๐พ Helping our young dogs learn to cope in the world is not always as easy as it sounds. Here at All4Paws, we encompass not only teaching our dogs important skills that will be useful at home and out and about, things such as recall, walking nicely on a loose lead, learning not to jump up, how to settle and wait and to sit, lay down and stand on cue. We also work to help our dogs learn to socialise, greet and behave appropriately around other dogs.
๐พ Many people come to us for help with this, but mistakenly think that just by throwing dogs in together off lead for a free for all and letting them work it out between themselves is a good way to do it. And although dogs can absolutely be allowed to make friends and play together, taking this approach in the first instance can often result in the opposite of what we were hoping for. Often it can only take one bad experience for things to go wrong and take a lot of time to put it right.
๐พ We also see many dogs come to us for help during adolescence where this approach has been taken as a puppy and dogs have either been scared by another dog and now have anxiety, or they just end up being enormously frustrated when on lead because theyโre now not able to go off and play with every dog they see, which in turn can also hinder recall and leadwalking training. This frustration on lead is also sometimes mis-diagnosed as reactivity, fear or aggression. Getting things right from the start can really make a huge difference to our dogs behaviour growing up and help avoid some of these issues.
