Puppy training online

IS ONLINE TRAINING RIGHT FOR MY DOG?

Traditionally, dog training has been, and is, done in person, within a group class or 121 with a trainer.

However, many basic puppy and/ or dog training exercises, or working on behavioural ‘issues’, actually don’t require the trainer to be present or ‘do the training’ in person.

After all, what is most important is that the dog’s guardian learns ‘how to’ work with their dog, how to manage their dog’s environment, how to provide the right physical and mental enrichment and so forth.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL CUES - WHAT, WHY & HOW 🤓🐕

Let’s face it, us humans are prone to be a little lazy (me included!) and what’s not to love about a cue that you can use in all sorts of different scenarios and for a variety of different behaviours.

Plus, we often forget our dog’s cues when we are caught up in a stressful situation, so having one or two words to fall back on will make every day management delightfully smooth.

Here is how to teach your furry friend these cues.

Farewell to puppy biting

Farewell to puppy biting

First things first, there’s no quick cure for puppy biting. But if you’re consistent with your messages and, at the same time, teach your pup what to do instead of nipping or biting, your little friend will stop this inappropriate behaviour, well, as soon as his or her personality allows.

There are various reasons why your puppy nips or bites:

  • Puppies use their mouth to explore and interact with their surroundings.
  • They play bite or nip out of frustration, over-arousal or fatigue.
  • Teething/ sore gums can be the reason behind a puppy bite or it can be a defensive or offensive reaction (more often it’s a defensive one!).
