🙋🏼‍♀️ Who can relate? We will keep this short and sweet. If you have a puppy, protect them from Aunt Janice's advice because she has had dogs for 40 years, the random bloke at the park telling you how you should train them, strangers on the internet trying to 'help', strangers and dogs invading their space if they are not wanting it. You are your dogs only advocate and you have to be their voice. Looking out for them in the early days can save you a whole lot of unpicking when they get a bit older. #puppytrainingadvice #dogtrainersuk #dogtrainingadvice #puppy101 #puppytrainingtips #puppytraining

💊 PILL HACK 💊 If your dog eats all around the pill and then spits the pill out, this one is for you! 1. Take 4-5 irresistible delicious treats 2. Wrap the pill in one of them 3. Deliver the first treat without the pill and quickly feed the rest, giving the pill snack in the middle 4. The rapid fire and promise of another treat helps the dog spend less time fussing over each treat and swallow it more quickly Give this a save! #dogtrainersuk #doghack #dogmed #dogmedication #dogtrajningtips #positivereinforcement #dogtrainingadvice

Our Members know the value of sniffing, as an activity for their dogs. It's both decompressing and easily accessible. It's both a sign of relaxation and a way to teach relaxation. It removes pressure and gives time. These lot do it so well 🙏 HOMEWORK...✅️ @jayna_dukki @gemmawaistell @shoot.itsshorty @angusthesbt @lbh.pt #keepitup #sniffing #search #foraging #relaxeddog #happydog #reactivedog #nervousdog #anxiousdog

Have you ever been out on a walk with your reactive dog and wanted to cry tears of pride with their ability to cope with a situation that previously would have been impossible/impassable? #dogtraining #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement #dogtrainingtips #reactivedog #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining101 #canecorso #rescuedog

📢SOUND ON The Skill is a simple one, yet one that many people discount. It's the ability to relax outside. Relax enough to sniff. Relax enough to investigate. Relax enough to think. But how? Our previous post showed you how to do it sitting still at a distance, with things going on. This method involves setting up search spaces in nature where your dog can practise getting the nose switched on. It's a great way of enabling them to process goings on around them without the intensity of watching, if you have a dog that is a "busy" dog. These spaces on your walks are what we call Treetops Ledges. Want to know more?

Cue the ASMR sounds 😍 Walks don't need to be (and shouldn't be) boring. How often I hear people say "They don't listen to me at all outside" Then follow with "We walk him on a figure 8, then let him off at the field" Where is the work that you're doing to create an engaging space? Your dog is a being that will do what feels good. So thinking about what motivates your dog and engages them before accusing them of being a Non-Listener will really help to advance your relationship outside. You could absolutely get to this point in ONE MONTH. We are offering ONE MONTH FREE on our hub, which ends today!

We've spoken a lot about Reward Markers, but not about NO REWARD Markers. Do you use them? They are signals/cues that you would give to your dog to let them know the behaviour they've offered is not the desired behaviour. Do you think that using NRMs is kind? Do they build frustration? Do they reduce frustration because the dog has more feedback? Does it depend on the dog? Comment below, and let's start the chat 🙌 #dogtraining #norewardmarkers #nrm #dogtrainer #debate #dogtrainingmethods #dogtrainingdebate #coffeeo'clock #haveyoursay #rewardmarkers #positivereinforcement?

What kind of route do you walk with your dog? Treetops Dog Training was built on a whole new restructuring of what the DOG WALK could look like. Essentially, we don't DOG walk. We HUMAN walk. A-B Loop We're creatures of habit. Treetops believes that we should instead see the outside world as a series of green zones - where you hop from one to the next and play games/decompress. Giving dogs time and opportunity to relax outside, and a break from harder tasks like loose lead walking or engagement training. Then... Hopping back across the same zones that you already visited should reduce the overstimulation and pulling (at the time where your dog will be most exhausted and mentally fatigued). This is because your dog has already checked this place out and has been safe there. Give it a try 👌 Want to find out more? You can book a free Discovery Call with us today to find out just how much we can support you in your journey to a calmer and happier dog 🐕 Head to the link in our bio🔗 #treetopsdogtraining #decompressionzones #neighbourhoodmapping #spicydog #nervousdog #fizzydog #reactivedog

🫶 big up to those working with their dogs natural needs on walks instead of hoofing a ball around for 30 minutes. The activities you do with your dog on their daily walk make a MASSIVE difference. Not only to their wellbeing and fulfillment but also to their bodies too. Natural outlets you could consider ✅️ scatter feeding ✅️ searching for a treat on a surface ✅️ hunting in long grass for their ball/toy/food ✅️ playing tuggy ✅️ chasing you around ✅️ hide and seek for tracking What do you play with your dog whilst out that they love and comes naturally to them? #DogEnrichment #dogtrainersuk #dogtraineruk #domorewithyourdog #labradoodle #outlets #interact #dogtrainingtips #puppytrainingadvice #puppytraining101 #dogtrainingtipsandadvice

The majority of dogs we work with are rescues ❤️ Layla (Pomsky) was rescued from a puppy farm aged 5 months. Luna was found on the streets of Romania as a small puppy. The way that they see the world, people, and luring is very different from how a dog raised from puppy here would. ADAPTING skills to make them LOW IN PRESSURE is key to achievement and confidence. Now, these 2 girls have come a long way and know me VERY well. They are super keen to learn now, trust me, and have become much more resilient 👏 Here, I have adapted Middle to use treat placement in shaping to reduce pressure in training. They don't mind me clapping as we do it to celebrate together, but if your dog is noise sensitivity, just stick with a GOOOOOD!
