Sharing because I feel it is a A good point well-made, it's one of those questions that needs highlighting and answering, problems don't go away unless you actively address them!

⭐️⭐️Chase⭐️⭐️

(Photo provided by his owner! As I’m super rubbish at remembering to take them during sessions 🤦🏼‍♀️)

Fabulous dog! Lives up to his name though - bikes, cars, lorries, cats etc…. Lots of on lead reactivity!

Chase is an 18 month old rescue (picked up very young as a stray) He was adopted out of a large organisation shelter. He was sent to his new owners void of any training or management plan - told to just avoid his triggers as they had been doing!!!

There was an offer of using their ‘behaviourist telephone service’ This service didn’t provide any effective or beneficial advice either 🙄

Luckily, his fantastic owners weren’t deterred by the behaviour and still continued the adoption process 💖

I suppose my point is this - how many dogs are currently sat in shelters, becoming more and more non adoptable by the day? More and more depressed, shut down? Frustrated and psychologically damaged?

All while we sit at home watching their advertising campaigns on TV - asking for more donations to ‘help’ the dogs in their rescue centres! To what purpose are the donations being applied to?

Questions should be raised and answered!

Millions of pounds each year are donated 😠 Their ‘behaviourists’ are on the payroll, yet a young dog like Chase, leaves their care without successful rehabilitation - Why?

Anyway! Fortunately for Chase (and many like him) Successful training can be accessed by responsible owners who look past the BS and ideology 🙌🏼

Here’s to the beginning of his actual training journey 🥳

Just a ‘Stop and Think’ post. I was scrolling through and noticed a post (photo on left) that basically on first glance, states ‘if my dog is eating grass, it’s in need of my help to supplement its diet’. Then you look at the pic and think ‘I should be giving my dog eggs and milk’ however, I am very aware that the majority of dogs are lactose intolerant and so milk isn’t a good idea. Iv fed dogs on a very varied raw diet, Iv fed dogs on top quality kibble, Iv fed dogs on a mix of both, and most of them at one point or another have eaten grass, so I will stick to my opinion, that some dogs simply eat grass, maybe they simply like it 🤔 Research and never jump to conclusions from a photo or a post 👍 just saying 😁👍

Engaged, Focused, Cooperative dog in a nutshell >>>

1/ Hand feed all your dogs food for Engagement, Focus, Cooperation.

2/ Always have two identical interactive toys (balls on ropes / tugs, avoid at all cost toys that squeak) so your dog never has a toy better than yours, as yours is the same as theirs and yours is always more fun, due to you playing with them and creating more fun with it.

Focus , Engagement , Cooperation all boil down to the same principle, that you have something your dog wants / needs, and your dog has a clear understanding that the only way to get it, is to Engage with you, Focus on the task, Cooperate with your expectations 👍

All you need to know to create this with videos & Articles etc on how we create a focused and engaged dog. All using Food, Fun, Friendship 👍

Videos , Webinars, Articles to help modify dog behaviour issues.

Well done Jax and handler, looking after the community as she was meant to 🐕💪👍

Last night PD Jax tracked from the scene of a decamp to a road nearby, where after some enquiries the offender was located inside one of the houses, linking offender to the vehicle. One male arrested for very serious offences.

Play is training , always teaching / learning something 🐕

‘Rough contact acceptance’ - ‘bite / impulse control’ - ‘distraction control’ - ‘physical / mental resilience building’ - ‘engagement benefits’ etc etc etc if you just ‘free walk’ your dog, where you simply follow it around while it ignores you and interacts with its environment, then ‘in my opinion’, you are missing and loosing out on the best part of bonding with your dog, so I always advise Owner Engagement over Environment Engagement 🐕👍

Dog Intros
So I started with the usual calm intro through the gate (as seen in previous video) and once both dogs were calm and neutral towards each other, I opened the gate 🤞
I never advise just letting dogs ‘get on with it’, as if it goes wrong, it tends to escalate much quicker with less response from the dogs to your control.
Slow steady intros rarely go wrong if you are focused on the dogs behaviour towards each other, and when introducing dogs in the early stages, I always advise keeping your mouth shut 🤫 🤐 as the dogs are already taking in lots of signals / information and trying to process it rationally, so all you do by chitter chatter is muddy the waters !

So started working on Blues voluntary engagement when he has the prize (ball), and keeping an eye on the frustration / stimulation level.

So this was a more ‘open’ meeting for Blue with Old Boy Jinski. The whole session was about an hour long and this is a short video of it, as there was lots of the same stuff so not to bore you. It all went well, with no signs of a problem. I’m never in a rush for this stage, as if you rush and things go wrong for any reason, it can take twice as long to fix any conflict created. Calm controlled introductions are a must. Once I’m sure all is good between Blue and Jinski, Blue will go through the same process with my higher energy dogs Gas and Pink.

06/06/2024

So at the moment, 3 things are happening for Blue.

1/ calming down the stimulation and so reducing the effect on stress levels.
2/ creating new trust bridges.
3/ learning to earn a living.

I see people in to much of a rush to stimulate new dogs (create fun), take them on walks, create Meet & Greets, push push push the process before the dog has even had time to acclimatise’, so I always recommend, when starting to change behaviour responses, make sure you keep stimulation to a very low level. Give the dog room to information process. Here is myself and Blue going through this process nice and steady 👍 🐢

Miss Pink at the village event, practicing her ‘Neutral’ mindset towards her environment.
We always start every new scenario with Focused Engagement, and then progressively relax the criteria and let her chill into it.

⛔️⛔️ NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS AIMED AT BREEDER, OWNER, VET⛔️⛔️

So I ended last Friday with one more dog than I started it with 🤔 a dog that until Friday I didn’t know existed 😂 🐕

I was all set to pick up a Rotty on Sunday that was in need of a change of location, however, this little chaps need was greater, and I would like to thank the Rotty owner for being understanding as their dog is in a safe environment already.

I won’t get into the ins and outs of dog rescue, as iv been doing it for years, and my views are very unpopular 😂😂

DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE, it will make life easier all round.

This video is not a witch hunt for the Breeder, or the Owner, or the Vet, it’s simply to highlight the problems that can occur when inadequate knowledge or experience for the basic decision making process in getting, raising or giving care.
