Dinner time made fun!! We’re all about mental enrichment here.. and this puzzle feeder is my absolute personal fav for my own dogs. You can deliver their dinner through it, making them work for it, or simply fill with treats. This egg shaped toy makes them use their brain, nose and paws to get the goods. 🐾 for LESS than £10… https://amzn.eu/d/gYA069F
Practicing on the “Focus” command.. 💞 this is an absolute favourite of mine personally, I find it’s such a great thing to teach a dog that can be applied to so many different scenarios. Lots of people use “Watch Me” or “Look” in a similar format, but whatever word you use or how you say it, this command is so good at encouraging dog and handler engagement and is such an aid in being able to remain confident and in control. Especially when dealing with potentially reactive or difficult behaviours. Emrys got lots of treats for sitting and being good when not only was a dog approx 3 metres away barking behind a fence, but a couple with a pram were passing and there was sheep in the field behind us. #focus #dogtraining #practicemakesperfect #reavtivity #dogslife #dinnertimefun #dogwalking
✨ SNUFFLE MATS ✨ Riley demonstrating yet another nifty trick his mum pulled out of the bag to spice up his daily dinner time! Snuffle mats are a great way to add enrichment to your dogs routine, they help slow down fast eaters, force your dog to engage it’s brain (and nose!) and thus by encouraging the use of their sense of smell, can actually help reduce anxiety and burn energy. “Sniffing” is an incredibly stress relieving activity for a dog and a good outlet. #snufflemat #dogtraining #reactivedog #snuffle #sniffandexplore #dinnertimefun #mentalenrichmentfordogs
That day Derek the Frenchie joined us for a walk whilst his mum was busy busy and caught up with work! 🐾 Derek has a history of misbehaving with other male dogs but as you can see we had a wonderful time, he was on his best behaviour, testing him with the trusty Gus.. and even worked on some engagement. Not the best footage but he’s still one of the cutest frenchies I ever did meet! 💞#frenchbulldog #dogwalking #besties
Mental Enrichment! Did you know a lot of “problem” behaviours can display because a dogs mental, physical and emotional needs are not being met..? Very often you have to go back to basics and address every little thing from the bottom to the top. Dogs have a much more complex psychology than most pet owners will acknowledge or give them credit for! There are so many ways in which you can mentally challenge and enrich your dogs lifestyle on a day to day basis, for increasing overall quality of life and satisfaction, but spicing up dinner time is one of them! Not forgetting to mention how we can change a once “boring affair” into an interactive “bonding” one! Check out things like kongs, puzzle feeders and snuffle mats.. change it up.. make dinner time a fun session, or even a training one - here is Riley showing enthusiasm for his new dinner time toy - his mum is wonderful at keeping up with her home work. This is only the beginning!😜⭐️💞🐶 #dogbehaviour #reactivity #mentalenrichment #boredombusters #dinnertimefun #snufflemats #games #caninetraining
