Calm behaviour at doorways.
Posted by dillondog on Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 02:15 PM GMT (1431 reads)
nick_j007 writes "The importance of Doorways…
Well I’m sure that most of you know this one, but for those in a student role this is a must on every visit as far as I’m concerned. Looking at the behaviour in the dog's home, the hub of its life is essential to have the benefits in the outside world."

Nick Jones discusses pulling on the lead
Posted by dillondog on Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 02:15 PM GMT (2376 reads)
nick_j007 writes "This is a very common issue!
Your dog will have a strong association with the lead going on, going through the doorways and exiting the home, as these are all early signals of the walk itself. Once outside, your dog will be exposed to a mass of sensory input so you can imagine the effect this will have on your dog. It’s your job to guide the dog’s uncontrolled excitement into more manageable and calm behaviour. The trick to attaining this is to break things down into bite-size pieces. Firstly, your dog will need to be calm and exercising a good degree of self-control before you place the lead on him. If over the first week you have to wait an additional five minutes before your dog is calm enough to place the lead on, then this is what you will need to do! "

Nick Jones discusses on lead dog aggression.
Posted by dillondog on Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 02:14 PM GMT (2491 reads)
nick_j007 writes "When a dog is on the lead, it has had one option removed when under stress…. this is the chance to move away from what is concerning it. I regularly hear that the owner’s dog is ok off the lead but unsociable when on it. You may require some more detailed help from a professional trainer, but in the mean time you could try this simple procedure. In this sort of scenario it would be as well to break it down into three steps for you to try using the following simple method I have developed over time."

Dogs and exercise

nick_j007 writes "Nick Jones of Alpha Dog Behaviour discusses dog exercise
Exercise that dog!
Not all dogs require a daily flogging until they come back wet and exhausted. I think it's just as easy to do too much as it is to do too little."

nick_j007 writes "Nick Jones of Alpha Dog Behaviour talks about dog behaviour and leadership.
Hi I’m Nick Jones, and I run my own dog behavioural consultancy covering the West Midlands and surrounding counties. I am often asked about the subject of leadership, as it does seem to be a current ‘buzz word’ at present. So, I would like to address some of the areas you can look at with your own dog that can help if you are experiencing any difficulties."

Dog Aggression...An avoidable plight?
Posted by dillondog on Friday, March 27, 2009 @ 09:07 AM GMT (1268 reads)
nick_j007 writes "Dog behaviourist Nick Jones of Alpha Dog Behaviour talks about
Dog Aggression.
As a full time dog behaviour specialist, my role is to help owners whose dogs are showing undesirable behaviour. In my work dog aggression is relatively common, falling into three broad categories: dog to dog aggression, aggressive behaviour towards people, and finally aggressive behaviour focussed upon guarding food, territory or toys etc.

remy writes "Nutrition is key! Your dog’s mental attitude, health, happiness, behavior, longevity and overall well-being are directly related to nutrition.

By Nick Jones MCFBA
Alpha Dog Behaviour
Next month will bring fireworks, and for many dogs and owners this period is a nightmare…I know I see it frequently in my work as a dog behaviourist and trainer. Maybe if it were one night you could accept it, but no, it seems to go on for weeks; creating misery for the dogs and owners alike.

Bone or Toy Guarding
Posted by dillondog on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 @ 06:08 PM GMT (1825 reads)
I find this problem mainly in the gundog breeds dogs such as Labradors , Springers, and Golden Retrievers but have also come across it in Shar Pei 's Staffs and English Bull Terriers, and most of the guarding breeds.

Food Guarding
Posted by dillondog on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 @ 06:06 PM GMT (1371 reads)
We work very hard training our dogs to fit into our lifestyle and our family unit, we think we have done great, then just as we are congratulating ourselves on a job well done the growl starts, it may be as we pass the bed, food bowl, or pigs ear, or even as we remove a toy or tissue.
This is a common problem, often called food guarding, or resource guarding. In reality it is a natural innate tendency for dogs to protect what they perceive as theirs. Possession to a dog is 9/10ths of the law, some dogs will resource guard anything, and that includes us.
This happened to me recently.
