Positive Reinforcement Needed for Puppy who Picks on the Lady

Henlow picks on the poor lady. He flies at her, she feels, out of the blue. She is doing her best to ‘discipline’ their fifteen-week-old Golden Retriever puppy. She has been fed with outdated advice. A build up of a number of things are resulting in Henlow becoming cross, defiant Read more…

Goes Deaf When Called. Takes No Notice.

The young couple adopted mix breed Buddy at five months old. He is now nearly two. They were told he had Beagle in him, though it’s hard to tell.

There really is nothing wrong with the young dog that a bit of motivation and consistency won’t solve – along with some systematic training exercises to get him to pay attention to them.

Buddy goes deaf when they call him.

Changing No to Yes using a clicker

Bella is the most adorable, soft, cute, friendly and totally scrumptious Beagle puppy of six months old. She greeted me with lots of jumping up. She jumped up at the counters. Bella jumped at and onto the table. Bella is told NO. She’s told GET DOWN. When I arrive I usually Read more…

Allowing the Dog to Work Things Out

What a great evening I had with a lovely family and two wonderful Labradors. Black Lab Joey, four years old, is probably one of the calmest and most easy-going Labradors I have met. Golden Milly, also a rescue, is just one year old and a lot more bouncy. Her lady Read more…

Beautiful Dog but Out of Control

If a picture could tell a story – this is it! Sometimes I go to a situation where it’s hard to know where to start, particularly if the dog is jumping up and flying all over the place, desperate for attention – which she’s accustomed to getting in the form Read more…

Puppy Parenting – Puppy Training

I had a real treat yesterday. I went to fourteen-week-old Petite Brabancon Griffon siblings, Jack and Coco.They were absolutely adorable. Apparently there are only about seventy-five of the breed in the country. There were no problems to address but the couple had missed out on their choice of local puppy Read more…

Little Chihuahua is Perfect!

This little dog is a dream. I’m in love. The lady is wheelchair-bound and has had 20-month-old Chihuahua Pepe for ten weeks now. Apparently he came from a home where they also had two big dogs. He doesn’t bark too much, he isn’t demanding in any way, he doesn’t pull Read more…

Too Reliant Upon Commands

The decision was that Billie shouldn’t jump up at people anymore. Up until now jumping up has been very rewarding in terms of attention. The 6-month-old terrier cross (right) is looked at, spoken to in terms of reprimands and also touched – pushed off. She may get down but it Read more…

Speak Quietly and Dog Will Listen

Two gorgeous Toy Poodles! They have had ten-year-old black Bosco since he was a puppy and the confident friendly little dog is a testament to their good ‘dog parenting’. Denver they rehomed from Many Tears Rescue in Wales a couple of years ago and he was used as a stud Read more…

Nervous or Friendly Exuberance?

Could she be nervous? Because a dog jumps all over you when you arrive, grabs and mouths you and excitedly runs around panting and carrying toys, I don’t believe it is necessarily simply a display of friendliness. Pale Labrador Daisy was certainly not unfriendly, but all this hyperactivity when I Read more…
