“My dog doesn’t bite, it doesn’t need a muzzle.”
Think again. 👀
Muzzle training isn’t just for dogs with bite risk—think of it as a seatbelt for #safety. It’s a safety tool for emergencies, training, and giving your dog space when needed. Plus, it makes a great mental exercise game you can play indoors.
When your dog is properly conditioned to wear a muzzle, it brings relief, not discomfort or stress—even in tough situations.

From plastic bags to motorbikes, some dogs—especially puppies—can be easily startled. Even confident dogs may hit a ‘fear’ phase, but don’t worry! Here's how you can guide them through it:
1️⃣ Manage the distance: Keep triggers far enough away for your dog to feel comfortable, then gradually decrease the distance.
2️⃣ Redirect focus: Use rewards to shift their attention to you, away from the distractions.
3️⃣ Use the 'place' command: When your dog is in their ‘place,’ they may feel safer, making it easier for them to settle.
4️⃣ Practice leashing at home: Leashing helps your dog learn to settle and stay calm, so they can relax in any setting.
Guide your dog through scary moments with patience and practice!

Try to imagine… an emergency happens and your dog is in pain, but he or she is afraid of being #touched and #handled by others. This would make it more challenging for the vet to examine and treat your dog. Even routine visits to the groomer could become stressful for both of you. 💔
That's why it's crucial to help your dog get comfortable with different people. Watch the video to learn more!

We people have different groups of friends that we enjoy different activities with. Our dogs are the same too.
There are people we get on with like a house on fire, chill with or go on walks with. And there are people that you just ignore like passing ships.
To keep your dog safe❤️, you should always teach your dog to be #neutral.
Guide your dog to understand that you will be the one to decide which one it gets to say hi to.
It’s really about keeping your dog #safe.
Imagine if your friendly child decided to stop and say hi to every stranger on a main street; you’d be appalled!
As you would teach your child about ‘stranger danger’ – do the same with your dog.
It’s about setting the boundaries that it cannot run over to say hi to another dog until you give it the release to do so.
💡Pro trip! Do not stop to say hi to all dogs and people on your walk. Pick and choose the dogs and people you’d like to socialize with and guide your dog towards dogs that you know it would be safe with
If you are facing difficulties in properly socializing your dog, whether it’s a pup, an adolescent dog, or an adult dog, we can help!

The Art of Doing Nothing
When you first bring your puppy home, it’s really tempting to want to play with it all the time.😍
However, remember that just like a young baby, a puppy needs to establish a #routine and have sufficient #rest.
Quite often, excessive play can overstimulate the puppy, causing them to become mouthy and irritable when tired. Make sure to allocate time for both mental and physical stimulation. Most importantly, include rest time too.
Like cranky kids who are forced to take a nap, the puppy may whine. Allowing them to #settle close to you often helps calm most dogs.
Try these tips to help your puppy understand the art of doing nothing… 😌✨
✅ Put your puppy in the crate or pen to sleep or chill whenever you are unable to supervise
✅ Leash your puppy on a short lead under supervision at home (💡Pro tip: Attaching it to a kettlebell offers more flexibility in changing locations easily!)
✅ Practice relaxation on a mat or blanket that can serve as a calming trigger object
Keeping your dog leashed under supervision would allow your dog to learn how to settle outside of the crate or pen and understand how to just watch the world go by.
Incorporate it into your daily routine with minimal distractions. Eventually, your dog will be able to settle even with a handyman or guests around.
The ability to settle while on the leash proves useful when your puppy begins exploring the outdoors, whether it's going to cafes, parks, or your friends' houses, or whenever you need your dog to quickly relax.

Make your own sniff game at home for your dog in 3 simple steps! 👍
1️⃣ Prepare a box and several recyclable items
2️⃣ Put the items into the box and conceal the reward inside
3️⃣ Invite or cue your dog to search for its reward in the box
Easy-peasy!
To make rummaging through those recyclable items fun for your dog, teach them a release word like “search”. Your dog will only “search” when given the cue.
Here are a few more safety tips for you:
✅ Use items big enough so your dog can't swallow it by accident
✅ Ensure the items are clean and without sharp edges

A crate is not intended to "jail" your dog. It is used for providing them a #safe place to #relax.✨ It is also a place where they can retreat to #calm themselves when feeling anxious and stressed.
We do not use it for punishment. Instead, we want to create as many positive associations as possible with the crate. This is how you do it 👇
✅ Encourage your dog to go into the crate using treats
✅ Reward your dog for going in and staying inside
✅ Ensure your dog always feel comfortable, safe, and calm inside the crate
To not overwhelm your dog with the crate training, you should break down the training and acclimation into bite-size pieces.
▶️ Going into the crate. If your dog is nervous about going in, you can always remove the door and the top of the crate.
▶️ Staying in the crate with the door wide open.
▶️ Closing the door.
▶️ Crate train your dog at different times and for random durations, variating whether you are home or not.
Whenever you crate train your dog – ensure that the dog has had sufficient mental and physical fulfillment. It should be a safe space that your dog wants to rest in.
Work with a professional dog behaviorist to make crate training efforts much easier for you both! Drop us an inquiry now 👉 www.happytails.asia
