In this week's episode Panos discusses what fear periods are in pups & young dogs. Covering what it is, how to identify and treat while going through these developmental times which can be stressful for both puppy and owner. COVID lockdowns bring hardship to puppy raising and development in the form of creating separation-related behaviour issues and limit socialisation which can become an issue months down the track that can be long lasting in your dog's life. Panos gives some advice and tips on how to remedy these issues and how to be proactive if your pup is new to your home.   Thanks for listening!

Enrichment is key to biologically fulfilling our dogs to express natural behaviours to minimise destructive behaviour, boredom & separation distress. We want to be able to redirect destructive behaviour when left unattended. Panos gives some advice on some enrichment ideas for your dog such as the use of KONGS, toys, bones and much more!   Thanks for listening!

Unfortunately as dog trainers it can be a case of "do as I say, not as I do" In terms of the advice we give out, we trainers can be just as guilty of making silly mistakes ourselves! This week Panos lost sight of Nuki during a late-night off-leash walk, with no collar or tags, followed by a pretty scary 18-hours spent searching high and low for her A kind stranger found and returned her safely! In this episode we go over a list of tips of what to do if your dog ever goes missing We also reflect on hard lessons learned from this situation! This rookie error was an experience that prompted deep thought and needs to be shared so that you don't make the same mistakes. Keep your dog's collar and ID tag on at all times! Have an attitude of gratitude & go hug your dog.   Thanks for listening!  Find us online >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com Panos @ www.noochspooches.com.au >> Luke @ www.kizunacanine.com.au >>  

A thing that really gets Panos frustrated is how people let their dog fly out of the car to jump, run and act out of control. Get into good habits and teaching your dog how to exit the car calmly, appropriately and safely. A quick one but a useful episode for you and your dogs.
