Oak Road Farm & Pyrenees

Who has had a Great Pyrenees with resource guarding issues? 🖐🖐🖐 We know that RG is a huge part of Great Pyrenees and rightfully so! But, when we take a GP out of the field and away from a flock and make them a couch potato, that doesn't genetically change what has purposefully been bred into them for YEARS! We LOVE the purposefully breeding of GPs, but most of ours go to live in homes and be completely spoiled! 🥰😍 So, while they're here, I'm very intentional about creating a gentle mouth in a pyr and creating a atmosphere of contentment around food and drink, so those RG genes don't rear their ugly head in your home! I did not always see the importance of this, but some dogs lean heavy into the RG. Here's one way I can desensitize puppies while they're around food and drink! #greatpyreneespuppy #greatpyrenees #greatpyrenees #livestockguardiandog #livestockguardiandogs #akc #akcgreatpyrenees #puppyplaytime #desensitization #rescourceguarding #food #drink #working #breeding ##puppiesofig #puppylove #joy #wisconsin #farmdog #couchpotato #lazydog #goodboy #enjoy #play #learn #goals #adopt #beautiful #funny #happypup #puppygram

Start the New year off right with TRAINING! We are so excited for our next BOARD & TRAIN 10 DAY INTENSIVE Training session! It's amazing what we can do in 10 days!!!!

Friends. We are asking for prayers!!! Our sweet, little Baby Blue Boy, came back to us, because suddenly his health turned. He's lost movement in his back legs. X rays were done. Clear. Blood test. Clear. Fecal sample. Clear. He's declining so quickly. Yes, he's on meds. He's been seen TWICE by a Vet. Tomorrow morning, he'll be seen again. It was recommended we euthanize, but I just cannot do that right now. They're thinking he some how contracted Meningitis. He's always been my little Soldier! He's fought against so many odds. I know he can beat this, but he needs your prayers. Here he is, set up with some pup TV....😭

Dolly was very "Helpful" while I cleaned the kennels yesterday! 😂🤣😂🤣 This is one spicy puppy and I'm here for it! She is actually HOOT! Get on our contact list for future B&W GP pups!

Oh, you know.... Just over here, making desensitized, well- rounded, easy going puppies that like slides, tunnels and wheel chairs! 🥰🥰

When Oliver came to us for Super Pup Academy, His Mom said "He hates the kennels! He panics, and poo's and bucks around and makes a huge mess!" Well, Mama would be proud. He's perfectly content in the kennels on only day 3 of Super Pup Academy! PM me for future Training dates!

Ball pit + wobble seat + birds & squirrels on T.V... What good does that do? It's all part of the desensitizing game we play here! Puppies were fed, napped and now ready to play with exciting new things that test their sensory and reaction. They enjoy all of these things in a safe environment and learn that uncertain ground, new noises and smells and textures are OK!!!

SO PROUD! THIS is what good breeding + early pup education + AMAZING Owners (Shout out to Kris & her hubby!) Can look like! Sugar, one of our 2023 Pyredoodles has been training to be a service dog since she left. Her families dedication to her has paid off! She's in Disney!!! And look at this Queen! Not even flinching! But, there. For Nick. If he needs her comfort. 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I'm not crying, you're crying!!!!!! Get on our Spring pyredoodle waitlist now! www.oakroadpyrenees.com

The pups have learned how to eat their Moosh. It's always a super messy experience! Tonight after dinner, they got little sponge baths and happily tucked themselves into bed, while their Bedtime music played 🥰 Look at those sweet faces.

Desensitization is key! Our families get a list of sounds we play here in the nursery, so they can keep playing them and keep working on making their pup a cool cucumber during thunderstorms, fireworks, traffic noises, children playing, construction workers, phones ringing, etc! It's never easy to have a dog with terrible anxiety when a thunderstorm comes to town. By implementing these noises from an early age, we can really make it possible for pooch to snooze through all sorts of noises! We even add YOUR homes noises! We've added chainsaws, log splitters, bike tracks and airplanes! What's a noise by your house that causes anxiety in your pooch?
