Dogmanship Training

When things feel heavy, watch a dog.
The way they lay in bliss in a patch of sun, get so happy about a simple walk and do a whole body wag when their family gets home.
Their joy in the little things doesn’t solve our big things but it makes our big things seem less overwhelming for a minute ❤️

“Just ignore it!”
No doubt you’ve been given this advice before- and it does work! … until it doesn’t 😕

Sometimes ignoring a behaviour you don’t want is a great starting point, but if it doesn’t work don’t stop there- learn a method that gives you a way to clearly communicate with your dog so you can both end up with what you want! ❤️

We’ve all been there…
😩Maybe you feel like you haven’t trained enough today, or maybe everyday.�😩Maybe you feel like you should’ve done more earlier, when your dog was younger.�😩Maybe you feel like your dog isn’t reaching their potential.

I’m not here to tell you not to feel guilty.�I’m here to show you what to do when you do feel it.

✨ No. 1 – Ask yourself if this guilt is pointing out something real, or if it’s just you being hard on yourself. Either way, it’s ok! But we need to know.
�✨ No. 2 – Hire a trainer who doesn’t make you feel like crap. We all have to start somewhere and if your trainer is making you feel bad about not starting earlier, or doing something ‘wrong’. Get rid of them. We all make mistakes, the fact you’re trying to do things differently now is what’s important.
�✨ No. 3 – Find a program that’s actually sustainable for your life. If you know you’re never going to regularly attend the 9am Sunday morning dog training classes, don’t sign up for them. There’s plenty of ways to learn how to train a dog, find a way that you is sustainable for you and your lifestyle.
�✨ No. 4 – Go and do one 5-minute session with your dog right now. Give yourself (and your dog) a pat on the back. You’ve started and there’s no stopping you now!

And remember — my inbox is always open if you’d like to chat about which of my programs might be the right fit for you and your dog. 🐾

Doorbell rings 📦, the kids yell “I’ll get it!”, and suddenly your dog thinks it’s their chance for a great escape. 🚪🐾

Save yourself the panic by:
1️⃣ Teaching a clear boundary at the door.
2️⃣ Rehearsing recall right out the front.

Get in touch if you’re ready to start training!

Want your dog to come back at the park? Practice at home with distractions.
Want them to stay calm when guests arrive? Rehearse with pretend visitors.
Want them to chill at the café? Set up a “mock café” in your backyard with a coffee and some treats. ☕🐶

Training in low-pressure, fake-but-realistic scenarios builds your dog’s confidence and your own.
The more you practice before the real deal, the better your dog will handle it when it counts. 💥

I’ve seen first hand the difference a good diet can make to a dog’s behaviour!

Apparently adults tend to own similar breeds of dogs as their very first childhood dog?
Is that true for you? 🤷‍♀️

Oliver the Golden Retriever was my first dog and I’m still a retriever lover now 🥰
Oliver gets a mention in episode one of the ‘Dog Training Tips’ podcast too🎙️

Separation anxiety isn’t a life sentence. It can be very distressing for both dog and owner but there’s lots of strategies we can use to help!
