  • Got the puppy blues? You’re not alone! ❤️

Puppies can be Hard. Work. Give yourself some grace and remember that you’ve got a baby animal who doesn’t know much about the world yet!

My top 3 things to prioritise are:

🐾 Building a relationship 🐾
Relationships are built on trust. Let your puppy know that they can trust you by giving them a predictable routine, supporting them when they feel overwhelmed or uncertain, and teaching them that good things happen when you’re around.

🐾Understanding dog body language 🐾
Wish your dog could talk? Well learning how to read body language is about as close as we can get to an Up-style talking collar! @doggielanguagebook is the perfect place to start.
The better you understand what your dog is saying the easier it is to fulfil their needs and grow their confidence.

🐾Teaching calm & settle 🐾
This is a skill that needs to be learned! Puppies have serious FOMO, but also need serious sleep time. This is not a good combo! Start with the routine, introducing calm activities, set up a safe, quiet space and teach settling as a training exercise just like your recall or lead walking!

  • A little #ThrowbackThursday to being on the BBC with Freya!

We were asked to join the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures to show how dogs learn through positive reinforcement 🧠

The whole lecture on AI is on @bbciplayer and it’s a very interesting watch!

So proud of Freya on her first TV outing, it was a lot for a young, bouncy dog and she did so well! ❤️

  • Please bear with while I’m off getting hitched!

See y’all soon 😊
  • Try this the next time you need to put your puppy’s collar or harness on.

If we avoid the struggle, you’ll have a calm pup when the kit has to go on. 🧘‍♀️

If your puppy still bites you or runs away, take your time. Work on it when you don’t need to immediately put it on and let them move away if they’re finding it a bit overwhelming. Let them come to you!

Try to avoid restraining your pup to put their kit on! The more patience you have now, the easier it will be in the future.

  • I’m always preaching about how easy enrichment can be, sometimes all you need is an empty cardboard box 📦

Thanks to @naturesmenuonline for the box 😂 (and the brilliant treats that came in said box!)
