Fun In The Sun ☀️

Adolescent Dogs Class going through the equipment.
This is such a fun way to start class: The obstacle course encourages bonding between dogs and their owners, provides mental and physical stimulation, promotes focus and improves the dog's coordination & confidence.

Look at those tails wagging! 😀🥰

Puppy 2 classes take place on Mondays at 5pm at the Noordhoek Football club. If you'd like to join: 0818513330 www.ludovicabarnato.co.za

This is Digy, a 5 years old Rottweiler. I was called in to address his aggressive behaviour towards visitors and dogs. I will be working with him for the next few weeks and will post exercises and (hopefully 😅) progress here. ✌️

I am so proud of my client and her dog Rosie! Rosie was extremely fearful when we started working together a few months ago. She used to lunge and bark at everyone and everything. In fact, she was very scared of me as well.

She has made huge progress and can now relax in a busy environment (wind, children playing in the school field, people, dogs).

To achieve this level of relaxation a few months ago was unthinkable! Well done to Rosie and her mama Chase

This is Grace, a lovely mixed breed pup. She is 9 months old. She is a very high energy and excitable adolescent dog but you can see how focused she is here while practising "leave it". This is a great impulse control exercise that teaches your pup that not everything in the world is theirs for the taking.

To teach "Leave It" you will need high value treats as well as low value treats and a clicker.

Step 1: Hold the low value treat on the floor covered by your hand. In your other hand hold a high value treat. Let your pup smell the lower value treat covered by your hand. As soon as your pup looks away/moves away/stops sniffing the hand covering your low value treat, click and reward with the high value treat.

Step 2: Repeat a few times and as your pup looks away from your low value treat add the verbal cue "leave it!". This helps your dog associating the behaviour with the verbal cue.

Step 3: Start increasing the value of the treat on the floor.

Step 4: Raise the criteria: Place the high value treat uncovered on the floor, then click and reward for leaving it. Drop the high value treat on the floor while saying "leave it" and click and treat. You can even place your high value treats on your dog's paws and ask for a "Leave it".

Happy Training

Treats falling from the sky 💫

This is Kalinka, a stunning Akita dog. This breed was originally used to guard royalty in feudal Japan and to hunt bears. Strong willed and powerful, Akitas can be intimidating.

It is my first time training an Akita and I am absolutely loving it! Kalinka is responding very well to force-free training & positive reinforcement and learning very quickly.

She would probably prefer to hunt deers but she is quite happy to walk nicely on leash next to us 😉

After welcoming our second child 3 months ago, I am now slowly resuming behaviour consultations & training.

I couldn't have asked for a better way to start training again than to work with this gorgeous, sweet girl 🥰

It was such a pleasure to chat to Absolute Pets about the most common behavioural problems in dogs 🐾

Understanding our pets and providing for them is an ongoing journey; and along the way you may experience some behavioural challenges.

We chatted to two experts in the ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR field, Justine Kruger from Just Dogs Behaviour and Ludovica Barnato Dog Behaviourist & Trainer, and asked them about the most common behaviour challenges they come across in cats and dogs. 🐾🐾

🤓Read the article here: [https://bit.ly/AP_AnimalBehaviour]

A big thank you to both Justine and Ludovica for their insight and advice!

Lilly, the Boston Terrier in this "cuddle puddle" photo was very reactive to other dogs, people and was generally very anxious.

Thanks to Lilly's mom commitment and positive attitude, appropriate behaviour modification and the help of the wonderful Dr Candice Cooper at Gardens Pet Clinic & Spa, Lilly's behaviour changed completely. She is now so relaxed around other dogs that she even managed to fall asleep next to them!

Our Story

I am a qualified behaviourist and trainer (AdipCBM) and I offer one on one private training and behaviour consultations for puppies and adult dogs.

To me, dogs are amazing creatures that should be treated with kindness and respect. I believe in scientific, force free and reward based training methods as a way of establishing and promoting a great relationship with our pets.
