Labrador Retriever and German Shorthaired Pointer Puppy Retrieving tips!

Here’s an overview of the approach I use to develop retrieving drive in young Labrador Retriever and German Shorthaired Pointer puppies! I hope you enjoy!

Today I drove someone else's big, expensive car with someone else's old, disabled dog in it, twice.

It's been very stressful.

He's helping! 🧺🧦

At one point I tried to get him to do three trips before getting a treat and he got annoyed and started putting stuff back in the basket and honestly, I'm impressed. Civil disobedience is a big concept for him.

(Just kidding - we've been practicing tidying up toys into a basket recently so when he didn't get rewarded after the second attempt, I think he got confused and tried something else. Oops!)

My biggest downfall as a dog trainer and dog owner is cooperative care.

I love it in concept. I teach it to all my clients and really want Marvel to have a foundation in it. I think it's super important.

But the truth is. I really hate actually doing it. I thrive on training things where I see results easily. And even most B-mod I get that because i can see even the tiny results. But cooperative care I just find so slow, and I'm not good at actually doing it. I really struggle to work it into our training schedule because I just dont want to do it. This is 100% a me problem and I know that!

Pet tax for those who read my little rant.

Furry friends are patrolling the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea all summer long, helping to keep swimmers safe.

These specially trained dogs are experts at water rescue, and they can even tow multiple swimmers to safety at once.

Dog lifeguards are typically large breeds of dogs, such as Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and Labrador Retrievers.

They are known for their strong swimming skills, their calm demeanor, and their gentle nature.

To become a dog lifeguard, dogs must undergo rigorous training.

They learn how to swim in all types of water conditions, how to rescue swimmers in distress, and how to work with human lifeguards. 🏖️🐶

The Tyrrhenian Sea is located off Italy's western coast, between the Italian Peninsula and Sardinia Islands (Italian Territory) and Corsica Islands (French territory).

The sea borders several regions on the peninsula, including Lazio, Tuscany, Basilicata, Campania, and Calabria.

Recently I taught Milo to find my phone for me and I ask him to do it quite often, because he really enjoys it and I am constantly forgetting where I put my phone down. It's gotten to the stage where I can ask my husband if he's seen my phone and Milo will jump into action.

This morning said husband was looking for his wallet and Milo was like, oh you've lost something? This seems like a job for me! And started frantically searching. But obviously he had no idea what he was searching for so he just came and rested his head on my phone. While it was in my hand, being used. (':

I'm gonna have to find some more find/retrieve tasks for him to do because he enjoys them so much. Maybe fetching my meds when my alarm goes off might actually make me take them consistently.

As someone who's worked in the field with animals for a while now, I can not contain my rage for "doodles" any longer.

A "doodle" (labradoodle, goldendoodle, bernadoodle, etc) is NOT a recognized breed by any certified organization! Which means they have no breed standards, which is why every doodle you meet looks completely different from each other. In turn, that also means there are no reliable doodle breeders. A doodle is a "designer breed," which is just a fancy name backyard breeders came up with so they can sell genetically unstable mutts for premium price. There is no such thing as a pure bred doodle. It doesn't have a stable genetic pool, nor does it have a reliably known temperment.

Once a "designer breed" gets popular, everyone and anyone starts breeding them on mass! Which continues to contribute and make worse the already unstable/unknown genes and temperments of these dogs. This can cause a lot of early health and behavioral issues.

Whoever told people that these "breeds" are low-maintenance, mellow, family-dogs told the most profitable lie ever.

These dogs are mixed with poodles. The main draw of the poodles' genes is their hair. Which is known not to shed. However, doodles CAN shed (because they are mixed with breeds that do shed). However, they can't shed enough to be self-sufficient. So you may still end up with a dog that sheds and yet still has to take it to an expensive groomer every other week!

Which leads to the neglect. "Doodles" are notorious amongst vets and groomers alike for being neglected. The "breed standard haircut" that the general public has adopted is to let the hair grow shaggy and get matted. Yes, matted. For those uneducated, mats hurt, and they are known to grow bacteria. Any dog with poodle type hair needs PROPER brushing every single day. And not just with a slicker brush. There are several types of tools usually needed, especially a comb that can get all the way down to the skin in order to avoid mats. A dog that has become matted is usually considered neglected for all other breeds except "doodles." However, these dogs should not be forced to live with painful mats because backyard breeders lie to families and tell them they are low-maintenance.

The second issue that comes with poodle mixes is the temperment. Many people who adopt dogs don't consider whether the breed is right for them. Doodle owners aren't the only people guilty of this. However, because this breed doesn't have a standard nor has been around long enough for concrete specifications: we DON'T know the temperment and behavior of these dogs. Which makes it so much worse for those who may be getting a "doodle" as their first dog. At most, we can look at what a doodle is mixed with and make estimations. However, a common issue I see with backyard breeder sales pitches is that they advertise the side of the labradors and golden retrievers a lot more than they advertise the poodle side. Why? Because poodles are known to be extremely active, protective, and vocal. They also need a LOT of mental and physical stimulation. Poodles are extremely intelligent and are usually great for working jobs, agility, or showing. If they don't have some form of outlet for their high energy and intelligence, they may become a menace in the home. The average person I see getting "doodles" is either elderly or busy families. Neither may be suited for a "doodle" that has a temperment more like a poodle than a golden, etc.

Next the size... doodles are a mix. A mix advertised as a purebred without standards. Because their isn't a "standard" for a doodle, we don't know the size of them. Many "doodles" advertised as "miniatures" end up growing the size of their labrador counterparts, etc. It doesn't matter if a dog is mixed with a miniature anything if the other half is a large breed. Again, these dogs are being bred by people who don't know what they are doing. So it's a 50/50 whether you'll get a miniature or large breed dog. Not only that, but some doodles are starting to get reputations for being absolutely massive! I'm not entirely sure why, but these bad boys are starting to clock in at 80+ pounds!

Lastly, health. Again, this is a "breed" that hasn't been around long enough for concrete specifications when it comes to long-term health issues. However, what I can tell you is that these dogs are known to get things like hip dysplasia and luxating patella at as young as two years!! Not to mention the skin and ear infections they are prone to due to their coat and neglect. These dogs are also prone to neurological issues because of how much they are being bred without proper genetics taken into account.

The size, color, coat, health, and temperment of these dogs are a complete gamble. Any breeder breeding them is a backyard breeder, and anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt. Please stop purchasing these dogs for premium price from people creating genetic nightmares. Either wait for the breed to become established or rescue one. Do not participate in this marketing scheme that involves living creatures!
