✨️✨️ 121 Success Story ✨️✨️ Lottie is a gorgeous springer spaniel who loves life, and loves exploring! However, she was loving it so much, she would switch off her listening ears and ignore recalls, especially where there was the option of running off after people, dogs, or rummaging through discarded food or rubbish left in the park! 😲 (Please tidy up after yourselves humans!!)! So we made some changes! ✅️ We taught Lottie some fun engagement games to bring her focus and attention back to her family. ✅️ We played some impulse control games, teaching Lottie calmness and patience. ✅️ We introduced a muzzle to restrict the opportunity for her to pick up and eat gross stuff whilst she was in training. ✅️ We taught a 'Stop' cue to ask Lottie to stop where she was instead of trotting off in her own little world when distracted As you can see, Lottie's family really did their homework, and we were soon able to progress to the busy park where Lottie had previously struggled to maintain any focus! And here she is, with wonderful attention on her family, ignoring other people and dogs, and beautiful responses to her family's cues! ✨️ Remember, putting the fun into your training will always make a positive difference! ✨️ #recalltraining #emergencystoptraining #puppytraining #dogtraining #Crawley #Horsham

🐾 Investigating Weird Stuff!! 🐾 In case you haven't noticed, us humans are pretty weird... The things we wear, ride around on play with, and create are all quite strange really... 🤔 In this little video we have puppies investigating an elizabethan collar, a ball pit, rattley hula hoops and a long fabric tunnel. We also had a skeleton mask, a fake beard, hi-viz jacket, an umbrella, a big plastic table cloth and a few other random bits and bobs. Its helpful to allow your puppy to explore different things they may encounter in life, in a calm, gentle and fun way. Always watch for the unsure body language, such as that displayed by Jasmine when she first saw the hula hoop. Her ears were held slightly back, her tail low, there was a close of her mouth (was it a tiny lip lick?), and she stepped backwards away from the hoop and sat at a distance. She had a little break, and the hoop was then placed on the ground instead, and Jasmine felt more comfortable to go and check it out. Her body is much less tense, her ears forward, tail held higher and with a bit of a wag, and she is happier to step over and around the hoop, rewarded with some tasty treats of course! Well done Jasmine Rio, Kenzo and Plum! 🐾 Don't rush, take it slow and steady, take breaks as needed, and always watch what your puppy is communicating through their body language 🐾 #puppyschooluk #puppyconfidence #puppyplaytime #puppyhabituation #puppysocialisation #Crawley #Horsham #dogtraining #pupytraining
