Using 'Go Sniff' as a reinforcer for loosening the leash and returning back to me.
My FAVOURITE cue. One I will use every walk, with all of the dogs I train regularly.
Dogs love to do dog things

Nala (The superstar)
Currently NOT taking on any new clients for the next few weeks, if you were wanting to contact us but haven't yet, I am happy to recommend a trainer for you in the area.
Big influx of new clients recently and need to take some time to set up everyone for successful sessions and continued support.
Big thanks to those who've recommended us and keep coming back for more sessions / walks with your dogs. I love working with every single one of you 🐾
Here's a very lovely video of Nala this morning working on some loose leash skills and SMASHING it out of the park. 🌟❤️🐾

We are headed off on holidays for two weeks - any urgent training matters please check my website for an ethical trainer near you

We will back first week of August 🐾
(Don't worry Ed is off on holidays too - with his border collie friends at Noblestarzz)
Fast recalls with Charlie,
When initially teaching a quick recall, be mindful of when you ask the dog to come to you.
Wait until they have a second of either raising their head, or looking at you before you use your recall cue.
If I had tried calling her 10 seconds earlier, her head was in a bush and she was far too busy, I would not have gotten a response.
We are currently having a go at teaching a whistle recall -
New cue (whistle)
Old cue (Name and 'Come')
We could definitely reduce our cues here, but for today this combo worked well.
Does your pup tend to use their mouth a lot ....
Grabbing lead, hands etc ?
Edison was (and can still be mouthy at times, but I manage it well to try and limit this from happening) notorious for arousal mouthing and biting.
So we trained this neat little behaviour !
When moving quickly or through an environment likely to trigger over arousal, I'd like you to carry something in your mouth 🐾 cue the purple tuggy.
Check him out going for a jog with his tug firmly wedged in his mouth.

Ace loves to wee on stuff - so instead of pulling towards upright posts, I ask for a nose touch.
And reward him with access to the post.

Proofing foundations ⚡⚡
Those skills we teach our dogs inside the house... Also need to be taught and practiced in a variety of different environments 🌏
Charlie is showing off her VERY enthusiastic 'touch' behaviour of bopping her nose to my hand ✋

Using Go Sniff to reinforce a return to handler instead of continuing to pull me towards the good doggy smells
SUCH a useful skill to teach 🐾🐾

Edison has been taught from the first week I bought him home, that lead pressure (when the leash goes tight) means to come back into position to keep the lead loose. We also taught 'if I stop - you stop' via leash pressure as well.
Is he perfect at this .... no.
Will any lead skills be perfect in a constantly changing environment .... probably not !
But boy are our outings a lot nicer for these skills.
