✨Welcome to the Primed Pack Nico✨
A 10 month old Labradoodle who is his mom's sidekick!
We are working on a basics refresher course for this big puppy.
Today he was showing us a positive association to his name while playing the NAME GAME and a display of willpower waiting for his owner to release from his SIT with a release word.
Way to go Nico!

CRUNCH 💥 sound up!
Chewing is a decompression outlet that all dogs need throughout their day. A good 20-30 minutes of chewing after a stimulating activity or before crate time allows your dog to self-soothe and calm their bodies.
This prevents overstimulation and anxiety.
If you have a teething puppy, give them a chew or some frozen produce to help soothe them.
Anything dehydrated works best as it's one simple ingredient and usually a tasty meat (beef trachea, chicken neck, fish skin).

Way to go Uno!!

Agility 🪜🎽
This is a great way to boost your pups confidence and to improve that bond between dog & owner.
It's also a great way to get puppies interested in new objects #socialization
You can make your own agility equipment (pvc pipes, old tires, a playroom tunnel).
Start with one piece at a time (jump, tunnel, weave) and then add them all together!

An uber-lovey hound mix needed some #dogtrainingtips on how to walk better on a leash.
We have also started working on some house manners so he can be the bestest boy 🐾💜 when greeting guests!
Shout-out to his owner for keeping his training #fun and #engaging 📣

Working on confidence building and reminding our pal Izzy that she has back feet!
Sometimes these larger puppies (Izzy is only 16 months) forget that they have four paws instead of two 🐾🐾 Agility courses help them to build #confidence around new objects and to help them focus on their #walking skills

3 quick tips for training with your dog!
1. Have flexibility in your schedule - dogs are notorious for picking up on patterns and some develop OCD about their feeding or walking. Switch it up and keep them guessing!
2. Keep training short and #engaging - most adult dogs don't have the capacity to do more than 15-20 minutes of training at a time. It's even less with young puppies who can barely make it past ten minutes! Make sure your session times are age appropriate and don't forget to be fun 😜
3. Use all #opportunities to train - any outing can be used for training. A trip to Home Depot or an outdoor restaurant should be used to work on training you've mastered at home

BODY LANGUAGE
Sienna + Deuce
This is their first interaction together and we wanted to make sure they were displaying the proper play language.
1. They both do the PLAY BOW and then chase each other
2. Their bodies are relaxed and mouths are open
3. Tail is neutral or slightly raised in excitement
4. Chase is done by both parties willingly
This is the type of body language you want your dog to display when meeting a new friend. If either one of them showed more than this, we would have separated them immediately.

LEASH WALKING 🐕🦺
For this week, we are focusing on loose leash walking. This video shows Sienna walking on loose leash while her owner remains calm but also aware.
A walk with your pup can be pleasant but you should also take the time to make it structured. Give them commands during the walk that you have worked on before (SIT, WAIT, FREE) and use them throughout the walk.
A good mindful walk can do wonders for an energetic pup #workingwalk

MAKING FRIENDS When you're looking to introduce your puppy to another dog, make sure it's in an area where they can be off leash. It's easier to explore each other without being attached to a leash. Look for signs like both puppies show in this video: play bow, playing chase and equal amount of winning.

Stuffed toys are a great way to keep a puppy engaged and calm at the same time.
It's what we trainers like to call ACTIVE RECOVERY.
Active recovery is a chill time for puppy that stimulates their brains. It tires them out and gets them ready for a nap 😴
Winston here is showing us his best ACTIVE RECOVERY pose 💗🧘♀️
