Are your pups struggling with loud noises like thunder storms? ⛈️ I think we would be, too, if we didn't understand what was going on! Here's something I do with my two that goes a long way when it comes to getting them soothed and regulated again... Licki mats and a pouch of wet food is all you need! Delivering this combo to your dogs with each thunderclap can help them to associate a normally scary sound with something nice! Licking also encourages the release of endorphins, too! I keep close by whilst the Thunder is at it's loudest, then pop the tv or radio on to dampen the sound once it's a bit farther away. It works a treat with fireworks season coming up soon, as well...💥 ----- #riansdogtraining #dogsandfireworks #dogsandthunder #telforddogtrainer #dogtrainingtips

Remember Buffy❓ 🐶 She's back with us in Primary Group after completing Nursery Group some time ago. Buffy is a Batersea rescue. She was a young teenager, found as a stray. Loved people and other dogs, so much that she would scream and shout in pure excitement! Being on lead was hindering to her and she would quite literally roll her eyes if you asked anything of her. Her journey with me started with Nursery group. Sadly this was quite overwhelming for her as she struggled to eat food, she was very heavily distracted being around new people and dog friends and didn't have the attention span to focus on any tasks. We then set too and had a bundle of 1:1 sessions together. During which we built some solid foundations away from distractions. Gradually exposing distractions from a distance at a rate that Buffy could cope with without getting SO EXCITED. The last few months Buffy and her wonderful pawrent have been enjoying each others company and putting into place all the skills they learnt with me. You wouldn't believe the Buffy that has just attended Primary Group.. she completed the course with flying colours!! Engaged, able to eat food, solidly worked around the other dogs in the class... I found myself watching them work with my mouth open, in total awe! She's doing SO incredibly well and I'm so pleased to have this wonderful team back in group training classes. Huge well done to this fantastic team who have grafted and put so much work into their relationship. Long-term progress like this is one of the absolute best parts of my job. 🙏 Well done, Buffy - I can't wait to see you at Secondary Group in the New Year ! 🎉 ----- #dawleydogtraining #riansdogtraining #shropshiredogtraining #dogtrainingtelford #1on1dogtraining

Wilson waiting in reception for classes to start last week! 🙊 If training doesn't bring them this much joy, you're not doing it right. 😜 Being sent clips like this from Pawrents really makes my day! 🙌 Too cute not to share... 🥰 ----- #riansdogtraining #dogtrainingdawley #dogtrainingtelford #telforddogtrainer #dogtrainingreel #puppytrainingreel

Swimming with Bailey and Maverick! 🌊 Working on listening to their owner's cues and getting rewarded for it - with a proper good splash! This concept is what's known as the Premack Principle and it can work in so many different environments - and really, anything that your dog sees as a reward! 🏆 For example: - sniffing / weeing on a lampost - greeting another dog - running off to play over a large open space - access to go dig, play in water, roll on grass It's especially great for teenage dogs who start to find humans, treats and toys boring but have strong desire to sniff, urinate, socialise etc... Rewarding them with experiences is also a great way to enrich BOTH of your lives together, too! 🥰 ----- #shropshiredogtraining #riansdogtraining #premackprinciple #telforddogtraining #dogtrainingtelford
