The Dog House By Ingrid, 15 Rue Pierre Notting, Luxembourg (2025)

17/03/2025

I love the connection, the bond, and the joy I have with my dog, Umbra, a two-year-old labrador female.

Building strong foundations before we start expecting our dogs to know what to do when a whole host of emotions are involved can be the difference between failure and progress.

It is essential to start with the basics and foundations for you and your dog and not rush from A to E! By going from A-B-C-D-E, you can set up your dog for success and build up joy, connection, and stamina. There is no need to rush it and set up your dog for failure by making it too difficult for your dog.

Would you send your child to University without first allowing them to build solid learning foundations? I don’t think so, as then we would just be setting them up to fail, and there are so many things they need to learn first. Our dogs are no different.

You and your dog are both learners, just at different stages of learning. My job as a trainer is to bridge that gap and get you both working as a team. Aside from countless other practical reasons why we must start with good foundations, this aspect is the most rewarding for everyone involved.

Behaviour is very complex, but good training is not or doesn’t have to be. We can’t expect to build more complex behaviour or tackle more advanced training without first building solid training foundations. If we do that, it makes all the other stuff much easier. Set a goal and semi-goals, and have a plan for achieving that specific goal.

Play with them, figure out what makes them tick, and teach them that learning with you is pretty cool and an everyday party.

Meet Siggy, a six-month-old cavalier puppy who is choosing us for boarding as it is a home-from-home 😊
The guests live with us in our home and are looked after in the best possible way: supervised 24/7, no crates or separated from us in another room.
I dare to say Siggy is living like the prince he is with us😊

SILVER PAWS SERIES
Part One

“Growing Old[er] is mandatory, growing up is optional”. Carroll Bryant

In some more medical circles, it has become popular to discuss the “success” of an aging individual.
I m not sure I m on board with terms like “successful ager” as to me it somehow implies failure by the individual who isn’t.

As our pets age we can consider three categories:
- limited / mild physical (including sensory) and cognitive change

- increasing physical OR cognitive change

- increasing physical AND cognitive change

Over this series we ll consider what these may look like in our pets, predominantly dogs and cats.

“Age is but a number” as reportedly said by Joan Collins.

When are our pets considered to be “aged” or “senior” or even “geriatric” (as someone who was labelled a “geriatric mother” when I was pregnant at 40, don’t get me started on the impact of age labels!) ?

This is complicated and something we ll explore more in the series.
As an overly simplistic “rule of thumb” we often consider cats over the age of 10 to be “senior” (affected in part by breed) and dogs, well, in the main, the larger they are, the earlier they are aged/ senior. So a small breed dog like a Jack Russell terrier might not be considered senior until they are 12 or over, however a large breed dog such as Labrador may be considered aged from 8 years. A giant breed (over 45kg as an adult) perhaps from 5 or 6 years of age.

To be honest it’s complicated and we see that in humans too.
I prefer to look at the individual in front of me. To consider their health, their physical comfort or limitations (including sensory changes /abilities) and their cognitive and emotional states as well.

As we age, even from juvenile years into adulthood, our bodies change.
The older we get, the more likely physical including sensory changes away from the “norm” become, alongside cognitive and emotional change too.
It can be for the individual’s “better” and it can be a limitation or even potential source of suffering to that individual.

So first things first, health matters.

This is why regular check ups can be so valuable (whether with vets and/ or physios and/or other trained paraprofessionals)

This “tool kit” produced by BSAVA is a good starting point.
We ll be discussing all sorts of resources within the series.

Feel free to share your interests for information in the comments 😊

One spot left

Teenager class
Intensive course over three weeks.

Planned dates:
Sundays 13.00-14.00
30 June, 7 & 14 July
Wednesdays 19.00-20.00
3, 10, 17 July

Has your cute youngster suddenly turned into a teenager who doesn’t listen?
Instead, he runs around like a lunatic and does not listen to you.
The lovely puppy that followed you everywhere has started exploring the world on his own, pulling on the leash, barking, maybe lunging at others or is not coming when you call?

All dogs go through an adolescent phase shortly after puppyhood. It can last until the age of 18 months, up to two years old, at which point they are usually considered a full-fledged adult. This is all part of your dog growing into an adult.
A lot is happening physically and mentally for your dog, but it can be hard to handle.
During this refresher training course, we practice everyday obedience through play, contact and communication.

You will work on focus, leash walking, impulse control, the important recall and staying calm and attentive to you around other dogs. Then, we bring the training back to basics and find that specific reward(s) your teenager thinks is worth working for.
As always, we use positive reinforcement in the training, reward and focus on the behaviour we wish to have.

This course aims to guide your teenage dog so they can focus around distractions and become lovely obedient dogs.

Maximum six dogs with one handler each in the class.

Course fee €225, which includes six one-hour lessons.

Sign up by emailing [email protected] with your contact details, your dog’s age, whether entire, neutered or when your female has been in season.
