When your dog is anxious about something in their environment or about following a cue to do something, the last thing they need from us is saying “it’s ok, you’ll be ok”.
In saying this, we just reinforce their anxiety & fail our dog in giving them a solution to the anxiety.
We have 2 options…….
1) Move your dog away from person, place or thing, creating distance & reducing anxiety immediately. You can work on proximity & desensitising slowly over time.
2) Having built a foundation of trust & consequences with your dog in everyday training over time, encourage your dog to follow your cue. Never force their decision but make the right choice easy & the wrong choice a bit harder.
It’s amazing how much confidence your dog will develop in themselves & in you…..a fair, clear & consistent leader.

Great team Boris❤️ You know you’ve got a good thing going in training when your dog keeps one eye on you at all times & no verbal cues are needed.

Nothing feels better than a cool water dip after a really great training session.
Boris you’re such a loveable goof ball❤️

Engaging Boris’ nose & close by barking dogs don’t get any reaction from him.

Dennis & Nora❤️
I was asked for some training help from an older gentleman with his 6mth old Lab that was pulling on walks for some loose lead training…..OMG!! was my initial thought.
This could go in any number of pear shaped directions!!
But it didn’t. It went so well.
Dennis is one feisty determined gent & Nora a responsive gentle young dog.
A training session that I won’t forget for a long time.
Thanks Dennis for a wonderful afternoon.

A much happier & relaxed Boo out on a walk.
Thanks for the video update Sam
Gorgeous Ruby 8yrs & puppy Angus❤️
Bringing a new pup into our home & introducing them to our older dog is rarely easy. Our vision is of dogs being best mates straight away & frollicking in the garden together….!!
The older dog is established & comfortable with our lifestyle & routines….owning dogs seems uncomplicated, let’s get another one😜
Reality is it takes time, good management, supervision & structure. It’s lots of hard work but so rewarding when it works out.
Joanne Butcher & her husband John have put so much time & effort to set their dogs up for success & a happy life together.
Loved meeting you guys & seeing how much you’ve achieved.

Little Miss Luna having some fun yesterday in the tunnel.
She’s at that perfect age up to about 16wks old of Critical Development where it’s so important to expose her to as many things as possible….no fear here😁

RECALLS🤔
Want to know why your dog ignores your call or only comes when they feel like it? Simple - there's something better on their radar!
Once you set the rules with coming when called, you need to consistently reinforce those rules. This means that off leash freedom needs to be earned by reliable behaviour over time and if your dog gets rusty on their recall again, freedom is restricted again for a period.
When you leave a recall to chance and just hope for the best when you call, you are allowing your dog to repeatedly see that the command is optional and that there could be more interesting options out there.
That's why we train recalls on a long line in many different environments and situations. This way, if the dog doesn't come on command, we can reel them in like a fish.
Through repetition the dog can start to believe that coming when called is never optional - it simply always happens.
Luna here has a reliable recall in her backyard when there’s not much else but me on her radar. She still needs the support of a long line when out & about so she is set up to be successful

A bit of fun with Scout…find the little boy in the grass🤪
Distracted by another dog but still able to listen & do what was asked of him.
Working within your dogs threshold of being able to see & cope with a trigger in the environment but still being able to listen is an important part of training

Quite often it’s the simple changes that dogs make in training in everyday life skills, that are the most significant. Some of you might have a dog that walks calmly & loosely next to you all the time, but so many folks struggle with this seemingly basic skill….it’s not always easy or simple to master.
Luna is a high energy girl & easily aroused. Walking calmly on a loose lead is not something she has had the skills to do….until yesterday👌
Her owner Fiona has an injury so I’ve been helping out with some training.
Great job yesterday Luna😁
