Wise words that ring so true.
We are so often focused on what the dog is doing that we don’t want such as jumping up on us or barking that we don’t realise we are often actually reinforcing the very behaviour we wish to stop by rewarding it with perhaps attention. When the dog barks we tell the dog to stop or shout as well, what are we doing here? Joining in. Perhaps the dog is jumping up? We look at the dog and maybe push him or her off and possibly are telling the dog ‘no/off/down’ etc. What are we doing? Again rewarding the behaviour with our attention.
There are simple solutions that can change this behaviour but first we need to amend our own behaviour.
Need help in addressing this? Get in touch for more tips and advice.

Do you say this when your dog is running of leash in the park?
Well your dog might be friendly, over friendly even, but what if the other dog isn’t?
Can you recall your dog if you need to? Even if your dog is bigger than the one he is approaching if you can’t call him back it could be a disaster waiting to happen.
So if you haven’t got a solid recall go back to a safer option, use a long line with a harness so that you can prevent a confrontation if you need to.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Have your dog’s back, be the advocate that your dogs trusts you to be.
Be a responsible owner and let’s prevent dog attacks to others.

When walking your dog, it’s wisest to use a short but loose lead. A longer lead will mean that your dog will be further away from you and therefore you have less control. The more leash you give the further he will aim to be. When walking on the public streets it easier to manœuvre through people, obstructions, push chairs and of course other dogs. Please remember though, a short leash does NOT mean a tight leash. A tight leash will send the wrong message, “I am not confident about what I am doing or where we are going”.

When our puppy/dog does something we don’t really want, often times we reward the behaviour even negatively with attention like a simple no! The puppy then repeats the behaviour, a/he gets rewarded again by the no! The puppy does it again. It only takes 3 or 4 repetitions for a puppy or dog to learn that doing this gets your attention so now the unwanted behavior has been trained. It’s become learned behaviour/habit. Taking the attention away and teaching the dog to offer a different behaviour is the training. What is important is being able to do this in a gentle, humane and kind way. This is how dog training should be. You don’t need to shout to get what you desire. In the end love will always win.

Practicing sit, stay in a busy Kings Cross station!
Remember to set your dog up for success by increasing only one D at a time (Distance, Duration, Distraction) but also remember each new location means starting from the beginning!

A dog is a gift from god, so special this creation, he gave it his own name backwards. I felt the best way I could honour this is to help others to bring out the best in our dogs & ourselves by building the amazing bond that we humans often share with our dogs.

When you are training your dog you should look to make training a fun and bonding session with your dog. This will create a better relationship with you mr dog and you will find that your dog will respond more happily and readily, making the right choices. This is far more effective than simply ‘instructing’ or barking commands at your dog to do as you want rather than the dog learning to make the right decision because he wants to.

‘Find it!’ This is one of our favorite games to play both indoors and outside too. Here Tashi waits in his bed for the release cue, ‘Find it!’ Then he will go ‘hunting’ for the toy (in this case an empty clam) which he will bring back and usually give back to me in my hand. You can reward the find with a game of tug if you are using a tug toy or with a smile & praise and a good reward. This is a great game to play with dogs as it uses so many of their natural skills and instincts as well as really tiring them out. He is now sleeping!

Recall training using the rolling food method. Hold the kibble to your face to gain eye contact with your dog. As you roll the food look to the direction you are sending the food not your dog. As your dog picks up (his/her head will flip round as they pick ip the food) the food call his/her name. Then bring the next piece of kibble up with your other hand and roll away in the other direction. For the emergency stop simply change you lr hand gesture to straight up rather than left or right.

Basics that we sometimes overlook or don’t realise! Letting your puppy jump up might seem harmless but once fully grown can get into lots of trouble such as jumping up on small children or elderly people and knocking them over, jumping up on someone who is scared of dogs or even jumping up on people with muddy paws etc this is not going to win any friends! Scouting the park for other dogs to tire your dog out is setting yourself up for difficulties with recall but also lessens your bond with your dog especially if you have to rely on a bag of treats to recall your dog! A lump of chicken might not be the best incentive if the result is being leashes and dragged home spoiling the fun chase game! Walking your dog on a long lead in the street means the dog can go from side to side, across the front of you, behind you etc and worse still allows them to pull and lunge in front of you towards other dogs and people etc. Dogs should be fully controllable by your side. This is achievable on a loose but relatively short lead. A short lead does NOT mean TIGHT!

Teaching your dog to ‘fetch’ is not just a ball game in the park. It can be a useful life skill. Here I have just started teaching my dog to fetch me his bowl. He already brings me his lead, so with in reason you can teach a dog to bring you virtually anything.
