It's with a very heavy heart that we are cancelling today's Christmas Fair. The weather hasn't improved and it's just too dangerous. So sorry to let you down! We are going to plan a New Year Party sometime in January to hopefully compensate. Watch this space! Stay safe everyone 🙂

🎄 Christmas Self-Control Challenge 🎄
⭐️ Step 1: Building the Foundation + Level, Easy ⭐️

Ready to get started with our Christmas Self-Control Challenge?

Whether you’re just starting out or your dog already has some skills, this post covers both building your dogs foundation skills and the first festive level—so everyone can join in the fun!

🎁 Step 1: Building the Foundation!
- Let’s teach our dogs to make great choices by rewarding them for disengaging from parts of their daily intake of food/rewards.
- This is the foundation of self-control, not sure where to start? watch this quick game video for the how-to and then get started on the fun: https://vimeo.com/827729344/83cb44e525

🎁 Step 2 (Level, Easy): Festive Fun!
- Once your dog understands the foundation, it’s time to level up! Increase the challenge:
- Once you can move your hand away from your dogs treats/rewards, build on how long your dog can display self control around the food, before rewarding them.
- Add distractions by moving the food/their treats around and into various shapes. Once you're able to move your dogs food rewards around you can create the first festive shape - dog treats/food in the shape of a candy cane!

Here's a picture of Rusti with her candy cane shape (made with turkey treats) 🤩🐕

Share your progress in the comments and let’s celebrate every little success 🎅🐶

🐾 Troubleshooting & Safety Notes:
- Use parts of your dogs daily intake of food to play, if you're concerned about them eating too many dog treats and rewards.
- The foundation game can be played with the food in a closed fist rather than on the floor, if preferred.
- If your dog paws or mouths too much during the foundation stages, protect yourself by covering the food with your foot or a safe item like a plastic beaker, instead of your hand.
- Safety Awareness : this game and challenge is meant for fun and is not suitable for dogs who may display resource guarding behaviours around the food rewards or during the game.

🎓 Graduation Celebration 🎓

A huge shoutout to everyone who graduated their Life Skills Class this weekend. You all did brilliantly and your dogs are fantastic 🐕🥳

Keep up the excellent work and keep having fun 🤩🐶

01/12/2024

I have an advent calendar for the countdown to the festive season, so it's only fair that Rusti has one too 🤣🎄

She has a sensitive stomach so we get to fill each day with things she's able to have and then we hide the calendar for her to search for and find. This means she gets the best of both worlds, a yummy treat and the opportunity to use her nose 🤩🐶

🎃 Happy Howl-o-ween 🎃

Halloween can be fun, but it can also be overwhelming for dogs. Here are our top five tips to keep them safe and help make the evening stress-free:

👻 Quiet Zone – Set up a cosy, quiet spot where your dog can retreat away from noise and visitors.

👻 Walk Before Dark – Aim for a walk earlier in the day to avoid the hustle of trick-or-treaters and costume surprises.

👻 Keep Treats Out of Reach – Chocolate and sweets can be harmful, so keep the goodies safely away from your dog.

👻 Watch out for Costumes – Costumes can be confusing for dogs, so keep things calm and avoid putting them into a situation that may scare them if they are likely to become worried or stressed.

👻 Use Management - use management to set you and your dog up for success and to help keep things safe for everyone, especially if your dog isn't confident with visitors to the house or you aren't taking part in Halloween.

Wishing you and your dogs a safe and spooktacular Halloween! 🐾🧡

🎇 How to help your dog during firework season 🎆

Following on from my post a couple of weeks ago regarding how to help prepare our puppies and dogs for firework season, I'm adding some tips and advice on how to help them now that firework season has arrived:

1) Make sure your dog has been walked and has been to the toilet before the fireworks begin and before it goes dark - if you are at all unsure or feel you will be going out too late, stay at home and play games or do some fun training/enrichment exercises with them instead.

2) My previous post included advice on building up and creating a safe space for your dog, so ensure their safe space is prepared and comfortable for them.

3) Allow your dog to hide from the noise if they want to - when our dogs are worried and trying to hide, it can be tempting to encourage them out of their hiding place to be with us. This can actually create more stress for them, so if your dog is choosing to hide (eg. under the table or in their safe space etc) allow them to do so.

4) Remain calm and provide reassurance - some people will say that you shouldn't reassure your dog when they are worried or scared because you will make the fear worse. Fear is an emotion and therefore, you cannot reinforce fear. When your dog is scared, please support them and provide reassurance but try to remain calm as you do so.

5) Stay at home and be their support - firework season is a scary time for a lot of dogs (and other animals), so please ensure that someone is around to be there for them. If you will be out, ask a trusted professional, friend or family member to help instead.

🐾⭐️ Take care of yourselves and your amazing dogs (and other animal family members) during this time and try to make it as safe and stress free as possible for all of you ⭐️🐾
