🐾 Puppy Priorities: The Enrichment Revolution 🐾 Is your puppy bouncing off the walls? It's time to revolutionize their routine with enrichment activities! Not only will these keep your furry friend entertained, but they'll also promote better behavior and a happier pup. Enrichment activities encourage our puppies to engage all their senses and make the most of their environment. This helps fight boredom and keeps our dogs mentally stimulated, which can lead to improved behavior. Here are some fun ideas to get you started: -Puzzle Feeders: Use food puzzles or interactive feeders to make mealtime more challenging and rewarding. This engages your pup's problem-solving skills! -Scent Games: Our puppies' sense of smell is incredible. Try creating a sniffing mat or playing hide-and-seek with treats. These activities promote calm behavior while fulfilling natural instincts. -Cardboard Creations: Make a simple puzzle by cutting holes in a paper towel tube, adding treats, and sealing the ends. For an extra challenge, wrap it in paper! -Bubble Fun: Believe it or not, puppies love bubbles! They provide visual stimulation and encourage playful behavior. You can even find dog-safe, edible bubbles for worry-free fun. -New Experiences: Take your pup on a car ride with the windows down (safely, of course!) or create a sensory garden with dog-friendly plants. New sights, smells, and sounds are great for developing confidence. Remember, a mentally stimulated puppy is a well-behaved puppy. By incorporating these enrichment activities into your daily routine, you're setting your furry friend up for success! What's your pup's favorite enrichment activity?

Humping or mounting behavior is a natural and common behavior in dogs that occurs for various reasons: - Sexual/hormonal urges: This is especially common in younger, unneutered dogs as they reach sexual maturity (around 5-8 months old). - Stress or overstimulation: Dogs may hump when anxious, excited, or overwhelmed by their environment. - Play behavior: Humping can be a normal part of play between dogs, used to initiate play or during wrestling. - Attention-seeking: Some dogs learn that humping gets a reaction and use it to seek attention. - Compulsive behavior: In some cases, humping can become a compulsive stress-relief behavior. While humping is natural, it can lead to conflicts with other dogs, and reinforcement of undesirable behaviors if not managed properly. HERE ARE THE BEST WAYS TO HANDLE HUMPING BEHAVIORS: - Identify triggers: Notice what situations lead to humping and try to manage those environments. - Redirect and distract: When you see signs of impending humping, redirect your dog's attention to a toy or command. - Provide adequate exercise and mental stimulation: This can help reduce stress and excess energy that may lead to humping. - Use positive reinforcement training: Reward calm behavior and teach alternative behaviors like "sit" or "down" to use in exciting situations. - Consider neutering: While not a guaranteed solution, it may help reduce sexually motivated humping. - Be consistent: Address the behavior every time to prevent it from becoming ingrained. - Seek professional help: If humping becomes excessive or problematic, consult a veterinarian or certified dog behaviorist. Remember, punishment is not effective and may increase stress, FURTHER INCREASING THE HUMPING! Instead, focus on positive redirection and addressing underlying causes like stress or overstimulation. With patience and consistent training, most humping behavior can be managed effectively. #NobleBeast #NobleBeastDogTraining #NobleBeastFurever
