✅Build forward movement in measurable steps - 1 step, then 2 steps, etc. until you get to five.
❣️This is a measurable unit of heel work = 5 paces.
❣️Keep sessions short so you make gradual but actual progress

What do you think we need for one-to-one training walks? 🤔
There’s always a few things we have on our person 👉 as well as some extras in our bag for any private training session we attend.
Often the things we bring along are items we suggest dog owners carry on walks too 🦮
Some (but not all) of those items are featured in this clip.
We’re interested in what you think is needed for one-to-one training 📲 maybe you’ll even have some suggestions we haven’t thought of.
What should be in a dog trainers go-bag ⬇️⬇️

🤔Just as you need to give your dog direction on how to physically and mentally exercise, you need to also teach them how to physically and mentally rest.
✅You need to train your dog to have an ‘off’ switch.
👉Teaching the ‘off switch’ is an important life skill for when you are occupied, so the dog can relax and watch the world go by (for example @starbucksireland!)
🐕At our group classes we work a lot at settling especially with high energy dogs
❓Does your dog have an On/Off switch?

❣️When we ask our dogs to stop doing something they are enjoying and recall to us it’s important that we reward them for returning so that they recall with enthusiasm every single time!
Rewards can be anything the dog finds rewarding:
👉Food
👉Play
👉Retrieves
👉Being released back to the environment
🔑The key is to identify the rewards that hold the greatest value in the dog’s mind and use it to build an elastic recall
🤨Do you always reward your dog for recalling?
Even when at home?
⚠️On the spot fine -
Dog not in effectual control - €300

🪄✨We always refer to the magical moments in training, and this week it was magical to see how quickly the dogs settled in class!
👉 But not only that….also how focused they were once training started.
❣️Often these moments go unnoticed, but should be recognised and remembered.
❤️Well done to all our @burnsbyyourside therapy reading dog teams

🤷🏻♀️Wondering why to teach your dog to perform a Down/Stay?
1️⃣Its a great impulse control exercise! It will be a lot harder for your dog to jump up on guests from a Down position. Asking them to Stay until they calm will allow your dog to be a polite greeter.
2️⃣We practice Down/Stays at meal times, while we are cooking, grabbing a coffee at our local spot, having a bbq or chatting to a neighbour.
3️⃣It provides the foundations for further relaxation and mat work.
👉Here we can see baby Thumper is working on a duration down stay in puppy class, being able to teach your puppy to settle in any environment is in an invaluable skill 🧡

⛑️Your dog and livestock, wildlife and horses is your responsibility to keep everyone safe.
👩🏻🏫Training your dog to be calm and to respond to you around livestock, wildlife and horses can make rural walks even more enjoyable and crucially safer for everyone.
🐕Most dogs naturally want to chase or investigate animals they have not encountered before.
😳Dogs may feel nervous, curious, excited, or very fearful, which can all create problems.
👩🏻⚖️Section 9 of The Control of Dogs Act 1986 outlines specific requirements regarding keeping dogs under effectual control
👉Section 9(2) states that the owner or any other person in charge of a dog that worries livestock is guilty of an offence
👉Prosecution under Section 9 of the Act allows for a fine of up to €2,500 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or both.
😱Separately, Section 21 of the Act states that the owner of a dog shall be liable for damages in a separate civil action.
⚠️Remember if it’s your dog it’s your responsibility.

🤷🏻♀️How useful is gun dog training is in ‘real life’ ?
💦Here Milo was enjoying the water in a field when an unknown much larger dog came running .
😱No fear, the minute his handler blew the recall whistle he turned around and came running averting any potential danger.
✅Get training with a whistle right and you’ll have a well behaved dog that knows how to react to key situations.
😙If your dog is already trained to a known voice cue you can switch quite quickly to the whistle by giving the whistle cue followed by the voice cue over a period of a few days, then gradually fading out the voice cue .
🧐I think you will find that it is well worth the bother of doing this, even with a pet dog!
❤️Have fun with your whistle training!
