Follow The Leader Dog Training

My students become like family and when you lose a family member, it is never easy 😔

Today we lost sweet Lola. I am so thankful to have been a part of her journey with the best doggy parents that she could have asked for. She brought joy and was so well loved.

Lola will be missed 💜 Hug your fur babies in her honor.

Kongs and silicone mats are wonderful tools which I highly recommend.

A lot of us use peanut butter to fill them up which is also great - but make sure you check the ingredients and beware of xylitol!

Games work!!

Personal experience today:

Our dogs just got all riled up by this black cat that roams the neighborhood, including through our yard.

So we came inside and played games for about 3 minutes in the hallway - Orientation, Funder, Tornado and Typhoon along with some Sits, Downs, Shakes and Sit Pretty’s thrown in.

And then like magic, this is what happens afterward with zero prompting from anyone…

Rainy days are here!! ☔️

Wondering how you’re going to keep your dog entertained?

I’m here to help! You can play GAMES inside the house to exercise your dog’s body AND brain!

Just a few minutes of games like The Name Game, Orientation, Tornado and Proximity Chase can bring so many benefits.

Wanna know more?? Just send me a message!

Great info about dog parks! There are plenty of other ways we can exercise our pups and keep our relationship positive 🐾

🐾 Wondering why skipping the 🐶 dog park 🌳 might be a good choice? Here's why:

1️⃣ Individual Attention: One-on-one time strengthens your bond and ensures you can focus on your dog's needs and body language signals.

2️⃣ Avoiding Risks: Bypass potential altercations with unfamiliar dogs or the spread of diseases and parasites. Conflict with other dog owners can happen, too, when the dynamics of the dogs in the park aren’t matching up and facilitating appropriate interactions. This is too often the case. 🐾

3️⃣ Controlled Environment: Choose the surroundings and stimuli, minimising unexpected stressors or distractions so that your dog can make better choices.

4️⃣ Tailor Exercise and Enrichment Opportunities: Customise activities based on your dog's age, breed, and health needs. Encouraging other activities that meet their biological needs is important. Hiking, canicross, scent work, sniffaris and more are alternatives.

5️⃣ Build Confidence: Without the pressure of the dog park dynamics, you can work on progressing with your games based training plan at your own pace, with less frustration and more real life results.

Prioritise your dog's comfort and well-being over popular dog hangouts. It's quality, not quantity, that counts! Your dog benefits more from controlled, uneventful fun than most experiences they might have at a dog park. 🐶❤️

Is your family looking for a sweet, energetic Goldendoodle?

One of my clients has made the tough decision to rehome this pup due to family circumstances. I have worked with them a few times and she has made good progress.

Her name is Winnie and she’s 11 months old.

Please PM me if you are interested 💜🐾
