Life With Your Dog

Ep21 - "Play" With Our Dogs (Benefits Of, And Different Styles Of Play)

This week we discuss the benefits of play, and different styles of play with dogs.

A game of tug or fetch can be used to reward behaviours in your training. It becomes a relationship-building exercise to help strengthen your bond.

Play also provides the opportunity to teach dogs to follow commands in high states of arousal, which can improve impulse control.

Ep14 - How Do I Ensure My Family & Friends Positively Influence My New Puppy? [Q&A]

This week's question from our listener Luke is about ensuring that family & friends do not inadvertently reinforce the wrong behaviours in your new puppy. Remember, the first 17 weeks are a CRUCIAL learning & socialisation period for your puppy - meaning any experiences will have a permanent effect on the dog. Panos goes through some tips to ensure these are positive experiences, while also addressing the 'embarrassment' you may feel from having to be strict with your family and friends.
