TIPS TOHELP YOUR DOG WITH FIREWORK FEAR:

- Make sure your pooch is well exercised in the days leading up to Guy Fawkes night. Ensure this is during daylight hours and long before the fireworks start.
- Ensure you’re calm and relaxed. Your dogs will pick up on your anxiety. Gently reassure them if they come to you for comfort.
- Make sure your dog has freedom to go to their “safe spot”. That might be their crate, basket or any comfortable place where they feel safe and secure.
- Close doors, windows and curtains to reduce noise and flashing lights.
- Very importantly make your house and garden escape proof.

PUPPY AND DOG OBEDIENCE CLASSES

There are some great puppy and dog training courses coming up which will not only teach essential skills but will also reinforce the relationship between you and your dog.

Each course consists of three classes held on three consecutive Saturdays in Lower Slaughter. A course costs £75 but if you book two of the courses the total cost is £130 (£20 reduction), if you book all three courses the cost is £195 (a reduction of £30). As classes are limited to 5 puppies/dogs this is subject to availability and works on a first come first serve basis.

Here are the details:
Beginner and Basic Training:
This isn’t just for puppies. Often older dogs haven’t learnt the essential skill of being able to focus when being given a command. With that in mind this course covers getting your dog's attention and the principles and methods of dog training. You’ll learn how to implement recall and basic commands such as sit, stay, heel and drop (a ball or other item). You'll also find out about loose lead walking (i.e. not pulling) and ignoring distractions. Much of this is essential for the safety of your dog.
Intermediate and Clicker Training:
This involves more advanced skills such as roll over, walking to heel and long stays. Clicker training is highly effective and reduces dependence on treats. You’ll be given ideas on how to provide mental stimulation for your dog as apparent ‘bad behaviour’ can be the result of boredom.
Advanced Training and Mental Stimulation:
This is only available to certain breeds including Collies, Huskies and Malamuts, Retrievers, Spaniels and other dogs that are traditionally bred as working dogs. Your dog will learn to jump through hoops and slalom as well as learning other great manoeuvres. This improves your dog’s balance and co-ordination and working together at an advanced level will further strengthen your relationship with your pooch.

Here are the dates...
Beginner and Basic:
Saturday 28th August at 1.30pm
Saturday 4th September at 1.30pm
Saturday 11th September at 1.30pm

Intermediate:
Saturday 18th September at 1.30pm
Saturday 25th September at 1.30pm
Saturday 2nd October at 1.30pm

Advanced:
Saturday 16th October at 1.30pm
Saturday 23rd October at 1.30pm

INTERMEDIATE TRAINING COURSE
Happy Pooches are holding a three week training course on consecutive Saturdays at 1.30pm starting on May 15th. We will focus on intermediate level abilities which include distance commands, working dog techniques and engaging with your dog to keep him stimulated with activities. There will also be some quite advanced commands with staying and clicker training. Clicker training teaches your dog to respond to non-food rewards so there is less dependence on treats. All our classes have a degree of flexibility depending on the needs of the dogs and the progress made. Each class Is limited to 5 dogs.

The seventh and final reason on why dogs need regular exercise:

When romping around with friends our Happy Pooches family often run themselves ragged

Owners of the dogs we walk at Happy Pooches often comment that their dog comes home tired and happy. Guess what? That gives you time to chill. To find out more visit our website happy-pooches.co.uk 🐶🐾

Sixth reason on why your dogs need regular exercise:

Your dog doesn’t self entertain, a Netflix bing just doesn't do it for him. He relies on you (or us at happy-pooches.co.uk) to take him out and about. Yes, some of the Happy Pooches family enjoy a swim even in this weather!

We all have times when we're super busy and overwhelmed and taking the dog out seems nearly impossible. That's when Happy Pooches steps in to the rescue. Visit our website to find out more.🐶🐾

Reason number five on why your dog needs regular exercise:

Exercise brings agility. Like humans, well exercised dogs have less age related problems as the years go by. Exercise also improves organ and lung functions 🐶🐾

Third reason on why your dog needs regular exercise:

Socialisation is essential for a well balanced dog. They need to learn to interact comfortably with other friendly dogs.

If your dog runs round with other dogs of course they also get twice as much exercise. 🐶🐾
