The dog you call stubborn might be:

-scared
-anxious
-confused
-distracted
-painful
-tired
-not motivated by the reward on offer

Before you label a dog ‘stubborn’ think about the reasons they might not be able to carry out the action you’re asking them to do.

Labeling them stubborn won’t help. Instead, start by making the task easier for them, trying in a different environment, or reconsider the reinforcement you’re using.

Top tips for puppy’s first nights at home....

A puppy’s first few days in their new home can be a little worrying for them. They’ve been taken away from their mother, litter mates, known humans, and rearing environment; basically, everything they know as safe.

Bedtime can be an especially worrying time for new puppies but with a little bit of forward planning, kindness and reassurance puppy will soon be snoozing without a care in the world (like Mabel pictured)

-if possible, try to collect your new puppy in the morning so that they have most of the day in their new home to settle in before bedtime. Picking up a puppy late in the day and expecting them to be able to settle and sleep is asking a little too much.

-make sure you have prepared a safe space for puppy prior to their arrival. A crate lined with comfy bedding with a blanket or crate cover over the top is the perfect spot.

-Use an Adaptil or Pet Remedy diffuser in the room your puppy will be sleeping in. Make sure this is switched on before puppy comes home.

-For at least the first few nights you will need to be with puppy so that you can reassure them if they wake up and panic in the night. Either camp out on the sofa close to puppy’s crate, or start off with the crate in your bedroom and over the course of a few nights move it closer to where you want puppy to be sleeping longer term.

-Please don’t leave your puppy to ‘cry it out’, it’s mean! Puppy needs to learn to trust you and leaving them to panic and get distressed is damaging to this trust.

-Set your alarm for once in the night to take Puppy out for a toilet trip, they won’t be able to hold it all night to start with.

-Don’t be tempted to play with puppy just before bedtime to tire them out, this is likely to have the opposite effect. Instead let puppy participate in a calming activity such as a chew toy or snuffle mat filled with a small amount of food.

-Try to keep the first 2-3 days following puppy’s arrival nice and quiet. Trying to introduce them to too much at once could overwhelm them.

-Remember that puppies need a huge amount of sleep and rest- 16-20 hours a day!

March is pet anxiety awareness month.

It is thought that up to 82% of our dogs might suffer with a type of anxiety (PDSA PAW report 2018).

A dog might exhibit signs of anxiety in a number of situations including when travelling in the car, meeting new people or dogs, visits to the vet, and any changes to their environment such as a new pet or baby in the household.

It is important that you can recognise signs of stress and anxiety in your dog. These may include hyper vigilance, panting, pacing, trembling, refusing food, and hiding away.

Please seek professional help if you are concerned that your dog is showing symptoms of anxiety, fear, or stress.

Question:

What equipment do I need to have ready for a 1-2-1 training session with you?

Answer:

-a well fitted harness or flat collar and 6-8ft lead.

-lots of tasty food rewards, a variety is best (always prepare more than you think you’ll need)

-a special toy that you only get out to play with your dog I.e not one that’s left lying around at home all of the time. I love Tug-e-nuff tug toys!

-water bowl- learning can be thirsty work

-weather permitting, all sessions are held outdoors in your garden (or safe space of your choice) so suitable footwear and attire.

-you may wish to prepare a stuffed kong or lick mat for your puppy to keep them busy whilst we are chatting.

-lots of enthusiasm and patience!

And that’s about it, I’ll bring anything else we might need.

I’m looking forward to working with lots of new and existing clients alike this month 🐶🤩🐾
