He did it!!! @mrgrumblefloof finally had an annual health check and vaccinations where the vet was able to examine him properly, and give the vaccine without ANY grumbles and no muzzle!! We’ve worked so hard to help Spock control his meerkat around being touched and handled, especially at the vet’s. We’ve done this using primarily CU principles like down for the count, start/stop buttons, 1,2,3 game and many more!If you’re curious join us live tonight for the Control The Meerkat’s summer of meerkats! Tonight at 7.30pm BST, as we chat all about controlling those alert meerkats using simple techniques that work!!

This is what happens when your dogs are confident to call you out when you make a mistake. They don’t fear punishment, but they’re training using two way ‘conversations’. He did the behaviour, I missed it and he had his mini hissy fit. At the time I didn’t know why so gave him a moment to express himself and we started again.It was only after watching the video I saw what he saw, he saw my mistake, I didn’t follow the pattern he was expecting and he called me out in his own funny way.Remember to be patient with your dogs when training, if they do something you weren’t expecting it’s rarely because they’re wrong, most likely an error in our communication. 🤷🏼♀️ Good trainers learn from errors, we don’t punish the dogs for our mistakes, they deserve better 💕#dogtraining #patterngames #funnydogs #keepingitreal

Yes you can help ‘aggressive’ dogs with kindness, connection and rewards. Rehabilitation is about teaching these dogs coping srategies and helping them make good decisions! You never have ti shock, intimidate or hurt or dogs to help them. We can show you how !

Part 2 | Green Flag Dog Training This is what reactive dog rehabilitation looks like! Dog Communication awesome work! If a dog is reacting in your training session m, the trainer has pushed them too far. Rehabilitation is all about teaching coping skills to the dogs and helping them to regulate their emotions, not supress them. Once they can do this, they can learn and grown 💕#greenflagdogtraining #mrgrumblefloof #reactivedogrehabilitation #reactivedogawareness #reactivedogtraining #reactivedog #dogtraining
