This is so important. As a client said to me yesterday, she has to commit, not waver. Same train of thought.

Proving any word you choose will work for a command, just be consistent.

Such a smart boy!

Sitting calmly while the car gets an oil change. New place and totally calm. Curious but calm. Good boy Calypso!

Calypso finishing his breakfast with a snuffle mat. He kinda gets it. He also gets distracted by his siblings and would rather play than eat sometimes. 😉🤷🏻‍♀️

Saturday morning play time. 🐾😁
What are you doing with your puppy this morning?

Working on basic skills in a high distraction setting. Such a good boy!

Someone had orientation today at daycare and this was the result. 😉
Perfect timing since momma has a major head cold and zero energy.

I had to leave him home yesterday so before I headed out, Calypso worked on a bunch of skills and behaviors. I’m so proud of my baby boy. He’s so smart and confident.

How is your relationship with your dog? Do you know what to do to improve it while creating rules & boundaries so you you don’t have a rebel?

Potter needs to practice stepping on a ‘bridge’ for Happy Ratters so Tab had the Klimb out. I brought it inside and Calypso has decided it’s a comfy spot.
I love how confident he is with new things.

Is your dog crate trained?
If so, what have you learned is the biggest benefit?
If not, how are things going?
I'm definitely keeping my sanity with Calypso being crate trained. Thank you to his breeder for having one in the puppy pen so he came to me loving the crate.

🤬Crates Are Cruel 😠 - why would you buy a dog to put it in a crate!?!

"My dog is scared of a crate so I won't put him in one"
"Crates are ABUSE"
"I got my dog to love not lock away"

These sort of statements we hear all the time, so why do we believe that every dog on the planet should be crate trained?

Well if you look back at our fireworks post we state to create a den like environment for your dog to help them feel safe. We litreally had 100's of comments and messages from social media thanking us as for the first time there dog was not petrified of the fireworks. The answer the crate!

Dogs love a den like environment, it helps them feel safe, it is a place for them to go when the house is perhaps a bit too busy or someone new is in the house they are unsure of.

A few reasons to crate are:
✅Imagine the first time your dog goes in a crate is at the vets.. This won't be a great experience for them.
✅Recovering from surgery and the door goes. Crate saves their legs.
✅Fireworks!
✅A safe place for them.
✅It teaches them to switch off!
✅It reduces the development of separation anxiety
✅If your dog is destructive it keeps them and your house safe!

If your dog is always on the go and never seems to switch off they will end up with a broken sleep pattern and as we all know that is not a good thing!

If you think of a crate as a prison then you need to change your mindset, it is more like a cot for a baby.

Once a dog is crate trained you leave the door open and allow the dog to choose.. 9/10 times they will choose their crate.

Learning how to get on things. Haven’t found a surface yet that he won’t touch.

02/08/2024

Place on a different surface in a different spot. He’s getting the idea.

02/01/2024

Starting to understand the ‘place’ command. Until Nala interfered. Lol. Watch for the side eye at the end. 😂😂😂

01/30/2024

He’s not going to fit under the cot for long! 😂

01/29/2024

Oh my! He was REALLY thirsty! 😂😂

01/28/2024

Calypso has his new ride. It’s a little big for him now but it’s definitely the safest place for him. Now to work on a tie down situation.

This is a great explanation of how to understand what happens when you don’t have a good relationship with your dog.
Let me know if you need help with your relationship.

Somebody is already very accustomed to being in the car. 💜💜

Littermate syndrome is no joke. I’ve seen the repercussions of it numerous times. Talk to me (or a trusted trainer) before you decide to get two same age pups at the same time.

So many people think harnesses will prevent their dog from getting hurt. Harnesses have specific uses....'so the collar doesn't hurt their neck' is not one of them.
I see dogs get free/out of harnesses just as easily if not more as from collars. A properly fitted collar should not come over your dog's head. Harnesses don't allow a good line of communication to your dog. How well does a person pay attention when you don't. make eye contact with them while talking?
Would you ever think a horse should be led by their saddle?
This diagram shows how a harness can be injurious to your dog. Think for yourself and talk with a trainer.

PETTORINA?no grazie
Soprattutto nei cuccioli….e nei cani che tirano molto, non siete più buoni se la usate, siete solo più ign…..ari delle conseguenze!
Credo che la foto sia esaustiva e non necessiti di nessuna spiegazione.
