We know all puppies mouth, after all it’s one of the ways they explore.. but there are definitely times where it seems like it’s all they want to do!

👉 Have a look at a few of the reasons why you may see an increase in mouthing.

Having chews, enrichment/toy options and places where you can separate your puppy if needed so they can have some down time will really help you through the sharp teeth phase!

Let us know if you have any questions 😊

Dogs are dogs …. Surprisingly enough …

How are dogs behave can be frustrating at times but can all be brought down a notch with a little simple training. However it’s important to remember to understand why they do things, why does my greyhound want to chase rabbits? Why does my Staffordshire Bull Terrier want to grab everything ? Or why does my Akita bark all the time? … this is all to do with the breed they are and it’s the same for many dogs so it’s our job to understand that is natural for them to want to do this… they are dogs 🐾🐕 of course this isn’t always appropriate so this is where we can help and coach you into training exercises so that we can help manage and reduce this situations to help us and our dogs.

What can help build your dogs confidence? 🐕

🐾 Teaching something new- this could be a trick, or simply following food into a new position such as lying down. Learning and being rewarded can make our dogs feel good!

🐾 Setting up novel objects in the home and allowing your dog to sniff and explore at their own speed. Or when on a walk you can use food to encourage them to step onto things or climb up and over, giving them a confidence boost!

🐾 Make sure to reward any time your dog has been brave and interacted with something they may not usually, celebrate the small things!

🐾 Being calm and confident ourselves especially when your dog is nervous or unsure can help provide guidance

🐾 Play also makes our dogs feel good, whether that be with a toy by themselves or with you. Starting in an environment they are comfortable in and giving them an outlet for their natural behaviour. When feeling more confident you can then take toy play out and about to help build their confidence in other environments.

Dogs need time and dogs need space 🤍🐾

It can be very frustrating when we ask our dogs to do something & they just don’t listen to us but let’s think of the bigger picture here.

When training out environment can play a big part in our progress for example if you are in the middle of a concert with loud music and lots of distractions would you still be able to do your daily work … or if you was surrounded by clowns would you still be able to do your work? This goes for our dogs too when training.

Take training step by step, give the time and distance they need to progress at a rate they can work at and progress will build 🥰🐶

Rescue or Breeder? Have a look at a few of our pros and cons to both 🐶

There’s no rights or wrongs here and what’s suited to one family may not be for the next.

When getting your new dog the most important thing it to be happy with the route you have chosen and if buying a dog from a breeder do your research and make sure it’s a reputable one 🐾

Creative rewards! Typically teaching a dog something new with food or toys is much easier however once your dog knows a behaviour you can use other things they like to do to reinforce it.

Have a look at some idea’s and see if you can ask your dog for a behaviour before doing something this week. You’ll be surprised how your dog’s eagerness to respond to you improves!

Using a lead initially in certain situations might help too. For example if I was coming up to the lake and my dog liked to swim I would put them on the lead to ask for my sit before releasing them and unclipping it. This means my dog doesn’t have the chance to race down ahead of me and not listen to the behaviour being asked for first.
