Hobbes the Hound Help with Recalls, Focus, Loose-leash walking, House-training, Lunging, Barking, Counter surfing, Confidence building, Training, Enrichment, Games & Tricks

My journey with changing a dog's behaviour through Games started a few years back when we adopted Bogart as an adult rescue from a shelter. He had quite a few issues when he came to us and when I eventually came across Games as a way of training to improve his behaviour, everything changed for the better. We developed a great bond and I was finally able to help him (and me)! Emotions drive Behavio

ur - how your dog feels toward something, will determine their reaction. If they don't have the skills to cope, they will react inappropriately. You can up-skill your dog by working on specific Skills (also called Concepts) of which there are many, such as Recall, Focus, Calm, Disengagement from distractions (lunging, barking) and Re-Engagement with you, Optimism, Confidence, Independence, Proximity (staying closer to you) and more, by playing short behaviour-changing Games making it a positive, interactive and fun way to train, build and repair your relationship, and change your dog's underlying emotions and thereby their behavioural outcome in situations. Learning through Play is powerful and long-lasting. These Games are for any breed, any age, any problem behaviour issues.

🐾 Building Confidence and Mental stimulation.... Cardboard Chaos game.... Scatter feeding in amongst cardboard boxes creates a good association with something that can be scary for some dogs... Zoe isn't confident to stick her head into boxes and small wins like getting a biscuit or treat when the box moves is actually a big win for her in realising she can do it! You can add paper, plastic bottles and other safe objects for them to nose through as they get better at it.....all the different sounds and objects moving while they're winning and finding treats/kibble builds confidence - Let them go at their own pace and push them, just encourage! #Zoe #HobbestheHound #DogBehaviourist #COAPEqualifiedDogBehaviourist #ChangingBehaviourThroughGames #AdultRescues2ndChanceInLife #StraysToStars #AnimalTails #AnimalTailsAnticsOnSet #@animaltails18 @animal_tails_film_ #DogActors #FilmDogs #SouthAfricanFilmIndustry #CapeTownFilmIndustry #FilmDogsCapeTown #RescueDogs #AnimalWranglersCapeTown #DogsInCommercials

🐾 Teaching Object Names to Pixie - Part 2... Use very different names.....I've called the grey soft toy "fluffy" and "ball" Mental stimulation....it's fun to try, dogs learn and enjoy regardless of whether they "get it", builds relationship together and mental stimulation tires and calms your dog... Then ask them to Go Find (toy)...great way to relax your dog for the evening or before going out #Pixie #HobbestheHound #DogBehaviourist #COAPEqualifiedDogBehaviourist #ChangingBehaviourThroughGames #AdultRescues2ndChanceInLife #StraysToStars #AnimalTails #AnimalTailsAnticsOnSet #@animaltails18 @animal_tails_film_ #DogActors #FilmDogs #SouthAfricanFilmIndustry #CapeTownFilmIndustry #FilmDogsCapeTown #RescueDogs #AnimalWranglersCapeTown #DogsInCommercials
