IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO MANY EFFORTS TO ENTERTAIN OUR MUTTS.
Good for them and their brains.
Good for our bond.
Good for our rubbish.
Love it!

A little trick recall reward system I have going on with Little Miss Misty.
She gets amped up about food and returning for a recall sometimes so we've been forming a good habit of recalling and stopping, I sneakily drop a treat, then I move to cue her to find it. This lowers her arousal, is a good, sniffy reward and it means we can keep up regular recall with rewards when she doesn't want to play with a toy.
Jumping is reducing, enjoyment is increasing.
Love this little lady

BONNIE π€
Young lady Bon has been working on some patterns and engagement or when she's out on walks and things in the environment may get a bit much for her in what ever way and she may Bark, pull, become a bit frantic and not now what to do with herself.
She's really enjoying the pendulum and smashed practicing it in a completely new environment that we haven't visited before, AND there were digs Barking in the background!
She's knows this game well so knows what to do keeping it predictable when the surroundings are not.
Its low arousal with minimal verbal input from the attached human.
Looking forward to progressing this as we move forward ππ

Solo training and enrichment walk with miss Misty today.
A lot of independent time and a lot of varied engagement activities during our walk.
Its important to allow natural mooching even if they have to remain on lead to take in the environment and discover what's been going on through smells and exploration.
It's also important to engage with our dogs on walks, it strengthens bonds, proofs behaviours and is often fun!
Misty is a pleasure to take out and is doing so much better with coping with her arousal levels and interest in demanding treats is dwindling. π€πΎ

Big Bonnie's back for some action.
So lush to see how much progress they've made together π
Introducing a couple Of patterns today to keep Bons brain satisfied and to give her a predictable activity to do when things around in the environment get a bit over stimulating.
She and her human guardian.aced it today! Looking forward to seeing them next week.
