Canine Sense

A couple of days ago, we encountered a horse and its owner during our walk. After speaking with the owner, I realized that many dog owners still do not fully understand the dangers of not providing enough space for horses and the importance of keeping dogs on a short lead when meeting them. She shared stories about dogs walking too close behind her horse’s hind legs and off-lead dogs rushing up to her. A kick from a horse can be fatal to a dog, and dogs chasing or biting horses is both unacceptable and dangerous for all involved. For everyone’s safety, it’s crucial to remember that dogs are natural predators. Even well-behaved dogs can pose a risk. ‼️It is essential to keep dogs on a short lead and allow horses to pass safely.‼️ Let’s be responsible and ensure the safety of both animals and humans. #dogsafety #horseawareness #petresponsibility #keepdogsonleash #safetyfirst #animalsafety #responsiblepetownership #horseanddog #dogowners #horseowners #petsafety #EquestrianSafety #dogtraining #dogbehaviourist

No recall around distractions… 💥 Nash is a young dog who has spent the last few months mainly on a lead because he was eager to approach any dog he saw. While he is friendly, this behaviour can be risky, as other dogs may find it rude when Nash rushes toward them, and we can never predict how an interaction will unfold. Moreover, keeping a dog on a lead makes it much more challenging to fulfill their needs. Nash’s owner was eager to provide him with the freedom and stimulation he craved, all while maintaining control! So we showed Nash that there are also boundaries when off-lead... And here we go… he needed this! 👊🧡 #dogrecall #dogtraining #labradoodle #dogbehaviourist #dogpark #dogcommunity #dogwalk #dogobedience #dogbehaviour #dogloversuk #dogs #caninesense

Always plenty of distractions around in the forest and on our usual walks. 🐕🌳🏃🦌Supporting our dog and giving clear feedback is vital in these environments. Here we practised some focus work with Ember after 45 min of walking. You can tell she is tired but sometimes it is these moments where the extra push brings even more rewards next time. 👊 #rottweiler #trainyourdog #dogtraining #caninesense #distractions #motivation #dogs #focus #doglife #dogwalk #dogfocus #dogworking #dogpsychology

Harnesses are great tools but they need to fit properly and respect the dog’s physique! Too many times I see dogs walking down the road, even older dogs who clearly are suffering from arthritis, with harnesses that restrict movement and I can see the discomfort those dogs are in that often times I actually stop my car and educate the owners who are always very grateful for the advice. There is no such thing as an anti-pull harness unless it inflicts discomfort and alters a dog’s gait. I hope you find this video useful and share it so we can educate and help more owners to always do the best by their dogs. 🐕 💪 #dogharness #dogcomfort #dogowners #dogarthritis #dogmovement #antipullharness #dogphysio #rottweiler #dogtrainer #educatingowners #dogs #dogpuller #dogpulling #dogequipment #caninesense #dogbehaviourist #dogtraining

Search work is something most dog breeds absolutely love. Instead of searching for food, we often use toys, sticks and other items. Some dogs are much more driven for those, but I mainly like it better because of the connection that sparks between handler and dog. 🌟🐕 #searchdog #searchwork #dogsearching #dogtoys #dogstick #searchdogs #rottie #rottweiler #caninesense #dogs #dogtraining #dogjoy #dogtrainer #dogconnection #rescuedog #cockerpoo #poodlemix

It’s the little things in dog training that can make all the difference. What’s your experience? Do you practise similar to us before letting your canine out of the car? #dogtraining #dogcar #rottweilertraining #rottweiler #dogs #canine #littlethings #dogbehaviourtraining #dogtraininguk #dogtrainingpaysoff #dogtrainingadvice #doglife

No more needs to be said! Every dog needs to know crate training as you never know if you might need it one day… #cratetraining #dog #dogs #pettraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #caninesense #rottweiler #rottie #crate #dogcrate #dogskills #vet #dogvet #doglife

Just to give you some more ideas in case you also have a dog who is just recovering from surgery or who is maybe a little older and doesn’t require as much exercise anymore💡 I love to give my dogs a variety of environments to explore and it has been especially helpful since Breeze had both her rear legs operated! ❤️‍🩹
