The most magical part about engagement games? They don’t just help your dog’s behavior while out on a walk, but at home too. Engagement training really just improves your relationship with your dog overall and makes it deeper, stronger and more complete. Once your dog chooses to engage with you over distractions out in the world, they will behave better at home too, because they’ve realized that you, their human, are the most fun to hang out with—even over other dogs, prey, or new people. And of course, there’s nothing cooler than being your dog’s favorite.🐾🐶🦮 #PooleDogs #DorsetDogs #DogTraining #LovingLeadership #DogsUK #DogTraining #CanineTraining #CanineBehaviour #BondWithDog #EngagementExercises #Encouragement #Direction

In essence, the distinction between a dog that pulls and a dog that walks calmly at heel comes down to their understanding of rewards.🏅The dog that pulls believes that pulling will get them to their desired destination faster, such as the park. Conversely, the dog that walks obediently at heel recognizes that pulling is ineffective and that following commands and listening to their owner is what earns them the trip to the park. 🏞️🌳🌲🪵 #PullingOnTheLead #ObedienceTraining #Expectation #Reward #TripToThePark #LeadTraining #Heel #LooseLeadWalking #BehaviourModification #BulldogMoment #Success #OneSession #OneToOne #PrivateTraining #DogTrainerUK #InTraining #DogInTraining #TrainingMode #ForestTraining #AdventureWalk #DailyDoggo

⬇️ #Leadership is often a misunderstood concept. Leadership does not mean "#dominance" or "#alpha". 🔸Leadership is having the mental and emotional strength to show your dog how to behave. To show him what is expected of him. And to see him for who he is, a dog, who wants to be recognized as a dog. Many dog owners insist that their dog's be humanized. To be treated as "fur babies" who should be showered with treats and affection. This can cause a huge amount of stress and confusion for your dog. #Dogs are pack animals. They thrive on rules and #boundaries. When that isn't provided, dogs can become fearful, reactive and exhibit bad manners which can eventually turn to #aggression. 🐾 Dogs just aren't equipped to live in our crazy human world. It's up to us to lead the way and teach them how to be #calm and #confident. #DogTraining #BalancedDogTraining #Bond

🔸Your dog is not giving you a hard time, your dog is having a hard time. Reactive dogs are not necessarily aggressive dogs, but reactivity can turn into aggression, so your attention to training becomes extremely important. ❗️

🌹🔸 Here are some fascinating facts about Dog Mums and their pups : 🔸🌹 1. Humans carry their young for 9 months but dogs have a much shorter gestation period of an average of 65 days. 🐾 2. Dogs can only become pregnant when they are in “heat”, which generally happens twice a year. 🐶 3. Newborn puppies cannot smell, see or hear! The first sense they use is touch, which is why it is so important for pups to stay near their mum. 🍼 4. You may see Mumma dog start nursing her puppies while she is still in labour. Even if she’s still mid-way through delivering her litter, she’ll already be nursing and caring for her newborns. 🧡 5. The size of a litter depends on the breed, mum’s age and other factors. The largest ever recorded litter was 24 Mastiff puppies in 2005. 😲 6. During their first week, newborn pups spend about 90% of their time sleeping and 10% eating. Not too dissimilar to newborn humans who follow a similar pattern. 🤱 7. 24 hours before labour, pregnant female dogs become restless and may start shredding paper or blankets. It’s unclear whether this shredding is a nesting instinct or just a reaction to discomfort. 🚺 8. Just like humans, some dogs can experience Postnatal Depression. This can show itself in them sleeping excessively, showing no interest in their puppies and a loss of appetite. 😔 9. ​​Puppies start to move from milk to solid food at around 3 – 4 weeks. Not long after, they will eat a completely solid diet and won’t need mum’s milk anymore! 🥩 10. ​​During the first 16 weeks of their life, Mum will help support, protect and guide her puppies as they’re at their most vulnerable and impressionable. From then onwards, their role instinctively encourages self-reliance & independence. 🦴 HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY 🌹🧡🐶🐾

⬇️🔸 Dogs are traditionally walked on the left precisely because it is not your dominant side. Most dog breeds were developed to work with humans. For example, to heel on the left while the hunter had a gun in his right hand, or to heel on the left while the shepherd had a crook in his right hand. #heel #command #dogtraining #frenchbulldog

📌 HOW TO PUT ON A SLIP LEAD 📌 🔸The neck of a dog can be divided into three sections: the base near the shoulders, the middle across the trachea, and the top at the base of the skull and behind the ears. The key to effectively using a slip leash lies in the positioning. 🔸When the leash is attached to the base of the neck, it encourages pulling as the dog strains against the lead. Corrections or pressure applied in this area are felt in the shoulders and chest, triggering the dog's instinct to pull with more leverage than you have. This can result in a futile tug of war. 🔸Using the middle of the neck for corrections can be harmful to the dog, as their neck is similar to ours. Tugging on the leash in this area puts pressure on the windpipe, potentially causing injury or, in extreme cases, crushing the windpipe. Preventable emergencies at the vet are something we all want to avoid. 🔸Therefore, the ideal position for a slip leash is at the top of the neck, near the base of the skull and behind the ears. This allows for effective communication without risking harm to the dog, and they won't feel the instinctive urge to pull against any pressure they may feel. #LeashTraining #SlipLead #DogTraining #DogTips
