Training Recall and Loose Lead Walking at Home.
You might be wondering how or why we work on recall at home?
Well, recall actually starts close to you, how many of you have a dog who recalls to within arms reach and then runs away?
Your dog needs to value being close to you. We call this Proximity. A lot of dogs don't value proximity because coming back into your space often means the fun is going to end!
When we practice recall at home, I call her off her boundary to different positions, left, right and centre, having value in all 3 positions is important as I may need to have her in each position depending upon what's happening around us and just as importantly it keeps her thinking which means she doesn't get bored and stop listening.
Valuing proximity is also vital to loose lead walking. Dogs who don't value proximity pull on lead because whatever it is they are pulling towards is more important than the space around their handler.
This entire session took about 3 minutes, that is all. Short, fun sessions are way more powerful than long, drawn-out drills. Dogs learn more when they're having fun, and just like us if they get bored with a task, then it becomes a chore... that is definitely not the result we are looking for. Notice how joyful Bracken is to start a session🥰🐶🥰

Rainy Day Games.
Game 3 It's Raining Rewards.
This is a great game to build confidence and the ability to think things through, they may bark, don't be tempted to help them out, let them work it out for themselves.
Top Tip, use rolls of the same width... I didn't!!! #dreamdogs.training #dogtrainingscarborough #caninescentwork #indoordoggames

Rainy Day Games.
Game 1 Simple Toilet Roll Search.
Scent/search games are great for getting your dog to use their nose, 5 minutes of using their nose is just as tiring as a walk and much more fun and fulfilling for your dog. @followers

This is a great team building game for you and your dog.
They lead the learning which is great for growing their independence, tolerance of frustration and the ability to figure things out for themselves which in turn helps them feel more empowered confident and optimistic in all areas of their lives.
Follow the all stages, remain patient, let your dog work it out for themselves and above all else stay quiet other than giving verbal praise when they get it right.

Today was the last of our Scent-sational Sniffers course for this year, we've had the pleasure of running this course twice now with some amazing dogs and their owners.
Here Daisy (the handler) and Maple (her dog) are working together as a team, Maple is locating a unique scent contained within the tin (this is like teaching your dog to locate drugs or cash for example) and then indicating when she's found it and it's position to her handler.
Our next Scentwork course will run in spring and is open to all breeds and ages, get in touch to register interest as places are limited
Using scentwork on your walks boosts your dog's engagement with you, it's like you're speaking their language and becoming part of their world.
Bracken absolutely loves all scgentwork and will search and retrieve lost articles like credit cards or keys, she will also indicate on scent, like a sniffer dog would search for drugs or cash which is what she's doing here.
If you would like to register for our next Scentwork course which will happen in spring please comment below
