No amount of pouring rain could stop these doggos and their owners from getting their game on! 💪🏼
Our final 2-hour “PLAY” workshop for the year went off fabulously ⭐️🐾 All 8 dog-handler teams worked on everything from tug and ball play, targeting, no conflict ‘outs’, fetch retrieve, 2-ball 1-ball, drive building games and possession (complete with soaking wet shoes! 😂👌🏼). I loved working 1:1 with each of you. Absolute troopers! 👊🏼
We will definitely be holding this workshop again in the new year ✨🐾

There was lots of sunshine, smiles and wagging tails at our recent “The E-Collar Way” practical workshop.
Attendees were accompanied by their dogs where we all immersed ourselves in the crux of ecollar conditioning, proper fitting, how to teach the language of the collar, layering it over obedience and how to proof that baby so you and your dog can live a life of freedom.
This workshop was structured very differently to the way I normally run them. The aim:
To open up the learning and real-time experience for anyone who was in the position to bring their dog and practice the things we spoke about.
All the dog-handler teams did amazing and some great work was achieved by all. And once again, my very own Fury (aka Furylicious) was right there being the best sidekick and showing everyone what avenues E-Collar freedom can open up 🐾💕
Thank you to those who came along. I hope you all had the best time. I sure did.

Need to go outside and know your dog won’t go bolting after, or before, you?
Need to come inside to grab something quickly and happen to leave the door ajar?
Don’t want muddy paws in your home?
Have kids and dogs in the same household?
Have visitors?
Teaching your dog to respect boundaries in an around your home is a valuable life skill that is useful for so many situations.

Aston and Rain’s owners found it difficult to walk these two together due to the constant pulling and erratic changing of direction when walking on lead.
The goal: Have them walk nicely on their harnesses using a coupler lead.
Our plan:
1) Teach them how to walk on independent leads first.
2) Introduce tandem walking.
Result: ⭐️👍🏼
They’re ready for go home day tomorrow.

Teaching new behaviours doesn’t always take long.
The basic (heel) position is something I taught Storm in previous sessions we have had together.
Three sessions is all it took.
When a dog understands how to earn the things he or she wants then teaching them to do things becomes much easier.
“Storm” - Board & Train (Tactile cues)
No verbal commands. Just tactile cues.
Further enhancing the language of the leash.

“Storm” - Board & Train

This guy can get possessive of toys and not want to share.
But he’s a fast learner 👍🏼

“Storm” - Less is more.
Interaction with a dog doesn’t always have to be loud and animated.
At times the opposite kind of interaction can have a better positive impact on the dog, mentally and physically, than a constant barrage of movement and information.
Because sometimes less is more.
Does your dog understand what BEHAVIOUR follows a verbal cue or marker? #dogtrainingtips #dogobedience #languageofdogs
Another full, unedited, uncut training session with Raven, our recent Board and Train dog. If you have the patience to watch it.
I will break this video down later. There’s some key pieces in here.
Some footage from earlier sessions with Raven, our Board & Train dog, working on impulse control, reward systems, value transfer and early progress of introduction of recalls/call-offs.
I’ve specifically left in the struggle points and learning moments we went through in this video collection as it’s a good, and realistic, viewing opportunity.
