Home visit today to help with this little land shark…

He may be cute but his nipping is proving challenging.

Some tips have been given today to help with good sleep and play routines and he will be joining a small group puppy class to further his training. 😊🐾

Newest addition to the Poppets family.

Having recently joined his new family he is settling in well, there are just a few tweaks that need making to ensure he lives harmoniously with his family.

Play can be a little rough and grabby, he doesn’t know how to play appropriately with people.

Walks are full of new experiences that need to be taken at full speed!

We made a great start with appropriate play rules and some guidelines are in place for a calmer walk. 😊🐾

Being on his own is scary!…..

This chap isn’t alone when it comes to dogs who don’t like being left home alone.

The initial visit covered some confidence building skills and some tasks to get him more comfortable when his mum moves away from him.

Separation training takes time and patience, these dogs are being naughty, they are scared and need help to learn how to be on their own. 😊🐾

You can’t take the collie out of the collie!

When you have a dog that NEEDS to do a task, you are better to try and satisfy that need than trying to stop it.

Most collies have a need to run round, eyeball and chase.

For this chap, we used poles to help the move away and a ball to fixate on and then chase. A much better alternative than trying to herd his brother!🙄

Got a dachshund that likes to burrow? ….. give them a tunnel or pile of blankets.

Terrier that likes to dig? …. Give them a dig pit, this could be a kiddies ball pit if you don’t fancy mud everywhere!

By satisfying the need, you are less likely to have frustration based behaviours and more likely to have a calmer companion. 😊🐾

Have you heard this common myth?..

In reality, as you can see, it’s not true.

We have been working with his chap on his lead walking skills, so how did we get the loose lead?

Clear guidelines and consistency…… that’s it!

Need help with your lead walking?

Walks are currently timed to perfection to avoid his nemesis.

Due to some tough experiences, this chap is on high alert and can get quite barky as a result.

Whilst he has certain dogs that spark this reaction, he can, seemingly randomly, struggle around other dogs in the neighbourhood.

Training for him and his mum on how the walks can be start to become more relaxing.

Is your routine to plan walks, or hide behind cars?

Walks don’t need to be this way.

The ball playing scruffball…

This chap was introduced to the Poppets family recently as he had got himself in a bit of a pickle around strangers and was choosing to bark about it.

This video shows his progress….

Whilst you may think it doesn’t look much….

The person he is playing ball with was his main nemesis, resulting in much lunging and barking when he was present.

So, how did we get here?

Patience and understanding, with a few small tweaks we worked on building scrufballs confidence in what he needed to do.

No corrections, no grot leads, just understanding.

Treating behavioural challenges is never about correcting the bit we don’t like (the bark/ lunge in this case).

It is always about understanding why it happens and working from there.

Got a question? Drop me a message, I’m always happy to help. 😊🐾

Sometimes making friends is hard…

This chap got chased as a puppy and it’s made him cautious around strange dogs.

He tends to bounce around barking, wanting to make friends but not really sure what to do.

We can help him by introducing calm dogs and letting him dip in and out of the interaction as he needs to. No need to reprimand the barking, it is a signal of his emotional state that we need to acknowledge so we can help his decision making.

A few minutes of walking on a longer lead and he was much more relaxed and occasionally swinging by for a crafty bum sniff.

We don’t always need to do anything, just create the space for learning to happen. 😊🐾
