Investing in a dog trainer is a great way to build your bond with your dog and make your life easier as a dog owner. Having a dog is like adding a new member to the family and sometimes we all need some guidance with new ideas to handle situations to achieve the results you want.

Let's talk about dog enrichment. Dog enrichment seems a big boujee but it is one of those small changes that you can make to benefit both the bond you have with your dog as well as their behaviour. I seriously rate it!

Enrichment is about giving them something different, where they might need to challenge themselves. E.g. not giving them their dinner in their food bowl. Instead scatter it around the garden and let them sniff it out. Teaching them a new behaviour or allowing them to follow a scent. Enrichment can reduce anxiety and aggression a significant amount.

The next day it is raining and you go to take your dog for a walk, try taking them on a shorter walk and adding in an enrichment activity.

Enrichment activities have also been shown to help reduce cognitive degeneration. I believe that when you home a dog you have a new family member and if someone told me I could keep my dog youthful in their old age I would jump at the chance!

Comment any enrichment activities that you have or are going to try, I love to hear how creative people get.

If you are having problems with your dog growling when you approach or refusing to drop a toy it is important to know the correct approach. These aare a few simple ways to support you in handling the situation. However resource guarding is something that I strongly encourage you to reach out to a professional trainer about.

Taking a dog on a walk is great, you will love it and so will your dog. It's important to consider what breed your dog is to ensure you are tapping into their innate drive. Knowing what drives your dog can help so much with training and building a positive bond between you both.
For example beagles, are bred for scent work; try hiding their food around the garden and make them work to find their food, or hide from them on your walk and let them sniff you out!

Want your dogs to listen to you all the time?

Have bowls of treats around the house. This will stop your dog only doing as you ask when they see your treat pouch. By syrpprising your dog for good behaviour they learn that they can not predict when they will get positively reinforced; therefore encouraging more positive behaviour as they associate you with positive rewards. Note that if you dont have a treat at hand you can also reward your dog through play or attention.

Top 3 commands and how to teach them:

#3 The final top command is 'drop'. This again is a life saving command to teach your dog from and early age. This can help stop them from chewing on cables or eating something that will result in a large vet bill.

To teach drop it- Whilst the dog is tugging on a toy, place a treat on the dogs nose, say 'yes' as the dog drops the toy.

Next- add your verbal cue, use the word 'drop' and straight away plcae the treat on the dogs nose to reward. NOTE- use verbal cue FIRST then move your hand to reward drop command.

Repeat this process multiple times so that the dog does not build a negative assocoiation that they no longer get to play with the toy.
