🐾 Unlocking the Power of Scentwork for All Ages! 🐾

Scentwork is an incredible activity that brings out the natural talents of dogs of all ages – from curious young pups to our wise golden oldies!

🌟 For young dogs, scentwork is a fantastic way to channel that boundless energy into focused exploration, building confidence, and sharpening problem-solving skills. Plus, it's a fun way to bond and engage their amazing noses!

🌟 For older dogs, scentwork provides gentle mental stimulation without the physical strain, keeping their minds sharp and spirits high. It’s also a wonderful way to keep them active, even if their mobility isn’t what it used to be.

Give scentwork a try and watch your dog’s world open up one sniff at a time!

🤪 Does your dog struggle with hyperactivity or always seem 'busy'?

🐾Teaching a duration behavior, like a sit with a release cue, can work wonders!

🐶✨It helps your dog learn to stay in one place and focus on doing one thing until you give the go-ahead to do something else. This builds patience, self-control, and a calmer mindset, making everyday life more manageable for you and your pup!

Step 1: Start with the Sit Cue
Ask your dog to sit.
Once they sit, immediately reward them with a treat.

Step 2: Add Duration Gradually
After your dog sits, wait 1-2 seconds before rewarding them again. Slowly increase the time you wait between treats, aiming for longer periods of sitting.

Step 3: Introduce the Release Cue
Once your dog can hold the sit for a few seconds, introduce a release cue like "Okay!" or "Free!".
After saying the cue, encourage them to move out of the sit by stepping back or using a hand motion, then reward.

Step 4: Practice with Distractions
Once your dog is reliable at holding the sit, gradually increase distractions around them. Reward them for staying seated until you give the release cue.

Step 5: Build Duration and Distance
Continue to extend the time they stay in the sit and start stepping further away before giving the release cue. Always reward for staying seated until released.

Building Confidence in Sensitive Dogs: Mabel's Journey with 🐾❤️

🐕 Mabel is a loving and sociable dog who enjoys interactions with people. However, like many sensitive dogs, she can become anxious in certain environments, such as the vet's or during physiotherapy sessions. In these situations, Mabel would often shut down and seek to escape rather than engage with the process at hand.

⛑️ For the past three years, Mabel has been under the care of her amazing physiotherapist, Donna, Physio. Donna has been patient and understanding, and we have had a massive breakthrough recently, Mabel has finally reached a point where she feels confident enough to relax and participate in her sessions instead of darting for the door.

🐶 Patience and allowing a dog to progress at their own pace truly pays off, especially for more sensitive types like Mabel. With the right support and environment, even the most anxious dogs can learn to trust, engage, and thrive.

Mabel’s experience serves as a wonderful reminder that progress takes time and every small step forward is a victory. We're so proud of her! 🎉🐶

Do you want to teach your dog how to manage their excitement levels with a fun game?

Try the 'Hot & Cold' tug toy game! 🎾🐶

💥 'Hot' means high-energy play – lots of tugging, excitement, and engagement.

❄️ 'Cold' means calm – asking your dog to pause, drop the toy, and relax.

Switching between these helps your dog learn self-control while still having fun! Start with short 'hot' sessions, and reward them when they settle during 'cold' moments.

Give it a try and watch your pup improve! 🐕✨

Jed is ready to find his forever home!

He is a gentle older man who is looking for a comfortable bed to call his own.

He has previously lived with other dogs and we believe he could live with cats after careful introduction.

Jed would like a home where there are no children.

Teddy finished his package today and wow he was on fire. His humans have worked hard with him and today we put it all to the test. He is an adolescent and as such gets a bit excited when seeing other dogs. Betsy came out to help be a distraction. He was nailing his recall walking past and disengaging. He got to flirt with her at the end 🥰

🐾 Teach Your Dog the Walking 'Middle' Behaviour 🐾

🐶✨ Looking for a fun way to boost your dog’s focus during walks? The "Middle" cue is perfect!

Here’s a simple guide to teach it:

1. Start with Rewards: Grab your dog’s favourite treats or toy to keep them engaged. 🍖🎾

2. Positioning: Stand still and have your dog in front of you. Lure them between your legs using the treat.

3. Encourage Them Forward: As your dog moves to the middle, mark it with a word like “yes" and reward! 🎉

4. Practise: Repeat a few times, then gradually try while walking.

5. Consistency is Key: Practise during short walks to make it part of your routine!

🧡 This cue is great for keeping your pup focused in busy environments and is also a fun bonding trick.

🎥🐾 Show us your dog’s ‘middle’ skill! Share a video and tag us.

Management is a crucial part of dog training! Simple steps like placing a sign on your door asking for post to be left elsewhere can prevent your dog from grabbing the mail (and possibly eating it!). By managing your dog's environment, you can avoid unwanted behaviours and set them up for success. Small changes can make a big difference! 🐾
