Are there times where your dogs may be able to figure things out amongst themselves? Absolutely!

But what times are acceptable?

This question in itself is loaded and has tons of variables.

What is the situation?
What is the temperament of both dogs?
Do your dogs have a previous history of fighting?

9 times out of 10, it is often best for you to intervein in any problems your dogs may be having.

This doesn't mean you are a helicopter parent or that you are messing up anything.

Dogs do not work things out the same way that you and I do. And unfortunately, due to an increase in poorly bred dogs and incorrect upbringing, we are seeing an increase in dogs who do not react appropriately to these types of situations.

What can happen if we allow our dogs to constantly work out their problems in inappropriate manners?

Increased tension between dogs, fights, new behavioral problems, learned problem behaviors, and so much more!

What can you do to help?

Learning dog body language is a great start. Start paying attention to how your dogs are interacting throughout the day.

Is one dog being a bully? Is one dog not listening to social cues? Can you change something to help alleviate the issue?

Start stepping in and helping your dogs' work through the problem instead of expecting them to figure it out themselves.

Most homes have more than one pet. This could be other dogs, cats, birds, or anything in-between. Here are some tips to help all the animals in your home get along better and live a safer life.

1. Make sure you give each animal their own space to go and be by themselves. This could be a room, a kennel, or anywhere where they can have alone time by choice.

2. Spend time alone with each animal. Just as kids need one-on-one time, so do your animals!

3. Feed separately. Most food-based altercations could be prevented just by giving your animals privacy while eating.

4. Set a stable routine for all your animals. Animals thrive with a routine.

5. Supervise interactions between your animals. While some owners may go their whole lives without any issue between their animals, it is often not worth the risk of allowing them to interact without someone present. Dogs can do serious damage not only to other dogs, but other animals in the house if left unattended.

Do you have a dog or puppy who likes to steal shoes or other items in the house? Then it turns into a game of "you can't catch me"?

Here are some ways to help with that. 👉

🔹 Teach a strong "Leave it"

🔹 Teach them that you will no longer play the chase game, but you will make a trade instead. Find a treat or toy that they can have instead of the item they shouldn't have.

🔹Try to keep items that they shouldn't have picked up and out of their reach

🔹 Utilized place, tethering, or their kennel when you can't keep an eye on them. Your dog won't be able to get into things if you can monitor them.

This behavior is often developed as a puppy. "Prevention is worth an ounce of cure."

If you start noticing that your dog is showing any signs of aggression when you try to take things from them, it is probably time to reach out to a trainer for a more personalized approach.

Before and after, Opie!🐕

Our main focus with Mr. Opie was not only obedience, but his overall confidence. Opie settled in super quickly after his first day and started to blossom within his first week!
In three short weeks, he has went from a dog who could barely walk through the slidding doors at stores to a more confident dog who is mastering to art of being in public.
Opie still has a ways to go to continue to build on his confidence, but we are beyond proud of his progress!

Happy graduation day Opie! 💕

Looking to bring a new dog or puppy into your home? 🐕

The introduction process isn't usually difficult, but it is important!

How can we help your dog feel better about the new friend we are bringing into our house?

🔹 Do-
Introduce them in a controlled manner that is appropriate for the temperament of both dogs. No off-leash greetings until we know everyone's personality better and we know how they will react to each other.
Barriers are ok to use as long as neither dog has barrier frustration.

Start in a calm neutral area. Some dogs may be more defensive when a new dog comes into their territory.

Some dogs may benefit from having time to adjust to their new home for a day or two before being introduced to the current dog in the household. This is a great chance for each dog to smell behind the other dog!

Give each dog alone time after meeting each other, especially once the new dog is permanently staying with you. Dogs greatly benefit from decompression time, and it will have a positive effect on their relationship.

🔹 Don't-
Do not allow either dog to overwhelm the other. First impressions can make a difference.

Do not jump to allowing communal access to food, toys, or other important resources.

Do not try to make it a surprise for your current dog. They will appreciate you taking time with this introduction!
🔹
Remember that every dog is different. Even the most dog friendly dogs may have some kind of aversion to a new dog coming into their home.

Take your time and give each dog the ability to adjust to each other.

Quick training update on Opie!

Opie is a more anxiouis guy, so we take a little bit of a different approach during his outings.
He is doing so good with his obedience and learning to work through his anxiety.

Good job Opie!

Are you really a shepherd person if you can’t recognize them just by their ears?

We had an awesome private lesson with Lincoln this afternoon! His parents have such an awesome pup on their hands!

08/12/2024

Every dog who stays with us for training gets to go on outings. But why do we do this?

🔹 Proofing Behaviors
When we teach new behaviors, we have to teach our dogs to generalize. Simply put, this means the dog is learning how to perform the same behavior in different places, with different context and distractions.
By never doing any training outside of our training facility, we cannot prepare the dog for the more common distractions they may experience in the real world.

🔹 Building Confidence
The more we can expose a dog to in a positive light, the more confidence we can help them build. Real world experiences come from actually being out in the real world. Not in a familiar training environment.

Are you ready to start training?
👉🏻 We have Board and Train spots available as early as September 4th!

Small dogs are awesome! 🐕
So why do they get such a bad rap?

All behaviors have a reason, they don't just pop up for no reason. So why do little dogs get so much hate?
▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪
🔹Their Boundaries are Often Ignored-
▪ Due to their small size, people often overlook that their small dogs to have boundaries. When we ignore the signs that our dogs are uncomfortable or not enjoying an interaction, they may resort to biting, growling, and snapping to get their point across.

🔹 Less Training Than Big Dogs-
▪ People often hold larger dogs to a higher standard than small ones since small dogs can't do as much damage as their larger counterparts. They often receive less training and fewer boundaries, resulting in more problem behaviors.

🔹 Overly Coddled and Enabled-
▪ Small dogs with bad behaviors are often the result of owners who find their bad behaviors funny or cute. They are also often put into positions where they feel trapped and feel the need to defend themselves.

Crate training is often a grossly misunderstood training tool. 🐾

Kennel training has more benefits than drawbacks. Not only does it give you a safe space for your dog to retreat to, but it also keeps them safe.

Stop! 🤚
Don't touch that bowl!

One of the most common misconceptions I hear regarding ways to prevent resource guarding is to stick your hand in their bowl while they eat.

This not only does not actually help prevent resource guarding, but it may cause the development of guarding behaviors in some dogs.

Think about it,🧠

If I stuck my hand in your plate while you were eating, would that make you see me as less of a threat? That I wasn't going to bother you while you were eating?

It will teach you the exact opposite! It teaches you that I am in fact a threat and I may come take your food from you.

Resource guarding is a behavior that can quickly become dangerous for you, people in your home, as well as other animals in your home.

If you believe your dog is showing resource guarding tendencies, reach out today to schedule a consultation!

Awesome outing with Miss. Nara! Finished up her obedience at Lowes then worked on recall with distractions. Even with the warm weather and distractions, Nara always does her best in everything she does! It's hard being a husky in NC summers!🔥 Good job Nara!🥳

🐾Daisy came to us to work on her engagment, leash walking, and basic obedience. I am beyond happy with how she has progressed these last few weeks! 🔹 🔹 Want to see if we are a good fit for you and your pup? Reach out today! 📞 910-988-5346 💻 www.BattleBridgeCanine.com

Nara rocking her off leash training! 🙌 🔹🔹 What makes our off leash program different? We actually care about the mindset of your dog. Not just the results. Too many trainers rely too heavly on using an e-collar for off leash skills. Instead, we want the e-collar to be a seatbelt when your dog is off leash. By not rushing training and focusing on the foundation of the skills we can create a dog who can enjoy off leash freedom without complete dependency on their e-collar!🔹🔹

Awesome first outing with Daisy! Lots and lots of heel work today! Not too shabby for her first outing.🥳

Today was Copper's graduation day! Both he and his owner went home with a wealth of information to help them continue on their training journey! Copper's moms biggest concern was his leash pulling. We spent the first week helping Copper settle in and trust us, then we quickly got to work on his obedience skills. Good job Copper! We are so proud of the progress you've made in these 3 short weeks! 🥳

Decided to pull out the splash pad to help beat the heat! Nara and Copper enjoyed cooling off while Daisy prefered to watch from the sidelines. 😆☀
