Dotty Dogs

Dotty Dogs We use fun 3 minute games to train concepts like self-control optimism and focus that shape your dog

My name is Hannelie Le Roux and I’m a Dog Trainer working in Houston Texas. I have two beautiful fur babies myself - Bindi is the older one she is a 5 yrs old Border Collie that joined our family in Australia and she came with us to Texas when we moved. She is of course clever and quick and a lot of fun to work with. She is also a little overly vigilant, hmmm wonder why and can be shy, cautious a

nd noise sensitive. My second child is Bertie, a Corgi that we got from a wonderful breeder here in Texas, he is the loud, pushy funny one in the family and gets away with murder due to his considerable amount of cuteness. He is super driven to work and train, however he too has a little struggle. It was apparent from day one that he was a resource guarder and didn’t like things being taken away. Working with Bindi and Bert to overcome their struggles and all the dogs I have had through the years before them has taught me a lot, it drove me to keep learning and finding the best and latest methods to help my dogs and dogs of my clients. I realised about 9 years ago that this was my passion I wanted to work with people and their dogs. Helping people understand their dogs and puppies better so they can have the best relationships possible and have their dog owning journey be all they want it to be. I completed a 1 year course at local College in Australia and did the Industry Accredited Dog trainer course and the Pro Dog Trainer course through Absolute Dogs UK. I am constantly doing various courses to further my knowledge and stay up to date. If you are looking for training or enrichment, message me so we can book a chat - I would love to help you and your dog learn the Gamechanger way!

Interesting info, I definitely give my dogs spinach, cucumber, blueberries, carrots and the odd egg? What do you add to your dogs diet.

The most controversial topic when it comes to feeding your pet! 😾🗯

Despite arguments against it, mixing raw with kibble is not only safe but scientists in Finland have found adding some fresh food to your dog’s ultra-processed food can add significant health benefits. Several studies have found adding a small amount of raw or fresh food to your pet’s bowl can reduce inflammatory markers associated with several diseases, including IBD, allergies, and cancer. So next time you're preparing a healthy meal for you and your family, add some fresh food from your refrigerator to your pet's bowl as well! 🐶🥩🥦

Today in the Inside Scoop, the Rawpetmedics (Dr. Nick Thompson, Dr. Brendan Clarke, and Dr. Conor Brady) are joining me to discuss the do’s✅ and don’ts❌ of feeding your pet a raw food diet and help dispel some raw food myths and fears.

We’ll also be covering topics like:
🔥How to get started with raw
🔥Balancing with whole foods vs supplements
🔥The impact of bad quality meat on dogs and the environment
🔥How to make your pet’s water better

Whether you’re new to feeding fresh food or you’re an experienced raw feeder, you won’t want to miss this episode! Join us today at noon ET for this lively discussion! Looking forward to seeing your questions in the chat! 🙌

🔦Spotlight on… OPTIMISM🔦

EVERYTHING in your dog’s world could be good or bad, friendly or scary, depending on their level of optimism. If your dog is worried or startled by new things in their environment and reacts towards them either actively (barking, lunging, pulling on leash) or passively (freezing, staring at the distraction, trying to hide behind you) – they need an injection of optimism!

If your dog could do with an optimism boost, make sure you include some of the following into your games plan this week:

🌟DMT
🌟Knock Em Over
🌟Cardboard Chaos
🌟Novelty Surprise Party
🌟Magic Cave
🌟Crazy Lady Game

Have you considered what food you are using to help train your dog?

At Absolute Dogs, we use a method called Ditch the Bowl, in which our dogs earn their daily food allowance as training rewards, passive calmness activities or whenever we notice them making great choices.

Ditching the bowl also helps you take control of your dog’s food intake and how long your training sessions will be. To learn more about Ditch the Bowl, grab our FREE eBook.

Jumping up can drive you crazy. Here’s a game to start your training with! 💗🐶💗

Dogs that jump up on owners or visitors is one of the biggest struggles many dog owners face. Teaching a dog that keeping all four paws on the floor is more valuable is the key to success. Watch Tom and Lauren transform a very bouncy Golden Retriever called Mango in a short training session. These are the beginning steps to overcome jumping using management and positive reward.

Struggles with potty training, check out the tips below! For all things puppy, call Hannelie 281 665 0945. I'm passionate about helping people get their journey and relationship with their puppies started the right way! Helping you to grow a calm, confident puppy and dog.
(I'm an Absolute Dogs certified Pro Dog Trainer. Also AKC certified CGC evaluator).

It is never too early to start potty training your puppy when they come home. In fact, being consistent within the first couple of weeks is vital. What are some ways you can create a less stressful, toilet training experience for both yourself and your puppy?

TIP #1
Make sure that your puppy cannot go off anywhere out of sight so that you can watch for “I need to go” behaviours such as circling, excessive sniffing, sudden disinterest in play with you or their toys, and more.

TIP #2
Take your puppy out frequently, especially after naps, 10-15 minutes of active play, 30-45 minutes of restful chewing or playing with toys quietly, 15-20 minutes after eating, and after any consistent intake of water.

TIP #3
Never restrict your puppy access to water. Instead, make sure water is freely available as restriction can lead to a UTI or dehydration. Keep an eye on your pup’s water intake. If your puppy is very thirsty and peeing frequently, have your puppy checked out for any underlying medical conditions that might prevent potty training success.

TIP #4
Put your puppy’s pottying on cue. You will start to recognise when your puppy is going to need to go, so just as you place them down and when you expect them to go, say the cue you want to use “Hurry Up”, for example. Repeat until they go and then reward AFTER they’ve finished toileting so that you don’t interrupt it and they end up going again once inside (that’s no fun!).

TIP #5
Vary the surface you have your puppy potty on. You never know where life will lead you and it can be such a useful skill for a dog to be able to go no matter what surface (i.e. gravel, grass, peastone, concrete, etc.)

Need more puppy help? We dive into puppy solutions on household manners, on-lead success and off-leash freedom, as well as growing your puppy’s confidence and optimism in our AbsolutePuppy course.

Welcome to Dotty Dogs Training

My name is Hannelie Le Roux and I’m a Dog Trainer working in Houston Texas. I have two beautiful fur babies myself - Bindi is the older one she is a 5 yrs old Border Collie that joined our family in Australia and she came with us to Texas when we moved. She is of course clever and quick and a lot of fun to work with. She is also a little overly vigilant, hmmm wonder why and can be shy, cautious and noise sensitive. My second child is Bertie, a Corgi that we got from a wonderful breeder here in Texas, he is the loud, pushy funny one in the family and gets away with murder due to his considerable amount of cuteness. He is super driven to work and train, however he too has a little struggle. It was apparent from day one that he was a resource guarder and didn’t like things being taken away. Working with Bindi and Bert to overcome their struggles and all the dogs I have had through the years before them has taught me a lot, it drove me to keep learning and finding the best and latest methods to help my dogs and dogs of my clients.

I realised about 9 years ago that this was my passion I wanted to work with people and their dogs. Helping people understand their dogs and puppies better so they can have the best relationships possible and have their dog owning journey be all they want it to be. I completed a 1 year course at local College in Australia and did the Industry Accredited Dog trainer course and the Pro Dog Trainer course through Absolute Dogs UK. I am constantly doing various courses to further my knowledge and stay up to date.

With our move to Houston it took a while to get settled and sort out all the legal stuff but I’ve recently been able to launch my own business and am excited to see what the future holds for Dotty Dogs in Texas. I offer, 1-2-1 training consults, online or in person. As the situation changes with the Corona virus that has us all locked down right now, I will expand to group classes and workshops too. Whether your dog has a particular struggle or you are just looking for ways to enrich your dog’s life, I’d be happy to tailor a plan that’s just right for you. Helping owners to start their puppies off on the best foot is one of my favourite things to do.

📷I can help you train your dog the usual - come, sit, stay and some much more! I work in the land of concept training and use games to shape your dog’s brain so that we will make the right choice in any situation. So often people go to training classes where their dogs perform well but the minute they are out in the big wide world with all it’s distractions their dog just ignores them! That’s why we train the brain and not behaviours. If you are looking for training or enrichment, message me so we can book a chat - I would love to help you and your dog learn the Gamechanger way!
