Here are the 8 key principles we focus on teaching every dog to help foster a more harmonious and enjoyable relationship between you and your companion.
Marker Words
Teaching dogs the meaning of clear and consistent words like “yes,” “no,” and “good” is essential for effective communication. This clarity helps unlock their full potential and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
Leash walking
Walking calmly on a leash without pulling fosters a sense of connection between you and your dog. When a dog pulls or ignores cues, it can lead to frustration and make walks unpleasant. Teaching great leash-walking skills enhances your relationship and makes every walk enjoyable.
Greetings
Many dogs love to greet family and friends, but doing so politely - without jumping or rushing doorways - makes interactions more enjoyable for everyone, including guests. Proper greetings ensure your dog is welcome wherever they go.
Impulse control
Teaching impulse control is essential for safety and harmony, whether it’s resisting the urge to chase a cat or avoiding temptation like unattended food on the table. Patience is a valuable skill that helps dogs understand that good things come to those who wait.
Recall
Recall is a critical skill for off-lead safety. At Pawpidoo, we believe every owner should feel confident that their dog will come back reliably when called. This foundational behavior ensures freedom and safety during outdoor adventures.
Calm behaviour
Dogs that know how to relax are a joy to live with. Calm behavior, especially in different environments, allows your dog to accompany you to more places and curbs destructive habits. A relaxed dog makes for a delightful and adaptable companion.
Social politeness
While dogs don’t have to interact with things they dislike, barking, lunging, or growling are not ideal responses. A confident dog can calmly pass by people, animals, or objects they find uncomfortable, maintaining composure without overreacting.
Thresholds
Boundaries are essential for safety. Dogs should understand not to cross doorways or other thresholds without permission. This helps keep them safe, preventing them from running into roads or causing trouble in neighbors’ gardens.
