Pups experiencing new things through exploration and play during this super-important formative period is so very important in achieving the goal of having a well-rounded, adaptable dog 🚜🦴🐾

Good tips!

How do you prevent dog anxiety in car rides? Teach your dog to ride in the car calmly and comfortably to make travel easier for both of you.

4 weeks old today! The whelping box was expanded today to give them more room to play and we also added a tray filled with wood pellets on one end that teaches them to start using the bathroom in a certain area, and not just all over the place. This is an important first step in house training. 😊

Talley is normally a laid back, lazy girl but let someone pull out a water hose and she’ll transform into an acrobat every time 😆

Puppies and Dogs come hardwired with the desire to communicate with humans, but we do not speak the same language. Many dogs try to communicate by jumping up on us, barking, or putting their paws on your leg. To avoid this we have to reprogram our dogs and teach them the proper way to ask for things. We use the “clicker training” method and teach them something called Manding, which is defined as “the skill of asking for something we want”. In the first part of the video, you will see a puppy in its very first training session. We teach the puppy that he or she can offer a behavior that can earn them a reward. This starts off very simply with the puppy getting a treat each time he or she interact with the box in front of him. Each time the puppy touches the box, you will hear the clicker, and immediately the puppy is treated. The goal is to reprogram the Puppy to “sit” in front of us and make eye contact when they want something instead of jump or paw. So once the puppy catches on, and realizes that they can offer a behavior, we show them the desired behavior that they can offer. In this case, the desired behavior is “sitting with eye contact”. The second half of the video shows the puppy doing just that. When the puppy comes up for a treat, as soon as its bottom hits the ground, you will hear the clicker and a treat is given. 😊

“Sound Protocols” - once we notice the first ‘startle response’ we start using sound in several ways: 1.) Classical Music - research has shown that a dog that listened to at least 45 minutes of classical music per day spent more time sleeping, barked less, and shook less than dogs, who listened to no music or other kinds of music. (Video 1) 2.) Habituation recordings/television - no more than an hour per day, usually on our living room floor laying with the kids. (Picture) 3.) Quiet room for sleeping at night. 4.) Startle recovery exercises (video 3 with the pot) It is also important to start exposing pups to “upsetting noises” like blow dryers or vacuums. (Video 3)
