Hi welcome to m h dog training
my name is Mark, my training ethos is based on lots of positive rein
(10)
Another adolescent this time Spud and his owner working on some impulse control around distractions he is a great character and adolescence can be a struggle at times But with some consistency and understanding from the human end of the lead we can help our dogs navigate their way to adulthood
Adolescent GSP Balin working nicely with his owner on a 5 meter line he is a lovely dog a little over exuberant at times and can have some big reactions around other dogs which we are working on just love watching him move so elegant
The beautiful Meg is 3 years old and has had an awful start to her life thankfully she is now with a wonderful couple who have always had collies and are committed to rebuilding her trust and confidence in people.
She is understandably very timid and hesitant and is almost to afraid to try anything, we worked on some confidence building exercises and talked about giving her as much choice and agency around exploring the environment
Short update we have added two rugs on the floor for Rupert to stop on to give him a little more comfort to sit when his owner stops we had about at least a 50% increase in sits during the exercise compared to last week a small change to the environment to help the dog be successful isn’t mollycoddling him it’s helping him be more successful and with patience and understanding we will reduce the need for the rugs
Today we lowered our criteria we are ultimately looking for a sit from Rupert when we stop in doors he is spot on with it but when we took it outside he was struggling with other distractions so we are looking for stillness and eye contact in stead of the sit and low and behold we actually got 2 sits out of the 8 repetitions we did still a way to go to get Rupert and his owner where they want to be but a nice illustration of by sometimes asking for a little less from our dogs can give them the time and space to actually give us more
Eight month old Balin 1st time working on the engage disengage exercise we adjust our distance in order for him to be able to successfully listen to the marker YES and then at the end disengage from the distraction (person at the bus stop) a nice example of utilising everyday scenarios as learning experiences for both dog and owner
Rupert working on eye contact we are looking for a little more engagement from him when we are outdoors
Young Spud working on keeping the lead loose outdoors with slightly more distractions
Rupert walking nicely with his owner well done 👏 👏
Reinforce the behaviours you like a short extract from me preparing my tuna training treats took me about 5 minutes Millie quietly in a down gets intermittently rewarded for this behaviour initially I fed her for a sit now it’s for a down I haven’t asked her for either of these behaviours just rewarded her. When she offered them and changed my criteria for the reward from sit to down over a period of time at any point Millie is free to get up out of the down and either leave the kitchen or move around it, I feel this is a nice simple example of utilising everyday interactions with our dogs as as a chance to train and offer our dogs some nice feedback for preferred behaviours
1st visit to see Balin working on slowing everything down around the lead and increasing the rate of reinforcement a great first session from everyone
Young Spud and his owner working on loose lead walking a nice session from both, just a couple of things for them to work on before our next session
Merry Christmas and a healthy new year to all my clients past and present and their wonderful dogs I look forwards to continuing to train with you utilising compassion and understanding to help our dogs navigate through the environment
Best wishes from Mark and Millie 🐶🎅
Norris progressing nicely from his 5 meter line on the left to his regular lead on the right and starting to move nicely together with his owner we even had a few check ins later in the session
Young Spud taking his recall into the garden
Snowy loose lead walking from the lovely Rupert and his owner they have work fantastically together on this and are starting to reap the benefits
Daisy’s owner working on rewarding daisy for proximity to her, the owner is currently being pulled along on her walks with Daisy 1st visit. To see them lots of work to do going forward but a nice start
Spud is 14weeks of loveableness such an engaged dog his owners have done a super job with him so far just a couple of things for us to work on with his walking and a little change to his toilet training
Rupert progressing nicely with his recall nice teamwork from dog and owner
1st attempt for young Bailey and his owner Working on rewarding for proximity to his owner
the first step in getting a better on lead walk
Millie and I working on her understanding that being on the platform gets her access to the rewards and that by remaining on it regardless of what I do again gets me to place some treats on the platform I usually use a mat for this exercise but it was to windy this was only the second time I have used the platform she really is a smart girl to clever for me at times that’s for sure 🤦♂️
A great session from Rupert and his owner lots of engagement, he is on a 5 meter line with lots of opportunities to investigate the environment but is happy to move with his owner a huge testament to the work they have both put in from my 1st visit 2 weeks ago
The wonderful Barney working on relaxing on his mat a great job today from both owners and dog we even had their youngest child eating in his high chair while this was filmed that is usually where Barney is scavenging for crumbs they are ready to add in some more duration and a variable reward pattern then we will look at adding some more low level distractions provided they continue to progress nicely and if at any point we progress to quickly we will take a step back and make things easier for Barney to succeed
Rupert the young alpine Dachsbracke working on his loose lead walking 1st visit today to see him what a joy to work with
Lovely Nel a really exuberant young XL bully cross she is a super dog lots of work on rewarding calmness required and as we don’t know if she will be required to be muzzled when legislation is introduced her owners are starting to work on getting her comfortable with wearing a muzzle it’s great to see responsible owners taking appropriate action early
Norris and his owner working on keeping the lead loose Norris can get very distracted around other dogs he saw 3 during this session and managed to continue working with his owner well done guys 👍🐶
