Playing Tug is a game that is so underrated. Owners have been misinformed to think that it will cause aggression in their dogs. This is an old myth that has been disproven over and over again. Tug is great for bonding with your dog, great for teaching impulse control, and super physical and mental exercise, and is a great tool for building reinforcement in behaviours when training. Once Roscoe possessed the toy he would keep it for himself. In this video, I played a game of tug to build that trust and diminish his suspicion that I am going to take the toy from him. He learns if he gives up the toy, he gets a toy and the game continues. We build on Roscoe choosing to bring me the toy to initiate a game of tug. All of which will contribute to him learning to play fetch, to come when called, to drop, improve focus and engagement with humans, the list goes on. So grab a tug toy and get playing πΎπ

When training loose lead, poeple can get so focused on the lead itself instead of the dog. The lead isn't what is training your dog to walk nicely, it is simply a tool used for managemant and safety. It is the human at the other end of the lead that is training the dog. Training in appropriate environments that set the dog up to succeed, along with rewarding them for engaging with you will naturally help improve the dogs loose lead skills. Loose lead doesnt mean walking in a perfect heal position or not allowing the dog to stop and sniff, loose lead is exactly what it says on the tin. So whether your dog walks next to you, in front of you or behind you, as long as they are not pulling, that is loose lead walking. And for your dogs benifit, let them sniff! πΎπ

Kumaraβs owners are very active people who love enjoying days out but were struggling to manage Kumara when out in new and busy places. They would love nothing more than have Kumara join them and relax in places like cafes and beer gardens. Kumara would get excited and distracted by certain triggers so we worked on improving her engagement with her owners, strengthen her impulse control and improve her skills to settle in these environments. Kumara and her owners did amazing is our last session and they now feel more confident when bringing her to new and busy places. Go team Kumara πΎπ.Wanna to be able to go more places with your pooch, get in touch at; [email protected].#kumara #italianspinone #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraininginstagram #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtrainingswords #dogtrainerswords #dogtrainingdublin #dogtrainerdublin #dogtrainingmalahide #dogtrainermalahide #dogtrainingportmarnock #dogtrainerportmarnock #dogtrainingdonabate #dogtrainerdonabate #dogtrainingfingal #fingaldogtraining #fingal #fingaldogs #peaceandpaws
Teaching dogs how to relax and settle is an important life skill that all dogs need to learn, in all types of situations and enviroments. And that is exactly what Roscoe and I and practising in this video, taking advantage of a barking dog passing by, which is a tough thing for Roscoe to ignore. Practising these exericses thoughout your walks will give them the skills to relax at home when youre busy, when guests come to visit, when you are out and about, when you're at a cafe enjoying some lunch, thats just naming a few sinarios where being relaxed and settled is important. So be sure to add this skill to your walks and everyday activities, to have a more relaxed and settled dog πΎπ

Boundaries and impulse control is very important for every dog to learn at any age. These important life skills can be learned in various ways, in various situations and environments. In this case with Roscoe, we are using his routine when I pick him up for his gallivants to practise he boundaries and impulse control with thresholds. Just because a door is open whether it be his crate, sitting room door or front door, doesn't mean he goes bursting though these thresholds. Practising this at every threshold allows us to get our repetitions in, teaches Roscoe to do this with every threshold he goes through not just one, and gives us the opportunity to progress on this at a pace realistic to Roscoes ability. Keep an eye out for more videos to see Roscoe progress on building these life skills πΎπ

This was Roz's biggest challenge yet and she did amazing. This park was a no go for Roz and her owners as it is very dog populated. Even on the windiest day, Roz continued to smash it in her training. Given Roz's history and her level of fear towards dogs, she may never be able to interact with another and you know what, that is okey! Roz's owners truely understand her needs and from the beginning made it clear to me that this was never their goal with her training. They just wanted her to be able to relax more out in the world and enjoy her walks and that is exactly what they have achieved. Since working with Roz and her family I continue to get updates on her progress, and to say she has thrived is an understatement. A massive well done to her family for their dedication in helping Roz and giving this sweet girl a truely loving and supportive home. Go team Roz πΎπ

Watching owners and their dogs learn, progress and thrive together is so amazing. From not being able to walk out the door to enjoying long walks together, Koba and his owners are absolutely smashing it. I am so proud of team Koba πΎπ

Roz continues to thrive throughout her training journey. Reactive dog training can be complex, there is no quick fix or magic wand. Dogs like Roz need to be understood and helped to gain confidence and not just be forced to bend to human expectations of how they should behave. Roz's owners understood this since the day they adopted her, making them successful in helping with so many struggles and continuing to succeed with her reactivity and beyond πΎπ

Don't just be a robotic arm when playing fetch, add more to your game! By adding Impulse control, releasing Bobby to retrieve to toy on cue and allowing him to possess the toy until I cue him to drop the toy, are all ways I satisfy his Labrador needs. Applying these to his game of fetch provides him an outlet to practise his gun dog skills in a fun and productive way πΎπ

On our Gallivants we do lots of practice of Roscoes training. We are focusing on his engagement with me (human at the other end of the leash), his loose leash skills, and giving plenty of reinforcement for making good choices to ignore the people walking behind and passing by us. Roscoe is a super confident and friendly pup so people and dogs are very exciting for him. Developing these skills early in life is very important as they are the foundations of all the life skills and training he learns. Best boy Roscoe πΎπ

If you're an owner who has a friendly dog, that's amazing. However, a lot dogs aren't comfortable with other dogs. For some it's scary, others maybe old/injured/unwell, they could be newly adopted and are still settling into their new life and surroundings or maybe they have been attacked by another dog in the past. The list goes on and on as to why dogs aren't friendly with other dogs.
If you're an owner who has a friendly dog, please understand and respect owners who don't. If they say no to your request for your dogs to say hi, respect their answer and kindly move on. If they ask you to call your dog away from theirs, kindly respect their wishes. If your dog has no recall, keep them on lead.
All owners and dogs have a right to enjoy a walk without the stress of being rushed up on by other dogs.

Koba putting his impulse control to practice. Koba loves visitors at the door, so establishing boundaryβs and routine was key. We started on our leash skills and building on his engagement with his owner as I was a big distraction for Koba, never mind what is outside the front door. Keep an eye out for part 2 to see how they progress πΎβπ»π

Rua was such a super girl! Learning her boundaries in her new home, how to control her impulses as this new life is just so full of joy and excitement and building more engemant and a bond with her owner. This little lady had a ruff start but is now thriving and loving life. her joy and zest is just infectious. I had so much fun working with Rua and her onwer, the laughs we had and watching them bond and learn together was amazing. It's what I love most as a dog trainer. Go team Rua πΎπ

Kobi is a lovable goof who wants to be friends with everyone. This caused her to pull, jump and get very excited with every person and at the sight of every dog, making it very difficult to walk her. It was even painful for a family member due to an injury and they hated that they couldn't walk her. Now both the owner and Kobi enjoy relaxing walks together and the whole family have strategies in place to help her be more focused on them and calm around other dogs. We also worked on a list of things, from politely greeting visitors, counter surfing, barking out the window, recall, and leash skills. Kobi was and star student and her whole family were so fun to work with. Go team Kobi πΎπ
