Using a slip lead correctly is important for both the safety and comfort of your dog. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a slip lead:
1. **Choose the Right Slip Lead**: Ensure the slip lead is appropriate for the size and strength of your dog.
2. **Create a Loop**: Hold the slip lead by the handle and let the other end hang down to create a loop. The loop should be large enough to fit comfortably over your dog’s head.
3. **Position the Loop**: With the slip lead in your hand, slide the loop over your dog’s head, ensuring it sits high on the neck, just behind the ears. This position gives you better control and is more effective for training purposes.
4. **Adjust the Fit**: Adjust the loop so it is snug but not too tight. The lead should be tight enough to prevent slipping off but loose enough to be comfortable when the dog is walking calmly.
5. **Check the Stopper (if available)**: Some slip leads come with a stopper to prevent the loop from becoming too loose. Adjust the stopper so that it keeps the loop from expanding excessively.
6. **Hold the Lead Properly**: Hold the handle of the slip lead with a firm grip. Keep the lead relatively short, but not so tight that it is constantly pulling on the dog’s neck.
7. **Use Gentle Corrections**: When walking, use gentle corrections by giving a quick, slight tug on the lead if your dog starts to pull or misbehave. Immediately release the tension after the correction. The goal is to get your dog’s attention, not to cause discomfort.
8. **Positive Reinforcement**: Pair the use of the slip lead with positive reinforcement. Reward your dog with treats and praise for walking calmly and responding to your commands.
9. **Regular Checks**: Frequently check the position of the slip lead to ensure it remains high on the neck and is not causing discomfort.
10. **Safety Precautions**: Never leave a slip lead on an unattended dog, as it can pose a choking hazard. Also, avoid using slip leads on very young pup

Dogs have various instincts like play, exploration, and following.
We often walk them in play or exploration mode, leaving the following mode deactivated. It's crucial to activate it, establishing yourself as the leader.
Only then will your dog follow, as they seek a capable decision-maker.

If your puppy is peeing in their kennel, here are some tips to address the issue:
1. Proper Size Kennel: Ensure the kennel is appropriately sized. It should be big enough for the puppy to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably, but not so large that they can pee in one corner and sleep in another.
2. Frequent Bathroom Breaks: Take your puppy outside to pee frequently, especially after eating, drinking, waking up, or playing. Puppies have small bladders and need to go out often.
3. Establish Routine: Establish a consistent routine for feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks. Predictability helps puppies learn when to expect bathroom breaks.
4. Positive Reinforcement: Reward your puppy with praise or treats when they pee outside. Positive reinforcement encourages them to repeat the behavior.
5. Clean Accidents Thoroughly: Clean any accidents in the kennel thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner to remove any scent that might attract the puppy to pee in the same spot again.
6. Limit Water Before Bed: Limit your puppy’s access to water a couple of hours before bedtime to reduce the likelihood of accidents overnight.
7. Monitor Water Intake: Monitor your puppy’s water intake to ensure they are not drinking excessively, which could lead to more frequent urination.
8. Consult a Veterinarian: If the issue persists despite your efforts, consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical issues causing the problem.
Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are key when addressing potty training issues with puppies.

Our walk with our dogs should be enjoyable and a time to relax and connect, but more than often, it is an unwanted chore due to their reactivity or their constant pulling on the leash.
In this class, we will give you tools and strategies to better understand and communicate with your dog, manage reactivity, and over excitement so dogs don’t feel the need to pull or be reactive.

When we understand that dogs are a different species with different needs, we will be able to fulfill them better and, therefore, have a better behaved dog ✅
🔹Walking is an activity that is a given in other countries because the culture of understanding dogs is more organic and instinctual.
They understand that long walks are a MUST if you own a dog. WE have so much to learn, so let's walk our dogs‼️

Puppies must start socializing at an early age to promote a healthy development. His first encounters with other dogs are part of it. We need to ensure we do it with dogs that are mellow, calmer and socialized too in order to ensure a good imprint in the puppy on her first times.
