Look I'm gonna share this because I think its really 'key' to build confidence, resilience and teamwork and this team is doing such a good job!
Do these dogs look comfortable ALL the time. Absolutely not! They struggle a touch in places and it that recoverable challenge (emphasis on RECOVERABLE) that builds resilience!
Wouldnt it be cool to build this in NZ !?
Who would come and visit?

Weaves and boops! Independent weaving for a big big big reward. The unpredictable ball drop! Lovely! ;) who needs food!

It’s still a work in progress. Definitely there are times when arousal peaks too high and she loses the plot but this ‘lie down’ behaviour is useful. It grounds her so I can get her if it’s all getting too crazy. It suits her breed tendencies as it’s part of the innate traits used to be a part of herding behaviour. It can definitely be proofed about 1000% better than this but it’s a good start.

Relationship goes a long way!
This little guy is one of by favourite little characters but we haven't seen much of each other lately. When he desperately needed a groom I said I'd try but wasn't promising anything.
You see, he can be, shall we say, opinionated in many respects.
If it wasn't for relationship, a bit of compromise and dare I say it, payment (small chunks of chunky) I wouldn't have had a hope in hell of getting the knots off this guy. Its not a fancy groom but he's comfortable and clean.
He agreed (non verbally) that he'd get on the table on his own (if I could set him up a way to do that...I could. He jumped via a chair onto the table) and in return he'd tolerate a trim after the indignity of a bath.
I was allowed a few 'pick ups' but my quota ran out after bath time... apparently.

What do you compromise or agree to with your dog?

What do you think/feel about dogs leaning out of car windows whilst travelling?
How might it effect you on a dog walk as they fly by?

You’ll learn:
🐾 How to gently reintroduce noise in a positive way
🐾 How to create safety cues and calm routines

A prolonged a repetitive pattern can capture and infiltrate a dogs attention even in distractions. It’s also useful for long legged heading dogs that cover a lot of ground very quickly. I love that tallulah checks that Sadie is coming before completing the recall!

Avoid these 3 common mistakes to help your new puppy thrive!

1. Wait too long to start socialization!
Theres a key sensitive period of socialization. Despite vaccination schedules we need to provide socialisation in a safe way for our pups early. Between 8-16 weeks our pups brains are like sponges, easily taking in and processing information.
2. Underestimate how many people pups need to experience for generalisation. If you aren't having your pup see, meet or hang out by around 25 people a week, you need to question whether you're covering (people with beards, glasses, motorcycle helmeted people, kids, strollers, tall and short people, etc)
3. Getting too pushy! Socialising isnt about pushing your dog into multiple situations or meeting every other person or dog you see. Its about allowing them to process and habituate to new things in a way they can cope with. Most socialisation is about providing the exposure without forcing it on your pup!

Specially supervised and structure puppy preschoool classes can provide valuable information and opportunity to socialise and learn about building valuable foundations that will set your puppy up for life!

What is your dog's least and most favourite noise?

Recall in a group can be slightly different to having just one dog. There’s a bit more of a competitive element at play often and the dogs learn to listen for their names keeping them a bit more tuned in!

Whilst others are cuddling scared pets I’m playing and tallulah is lapping it up. Play can be so powerful! We’ve been working in play and tug to build confidence for a while. I had no idea what to expect when the bangs begun but Tallulah has surpassed my expectations and is her normal annoying self! Hahaha
