Last training session of the year and what an amazing one. Well done Cosmo! He has a perfect recall, name attention, making eye contact and doing great with wait and stay. What a long way these two came with hard work and dedication.

Working on building some confidence. Mia, a rescue who lost her eye after a beating, doing great with her new pet parents. She could not have asked for a better mom and dad. She even went through the tunnel today without any hesitation. So proud of her.

Catching up with a last bit of puppy training before I close for the holidays. Mr Tyke. Learning the Down. He is such a fast learner. Also showing off all the ways he can sit and lay down and check out that sideward glance. Love it!

Another congratulations for a course completed. Well done to my intermediate class completing their final class and doing amazing. So proud of you all. The other students will be doing their "exam" via whatsapp and will get their certificate through their email. Love technology. All group classes will start up again in January 2025.

Great advise for the holiday season to help your dog cope with all the different people, sounds and smells.

We had some fun last week when we had an adult dog visiting the socialisation class to help the puppies have good experiences with other adult dogs. Not sure who had the most fun. Katryn sure enjoyed herself with all the puppies.

The dogs in my intermediate class is doing so well that Gifty decided that he will drive his mom home. 🤣

Puppy socialisation classes

The weather was really trying to work against us this week but in the end, we had class. Some photos of some fun activities your puppy will experience. Different textures to walk over, big and small tunnels for the puppies to choose from, the famous ball pond to help with proprioception that all puppies love as well as some small jumps to climb over, a wobble board, a plank to walk over and hula hoops to walk over. Different “weird” human stuff that they can experience and get habituated to. Even a tortoise shell. There were strange sounds and, in the end, a nice tasting of strawberries, carrots, blueberries and some yellow peppers. Everything that dogs may eat and might or might not like. Why be boring. 😉

Finn's mom sent me this video where he is watching Bluey. Dogs see blues, yellows and greens more vividly, so he is really loving this and being deaf he does not need the sound. So grateful to be part of their journey.

This is Emma. She has the perfect SIT. Nothing can take her focus away from her person. And the second pic she is waiting for the go ahead to cross the road. So very proud of Emma and her mom.

MYTH: "Don’t take your puppy anywhere until they're fully vaccinated."

FACT: "The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of life. For this reason, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the *standard of care* for puppies to receive such socialization before they are fully vaccinated. Behavioral issues, not infectious diseases, are the number one cause of death for dogs under three years of age." (AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization)

FACT: If you wait until your puppy is full vaccinated, you've missed their critical socialization period.

Vets, rescues and breeders who are clinging to the outdated belief that dogs should be prevented from socialization until fully vaccinated are not keeping up with the current research, literature and recommendations from behavior professionals.

Congratulations to all my graduates completing the skill training course. And to Ben, he did his "exam" electronically. Love the commitment.
