OC Paws Dog Training

Congratulations to these amazing group class students 🐾🐾🐾

Training with Bandit and his family has been a great experience for everyone. Bandit started with our group puppy class and then moved on to private in-home lessons. We covered a lot, and he’s only 7 months old!

I mean, come on…🐾🥹😍

Congrats to our puppy and adolescent class grads!! Great work, everyone! 🐾🐶

We sure do LOVE a good STATION behavior. Did you know that you’ll learn this behavior in our group class?! This is also known as PLACE training.

🗣 An animals’ diet can have anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory effects on their body, either due to the nutritional components themselves or the effects those components have on the individuals’ microbiome.

Nutrition and diet can change the levels of inflammatory mediators (or biological chemicals) in the body depending on the type, presentation, and amounts of nutritional components within a diet.

These dietary effects can be direct, due to the components of the diet, or indirect via the microbiome. This area of research is fascinating. Low-grade chronic inflammation can have negative effects on many disease states as there is a connection between inflammatory state, nutrition, stress, disease, and behavior.

Our puppy class grads! So proud of them. They are off to a great start 🐾

Group Puppy Class training! We cover basic behaviors, socializing, basic husbandry care and are ready to answer all your questions! All our puppies love for a high value, healthy reward

Pain is part of life sometimes. A small injury or illness can cause days of discomfort. As our dogs get older though, they can suffer joint pain that's often ignored because we just assume they are getting old. If you think your dog might be struggling, it's worth a closer look. Ask yourself if you recognise any of these signs. If you need any help with understanding and caring for yyour older dog, drop us a line in the comments.

Understanding a dog's behaviour before training is crucial for several reasons. It helps identify the root cause of issues; for instance, a dog chewing might be teething or stressed rather than naughty.

This approach builds trust, as dogs feel understood, leading to a stronger bond and better dog welfare.

Misinterpreting behaviour can lead to harmful training methods, whereas understanding promotes the dog's welfare and happiness. Training that accounts for a dog's needs and emotions leads to long-term success, not just immediate obedience.

Overall, it's about ensuring the training is humane, effective, and fosters a positive relationship.

Dogs need love and dogs need space. It's crucially important that we can read their language.

Patches, the adorable and sweet super star ⭐️ puppy!!

How to Tell If Your Dog Has Joint Pain: Signs to Look Out For Joint pain is a common problem for dogs, especially as they age. It can make it difficult for them to move around and enjoy their daily activities. Unfortunately, dogs can't tell us when they're in pain, so it's up to us as their people to look out for signs that something might be wrong. In this bl...
