Yes my dog is not so keen on cats ๐ Well actually it is a pretty normal behaviour but it was getting to the point that Neli was reacting to cats on a daily basis as we live in an area where everyone has a cat ๐โโฌ ๐I really wanted to reduce her stress levels and mine too ๐
so I started working on changing her emotional response towards cats. It was very hard as she was reacting even when the cat was very far away. So every time we spotted a cat I fed Neli an amazing treats so she connected a cat with good stuff. In about 8 months of hard work and slow approach we managed to get really close to a cat as you can see on the video ๐๐๐So if you are working on changing any kind of behaviour take is slow and celebrate the little wins, it doesnโt have to be perfect ๐ฏ
Fun tricks workshop was so much fun ๐ Well do everyone that attended, you were amazing ๐๐

What is your favourite activity with your dog?
Me and my dog Neli loooove playing tug and here are reasons why:
* Play releases endorphins(feel good chemicals), so makes you and your dog happy
* Itโs fun
* Puppies develops their social skills
* Play satisfies certain elements of their predatory motor pattern
* Mental and physical outlet
* Positive association with you and environments you are playing in
Tips
* Keep arousal low
* Playing tug should be calm and controlled
* Yes, itโs ok to let them win ๐
So what are you waiting for? Grab your dogs favourite toy and have fun ๐๐ถ๐พ

Love teaching hand touch in my puppy classes.
๐โTouchโ is a great confidence-building exercise and can be used to help all dogs accept the approach of a human hand.
It can also be used as a recall cue or simply redirecting your puppy from chewing or biting.
