Oodles of Poodles

Poodles are taking over the dog industry by storm! Their good looks and hypoallergenic fur make them the hottest choices in the market. They are amongst the fastest learners, engaging and consistently executing the cleanest drills without correction.

But they happen to also be one of our most common breeds with behaviour challenges. Poodle breeds are alpha in general, meaning they are steadfast with their decisions, very fast with sniffing out loopholes in rules, and are more than ready to take advantage of inconsistencies. They are more inclined to use their mouths and growls to assert themselves too. Just as an anecdotal reference, of the biting cases, we receive more Poodle-mixes than other breeds.

And as of every habit, they are constantly reinforced by repetition and catharsis from adrenaline (emotionally charged behaviours). Behaviour change is dynamic and complicated, don’t wait too long before calling us! It’s significantly more complicated the longer you wait.

Can you name all the poodle mixes featured? (Special shout-out to Poppy the King Charles Cav making it into our Poodle shoot.)

Dear diary, our pawrents keep flying overseas. Work-life balance they said. This is us overseas, living our best life. Work hard, play hard, stay humble.

Bmo came to us to work on specific agendas; reactivity to fast moving vehicles, fear for unfamiliar humans, and building general confidence. She lives in a dense neighbourhood with heavy traffic, tons of frantic dogs, fast moving cars, all at once the moment they leave their apartment. She also lives with an older skittish dog, and they tend to feed each other’s anxiety when a trigger throws one of them off. So even though her issues are considerably moderate, all things considered, we had an imminent need to establish an effective communication system built on a strong foundation of trust. The earlier the better.

Here in our Board n Train (BnT) program, we believe that devil is in the details; nothing is more important than building a strong foundation. First two weeks is the reward-based learning phase, all dogs will master their 5 basic commands. Week 3 and 4 is committed to proofing what they learnt in real life environments. Common drills include 20 minute unassisted Sit Stays at the trains stations, unassisted Sit Stay in front of dog runs, loose leash heel walks in unlikely places like Orchard. Just to make sure your dog is over prepared for their new lifestyle back home.

Owners are heavily involved in the process too; there’s 2 two-hour sessions before handing over, month-long homework drills for owners to work on from day one of handover, and post BnT training during our weekly daycare program. It only matters if we can translate our skills to owners when going home, everything else is bragging rights.

Bmo and her owner have been enjoying stress-free walks since our BnT. We cant change the dog’s nature, but we can choose to reinforce either their strengths or weaknesses. Bmo’s mother is still doing drills on the regular, we are still proactively working on loose ends when they appear, the journey is ever ongoing. We’re very proud of Bmo for all she has achieved, looking forward to grow old with her! .of.a.doge

Walks are a foundation to your relationship with your dog. How you balance advocating for them sometimes while keeping them accountable at other times matter.

It’s ineffective to only correct your dog, impractical to only reward your dog. There’s the learning phase, the proofing phase, and then the enjoying the fruits of your labor phase, in that order. There’s no short cuts, but there’s always a balanced human dog relationship waiting on the other side if you get it right.

Here at Tailsntrails, we train every dog (and their humans) one by one, and only move on when they are ready for the next. Because every dog’s motivator is different, its the best way to do them justice.

Drift is a pure Samoyed: hardworking, wilful, playful, and super affectionate. They are bred for herding, hunting, protecting and sled-pulling. The Inuits and modern families alike favor them for their naturally affectionate side; they love snuggling with little children, keeping them warm in the cold while protecting them from the hostile environment.

True to his lineage, he’s a natural strong puller, he gets over affectionate with attention, tends to knock over his humans, and he gets over-reactive and very vocal when seeing other dogs on walks. His walks use to be stressful on a daily basis.

During his Board n Train, we taught him to walk without pulling, to have an on and off switch, and mastery of impulse control. With the 5 basic commands and these life skills, we sent him home with a list of easy to do homework for his handlers at home to catch up with Drift and us.

We cannot change the dog’s disposition, but we can make it his life-purpose to practice impulse control when he’s outdoors, in return for rewards and freedom after “work”.

Board and Train is sure way to reconditioning certain well-practiced and/or in-borne traits that make life stressful in our human world. It isn’t necessarily your fault or theirs, but it is our responsibility to help them navigate our complex and confusing world.

Drop us a line if you have a struggle, we’re ready to get to work when you are!

Long before we take it to the streets as a pack on loose leash, we work with every single dog one by one.

The bulk of our content shows our easy days; the dogs that are already trained going for leisurely pack walks together. We aim to go beyond showing cute photos and videos; our job is only done when our clients can replicate what we do.

Clients come to us with their struggles, we learn every dog’s triggers and motivations, and choose activities and drills based on that.

This is our behind the scenes. Majority of our time is spent on technical drills; hundreds of repetitions, week after week. That’s where the effective learning happens, that when the transformation occurs.

Tell us your struggle, slide us a DM, let’s get to work!

Ginger is a 1.5 years old Cavapoo. True to her lineage, she’s very confident, sound sensitive, and excitable by nature. Her confidence makes her steadfast with her decisions. Coupled with intelligence meets confidence, comes a wilful nature that requires a fluid balance of assertiveness and guidance. Add her excitement to the mix, mastering her basic commands with reliability amongst distraction is our main goal, and nurturing a calmer mind amongst her triggers is our main objective.

Board and train is all about building a reliable communication system that enables a healthy relationship, with exposure to triggering situations to build calm confidence. It is achieved by continuous learning through hundreds of consistent repetitions with gradually increasing difficulty.

There is the learning phase with tons of reward and guidance, and the proofing phase were we take it to the streets to work on your dog’s triggers. Because every dog is different, the bespoke nature of ensures your dog gets uninterrupted progress, and they return home with a list of easy homework to ensure you get there too. Our daycare training provides weekly maintenance to make sure there’s no regression. It’s all put together to maximise chances of success.

Drop us a DM to learn more on how we can help you get there too!

Structure brings order, a loose leash produces impulse control, a packwalk creates peer influence. Put them together, you get a set of principles that nurtures collective calmness, a self-rewarding system that allows us more options to explore as a pack.

A system allows for us to navigate complex situations smoothly. It allows differences to flourish safely in the same environment. We stay in our lanes, so many can enjoy many more lanes.

Think global transport infrastructure systems and e-commerce marketplace algorithms; they are a set of principles and systems (structure & limitations) that enables more opportunities, more experiences, more freedom.

What seems restrictive on the surface, creates more freedom. Our packs don’t pull to the end on their leashes, and in turn, their freedom never ends.

Sit stay for life. Here’s 8 dogs staying in place, and one non-training sausage boarding with us, enjoying their company. 😆

In this pack we have the combined history of dog fights, biting handlers, classic/fear aggression, chronic pullers, severe skittishness, leash reactivity. Nearly all have behavior issues usually rejected by other dog daycare services.

We work with every single dog, one on one, and work our way up. We start with stay for 10 seconds, no distractions, then 1 min, 5 mins, 5 mins with 2 dogs, then 10 mins etc.

Tons of rewards, strategised corrections, with religious consistency.
We repeat our drills like any other precision sport hone their craft. Dogs in our Group training days have the proficiency of sitting 30 mins and beyond with all types of dogs.

Effort and skills involved may vary but every dog can get there. Drop us a line, let’s get to work 🤙

Hi everyone! Here’s a video sharing how we start our pack walks in the right state of mind by keeping them accountable and following our rules of engagement. Simple basic commands applied consistently. Some take longer/more reps, some get there faster, but every dog can do this 💪🏻
