Pup-date 💚

Max is one big, floppy social puppy. Thankfully, his owners knew that they would need some skills to get willing cooperation as this big guy gets even bigger (he is a Cane Corso / St. Bernard mix from a large litter)

Together with his owner’s dedication along with
✔️ An early start on kind, reward-based training
✔️ Good dog socialization experiences so far

Things are right on track for Max and his new family 👏🏻

Private puppy lessons don't mean you won't get socialization, but it does mean you can focus on the skills that matter most to you and your partnership together 🐶

Allowing dogs and their owners to find a peaceful balance is just one of the MANY benefits of being a dog trainer - but in this case, a little humour among the humans during training also went a long way!

Thank you for the incredibly kind words, and for seeking out advice to ensure a happy life together 💚🐶

The Sunday night insight we needed 🤍🐾😍

Walk with me; don’t just walk me. Slow down and see the world as I do. I know you’ve got things to do, places to be. But out here, with the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us, there’s a whole world worth noticing.

The autumn chill is in the air today, crisp and full of new smells. It’s different from yesterday, and different from the day before. Every day is new. The leaves crunch under my paws, and I stop to breathe in the rich, earthy scent of them. To you, it might just be a pile of leaves, but to me, it’s a story—one I can’t help but dive into, nose first.

There’s a squirrel somewhere nearby, I can sense it, darting up a tree, its tiny heart beating fast. And the wind carries whispers of things far away: a family cooking dinner, the trace of a cat that passed by early this morning, and the faint perfume of flowers holding on to their last bit of summer. It’s all here, swirling around us if you just take the time to notice.

You tug on the leash, eager to move on, and I can tell you’re thinking about something far away from here. But when we walk, truly walk, you and I can be in this moment together. Feel the cool air brush against your skin, let it wake you up. Notice how the sun filters through the branches, casting shadows that dance on the pavement. Hear the crunch of the leaves beneath our steps, like a secret rhythm just for us.

To you, it might be just another walk, a daily routine to tick off the list. But for me, every step is an adventure. Each scent is a clue, each sound a piece of a puzzle. When you walk with me, really walk with me, you’ll see it too. The world is bigger than what we’re rushing toward. It’s right here, in the small moments, in the quiet spaces between your thoughts.

So, slow down. Breathe. Let the chill fill your lungs and the colours fill your eyes. Walk with me, don’t just walk me. See the world as I do, if only for a little while. It’s all waiting for you, just beneath the surface.

Dog Trainer Tip 🐶
Training a chocolate lab puppy impulse control skills such as ‘wait’ and ‘leave it’, is best done through games - and if the children want to take part, that is doubly wonderful! 👏🏻🤎

If you’ve recently added a new furry member to your family, Paw in Hand dog training offers private puppy lessons that offer one-on-one training to meet you where you’re at. Why train ‘sit’ or ‘shake a paw’ when your puppy has already nailed them 🥰

Rosie is one lucky pup! 💚
Not only was she rescued from the , but her family has focussed on the all the puppy priorities to set her up for success; planning which situations to put her in, training skills at her level, and lots of fun and love along the way.

With scary costumes, haunting decorations in unique and unsuspecting places, sudden noises and ghostly screams, Halloween can be an extra spooky time for our furry friends 🖤💀
If your dog is more of a nervous Nellie, it may be best to keep them safe at home, adjust walking schedules and ensure their needs are thought of prior to trick or treating tonight 👻🎃

Happy Halloween!

These photos may not look like a big deal… BUT Pumpkin (the brindle bully breed mix), and Beatrice (the sensitive, sweet golden girl) made it INSIDE the building with no stress signs! To say both of their owners are thrilled is an understatement.

In this case, the social facilitation of another confident dog helped.
A huge congratulations all around, and a big shout out to Ivy, Maren's paw partner in crime 👏💚

Training is not a one-size-fits-all solution - let's work together to ensure the best outcome for you both.
