I use maze feeders and puzzles with my English cocker puppy. I use their food during training sessions to condition the good behaviours. I am not always home to give them their meals so anytime anyone doesn’t feel like training the puppy they can use the puzzles. It gets puppy to use their brain and by using the tongue and mouth to work out the food it satiates their need to use their mouth on things. We have noticed our puppy will nap soon after the puzzles vs. hand feeding during training. I usually give my puppy a Kong with frozen food in the crate after training to settle.
I don’t think ids curl to put a dog in a crate German shepherds tend to teeth on crates and their. Mouth starts bleeding so I’m scared my dad’s dog Luna was in a crate and chewed through it any. Advice
You're absolutely right. I don't get those stupid maze food trays either. They need boundaries just like kids. I was in the vets the other day and a guy must have treated his dog about 20 times when he was waiting to pay the bill. Some people are idiots. End of rant 😂
Maze feeders are often used to slow the rate of ingestion so as to prevent bloat, which can be caused by the unintentional gulps of air a dog can take whilst eating very rapidly. Not sure where people got the idea that it's simply a fad.
Hey Craig, a great session this morning. I was just wondering how often should/when should you put the dog in the crate? He does sleep in there at night and during the day after some mental/physical exercise. Cheers Nayan
Hi Nayan lovely to meet you today. As a puppy my advice would be to put him in the crate when you can’t give him 100% of your attention 🐾🐾👍 he needs to know it’s a safe place where he can chill out
@TheDogTherapist likewise, it was great to meet you too, a little star struck, I must admit, having seen you on here 😀. Great, I will be putting him into the crate when I can. I did put him into the crate as soon as I got home after the morning session and he was out like a light. Also your slip lead is working wonders already. Went for an evening walk and it was an absolute pleasure. Cheers 👍
If my dog has any fear response I ignore it. Don't fuss it, it just thinks its getting a reward for being afraid. It nurtures the fear. If the dog trembles, its to release its fear. Its one of the ways they deal with stress, its no big deal.

This is a great help thanks and quite agree!! We have a new puppy now 18 weeks old. Looked on your web site and saw the training lead for puppy and also adjuster lead. I can’t find the video where the adjuster lead is used. So what would you recommend please for indoor and outdoor use for a puppy this size? He is a cavapoochon and very responsive and bright, much to our delight and surprise 🤣. many thanks. Have subscribed 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video, the lead to use is the training slip lead 🐾🐾👍 if you need any help follow me on socials I'm always giving away tips and tricks of how to train your dog
Thanks so much for your swift reply. Have ordered one from you today together with the longer recall lead. Very grateful!! All the best to you….and thanks again.
Yes there’s going to be two workshops in June the 1st and the 8th. Keep your eyes peeled on our website and socials how to book in the next few days 🐾🐾👍
I’ve just added the first group behavioural walk and settle workshop on my website it’s at Trentham Gardens Shopping Village on the 1st June here’s the link to book in thedogtherapist.co.uk/collections/services/products/dog-training-walks
Crates are great for most dogs. But my cocker spaniel had a fear response immediately when left alone from day 1. Held the bathroom in a crate all night no issue. Sat in a bigger crate when I'm in the home office no issue. But leaving their sight was an issue. It's not treating them like a baby to have to deal with a fear response.
@@Silverbeardedsurfer your comment reminded me of a collie I had last century. We would often go for a walk across a footbridge over a (tube train) railway line. The dog always wanted to watch for a train to come past just like 3 year olds do 😆
Spot on. My thought here, all dogs should have a job / duties. Mine, watch / guard dog, simple one word & hand signals only. Here in Denver, Colorado there are crack heads & drug dealers everywhere (Capitol; Hill) . Two shootings this week on my block... My dog knows he has purpose...no snowflakes here. Cheers,
I've been analyzing your RUclips channel. And find that your content is really good. I also noticed that your title-description-tag is not SEO friendly. Your channel optimization is poor, resulting in a poor SEO score. As a result, your videos are not reaching the right audience, which is affecting your view count. If you want, I can customize your RUclips channel according to RUclips terms. So that you can see better results for your RUclips channel. And I will do onpage and offpage SEO for your RUclips so that your RUclips channel videos appear in the top search results of Google and RUclips. Thanks and I look forward to your response
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!!!!
This is great. Absolutely spot on. Thank you.
PS: IT ALSO WORKS WITH KIDS!
Thanks and yes it does work well for kids too 🤣

Are you going to be offering any more dates for group training walks please? I’m in south Cheshire so very interested in any future dates

Spot on . I blame the wife !
Its all about money. No dog needs a load of stuff like a baby. Or a birthday party. Or clothes. Its ridiculous.
Agreed!
And harnesses are pathetic.
I agree with this bloke.
When you said madeley do you mean madeley telford
Sorry it’s Madeley near Crewe

Got to be firm!your boss
From what age can i use that leash you use?
It depends on what dog you have but that lead for a cockers around 6-8 months old. I have all leads for all dogs go to thedogtherapist.co.uk to see
@TheDogTherapist oké thanks! I have a labrador retriever of 4 months old
I don’t treat my dog as a baby. I assume that she is as clever as a three year old!
If it's a collie, quite possibly.
@@Silverbeardedsurfer she is!
@@JenKirby I read an article which suggested border collies are actually autistic.
