It was all going great until…

This is a huge complaint I get about dogs.

It came out of nowhere! Erm…actually…it didn’t.

Stress builds up over time and the signals are being sent out continuously.

We just don’t know how to listen, and we don’t know how to act.

Fortunately, the Brainery is for you! The algorithm says so!

Now rest your thumb and read on.

In dog training circles worth their weight, the common tell of a good trainer is how a dog walks (Heels) with them.

And that is why so much of our training centers on the Heel.

Recall is easy when the Heel is solid!

Stay is a little more tricky, since they want to be with you.

But when you have a system that your dog understands, that’s when everything becomes gravy.

Did anyone order a pup with extra crazy?

Ive got pups with an extra shot of crazy here…someone help me!!!!

Training includes Heel, upping distractions, lowering difficulty.

Enrichment includes the short tunnel. We’ll get to the long tunnel soon enough :-)

For Socialisation…we have crazy fun with an occasional “rest” period…some doggos prefer a more active recovery period 🤪🤪🤪

What’s your dog doing while you’re at work? This is what our do:

Did you know the Brainery includes ENRICHMENT sessions?

We have a bunch of activities that we like doing. One of those is doggy stunts like these. Having 1 dog jump over 1 or more dogs.

This takes a bunch of juggling, treat dealing and foundational work to get started. Because this presents a high risk move by the jumping dog and a great deal of trust, patience and confidence in the lying down dog.

It can be incredibly tense all that concentration, so we make sure to break the sessions up with playtime and afterwards we chill together.

Literally, work, rest and play.

This was not the day we had planned with BB getting shipped to hospital!

A massively reduced attendance today as we pivot - small business are apparently great at that - and spread the lurve across the week.

The Brainery Bus got picked up to go to hospital and have the airbags sorted out.

Bowie has picked up some major speed again. His first day was all light speed and his Waist Deep slowed him down

Why? Because he learned that he need not compensate. He is allowed to be him. But…not all of him.

The overly boisterous Bowie is allowed to come to school. We can’t be stealing balls and posturing around classmates 😂

Kairos is loving 1-1 time with the Nelliephant and shes not exactly disappointed either 🤣

Freya and Ginnie brought their jumping boots and are getting some serious airtime 🥾 🪽

The dogs are cooked and so is my phone with all the highlights!

The Alfnado is hammered after helping mum celebrate her birthday with some extra demanding cuddles 😆

Flynn is petrified of Khan and learning that Red Cattledogging isnt needed on Campus 😅

Goose and Sonny are too busy playing with the sloppiest tennis ball too care much about…well anything else really 🎾

Hanky Tanky is learning to leap into the tug toy like Superman after Alex Luthor 🦸‍♂️

Glory Rory is especially fun today! With that big cheeky toothless smile of hers 😇

We worked a metric tonne on Khans refusal to “get up” on stuff. His refusal to get in the car is annoying as he’s such a huge unit. But it has generalized to “get up” on your bed too. So we taught it…again…hyped it up and finished with his nemesis: The bridge too far…‘cept this time…he got up over and over again!

Little Fluffy Sunny believe recall means stay away and lead tension should be escaped. Naturally…we learn different at Campus. Learning that the lead gives direction removed Sunnies emotional response to object and promoted the thought to go with.

PS: Kahn and Sunnies walking is ACE!!!!

Tricks aren’t just for giggles! They serve a big purpose. Here why:

Chasing a ball is fun, doing tricks is fun. Seeing your dog perform is fun. Working together is fun.

But when you dive deeper into they why…

Our culture concentrated too much on stamina and too little on strength.

Building explosive movements builds muscle and a strong heart.

Developing rear end and thoracic strength AND control helps in later life and works to prevent. injuries.

Developing health and well-being isnt all about wobble boards and balls. It’s about preparing for and developing controlled powerful movements and holding them in position.

That strong healthy body leads to a resilient healthy brain. And that my Barefooters builds a happy dog-home!

After the long weekend…the blow up!

Just like us dogs have emotions and tolerance levels.

Some dogs come to school for a respite from a busy lifestyle, some come to learn how to be a dog, some come for behavioural growth.

And then there’s days like today…where good plans are cast aside and changing needs are met 😇

All dogs needed their timeout from home today and they will be sleeping with dreamy twitches tonight 😆🤣

HAPPY PEOPLE AND HAPPY DOGS

Dog training is not 100% obedience
Behaviour Modification is not 100% reinforcement.

The types of activities performed in pursuit of skill and behaviour work matter as much as handling skills.

Working on a students independent performance in disposable “tricks” is just as important as teaching them to Recall.

Building your dogs trust and love for enjoyment WITH you is a critical piece of the puzzle.
