Beautiful black rope and brown leather slip leash by WatchDog Accessories for sale at the school.

Size: Long
Price: N$350

Slip leashes are exceptional for dog training because they provide both control and communication between the handler and the dog in a simple, effective design. Here are key reasons why they work so well:

1. Quick Adjustment: A slip leash tightens when the dog pulls and loosens when the dog responds correctly. This immediate feedback helps the dog understand the consequences of pulling or walking calmly.

2. Gentle Correction: Slip leashes allow for gentle corrections without the need for excessive force, as the pressure can be adjusted by the handler. This helps dogs learn more effectively with minimal stress.

3. No Need for Collars: The leash itself acts as both the collar and leash, making it a convenient option, especially for dogs that may slip out of a traditional collar.

4. Effective for Loose-Leash Walking: When used properly, slip leashes encourage loose-leash walking, helping to teach dogs to stay by their handler’s side without pulling.

5. Training Versatility: Slip leashes are often used in a variety of training environments, from basic obedience to agility, because of their flexibility in providing real-time communication with the dog.

However, they must be used with care, as improper use or too much force can cause discomfort. Proper training on how to use slip leashes is essential for effectiveness and safety.

How to Stimulate Your Injured Dog: Scatter Feeding! 🐾

Scatter feeding is an excellent way to mentally stimulate an injured dog without putting too much strain on their body. By spreading their food or treats over a large area, you encourage natural foraging behavior. This keeps your dog engaged and entertained as they sniff around to find each piece, which helps reduce boredom and stress during recovery. It’s a low-impact, enriching activity that also slows down their eating, promoting healthier digestion.

Did you know, we have numerous school options. Our most popular option is Primary School - Doggy Daycare with basic training/Primary School
Ideal for dogs of all ages, this program is designed for those needing obedience training and behavior modification. It includes a 20-minute intensive session focused on managing obsessive behaviors and teaching key commands. Dogs will also have the opportunity to play and socialize with other animals (as long as they’re not aggressive or reactive) from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, ensuring they burn off energy in a positive environment.

Did you know, one of the main reasons why dogs destroy objects, bark constantly and run out of the gate is because of a lack of exercise, stimulation, training and freedom!

Dearest Barker & Bone friends and community, one of our own needs a new home ♥️

Our sweet EZY’s family unfortunately will be relocating out of country and despite looking into all options Ezy can’t move with them.

Ezy is a much loved family pet and only child. She’s been with us at Doggy Daycare for over a year and she’s a WONDERFUL little girl. Her trainers and our B&B staff describe Ezy as playful, a social butterfly and happy go lucky!! Ezy is not reactive but can play rough sometimes, however she’s very aware and responsive to social cues 💛🐾

Ezy has completed Obedience training and Game Breaking at Barker & Bone. She’s house trained, medium energy, loves her walks, car trained and travels well and she LOVES toys, her favorites being balls and frisbees. She’s even tempered, doesn’t jump and a real love bug. She has excellent recall, she’s completed her off leash obedience training and she walks wonderfully on a loose leash. Ezy grew up with 2 young children so she’s great with kids and strangers.

Her best friends at Doggy Daycare is Alfie, Azula, Brandy, Macarena, Tjiuee and especially Loki 💙but she gets on with everyone.

Ezy is 1.5yrs and is sterilized, her vaccines and parasite treatment is fully up to date. She does require daily mobiflex for joint supplements due to an old fracture that’s fully healed.

Ezys family are devastated to leave her behind and we’re fully committed to help them and her find the BEST new home to ensure a smooth transition our Trainers are offering to help with introductions to a new family and their pets in the form of 3 at home consultations and evaluations free of our usual hourly charge.

If anyone is interested in giving Ezy a forever home, please contact Danielle at 081 751 4840

Let’s help one of our own♥️🙏🏻

🐾Owning a dog is so much more than just looking after. It’s about caring, supporting, understanding, loving, being there, nursing. You must be the mom, the doctor, the provider, the healer, the trainer, the lover and so much more!

🐶Experience the Ultimate Puppy Care at Barker & Bone’s Doggy School

Danielle, the passionate owner of Barker & Bone, has been thrilled to welcome an influx of adorable new puppies over the last month—some as young as 13 weeks old! To give these little furballs the best start in life, she has introduced a brand-new doggy school option: *Puppy Care*.

What is Puppy Care?

Puppy Care is designed exclusively for puppies aged 13 weeks to 6 months, focusing on the crucial developmental stage of your dog’s life. At Barker & Bone, we go beyond basic obedience training to offer a holistic approach to puppy development that sets the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior and a happy, healthy life.

What Puppy Care Entails:

1. Essential Obedience Training:

- Sit, Stay, Down, and Recall: Your puppy will master these fundamental commands, ensuring they are well-behaved both at home and in public.
- On-Leash and Off-Leash Walking:
We teach your puppy to walk confidently by your side, whether on a leash or off, making outdoor adventures a breeze.

2. Crate Training:
- We introduce your puppy to crate training in a way that’s comfortable and reassuring, helping them see the crate as their safe space.

3. Feeding Times & Napping Schedules:

- Establishing a routine is key. We’ll guide your puppy through regular feeding times paired with restful naps to promote healthy growth and development.

4. Play & Exercise:

- Puppies have boundless energy! Our program includes structured playtime and physical exercise to keep them engaged, fit, and happy.

5. Desensitization & Socialization:

- Early exposure to different sights, sounds, and environments is crucial. Our program ensures your puppy becomes well-adjusted and confident around various stimuli and in different social settings.

6. Basic Manners & Impulse Control:

- From not jumping on guests to waiting patiently for food, we instill good manners in your puppy that will make them a joy to be around.

7. Environmental Enrichment:

- Puppies are curious explorers. We introduce them to new experiences through sensory-rich environments, helping them develop mental sharpness and adaptability.

8. Confidence Building:

- We provide safe challenges that encourage your puppy to think independently, solve problems, and build self-assurance.

9. Bonding & Trust Exercises:

- Strengthen the bond with your puppy through exercises that build trust, ensuring a lifelong connection based on mutual respect and understanding.

Danielle’s Puppy Care program at Barker & Bone is more than just training—it’s about giving your puppy the tools they need to thrive. From establishing routines to social skills, we focus on nurturing every aspect of your puppy’s development, ensuring they grow into well-rounded, confident dogs.

This might seem like an easy, simple exercise, but let me tell you—this Husky came to me with serious issues: extreme leash pulling, bolting out of gates, and escaping from all kinds of places. By day three at Barker & Bone, I’m able to give him leash freedom, and wherever I go, he follows without me needing to call or command him. I have his full attention the entire time. This is exactly what Barker & Bone is all about—turning the "impossible" into reality. It’s truly amazing!

A very short snippet of doggo Blue’s achievements. We are proud!💙

🩷🐾This GSD puppy came to me as raw as they get—she couldn't even sit! Fast forward to just three days of training, and she’s already nailing sit, platz, and even started heel work (we’ll keep refining that). Plus, she’s socializing like a pro with other dogs. Luna is absolutely crushing it—what a star!

🩷🐾Meet Lilly-Beth, a sweet pup who's just beginning her journey at Barker & Bone. She's a 'green' dog, with little exposure to the world, and she's understandably scared and unsure. But with patience, care, and expert guidance, we're starting to earn her trust. Follow along as we transform Bethie into another Barker & Bone success story, and discover how we can help your dog thrive too!

The Barker & Bone doggy school dream🤍🐾

“Alpha Block” which is being used for ‘All Things Pet Dogs’ is being revamped and renovated to ensure an even better stay for your doggo children. Please note ALL boarding related services are on hold until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but cannot wait to share the end result🙏🏻🐾💛

Living the Barker & Bone dream🤍🐾💛

Mental stimulation with Ezy, who impresses us more each day. Ezy is food motivated, thus for her nose work, I threw ROAR Pet Food treats in the tyres for her to search. Proud of her progress! Mental stimulation is crucial for dogs as it helps prevent boredom, reduces anxiety, and promotes overall mental health, leading to a happier and more balanced pet.

💙🩷Saturday Distraction Training: Today, I tested Kahu and Lilly's obedience amidst various distractions. This training is crucial to ensure that your dog's obedience remains reliable in any situation, ensuring the safety of both the dog and those around them.

Doggo Tjiuee and I are mastering the ‘stay’ command! This crucial skill, especially challenging for dogs with impulse control issues, ensures you can maintain control in any situation—whether dangerous or uncertain—protecting both your dog and those around you.💙🐾
