Walking your dog shouldn’t be boring 👎🏼 Here’s a simple trick to easily add some fun into your dog’s walk! 🐕 Toss your dog a treat or as they walk. If they’re great at catching treats, then it’ll be like an engaging treat dispenser! If your dog isn’t good at catching treats, then they might learn or will need to find the treat- which is also very enriching. This is a simple trick that can make walks with your dog fun for both of you. 🧡 #WelfareForAnimals #DogEnrichment #ForceFreeTraining

I believe luring with treats is good if you know what and when to do so. If not, you will most likely be rewarding the wrong behavior. If you are too early or too slow to give your dog a treat, you’re rewarding something different. That can turn out really bad. The picture below is a great example of what not to do when it comes to treats. When I was working in the pet shop, a guy in his early sixties with a big dog walked past the shop every day. He would come in a few times a week to buy a huge bag of liver treats for his dog. I finally asked him how he was using the treats. He was buying so much, I wondered if he was using them as dog food. He said they were just for walks and that his dog wasn't very good about walking. The dog would go just so far and sit down. He gave the dog a handful of treats and the dog would start walking again. This man thought he was rewarding his dog for walking. I was able to let him know that he was actually rewarding his dog for sitting. The man said, “Oh, what should I do?” I said, “Put one treat in your hand and make a fist. Bring the back of your hand to your dog's nose, thus letting your dog get a sniff of the treat. Then pull your hand away from your dog's nose in the direction you want your dog to walk. Even if he just moves one paw forward, start there.” My advice worked and I didn’t sell him as many treats after that. This is the type of ending l like when it comes to doggie stories. So many people have asked me questions about their dogs, especially puppies, so I created an online course after I wrote my two books.

HILARIOUS VIDEO: IN BEING A TRICKSTER TO GET YOUR DOG TO EAT… My little girl Pom fur baby, Raven, I don’t think would fall for this trick, as showed in this funny video, as she seems to be too smart to be tricked in this manner. Could be wrong, though, as dogs seem to do the most unexpected things all the time. Thought about doing something similar to this video dog trick, with another type of dressing have, just to see if could deceive my little one, but in thinking this out — would first have to interduce her to actually eating this dressing over her dry kibbles, so that she would know the dressing’s container by sight, and by smell, BUT, that would open a ‘can of worms,’ so the expression goes, which don’t need !?! Feed my dog both Royal Cann dry kibbles, and wet food, in separate dishes, and she seems to like the kibbles (Without any toppings.) more, so am very lucky that she has no problems with her appetite and diet. Dogs with sensitive stomachs, and other medical issues leading up to a poor diet — cannot begin to know all of the struggles, and stress, of which dog owners must go through in attempts to get their dog to eat. Any sharing of tricks to get them to eat, most likely, would be appreciated by others… Dogs, and Other Pets, In Never Underestimating Them, In Enjoying The Unexpected They Do.

🐶I often see dog carers testing their dog. 🌟 If a dog struggles with a certain behaviour, say getting upset if you approach the food bowl, barking at other dogs, jumping up at people, work with your dog to help them learn to trust that they don’t have to do these behaviours or don’t give them the opportunity or need to do these things. 💥If they are not doing the behaviour, because you have changed the environment, given them space for example, then don’t push them to see if they might. This is a bit like giving up smoking then trying one just to check you don’t need them anymore. 🐾 Want to work with me? 🚀 Book your FREE discovery call today or visit our website ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eRf8bDmD #heeltraining #offleadtraining #puppytrainingtips #positivedogtrainer #beginnerdogtraining #forcefree #dogtraining101 #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingrevolution #dogtraininghack #dogtrainer #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #reactivedog #reactivedogtraining #offlead #recall #recalltraining #positivedogtraining #puppytraining #looseleadwalking #easydogtraining #dogtrainingtips #romanianrescuedog #streetdog

What is the Place Command and How Can It Improve Your Dog’s Behavior? Try the place command if you are looking for a simple and effective way to train your dog. The place command is a cue that tells your dog to go to a designated spot, such as a mat, a bed, or a crate, and stay there until you release them. This command can help you manage your dog’s behavior, teach them self-control, and make them feel more secure. #dog #dogs #doglover #dogfood #pets  https://lnkd.in/d6gUThnp

LinkedIn is not the best place to post cat pics.  Sure. So we're posting a dog video 🤓 In the video: Luna, the Hapiness Officer. An integral part of the team. She has two main duties: checking employee bags for sausage rolls (so-called Wurstsemmel-check) and be here if someone is sad. And how do you manage all this without an office dog? #happiness #workplace #team #culture #dog #pet #funatwork

At your feet, your loyal, companionable dog waits patiently for a head scratch. You're comfortable, content - there's a sense of relief and peace. This simple scene represents more than a moment in time. It's a metaphor for the need for warmth, nourishment, and companionship in our personal and professional lives. In business, aren't we all seeking that hot bowl of soup? That sense of satisfaction when a problem is solved, a goal is achieved, a project is completed to the highest standard.

Lastly, the dog represents companionship and loyalty – the essence of building trusted relationships.
