To others it’s just a coffee , to us it’s an opportunity to practice what we preach. Neutrality is one the best gifts to give your dog. Calm and steady in public areas. Labrador

Yesterday we had the pleasure of going out to assist with little Holly a working cocker.
Unfortunately she was carrying out behaviours which were self rewarding so she continued to rehearse them. Wouldn’t settle , doing everything at her speed anxious in the family camper van and the list went on.
All we did was put rules in place for the owners. Simple rules which the dog understood. We incorporated a house lead to reduce the freedom to rehearse those behaviours which were unwanted. Just fair firm rules. Created some leadership nothing g out the ordinary gave the owner the process to follow.
Ultimately how you live and interact with your dog willl affect other behaviours going forward.
Here you see her chilled and asleep and Machrie our 12 month old Lab chilled in the same house while I chat with the owner about the process going forward

Today we had the pleasure of working with this little bundle of joy. A 12 week old border collie.
Putting all the foundations in place for its new owners, who want to start off in the right foot. Lots of game play to start with its journey. Play and obedience go together. He was absolutely knackered when we left.lots of stimulating play and he will be a star. Bright as a button.
A few weeks ago I posted we had been getting lots of requests from new puppy owners who ant to get it right. For me that’s great that owners want to get things right. Great day watching his little mind working it all out

Machrie will be 12 months old on the 15th he’s growing into a fine dog. Little Ubba 3 years old and will be 4 years old in April. Couldn’t have hoped for these two to turn out the way they have Machrie still a lot of work to do but the foundations are there.

Recently we have had a few enquiries for training for pups. It’s great that people are being responsible going forward. Time and time again I see people pushing pups on to soon. The first thing you should be doing is building a relationship with your pup. Don’t be to quick throwing leads and collars on. Instead build the foundations don’t go to busy parks and expect great recall when the training process has not been put in place. You wouldn’t expect to go to secondary school if you hadn’t been to primary or kindergarten or kindergarten. Take your time put the work building relationships.

Merry Xmas from us here at K9 Psychology

I share this video as Gary nails it in every way here. Myself and him speak often about the day to day issues we are dealing with. It is frustrating and it is sadens us. For me , him and many others like us when we are seeing these great dogs and others being failed. Over the last few weeks I with another trainer have had to seek homes for spaniels and labs. Owners who are ill equipped to deal with them. Or owners who are unwilling to put structure and rules in place for the sake of appeasing the masses. Day after day we are seeing the poor advise given to people. I was very honoured to be in the presence of another good trainer who is dealing with similar issues. A power breed who was biting the arms of the owner. They were advised by two previous trainers to turn their back or ignore it. Instead of correction the dog for being an absolute ass a behaviour which if not stopped will continue to get worse and to the detriment of the dog possibly being put to sleep and for what for not saying you can’t do that and it stops now. I’m getting tired of not only seeing these breeds we have but many other pet dogs being failed.
People often comment about my dogs and Gary’s dogs and their behaviour being great. They say we are so lucky, there is no luck we can’t be lucky 5 times his 3 and my 2.
It takes bloody hard work and putting that work in takes time and effort. Our relationship is not been ruined because we put firm rules and discipline in place in fact it’s stronger. The dogs have leadership they have structure and if they step out of line there is a negative consequence. Through that leadership we both have great dogs.so please for the sake of you and your dogs and others like you please let’s give these dogs the life they deserve.

“ TREAT THEM LIKE A DOG”

If you don’t they will treat you like a dog.

The quote you see before you was one made by a friend who spoke their mind and was a great trainer and mentor to many other trainers. He passed away but what sticks with me is this quote. I’ve recently worked with a few dogs and had to assist in rehoming other dogs. For me this quote hits the nail on the head. In my opinion respect the dog by treating it like a dog because if you don’t the dog will treat you like a dog.

Great to meet Pamela down at Impackt Behaviour today. Pamela deals with a lot of aggression cases using her own trained dogs. We will be seeing Pamela up in Scotland possibly around Easter next year so watch this space and follow Impackt Behaviour's page if you like the sound of what she does......and Evil Edna is definitely not Evil....slightly annoyed maybe. Fiona's shepherd couldn't quite figure out what she was 🤣🤣🤣
