At first glance, the idea of “play all day” at doggy daycare might sound perfect for your pup or weird stuctures of paper ripping games and nap time...is this really building the skills your dog needs? 🤔

Quality socialization isn’t just about letting dogs run wild or adding weird games in that look for a photo; it’s about teaching them to be calm, respectful, and responsive in real-life situations. With trained guidance, your dog learns to:

Self-Calm: So they’re not overstimulated or anxious at home.

Stay Neutral: Being able to ignore other dogs on walks or in public places.

Read Canine Signals: Knowing when another dog wants to play versus when it needs space, which leads to safe, respectful interactions.

When knowledgeable trainers work with your dog, they aren’t just “watching.” They’re actively shaping behavior to help your dog learn valuable skills for the real world. So rather than hyping them up, we’re thinking about how to make your life easier too—turning socialization into lifelong behavior improvements.

Because we want a dog who fits seamlessly into your life, not just one who burns energy at daycare, creating fizzing Yoyo at home.

We want to share a heartfelt reminder to keep your dogs safe and close. Tragically, a beloved pup passed away after ingesting something toxic in a public park im sure many of us frequent with our pups!

We dont know the family or the details, but felt it important to share with you all!

Our deepest condolences go out to the family during this incredibly difficult time. Let’s all be extra vigilant to keep our furry companions safe 💔.

Sometimes it can be impossible to stop our dogs scoffing gross things, dead things, random food scraps when their hidden in the grass. But what we can to in a bid to aid prevention. Work hard at your a solid recall, reliable 'leave it' commands, and maintaining control both on and off-leash to protect our dogs from harm.

⚠️‼️ VICTOR EAVES PARK ‼️⚠️
If you are exercising your dog in the park we recommend you keep him/her on a lead as a precaution. We have had a devastating case of a dog passing away from suspected toxin ingestion. Yesterday she was seen snuffling at/eating something in the park, and this seems the likely cause. We would rather be over cautious than risk another tragedy 😭
**Signs to look for: lethargy, off food, vomiting**

Fear reactive dog? Full videos up on our YouTube. Unpacking reactivity can be challenging, far from straightforward, especially for a busy dog owner just trying to do right by exercising their dog. Patience, time, and finding the right environment are crucial, especially when dealing with fear reactivity. It's essential to strike a balance—exposure that neither overwhelms your dog nor fails to challenge them enough to make progress. The type if exposure, environment, and timing of communication significantly impact whether your fear-reactive dog improves or worsens. It's frustrating when oblivious humans approach with rapid pace and strange "doggy talk" noises, arm out reaching towards your dogs face... We understand the unpredictability of walks in an imperfect world. Enter our 2-week training camp – where every repetition is perfected, every second of your dog's stay matters. Because it's what we do round the clock, we eliminate the unknown to make progress easy and seamless, removing the frustrating parts so you. #gooddogtrainingnz #gooddogs #dogtrainer #dogbehaviour #dogtrainer

Addressing deeply ingrained behaviors, particularly in a rescue case like Frank, demands a meticulous approach. Frank, a poodle with a history of biting incidents, exhibits an involuntary behavior: barking at people when they exit through any doorway. This behavior has become so ingrained over the years that it resembles a reflex, akin to habits formed by smokers, such as lighting up when having a coffee or at the strike of 10 am. Like these habits, Frank's behavior has transformed into an instinctual pattern. Dealing with behaviors of this nature requires a thorough unpacking and careful, consistent adjustments over an extended period. It's comparable to rewiring a habit, demanding patience and unwavering consistency. For instance, even on days when we're rushing out the door due to work commitments, allowing the behavior to persist without addressing it sets back the training progress significantly. When tackling deeply ingrained behavior, commitment is key. There's no quick fix; genuine transformation necessitates a 100% commitment. There will be days when drills seem inconvenient or time-consuming, but to evoke change, one must fully commit. Recognizing those moments where the behavior would typically be ignored is crucial. In these instances, shift into training mode, acknowledging that each effort contributes to the long-term success of the rehabilitation process. #gooddog #dogbehavior #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips
