🐾🌟 Puppy Playtime 🌟🐾

Embarking on the journey of puppy parenthood? From the moment your puppy comes home, how you interact with them is shaping how they behave! Wondering how to play with your 8-week-old puppy in a way that nurtures desirable behavior? 🤔 Watch our video and read below for insights on fostering healthy development through engaging play! 📽️👀

🐾 Puppy Pen Paradise: Puppy should be safely enclosed in a well-designed pen, creating a haven that prevents mischief and fosters safe play. Using pens with vertical bars deters climbing, and cleverly placed cardboard barriers blocking the couch prevents fabric-biting tendencies. There is a walk-through gate that leads to a quick-access potty area outside the sliding door. Also, the pen is attached to the puppy's crate so she can practice resting there.

🎉 Toy Wonderland: Foster healthy chewing habits and keep your pup entertained. Surround your pup with a variety of toys for optimal decision-making! Soft, hard, rolling, noisy- offer plenty of choices that engage and satisfy their natural instincts. Having plentiful toys within reach makes it easier for the puppy to make appropriate choices and practice chewing on toys (rather than humans or human objects).

🍗 Edible Enrichment: There are a couple chews available in case the puppy gets bored of play, having these handy allows us to transition seamlessly from interactive play to independent downtime with tasty chews. This ensures your pup stays engaged, satisfied, and happily occupied.

🤗 Positive Playtime Voice: Adopt a gentle, happy voice during interactions. Most of Kyla's narration is for your (the viewer's) benefit to make it easier for you to track her thought process and choices, but it is certainly helpful to use a playful tone while interacting with puppies during play. Mimic this approach to build a strong bond with your pup.

🔄 Adaptable Play Strategies: Respect your pup's choices in play. Learn to adjust your play style based on your pup's cues. Whether they want to play with a rope, stay and chew on a toy with you, or wander away, go with the flow. But be prepared- if pup gets bored they may try to chew on you, when this happens try using a toy in a new way to help re-engage focus and interest! Kyla does this by moving the toy away and then close again at different speeds, wiggling it excitingly when she gives it back.

🦈✋Nipping: When nipping occurs, remain calm! Avoid squealing, using a harsh voice, or abrupt reactions. Instead, calmly remove your hands and replace with a toy (or dance one around for them to grab) — doing this consistently and patiently will promote positive behavior.

💫Freedom of Movement: Allow your pup the freedom to move around and make choices, rather than confining the puppy to a single position (e.g., held only in your lap). In the video, you'll notice the puppy occasionally being gently lifted into the handler's arms. This happens only after the pup signals interest, and Kyla provides a helping hand to place her in the desired position. (It's worth noting that, based on the pup's history of interaction, she enjoys sitting in laps. Remember, each puppy is an individual, and lap time may not be every pup's preference!)

🤝 Mindful Handling: Avoid restrictive holds and invasive gestures. Respecting their space and choices builds trust and a stronger bond. Note that Kyla is not shoving her face into the puppy's face or trying to kiss/hug her. Invading their space or holding a puppy in ways that are uncomfortable for them can cause frustration or overstimulation, which often manifests as biting. Respecting puppies' space and choices helps to build a more trusting relationship. 💕

Remember, every playful moment is a step towards a well-mannered, happy pup! 🌟🐕

Clients often ask me, "how long will training take" and my answer every time is "that depends on your dog", for your dog will drive the bus through the behavior modification process. Some dogs move quickly, while others take baby steps. Many factors influence behavior change, like how much trauma your dog has experienced in their past, (if any) and how that has impacted learning and living. How long they have rehearsed the behavior you are trying to change, and how well it has worked for them up tp this point. What kind of a training history they have had and how easily they trust other humans. And finally, what kind of relationship they have with their owner. Sometimes the behavior change starts with rebuilding that relationship first. This is not an exhaustive list of factors, but they are some obvious ones that come to mind. It is a journey. So pack your bag with time, patience and commitment; detach from the outcome; celebrating the small steps will help you realize how much you have already accomplished.

🎃 Halloween is finally here! It's a time of spooktacular fun for kids (and the kid in all of us), complete with candy, costumes, and all sorts of creepiness. But as your devoted canine advocate, I want to ensure that your four-legged pals have a fantastic and safe time too! 🐾

Darkness, costumes, and the excitement in the air can make even the calmest of dogs a bit uneasy.
Here are some important things to keep in mind this Halloween:

👻 Kids in costumes can be unpredictable, and some go all out to get reactions. Your dog will not understand why people suddenly look different and may become distressed.
🐾 In the video we've shared, we're working with a 10-month-old lab, practicing her ability to ignore potentially scary "monsters." While the dogs I work with are comfortable around various distractions, I wouldn't expect them to interact with a person in costume, as unfamiliar appearances can make them unpredictable. As you'll see in the video, this rockstar pup shows how early socialization and training have helped her stay cool in the face of this spooky fiend.

🐶 Should your dog walk with you on Halloween night? Well, it depends on the individual dog, but the odds are, probably not!
🍫 Are you 100% sure your pup would ignore candy found on the ground? Remember, chocolate and other treats from kids' bags are very dangerous for dogs! It's almost guaranteed that there will be spilled or discarded treats on the ground. Will you spot that open bag of M&M's in the grass before your dog gobbles it up?
In this video we are practicing a default leave it, meaning I do not cue my dog to ignore the food on the ground; her training tells her that food on the ground is not for her, and she should look to me for guidance (and dog-safe compensation 🌭).

🐕 Let's make this Halloween paw-some, where the scariest thing is how well-behaved your furry friend is becoming! From our dedicated team at Shyne Dog Training, we wish you a 'howl' of a good time this spooky season! 🐾🎃👻

🐾 PUPPY SPOTLIGHT 🐾

Lily is a 6 month old Poodle with a sweet disposition. Lily’s pawrents came to me from a referral from puppy specialist and friend, Kyla, CPDT-KA of ACUITI: Achieving Canine Understanding In Training Interactions

Lily is a more timid puppy who experienced health problems during her socialization period that interrupted her training.
Despite this, Lily has a dedicated family that has been working hard to teach her that the world is safe.

Lily’s family is focusing on
🩷 Confidence Building
🩷 Cooperative Care
🩷 Impulse Control

🐾🐾 Does your puppy's name response look like this? 🐾🐾

An immediate "whiplash" turn to a name cue can save your dog's life! The world is full of distractions and temptations that can grab our dogs' attention and put them in dangerous situations. It's critical to be able to get fast, reliable eye contact to keep your puppy safe!

Here, Akira is showing off her instant orient-to-handler behavior when I call her name. With this cue, I'm not asking her to come all the way to me, just to pay attention - but she comes anyway for her reward! ☺️ I taught Akira this life-saving behavior through training games inspired by the renowned Control Unleashed Puppy Program.
