November Puppy Classes are here!
๐พNice wee leash life skills session with Billie Girl at home this past Sunday.๐พ
This pup definitely likes a good sniff and got into the habit by discovering that getting from from A to B when out on a walk is by a nice sled dog dive and drag.
We have been working a lot on understanding position from Billie, reinforcement and structure for walking over the last month.
Really nice to see this all come together especially when adding in the pram and making sure we still balance out nice leash skills with sniff time.
๐Good Job Billie and family, onwards and upwards๐
Rewarding with food can create excitement and behaviour such as snatching and jumping up to get the food.
Here's a couple of tips for owners, relevant for Puppies and dogs.

Creating a calm, positive experience for grooming our dogs (especially nails) isn't always the easiest.
Here is an example of how I built a positive experience with Ace.
It was not always the case, I accidentally cut his quick before which meant we had to start all over again.
We don't need to force our dogs to cooperate,even if it takes time.

Our dogs love to do natural doggy behaviour like chew, nibbling and ripping..
Often not what owners want to have damaged or destroyed.
Make sure to enrich your pup, prevent unwanted damage and teach them what is off limits!

๐พEnjoying my catch up with pups from the leash life skills course๐พ
Am happy to see how Missy is coming along with her leash skills and with ongoing work by her owners, walks are now more enjoyable with her being more aware and engaged when on lead.
As the teen period continues, distractions and boundaries will continue to be worked on and maintained.
She's a delightful little pup and deserves all the love she gets.
Nice work Team Missy ๐๐พ
Long may it continue and she is set up for success due to your dedication! ๐๐พ๐
๐พNext Leash Class Starts 4th August๐พ

Check out this lad's awesome recall....A bit too enthusiastic but reliable!
His mum's Smart Watch said she had a fall...Whoops๐
Hide and seek your dogs favourite toy and watch their nose go crazy!
Awesome enrichment for a rainy day.
Simply put your dog in a different room.
Walk about then hide the toy.
Let them in and encourage them to find the toy.
Start out with easy to find places!

Creating a positive association for wearing a cone makes life much easier when they may need to wear one from a vet visit!
One of the very important skills we teach at PupStart Puppy School!
