Name Training!
A vital skill to train with your dog.
It’s essential for great focus and for building reliable recalls.
Plus it’s soo easy to train!
Here’s how:
☀️ start by getting some treats & then going and chilling on the couch
☀️ when your dog ISNT paying attention to you, call their name ONCE.
☀️ if they look at you throw them a treat
☀️ then go back to chilling, waiting until they are back doing their own thing.
☀️ then repeat the process.
Do this a few times every day for a week & you won’t be saying “they never listen to me” anymore!
Pop a ☀️ in the comments if you’re going to give this a go this week!

I love my dog.
It’s something most people say about their dog.
For me, I would never purposely inflict pain or fear on someone that I love.
We have soooo many studies that show that aversive training techniques are not needed.
There isn’t a breed, behaviour issue, or skill that can’t be trained with force free methods.
So why are there still so many who are intentionally inflicting pain and fear on their dog?
It makes me so sad for those dogs and for their owners. Because for many owners they are using these methods because they don’t know any better, and we know that aversive methods severely damage your relationship with your dog.
If you’ve used these methods but you want to change, come work with me.
This is a no judgement zone, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done in the past.
We’ve all made mistakes, sh*t happens.
Let’s get you and your dog working together & enjoying life! ☀️

Take the pressure off puppy training.
It can feel overwhelming having a puppy and what seems like a very long list of skills and behaviours you need to teach them.
Focusing on confidence and environmental socialisation will be a game changer to you and your puppies life.
Start here and then worry about teaching skills.

Dog training is for life 🫶🏻
No matter how “good” your dog is, training should always be a part of their life.
Whether it’s to socialise them to our ever changing world, teaching them new skills or adding it purely for mental enrichment.
There is always value for your dog to be learning.
What are you training with your dog this week? dm me I’d love to know! 💗
Having a hard time reaching your dog training goals?
Try breaking your goal down into smaller steps.
That way you can feel successful more often along the journey.
For example: goal is loose lead.
Broken down to: focus, positioning, short distance, road manners, distractions, longer distances.
Have fun and go win some goals! 🎉
It’s the most important skill you can train your puppy.
Sleep affects growth, learning, ability to retain new skills, ability to absorb and feel confident in different settings, destruction or lack of, socialisation, play manners, and so much more!

We get it, you get home from a big day at work, and it’s a lot less brain power to take your dog for a quick walk, rather than a training session that you’re not quite sure what you should be training anyway.
But then you keep having the same issues popping up and it just all feels so bloody hard.
Well, we’ve come up with an awesome solution for you!
We now offer 1-1 training options during your dogs daycare day.
With 3 amazing packages we can work on all the important skills while you work, so you can spend more time enjoying your dog 🥰
Working on all things from high level foundation skills, grooming & handling, loose lead walking, recall and tricks. We’ve got you covered.
DM me or talk to our team about how we can help you and your dog today!
