Day 2 of lazy enrichment didn't load sorry guys!
Yesterday was brought to us by an unfinished deck and a handful of treats.
It got Spud sniffing, doing some parkour, using his brain and building confidence.

Day 3 of lazy enrichment. 1 big box + packing paper + treats = a very happy Thistle

I have once again managed to injure myself 🤦‍♀️.
I haven't been able to do as much as I normally would with my dogs. So we are doing quite a bit of lazy enrichment.
Today the dogs get a goat horn smeared inside with doggy peanut butter (do not get it mixed up with your peanut butter it has offal mixed in 🤢. Gross on toast, super delicious for dogs).
I got my goat horns from Out of the Wild Petfood. I love that they are hollow, brilliant possibilities for stuffing and enticing even the laziest chewers. They are smaller pieces so may not be suitable for big dogs or extreme chewers.
The dog peanut butter is from our good friend at Confident Canines Active Outlet.

Today I got to meet June the gorgeous little lovebug.
Sometimes when she is over excited she let's the Huntaway and Border Collie parts take over.
I'm looking forward to working with her family to help teach her some more appropriate behaviours and to teach her family how to give her outlets for all her skills and talents.

A big Dog Nerd welcome to Tupac!
This tiny little guy has some big feelings about his treasured possessions and places.
He is super smart and loves learning so we are going to be able to iron out the miscommunications between him and his awesome family

Thistle and I did this imprinting and had a lot of fun.
Whether you are wanting to get in to the sport or just want a fun activity for you and your dog to play around with at home, I can not recommend this enough!

Tifa's mum sent this beautiful picture from a bush walk they enjoyed together.
Spending time together doing things you both enjoy is a great way to build your relationship with your dog.
Working on communication, feeling safe and secure and finding joy in each other's company will all help strengthen your relationship. Great training starts with a great relationship.

This ridiculously gorgeous fluffy girl Tienie needed some help to engage more with her amazing mum when other dogs are around.
Spud was happy to help out by being a very boring pugtato.
As Tienie is still just a baby, we can introduce more exciting dogs as she matures and as her communication and relationship with her mum continues to grow and flourish
