The importance of the ‘thinking gap’… 🤔

When you are teaching a dog a new skill and have progressed through the luring and hand signal stages to the naming bit, it’s really vital after the first few reps to give your dog the opportunity to show you if they’ve made the connection between the word and the action yet, in what I call the thinking gap.

A few seconds is what we’d normally suggest but with Seren I could see the cogs still going around and she has been close to doing the verbal all weekend so I thought I’d give it a bit longer. 30 seconds later and BINGO!

In the second video (and the next attempt just a few seconds later) that thinking time was down to about 10 seconds and by clip three it was almost instant. That was 3 consecutive attempts and I stopped at this point to let the ‘good one’ sink in. Don’t wanna overdo it and end on a rubbish attempt.

Have you explored the thinking gap?

I was trying to get a picture of him doing ‘tic tac’ on the board at F4P, but it was a bit hard single handedly 😂

If you enjoy taking your dog to a secure field for some worry, free exercise, then you might be excited to hear that there’s a new field opening this week! 😁🐕

Designed by a very experienced dog trainer, it is set up for everything your dog needs for a fun and safe time off lead if they have a poor recall, or get too distracted by the outside environment. There are lots of activities to do and plenty of space to run around and a shelter so you can get out the rain!

You can also book sessions with the dog trainer if you want to do some more focused activities there.

Places are booking up quickly, so grab yours now and enjoy this new field!

Genius! 😂

I think Lena would wear her 80's Lycra ready for a game 🎾 while Zen would be in her PJs! 🛌

What would your dog choose?? 👚👔👗

A bit of fun, but there is a lot of truth in this…

BEFORE YOU BUY A PUPPY PLEASE TAKE THIS TEST!!
Best taken in the autumn or mid winter.
1. Buy a lead and tie it to a big stone, carry it to the park and put it next to a lamppost. Wait 20 mins then carry it home.
2. Get up at 5am, go out in the pouring rain and walk up and down a muddy path, repeating good girl/boy, wee wees...poo poos, quickly please.
3. Stuff your pockets with plastic bags and pick up all the poo you can find, obviously not your dogs as you have not bought it yet
4. Start wearing your shoes indoors, especially during muddy times
5. Collect leaves off the ground and spread them on the floor
6. Carry sticks and branches indoors and chop them up on your carpet
7. Pour cold apple juice on the rug and floor....walk barefooted over it in the dark
8. Drop some chocolate pudding on your carpet in the morning and then try to clean it in the evening
9. Wear socks to which you have made holes using a blender
10. Jump out of your favourite chair just before the movie ends and run to open back door
11. Cover all your best clothes with dog hair, dark clothes with blond hairs and light clothes with dark hairs
12. Tip all just ironed clothes on the floor and sprinkle liberally with slime
13. Make little pin holes in all your furniture,
especially chair and table legs
14. When doing dishes, splash water all over the place and don't wipe it.
15. Spread toilet paper all over the house when you leave the house and tidy up when you get back home
16. Forget any impulse holidays and/or breaks
17. Always go home straight after work or school
18. Go walkies no matter what the weather, and inspect every dirty paper, chewing gum and dead fly you might find
19. Wake up at 3am. Place a correct size bag of flour on top of yourself and try to sleep, whilst wiping your face with a dishcloth, which you have left next your bed in a bowl last week.

If you can do these for 6 months then CONGRATULATIONS, you might be ready to get your puppy!
