Doopie Dog Training & Behaviour

25/12/2024

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you are all having the most wonderful day already ♥️✨ As I am sure you can all imagine our day is all about the dogs, both of who left their Santa sacks under the tree last night and did very well from Santa Paws! Present opening was then followed by a family walk (yes Mr Doopie Dog is wearing shorts in DECEMBER!! But how warm is it??), now having quick snoozes whilst our (their*) dinner cooks!! Have a good one everyone! 🎅🎄🐾

And just like that our dog walking services have ended! A very bittersweet moment as we put full focus into all things training and behaviour from 2025. It has been well and truly heartbreaking parting from the gorgeous dogs and family’s I have worked with for the last 3 years! Each and everyone is truly special and there have been many tears shed over the last few days. I will be forever grateful for all the support I have received in making this decision but most importantly for trusting me with your amazing fur babies, I will cherish those moments, even the ones where we ended up covered in mud and soaked wet through. Thank you for the memories and luckily I live round the corner from you all so good luck getting rid of me that easily! 🐶❤️🐾

The only way to end puppy training! 😴 Gorgeous Maggie did the most amazing job in the first session of her puppy package earlier this week, at just 11 weeks old she is already doing a fantastic job of settling in at home as well as acing some foundation skills we have introduced. Of course, at such a young age using your brain is tough work so it was time for snoozes whilst we wrapped things up! Well done little lady! 🩷😍

Gorgeous Roger! 😍 It’s been a week since we first introduced Roger to a muzzle and with lots of positives and taking it all at his own pace he is now voluntarily putting his nose in and remaining comfortable as it is fastened up! 🥰

I LOVE muzzle training, there’s many reasons why but here are just a few below…

- People are more likely to avoid a muzzled dog meaning anxious/fearful dogs can actually get the distance and space they deserve.
- Can prevent scavengers eating something dangerous.
- Gives owners peace of mind whilst out.
- Means a dog is already comfortable if needing to wear one during already stressful situations (grooming and vet visits)

What they do not do however is restrict a dog from having fun, taking food, having a drink and panting. The muzzle Roger is wearing is from the amazing .muzzle.movement ❤️

If you have any questions whatsoever about muzzles, the training involved and how they could be of help to you, just pop us a message! 🐾

A fantastic session yesterday morning with Lola, family, and big sister Bella joining for support. Lola is an anxious girl who is starting to build confidence around other dogs whilst out and where we normally work with dogs individually, Lola is much more comfortable with Bella around. This session we decided to head out to an open location to work towards calmer behaviours with dogs in the distance and she absolutely smashed it! Seeing over 12 dogs, including passing one in the street, without any reactions and offering voluntary engagement back to dad like a pro! Well done little lady! 🤩

Swipe to see some proud moments!! ➡️🤩 Today we received the most amazing message from Ziggy’s mum about how fantastic he has done on his first little getaway! Ziggy is a very typical, high on life, young cocker spaniel who has not always been easy for his family. They have however been so consistent throughout those early stages and all that hard work is definitely starting to pay off! At just 8 months old he is turning out to be the most incredible boy and they all have so many more adventures to look forward too! Well done guys!! 👏❤️

Another early puppy graduate last night, well done gorgeous Koda, you have been fantastic!! 🤩🎓

Lovely last session with gorgeous Nnenna and her mum! I am so proud of how far they have both come in the last three sessions, Nnenna responding back to each whistle and offering regular voluntary check ins whilst out in a public space! Well done!! 🤩👏

Full of cold, awful weather but me and Mr Doopie Dog managed to drag ourselves out last night for a few hours on a little Christmas do seeing the hilarious Jimmy Carr🎄

Lovely Ben! 💙 Ben is an anxious little boy in many aspects but is doing a fabulous job of settling in nicely after being re-homed just 8 weeks ago. It’s important with dogs like Ben we take a step back with expectations, help him with the now, build on new relationships and take everything at his pace! Yesterday’s session we broke up steps with traveling in the car, building confidence approaching, voluntarily getting in and remaining calm whilst the engine turned on! Well done little man! 🤩👏

A lovely last training package session with the gorgeous Dolly and her mum! 🤎 As a nearly 8 month old Italian Sipone, Recall has become a little less predictable whilst out. With introducing a new, stronger cue and utilising some of Dolly’s breed traits, both are now absolutely smashing it and their connection is ever growing! Well done!! I look forward to catching up again in the new year! 🤩👏
