Paws and Play: Creative DIY Dog Toys to Keep Your Pup Happy and Healthy
Posted by Jackie Ly on
Toys help in keeping your dog happy, active and out of trouble. As a fur parent, you want to spoil them and give them the best toys, like the ones you see in stores or online shops that dog owners are raving about.
However, if your dog is one of the talented that can rip up a toy fast, it might seem that money is being thrown out the window. And if there’s been an incident where your dog encountered problems due to a toy’s substance, you become more hesitant to buy again.
That’s why alternative and safer toys are made–by you!
Training a Teenage Puppy
Posted by Jackie Ly on
Living with a puppy makes life more fun – you get to play with them, teach them tricks, and enjoy the great outdoors with their company. But of course, there are responsibilities too. You teach them good behaviour so they can adjust to domestic living. And when you see them learning and applying it, your heart just swells with happiness and fulfilment.
But weeks or months later, you notice some kind of a relapse, and even some new behaviours that are not… good. You start to compare your dog to humans–specifically to teenagers in puberty!
What You’re Doing Wrong When Treat Training Doesn’t Work
Posted by Jackie Ly on
When you start training your dog, it’s always important to give them rewards. It’s just like them going to work, and it’s only fair that you pay them in their preferred currency. For dogs, it can be a verbal praise, a petting session, and the highly anticipated treats!
However, you notice that your dog only listens to you when you have a treat, otherwise they go about their business and ignore you. You look for solutions online, and a bunch of articles dismissing positive reinforcement training–or ‘treat training’ as they call it–discourages you all the way more.
Take heart, that’s not true. Positive reinforcement training has been proven multiple times to be much more effective than any other type of training, and is the recommended technique for all dogs. But why doesn’t it work on your dog? Maybe you are doing some things wrong, and we’re here to help you!
