Even though Darcy is blind she still needs outlets to do doggy specific behaviours.
She loves a good game of tug, snuffling through the grass to find treats and learning new tricks!

Taco says; doggos need on average 18 hrs sleep a day 😴
I think she thinks it’s her camper.
Teaching a new cue should be fun for both human and canine.
Here I’ve started Dougie keeping the criteria very low and gradually building it up.
Actual time we spent on this was 7 minutes.
Going at your dogs pace and only raising criteria when they’re ready keeps motivation high and frustration at bay for both you and your dog.

Both of these dogs are reactive. The collie arrived here as foster 2 weeks ago.
Flaca is my gsd x. She has taught me everything I know about reactivity.
Reactivity doesn’t have to be forever and it certainly doesn’t need any correction, force or punishment.

It’s only a problem if you don’t like it.
“Begging” as it’s most commonly known only becomes a habit when it’s reinforced. And it doesn’t take much to reinforce it!
It can be as simple as food falling off the dinner table.
Flaca (GSD x) was so nervous when she came to me that she would make eye contact, so when she became braver and started nudging my hand to share my food I was obviously delighted.
Taco on the other hand would mug me for whatever I was eating. He would jump on me, paw and claw my hands to try and get the food. So we worked on that and now I have two fairly polite “beggars”, that I’m perfectly happy with. Why would I want to eat a full slice of toast?!
But, if sharing your food is something you don’t like to do. Stay consistent with only giving food for behaviours that you like! 🤩

Fostering helps a dog get out of a shelter even if it’s just for few weeks.
Not only does it help the dog but it helps the shelter with valuable information on how that particular dog copes in real world scenarios like:
Visitors coming to house
Going for walks in different environments
What their play style is like with other dogs
Do they like cats, kids, car rides
Can they be left alone
👉Get in touch with your local shelter today and inquire about fostering!
