🩷🩵 BUSY BEES 🐝🩷🩵

We had a jam packed training day yesterday here at the Bark Park and we got to see these 4 absolute diamonds 💎

Lots to talk about and train which I will share some of over the coming week.

But it was an absolute pleasure to meet Muffin, Bear, Dougie & Lola.

Congratulations to their owners for a) seeking help as that's not always easy in the first place and b) being totally awesome owners accepting and understanding their own dogs feelings and how to move forward to help them.

These young ones are fluctuating in their emotions and training right now but will shine through now that we understand them a bit better.

Super proud of their owners 🫶

🩵 PATIENCE🩵

Honestly, sometimes dog training for the dog and sometimes us is boring! 😳

But patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude whilst waiting.

We live in a society of everything happening so quickly, we order from Amazon, boom it is there the next day. But when you are dealing with dogs who have emotions, feelings and other agendas, it's not that simple.

Especially dogs going through adolescence and dogs who struggle with interactions ( humans and dogs).

We need to tap into our inner ability to be patient and work alongside THEM and THEIR speed NOT OURS.

Yes, this can be inconvenient but if YOU was working through something and someone just kept telling you to hurry up, telling you off and making you do things you couldn't do or cope with, how would you feel?

Exactly....

Meet Tilly, the sweetest cutest Lhasa Apso 🫶

She is in prime adolescence, just like Bear the other day, and she is deciding that she can't hear you when you recall her 😳🙈

We have implemented some easy back to basic recall training and also what to do when it goes wrong and she doesn't listen.

Teenagers, like humans will have good and bad days so it is important to understand their emotional responses too.

She will get there 👊

🩷TRAINING TIP OF THE DAY🩷

The 3D's are used when we want to make sure a behaviour on cue becomes reliable no matter what 👊

They are :-

⏰ Duration
🛤️ Distance
🤹 Distraction

The main principles to use them are :-

🩵 Low & Slow - Start with them super low difficulty wise and build slow
🩵 Increase one at a time - if your are increasing duration, keep distraction low for example
🩵 If you increase your criteria/level then pay well for it! More rewards please!
🩵 Keep sessions short and fun

🩷 CUTE PUPPY ALERT 🩷

This is Lola, a 5 month old Doberman who is just the sweetest girl you could wish for.

She has had 2 sessions so far and she is absolutely smashing her training! 👊

She is going to be and already is an amazing ambassador for Doberman's.

All praise has to go to her owners though who are super skilled at understanding her and implementing her training from here at the Bark Park Training.

Honestly those ears though! 🫶 And her swishy toy face 🥰

Hope this has brightened your Tuesday morning with some puppy spam ☺️

⭐ TOP TIP ⭐

It is such a common mistake to make our training sessions too long.

Not only is it tiring for your dog but also for us!

Mentally there is a lot to think about so we should keep our training sessions short and snappy so everyone doesn't get bored!

Something to bare in mind when your dog starts to not respond 😉

💙 ADOLESCENCE 💙

Meet Bear 🐻

He is an 18 month old adolescent male rescue dog 🫶 who was displaying some unwanted behaviours to us but in his world, totally not a problem 🙈😅

He came to THE BARK PARK dog training yesterday to work on some skills that his adolescent brain had on the surface seemed like he had forgotten.

Adolescence (6 months - 2 years approx) can be a really tricky time for dogs to navigate, especially males and all their testosterone 🥴😳

So it is paramount we try and understand them and what each dog is going through and help them through this stage.

We worked on his recall and loose lead walking amongst other things and his owners were literally amazing at training him 👏👏

Understanding what he is going through at this age can really help reboot his training and help us to be compassionate and not get frustrated.

I think you will agree he is an absolute beaut and such a good poser 💙💙

TRUTH BOMB 💣

One of the first things I tell owners when they first work on recall is "Your dog will only come back to you if it's worth it!"

It hurts that your praise may not be good enough sometimes but we have to look at what your dog finds reinforcing, not what you think they find reinforcing.

This is definitely applicable for dogs that struggle around distractions in particular.

Finding out what is worth their while is sometimes the challenge.

But part of the fun 😁

Meet Bruno 💞

Please excuse the picture- his recall was so fast, it was hard to get a still of him! 🙈🤣

Bruno is only 20 weeks, I know, yes he is this big at 20 weeks! But what an absolute gentle giant 🫶

Bruno and his owners came to the Bark Park Dog Training just to implement some good foundations for recall and loose lead walking.

The bigger he gets, the stronger he will get, so kudos to his owners for forward thinking. It is much easier to prevent problems than it is to change them. Not that it can't be done. It just takes a little longer 💙

Huge congratulations to his owners 👏👏👏

Their training skills were on point and now it's a case of just implementing in lots of different situations.

Can't wait to see his progress 🩷
