What are structured dog walks?
Olive’s Walks are not a simple case of letting dogs off lead for an hour of mischief before being taken home. Dogs thrive when being challenged, so whether your dog is walking solo or in a group we proactively practise core behaviours such as loose lead walking, recall, threshold control, sit, down & wait accompanied by consistent marker works.
Why is this important?
The purpose is to ensure sufficient mental stimulation whilst encouraging on-leash contentedness & off-leash control.
- Loose lead walking: When we take on a new dog, we spend significant time teaching them what lead pressure means, so they learn to walk alongside us without pulling. This is vital for any dog to be walked in a group so they stay with the pack & don’t pull ahead.
- Recall: This is a vital part of off lead safety & is practised on every walk. No off-leash privileges will be given until we have achieved 100% off lead control.
- Eye contact: We free shape & reward this behaviour to encourage your dog to focus on us. Engagement is key to our relationship and their safety.
- Threshold control: It’s important for dogs to have manners & be polite in & out of thresholds. There will be plenty of time to run around but they must wait for our go ahead before leaving the house, the van crates, & park gates.
- Duration stays: Whether we request a sit or a down, regular practice and proofing reinforces impulse control, helps around distractions and a nice habit to make when we take their leads on / off & require their full attention.
- Marker words: Clear & consistent communication so your dog can understand what yes, no, good & free means.
- Confidence building: Exposing each dog to the unknown & the ordinary through games, counter conditioning & desensitisation
