Want a reliable dog? Build a high reward history!

Every time your dog makes a good choice — sitting calmly, looking at you, walking nicely — reward it.
The more you reward the good stuff, the more your dog will choose to do it, even when things get exciting or distracting.

Think of it like a bank account:
The more deposits (rewards) you make for a behavior, the stronger and more automatic it becomes.

Good behavior doesn’t just “happen” — it’s built through lots of positive experiences over time!

High reward history = high reliability.
Keep the treats flowing and watch the magic happen!

𝗛𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲!

It’s been a while—life took a bit of a turn!
I somehow ended up becoming important at my other job (who knew?) and it completely took over. I’m now a team leader in a care company, and funnily enough, a lot of my dog training skills have actually helped me thrive in that role!

As much as I love what I do, I’ve really been missing dog training. Not doing it has left a massive hole in my heart and honestly, it’s taken a toll on my mental health.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀

Now that I’m working full-time with a stable income, I don’t 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 to charge high-end prices—which means I can now offer affordable training and help more people without breaking the bank.

There’s such a toxic mindset out there that says if you can’t afford professional dog training, you don’t deserve a dog. That’s just not true. Life throws curveballs, and circumstances change all the time. I remember once selling my Xbox just to afford a training session for my dog—so trust me, I get it.

Usually, you’re looking at £𝟱𝟬+ 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 for decent 1:1 dog training.

Sessions can take place in your home, outdoors, or wherever suits you and your dog best.

I’m based in 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺 – travel outside the area may include a small additional charge.

If you’re interested or just want to chat more about your dog’s needs, send me a message and we’ll set up a phone call to go over everything!

My boys had a blast at the local dog park today Doggos World
Completely secure, well kept, box of toys, fresh water, a bin and poo bags which was really nice to see!
Definitely worth a visit! My boys loved having a good sniff and explore!

Another session completed with Derek the Borzoi yesterday!

Derek was absolutely phenomenal and he blew me away yesterday with how well he managed the dog passes! We went to a pretty busy park, with lots of off lead dogs and the improvement in his barrier frustration is huge!

A few more sessions and I think Derek will be flying, doing dog passes super easily with no worry at all! He's a big lad, and he's very strong so we have to make sure that he can pass dogs when he is on lead without dragging his Mum over!

What a boy! ❤️

Lovely Nemanja the Cane Corso!

Yesterday evening concluded Nemanja's training package with KMDogs. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with!

This massive puppy is an absolute delight of a dog, genuinely such a sweetheart and I can see him growing into a lovely stable dog.

Nemanja's owners got in touch with me after they were experiencing some worrying behaviour around resource guarding and growling/ snapping when he wanted to be left alone.

After meeting with Nemanja, it became clear to me that a lot of his behaviour is nerve based and there is a lot of insecurity there. He is very noise sensitive and likes interactions to take place on his own terms.

We devised a plan going forward that focused on building relationships with all family members in the home. We outlined rules for all the humans to follow, making sure that Nemanja was given the space he was asking for. We worked on making all interactions positive using markers and food rewards and we went through protocols around safely managing resources; making it abundantly clear that no one should ever remove anything from him without offering something of higher value in return (trade games). We went through how important it is to advocate for their dog with other people and dogs, making sure all interactions with the outside world remain safe.

Probably the most important thing we helped Nemanja's family to understand is how to read his body language, so they could understand him better and be able to listen to him when he was communicating with them. Being able to read the dog in this situation is so important, as if earlier signs are ignored, there can be escalation in behaviour. This is a dog that finds pressure from eye contact extremely difficult so we also went through different rewarding games the family can do to help him with this.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the dog this boy grows into, his family have all the information they need now, and lots of different, fun things they can do with him to help him grow into a confident, happy dog.

Good luck guys, and well done for all the work you've put in so far 👊

Jude the dude! Did not want to look at the camera once today, but oh well, he's still a gorgeous lad!

We worked on some recall drills tonight and he absolutely SMASHED it! (Of course!) Mum and Dad have been working really hard on his recall and the improvement is amazing!

He is becoming much more neutral to other dogs every day and his confidence in new, noisy environments is improving a lot too! Such a cool kid he is 😎

Had an absolutely fantastic day yesterday with .cheshire! Super fun and informative day!

It's super important in my opinion for anyone that works in the canine industry to be first aid trained! This way you can rest assured that your furry best friend will be in the best hands if there is an emergency! I would always recommend that you take an in person course too, as it is so much more in-depth than it is online.

Dog first aid training isn't just for pet professionals, owners and handlers should look into it too! It's vital to know what to do if your dog was to ever need emergency care!

Had such a brilliant session this evening with Nikki at

Akio absolutely loved learning trail hunt and I cannot wait to see how we progress! I love how versatile of a dog he is, and he takes new things in his stride all the time.

I would recommend doing trail hunt to absolutely everyone, it is such a brilliant way to tire your dog out and help keep them fulfilled.

Now off to do our homework 🫡
