Puppies are always fun but this spotty one made my day today.

Loki worked on leash foundations around distractions (Leo) to see if he is ready for a group setting. He has amazing focus and is a quick learner so we are looking forward to seeing him participate in the group session this Sunday.

One of the most common behaviours I work on is loose leash walking. The most effective way I work on this is with a long line.

Using a long line removes the back pressure (which encourages pulling) and gives the dog more room for error. When working on any exercise start easy and slowly increase the difficulty. It also shows you pretty quickly, does the dog want to be in your space? Are they aware of your spacial presence and follow you without any verbal cues? Are they even motivated for the reward your offering?

Gypsy here loved the freedom of using a 10m long line to work on recalls and loose leash walking.

My goal with socialisation isn't saying hello to everyone you come across but having a neutral dog that can look at everyone passing by and remaining calm.

I don't think "being socialised" is ever someting that is finished but is continually being evolved and changed by every interaction.

💢 Scent Detection 💢

So we're giving this a go, Elsie loves it.

Scent detection is interesting and challenging. It allows dogs to work independently and is biologically fulfilling. It's also something all dogs can enjoy regardless of size, age or physical fitness.

Getting some puppy love. 💕

Puppy development should involve lots of play in lots of different environments 🌿. We should be rewarding puppy's for engaging with us regardless of what's going on in the background. 🐕

Keep sessions short (5 to 10min) and leaving the puppy wanting more. Let them win! Make play fun and see if they bring the toy back to re-engage play. This is what we are looking for. 🐶

When should you start training with your puppy???

On day one. Teaching your puppy what life looks like at home should start straight away. Some of these can include
🔹️What they are allowed to chew on. Allow them somthing, bones or treats are great. 🔹️What bed time looks like, the use of crates are perfect.
🔹️Where to go to the toilet, show your puppy. Go outside with them after eating or drinking and a couple of times a night while they are really young.
🔹️What meal time looks like. This is a perfect time to do some position training, sits, downs and walking on a lead. Use their meals as rewards.

When your puppy is extra excited this is also a great indicator your puppy is ready for a training session. Use their energy to your advantage.
