eating from the same dish as their siblings. Whilst this is obviously very convenient for the breeder, it can mean that puppies feel they have to muscle their way in and keep what they can for themselves.

We spoke about not giving cash his whole meal in his bowl but rather keep a little behind so that while he was eating, his owner could pass by and add some extra. This way, Cash can learn that people near his food won’t mean things get taken away but that in fact, things get added and he doesn’t need to guard his food.

It is clear that his owner is very dedicated and I have no doubt that Cash is going to grow into a fabulous dog!

🐾 Training with Katharine - Bruno 🐾

Last week I went to see Bruno.

Bruno is a sweet fella but can sometimes feel a bit nervous with new people and when out and about he can get a bit overexcited when he sees another dog and is not sure what to do with himself!

After a big chat with his owners we set out to see what was going on first hand.

It was clear that he was unsure about how to behave and when he saw a dog, he would get a bit jazzy but when he is on a lead, he has nowhere for that energy to go and it can come out in a way that appears like aggression. I, however, do not think he is aggressive, he just needs to have the tools to deal with such situations.

We worked on getting him to check in with his owners and also on how to be proactive in distracting him from another dog. We played sniff and search games which gave him a job and a focus for his energies but in a calm way.

I look forward to hearing about his progress when I check in next week 💖

Another lovely set of classes to start the week!

My first star of the week went to sweet Roni! Roni has really developed her focus recently and was gazing at her owner, ready for any instruction. She is getting to the point where she is looking up, anticipating a command and is ready to action it. Well done Ronnie!

Over the last couple of sessions Cloud has been so full of energy and had on occasion left his listening ears at home 🙈 well this week, what a difference! Excellent listening and you could tell he was really trying his best 🥹 well done, Cloud!

The star from my obedience class went to Harry. As they dogs have got older there is a lot of testosterone floating about but the calm in the storm is Harry. Harry comes to the sessions, ready to learn and ready to take on new challenges and doesn’t bat an eyelid at all the other silly boys 😅 well done, Harry!

From next week we are going to be doing our classes in a paddock and I am looking forward to all the extra things we were going to be able to work on outside 🥰

🐾 Training with Meg - Marnie 🐾

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the adorable Marnie and her lovely family 🥰

Marnie is a 6 month old French bull dog pup with lots of energy and intelligence. Her family had a few things they like help with to make all of their lives easier and happier.

Firstly we spoke about activities and enrichment for Marnie to use that clever brain of hers. There are so many different enrichment activities you can do/ set up for your pups and the benefits are incredible.

Next we spoke about recall, we used a recall word of the owners choice and practiced in the house and then in the garden. Between the 3 of us using the same word. This is the start of recalling training and we will slowly build on this.

Lastly we worked on Marnies impulse control around the front door opening. The owners had already done some foundation work which was great so we were building on top of that.

Well done all, you’ve got lots to work on and I’m looking forward to hearing how you get on 💕

Last week I went to go and see Ace for our second session.

I love going to see a dog that I have seen before and immediately see that their owner has been practicing! When I first met Ace, he was very unsure about me entering the house and barked a lot.

This time he did bark initially but soon stopped and came over for a sniff. I stood there calmly and he was such a good boy! So much more relaxed.

On our walk he was checking in beautifully with his owner and I got to really get to know him more. I discovered that Ace absolutely LOVES sniffing. Sniffing is good for all dogs but is also really soothing so good for a dog that is a bit on the nervous side.

The owner has been telling me that while he was excellent and checking in when there were no distractions, he was still struggling if another dog came close. We therefore started to introduce ‘find it’ games so that he could really use his nose and keep his focus. Right on cue, a dog came up the path so we got a little distance and started a game of ‘find it’.

Well, he barely looked up and when he did, he saw the dog but made the choice to redirect his attention to his job and we were both so proud of him!

I am really looking forward to our next session and seeing his progress 🤩

Last week Toffee came to see me with her owner.

They had been having a bit of bother with Toffee’s impulse control. She is a very friendly girl and is just so excited by the very sight of another dog or human that she can barely contain herself.

Being friendly is obviously fantastic but we need to introduce a little pause sometimes because not everyone wants to play!

We worked on getting Toffee to check in with her owner. We practiced this in my field with no distractions as she would have been to excitable and unable to listen.

It is really good when training your dog something new, to do so with as few distractions as possible as it really helps the dog get on task and understand what you are asking them to do. When they are fully getting it, it will be easier to translate the training into busier areas.

Toffee picked it all up really easily but will need to keep practicing so that she can apply her new lesson to the real world!

It is clear that she has a very dedicated owner so I look forward to hearing all about her progress 🥰
