Carrot is 11 today !!!

What a true partner in crime he is. And an amazing big brother to Nova.
Who knew the little scared dog from Ireland, would be such a cracking little search dog and a pretty cool demo dog for the classes. Xx

A simple guide to loose lead walking.
Remember to also click on the walk, when the dog is in a nice position, feeding down the side of the leg.
Progress will be slow, be patient

Where it all started ... my love for dog training began as the equipment fetcher at Cosford dog training...
A young sulley- tested my patience and skills as far as he could 😂😒 so glad I'm as stubborn as he was and refused to give up on the training 😂🥰

The dog training (and training in general!) world lost an icon yesterday. Karen Pryor passed away yesterday age 92.

Most people will not know her name, but I personaly think they should!!

Don't Shoot the Dog - Karen Pryor Academy, and multiple of her books are just a few of the things that she created that enabled me to be the trainer I am today.

Don't Shoot the Dog, and Reaching the Animal Mind are two books that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about clicker training and positive animal training.

Karen pryor was a pioneer in the use of behavioral science, she started by developing the dolphin shows at Sea Life Park. While there, as the curator and head trainer, she did ground-breaking work on animal behavior and cognition. Her work then led to the first scientific paper on training animals.

Karen Pryor saw the big picture, and understood how these training techniques could create empathetic and effective communication not just with marine mammals, but with all other animals too.
She advocated for all Animals in captivity, so that they are now handled more humanely and are trained without force and pain ! What a woman!

Thank you Karen Pryor for your incredible contributions to the world!
