Indy got the 2nd series of puppy shots and her microchip. She handled it all like a champ! She's growing well and already tipping the scale at 14.4 #. She has big paws to fill 😉
Cheyenne got her Lyme panel done. I am happy to report it was clear 🎉🎊 I was anxious that she may have lasting repercussions from her week-long escape. All good tho. Yipee!!

The girls traveled so well together. They will now be travel buddies.🥰

Coming up in July, my princesses will be visiting the groomer together. Cheyenne will be showing Indy the ropes. 👸👸

Thought I'd drop an Indy update 🩵

What a wonderful addition Indy has been to ours and Daddy's house. She rides Shotgun with me back and forth to Daddy's and hangs out while I'm on shift. She's brought so much joy to him. He looks forward to her coming and says good night to her when we leave. I must admit, I was a little concerned bringing a puppy into his home for fear of potty fails or property destruction. Those fears have been squashed. She sits at the back door and cries to go out to potty. She is so smart that she's already learned the off limit zones, knows her kennel ( for when he's traveling or transferring) and is content to play and chew on her hoofie. Indy has even warmed up to the staff. When my family was in for Father's Day they all remarked what a gem she is. My brother even threatened to kidnap her to take back to the city. ( not a chance!)

This is proof of what a quality breeder brings to the table. Healthy, well adjusted pups. Thank you Olivia for all the time you put into this litter. I know it was a labor of love and it shows. Thanks to the kids too for socializing her so well. ( i may have to borrow them to do my future litters 🤔) And also thank you to Daddy Blue for showing her the ropes on the farm and being such a good protector. And we cant forget Mama Ella who birthed and raised a healthy litter.
Oh, and Dan too! My husband can attest to the Pivots involved, with us ( crazy) animal loving wives 🤷‍♀️

Kudos to All 👏👏👏

Indy is undergoing her last piece of training before she comes to us.
I really appreciate a breeder that goes the extra mile to make sure the pups have a solid, stressless transition into their forever homes. Puppy training from the very beginning is as important as nutrition to ensure a well rounded pup.

Thank you Peaceful Pastures Farm for caring for and raising these pups so well.

What a Beautiful, level headed pup!

Dog Anxiety Training: How to Socialize a Dog or Puppy

Training a shy or anxious dog is important not only for the happiness and health of the animal but also for safety. Shy or anxious dogs are more likely to bite or show other signs of aggression, so it is important to train a shy or anxious dog as soon as possible.

Here are some tips about how to train a shy or anxious dog with socialization training techniques and relaxation.

Dog Training and Socialization:
Early socialization is important to training a dog and preventing aggressive or shy displays of behavior. Poor socialization is one of the most frequent causes of shy or anxious behavior in dogs, so it is important to expose your dog at an early age to other animals and people of different sizes, shapes, and colors. Some dogs that are aggressive toward children may behave this way because they were never socialized with children. Similarly, dogs that chase or even kill cats or other small dogs may feel threatened by these animals and feel the need to act out their instinctual territorial behavior if they are not accustomed to these other types of animals.

Here are some quick tips for how to socialize your puppy:
Take your dog on daily walks.
Socialize your dog within the first 3 to 12 weeks of life by introducing your puppy to new people and animals. Puppies are more likely to accept new and different people, animals, places, and objects during this time.
Frequently take your puppy to a dog park so that the puppy can interact with other dogs and people, and walk your puppy often.
Consider a further study of obedience training for your dog to further ingrain the socialization training.
Make socialization experiences positive for your puppy by giving your puppy lots of attention, praise, and the occasional treat. Socialization only works if the dog has a good experience with the new people, places or things, and it is possible to instill negative socialization in a puppy or dog, as you may see in dogs that have been abused or neglected. These types of dogs may need more intense socialization training to reverse any negative socialization habits they may have developed from past experiences.
Adult dogs older than 1 year who have not been socialized develop caution, shyness or fear about new experiences.
Trauma in dogs and relaxation
If a dog has received forceful training or has been mistreated in a negative way, the dog may become shy or fearful of humans and will require lots of patience and love to reverse the negative effects. To help your dog relax and reverse trauma of past experiences, you must build your dog's confidence by rewarding desired behaviors, giving verbal praise and the occasional treat. Here are some tips to help your dog relax:

To stop unwanted behavior in a traumatized dog, either ignore the behavior or use a clear but gentle command, such as "No". Yelling at an already-traumatized dog will create more trauma and have a negative effect.

Sit with your dog for 10 to 20 minutes per day in a relaxed and quite environment and reward your dog for relaxed, calm behavior. Gentle petting or massage during this time can help the dog relax even more and will strengthen the bond between yourself and the dog. After about a week of this routine, gradually begin adding small distractions such as quietly clapping your hands or snapping. This will help your dog establish a pattern of calm and controlled responses to these unexpected noises or events.

Once your dog has established a pattern of relaxation, expose the dog to small amounts of whatever makes him fearful, such as strange people, animals or places, and accompany that exposure with a tasty treat, verbal praise, and other gentle, positive reinforcement. For example, if your dog is afraid of loud noises but loves bacon, expose the dog to loud noise at the same time you give the dog bacon. This creates a link so that the dog associates the negative experience of loud noise with the positive experience of bacon.

Praise your dog whenever an obstacle is overcome, no matter how small you think it may be.

Reversing trauma and counter-conditioning in dogs happens over time. If you are patient and loving, your dog can be trained to overcome shy or anxious behavior.

Repost from Collieology:

TIGHT SPOTS
Today our breed expert Carol Price looks at why collies often seek favourite ‘hideaway’ spaces to cram themselves into

Recently one of our followers David Pearce, from Wales, sent us these pictures of his rescue collie Bella, in one of her favourite sleeping areas – tucked tightly under a small table – and wondered why she did this.

Other collies might prefer to retreat to somewhere like behind the sofa, or under a desk or chair, or into a crate if they have one. It is always somewhere that gives them an ongoing vantage point – i.e. where they can still that see anything that might be coming towards them - while also offering them some greater sense of protection through being more enclosed.

You may also notice that when dogs sleep, they nearly always like to have their backs against something solid like a wall or piece of furniture, so that any threat that might disturb them could only come from one direction – towards the front of them, and not from behind.

ANCIENT INSTINCTS
All these behaviours are completely instinctive, and date back to our dogs’ more ancient wolf ancestors, who used caves or dug out dens as places of safety in harsher weather or to raise cubs, or when feeling under threat. The same ancient memory of smaller spaces being safer places remains programmed into modern dogs today.

Similarly, they may feel a need to get into these spaces when frightened by noises – like thunder or fireworks – or when there is just too much happening around them on a sensory level (noise, movement, other household commotion) which they need to retreat from. And when they do, it is so important to just let them, and similarly let them leave their 'safety spots' only when they want to. For any attempt to pressurise them out of them, especially when they are feeling more anxious or frightened, immediately starts to compromise the degree of safety they have attached to their ‘special space’ or may even attract a more defensive reaction in some dogs.

REDUCING THE PRESSURE
All dogs need some escape from the daily pressures of our human world some time, and being allowed to have it, whenever they need it, is important for their wider mental health. On a final note, could I just add that if you are going to use a crate for your dog’s special ‘safety space’, the door should be left open and the crate should be covered with a blanket on the top and three surrounding sides to make it feel more enclosed and thus far safer (see illustration here). Conversely, the worst thing you could ever do is shut a dog in a crate that is totally exposed on all sides, as well as on the top above, giving a dog a sense that threat could come at them from any direction at any time, while simultaneously giving them no opportunity to escape it. It is a really horrible thing to do to any dog.
