She is only 1 year old and thinks the world is an incredibly exciting and sometimes worrying place. When we first started going out for walks we concentrated on getting her comfortable around passing cars. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then we began going to quiet places like car parks and eventually to the park to practice a few skills. She has picked up the training so quickly and is a delight to go out with. Of course, she does pull a little on lead and gets quite excited and bouncy but she is now very connected with me and quite easy to manage. She will still pull quite hard to get to a smell!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If she was in a home we would start the loose lead training in the garden but she is in kennels and the walks are a real highlight for her so we need to find somewhere quiet to do short training sessions.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">She loves getting out for walks and learning about the world but trying to get her to walk on a loose lead for these walks would end up being quite frustrating for her so we wait till we finish the walk and do a few minutes training in the car park area before she goes back to the kennels. Here is a little clip of what we have been up to.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="377" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CS1utX8_akg" width="454" youtube-src-id="CS1utX8_akg"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As she comes alongside me and the lead is loose, I quietly say Good and place down a small treat and keep walking. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">This means she will come alongside me again, providing an opportunity to mark and reward again. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I don't call her or try to get her to look towards me - I just wait quietly until she comes back to me and then mark and reward. She is really starting to get the hang of it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We do need to be really careful about holding treats in the hand - you can see what happens when she thinks I have a treat for her! </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Also, we place the treat on the ground rather than delivering to her mouth, simply because she would likely do a <i>snatch and run</i>! At this point I am not worried where she is as long as the lead is loose - after all, it is her walk, not mine and she needs to be able to be curious :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>Dog Behaviour Clinichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09501183048357452972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5436237495329772247.post-52192997604201332322023-01-07T07:46:00.000-08:002023-01-07T07:46:52.199-08:00<p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;"> Mr. Murphy's spa day</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3r3xOcvYUnUvBWteO5oUmpzKJxT0UDAttyNaMlV5qtqw0f9FPu57DizzXPYhmiTZE-eG1l6woGNTO2-J9wHkVXxCPKk1ird6B7f04MEYWJq1JhwnFoTSS1r-pKa1e-jlvRbnGCIHfm5GoV0gab9mznM4iOVvlrRBLIbA74qNuKmoYf_Lk86npIg/s2850/IMG_7218.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2372" data-original-width="2850" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3r3xOcvYUnUvBWteO5oUmpzKJxT0UDAttyNaMlV5qtqw0f9FPu57DizzXPYhmiTZE-eG1l6woGNTO2-J9wHkVXxCPKk1ird6B7f04MEYWJq1JhwnFoTSS1r-pKa1e-jlvRbnGCIHfm5GoV0gab9mznM4iOVvlrRBLIbA74qNuKmoYf_Lk86npIg/w400-h333/IMG_7218.JPG" width="400" /></a></b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Murphy has long fur and it is important to avoid matts and tangles for his health and wellbeing.

Each dog will vary in how long they take to move forward. Luna is like a sponge with her learning - absorbing every little bit. She now knows that even though something is happening nearby, she can engage with me in predictable fun repetitive games that are simple and calming but also rewarding. She can choose to quietly observe and then pick up the game again.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MJbSjsXp8ho" width="320" youtube-src-id="MJbSjsXp8ho"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hi-Viz</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"> person walking past and Luna chooses to play the up/down game</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Please note - asking a dog to sit in the presence of something they are concerned about is not helpful.

Taking a dog who is worried about various stimuli into a really busy environment expecting them to cope is not the way to help them.

She used to get very excited and over aroused and even frustrated when she saw other dogs. While it is tempting to try to socialise a dog with other dogs when they are frustrated, it wont always end well if the dog charges in over aroused. Instead, we are helping Luna see other dogs and quietly observe and move on.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwOXfy63ig5G8Yap30vrYRP4NP_skNM_MmyxQdoQVM9OtjgXTdGluBRobgKI7ghoGpcbGGG05jBc97CopwkmYhtPhel4CIj5-nY1fIJafIlhNxlv5QgZWkJ1lNIEvwvmRl73YsNqQdiHD5tVELB3hcEMsJXfUmuQ3Beqehi3D2e263K5MT1S8ihs/s2865/IMG_6399.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2850" data-original-width="2865" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwOXfy63ig5G8Yap30vrYRP4NP_skNM_MmyxQdoQVM9OtjgXTdGluBRobgKI7ghoGpcbGGG05jBc97CopwkmYhtPhel4CIj5-nY1fIJafIlhNxlv5QgZWkJ1lNIEvwvmRl73YsNqQdiHD5tVELB3hcEMsJXfUmuQ3Beqehi3D2e263K5MT1S8ihs/s320/IMG_6399.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Luna was also very wary of traffic - any vehicle passing caused her to spin round and stare at it, looking rather worried.

She is an affectionate dog and behaves in a very typical way for her age. She will need someone who is able to remain calm at all times. </span><span><span style="font-family: arial;">When we become emotional it can feed into the over arousal and excitability</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> of young dogs (or more mature ones too) and increase their arousal levels, leading to more mouthing, jumping and lead grabbing! </span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When she feels out of her comfort zone or when she becomes aroused and excited, she can jump up, gently mouth or grab the lead when on walks. She has no concept of walking on a lead and is very wary of traffic.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We began by getting to know her better, outside and inside. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLfMQ5gioMI" width="320" youtube-src-id="oLfMQ5gioMI"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">You can see from this video clip how easily she can become over excited and aroused.
