✅ Do you want to learn and practice how to safely meet and interact with other dogs, socialising your puppy and know what to do if it does not go to plan?

For any of the above then our Award winning behaviourist and puppy trainer Jenni is who you should be coming to work with.

Love those early steps of recall training. All one to one puppy training packages included the foundation of solid recall. A skill that will enable you to trust your dog off lead and maintain yourself as as responsible dog owner

Sometimes our puppies / dogs turn simple things into a game. Take Winston the 6 month old Great Dane. Instead of making it easy to fasten his seatbelt he choose to make it much more difficult. In Steps Jenni and half the job is done in minutes, just to teach Winston’s guardians the same technique and then it 100% job done. Then we can move onto other areas of his training

Today I met 6 month old Great Dane Winston. He loves everyone a bit too much and doesn’t understand his own size. Today we practised walking nicely on the lead and greeting people calmly. Also I taught how to get him in the car safely and putting the seat belt on without mouthing and been silly. Such a sweet boy🤍 I will see him again in the next couple weeks.

🎆 **Firework season is upon us Helping Our Dogs Cope with Noise Phobias** 🎆

As we approach Firework Night, many dog owners are preparing for the inevitable stress that loud noises can bring to our dogs. Noise phobias in dogs are common, and it’s crucial to take proactive steps to help them feel safe and secure during this time.

**At-Home Remedies for Noise Phobias:**

Create a Safe Space:** Set up a cozy area where your dog can retreat when the fireworks start. Use blankets, their favorite toys, and anything that smells like you to create a comforting environment.

Desensitisation:** Gradually expose your dog to recorded sounds of fireworks at a low volume while providing treats and praise. Slowly increase the volume over time to help them get used to the noise.

Calming Aids:** Consider using calming products like anxiety wraps, pheromone diffusers, or natural supplements. Always consult your vet before trying new products.

Background Noise:** Keep the TV or radio on during the fireworks to help mask the sound. Close to curtains.

🐶🐶Teaching Puppies from a Young Age:
Starting early can make a significant difference. Here are some tips:

Socialisation:** Expose your puppy to various sounds and environments during their critical development period (between 3-16 weeks). Introduce them to different noises in a controlled and positive manner.

Positive Reinforcement:** Reward your puppy with treats and praise when they encounter new sounds calmly. This builds confidence and teaches them that loud noises aren’t something to fear.

Gradual Exposure:** Just like with older dogs, play recorded sounds at a low volume and gradually increase it while rewarding your pup for staying calm.
