🐶 Pay into your relationship with your puppy 🐶

The behaviours our pups perform are normal canine behaviours. Puppies aren’t ‘naughty’ on purpose so it’s important that we pay into our relationship with them and help them get it right:
🐾 Reward behaviours that you like, this will encourage your puppy to do them again in the future.
🐾 Use management to help your puppy practice the behaviours that you want more of.
🐾 Set them up for success and be their advocate when faced with situations that may worry them or cause overwhelm.

🤩 Paying into your relationship will help grow a trusting and positive bond while teaching your puppy what you do want them to do 🤩

😱🐶 How should we deal with things our pups and dogs fear? 🐶😱

(Tip Three)

🐾 Pair the thing they are worried about, with something positive happening to build up a positive association.

After you have given your puppy a choice and you have made the thing your pup is scared of less scary (to the point that they are no longer displaying signs of fear or anxiety), you need to begin to pair the less scary version with something positive.

Doing this will gradually change their emotional response to the thing that they are scared of, at a level they can cope with ⭐️🐶

Remember; when dealing with your puppy's fears, you need to:
1) Give your puppy a choice
2) Make the thing they are scared of less scary
3) Pair the thing they are scared of with something positive happening

Keep sessions short, keep sessions calm but fun and keep sessions positive 🐶🤩🐕

😱🐶 How should we deal with things our pups and dogs fear? 🐶😱

(Tip Two)

🐾 Make the thing they are scared of less scary.

After you have given your puppy a choice - you need to make the thing your pup is scared of less scary, to the point that they are no longer displaying signs of fear or anxiety. Doing this will make it easier for you to begin to change their emotional response and build their confidence.

How do you make the thing they are scared of less scary? I've included a few examples below:

Example 1:
Fear = other dogs trying to say hello.
A less scary version = other dogs at a distance where your pup can observe, but is not worried and is free to move away.

Example 2:
Fear = the beeping sound of a pelican crossing.
A less scary version = a recording of the sound on a super low volume OR the sound at a distance your pup is comfortable with.

Example 3:
Fear = A sweeping brush sweeping up leaves.
A less scary version = A sweeping brush not moving and just resting against the wall or lying on the floor.

Example 4:
Fear = cars travelling past at speed on a busy road.
A less scary version = cars traveling slowly, on a quiet road, at a distance.

During all of these examples and when working to build on your pups confidence and fears, it's all about making them as comfortable, safe and relaxed as possible 🐶🤩🐕
