  • Had the most wonderful time last weekend at the @puppyschooluk conference! 🐶 An incredible lineup of workshops and talks from some of the best in the industry! 🎶 Heelwork to music with @kimlyddoncaninefreestyle and @h.thompsondogtraining Honestly SO blown away to see these guys working in person! Anyone who knows me knows that HTM is my favourite dog sport 😍 🤲🏻 Consent based handling with @louiseotterdogbehaviour Honestly felt like a meditative yoga retreat for doggos 🧘🏼‍♀️ 🐕‍🦺 Loose lead walking with @claire.luscombe.71 So much brilliant info and fascinating observations about how we teach lead walking! 🪮 Prepare to care with @woodysholisticgrooming It was so fantastic to see how patience and care can change dogs lives ❤️ 🐘 Cooperative Care of Exotic Animals with Educating Animals Was lovely to revisit this after my time at Paington last year. An important reminder that putting welfare first actually benefits everyone involved! 👧🏼 @kadkidsarounddogs Great to see an organisation dedicated to kids safety around dogs and love their welfare-focussed approach to school dogs. And thank you to @wilde.dogs for letting me steal Kevin and the sausages!! #puppyschooluk #puppyschoolconferece #puppyschoolbarnes
  • Not sure if your dog is ready to be off-lead? 🐕 They are if they have automatic check-ins! This means they are frequently turning around and looking to you even when trotting ahead. To teach an auto check-in you need: 1. A long line 2. A release cue your dog knows well 3. Strong name association 🐾 I like to start by using the dog’s name to get their attention. 🐾 Mark with a clicker or a voice marker when they turn to hear their name, then reward close to you. 🐾 Use your release cue once you’ve rewarded to tell them it’s ok to go back to what they were doing. 🐾 Continue this at various distances while using the long line. 🐾 Then, start to mark and reward your dog just looking back to you (they’ll do this because they are expecting you to call their name like you practised!). Maclaren, the lovely dog in this video, started learning the auto check-in during our ’Train for You’ walks. This is after about a month of consistent walks! #dogtrainingtips #positiverecall advice #dogrecalltraining

We had a lovely first class covering a lot of ground including:

🐾Safe ‘trade offs’ for high-value items 🐾How to motivate puppy
🐾Settle foundations
🐾Creating a predictable routine

And Nya had a lovely nap at the end! 💤
Proof that stimulating the brain is just as tiring as a long walk 😂

  • Does your puppy keep stopping on walks? 🛑 Let them! They’ve only been in this world a short time, and it can be a lot! Puppies need time to stop and observe. 👀 My tips are: 🐾 Wait calmly with a loose lead 🐾 When they do decide to move, reward them with an encouraging, positive voice and sometimes food (the food comes AFTER they decide to move!) 🐾 If you need to get somewhere quickly, don’t take the puppy! Or have them in a stroller, carrier or sling that they are comfortable in. 🐾 Enjoy the quiet, slow walks while they last! Use it as a moment to let yourself breathe and take in the environment too. Follow @encoredogs for more training tips and advice! #dogtrainingtips #puppywalkingadvice #puppytraining #leadwalkingadvice #londondogtraining��Video Description: Montage of a terrier puppy stopping on a walk and observing what is happening around him before walking again.
