In the latest Super Sniffers class, team Hugo were tackling food distractions in the search area and teams Bubbles and Megan were working through toy distractions.
The gamble that is autumn 😂

One of the games we like to play in Puppy School is the Puppy Okie Kokie.
This involves puppies learning to focus on their owners around other puppies and walk away. We also throw in the odd greeting so puppies learn they can say hi selectively rather than lunging towards every dog they see.
Do you give your dog ‘nib-nibs’ when they come over to play with you or am I just deranged? 😂
TRIGGER WARNING: animal carcass shown in this reel.
A dead deer washed up on the beach today. The dogs took off after a scent while on a walk which on the beach normally means something dead has washed up.
The dog’s nose is amazing, they were about 800m away when they caught the scent while I didn’t pick up the smell until about 100m away.
What’s not so amazing is Max ignoring my recall and rolling in deer guts. 🤢
Mantrailing Halloween special. A murder mystery.
What other excuse do you need to get out the blow-up doll? 😂

Everyone wants to say hi to the cute puppy, right?
Setting boundaries for both people and puppies is important for teaching puppies manners and ensure they are not over socialised.
Tonight’s class practiced setting these boundaries by either politely letting the other down and not allowing their puppy to be greeted, or to allow a greeting while teaching their puppy not to jump up.
This week in Puppy School we were looking at teaching pups an alternative to jumping up and how to greet people. ❤️
Another important exercise is empowering owners to advocate for their puppy and be comfortable saying no on occasion when someone wants to pet their pup.

Having multiple dogs with different exercise requirements overwhelming sometimes, especially as time seems to be the ever escaping commodity.
Jay just having a compromise for everybody can help maintain that harmony, such as choosing a walk with more active dogs can run freely and the more sedate dogs can try to slow pace so everyone is getting what they want.
Sunday, some dogs might have off for respite or even just enjoy a slow mooch around the block taking in all the sniffs.
You got this!

If you are dreading the idea of trying to keep your dog quiet after a spay or neuter, or from an injury, then Scentwork is your answer.
You don’t need anything fancy to teach this fun game, just some things to use to hide your dog‘s favourite reward in.
So why not give it a go?
