As if someone told me I shouldn’t be training my dog at Rooksbury Mill! “It’s for dogs to meet and play” was the response I got when asking her to recall her dog while we train 🤦🏻‍♂️

Happy Christmas everyone, from Scooby and me. Best wishes.

Good evening all, hope everyone is well. Just a quick update on next year... firstly the diary is open for bookings starting the second week in January.

What's changing...

I will now only be offering one to one training for Basic Obedience & Engagement, along with the 3 workshops currently available. Social Neutrality, Loose Lead Walking and Recall.
I have decided to step away from Puppy training, there are so many good trainers and classes out there, my time is better spent helping older dogs.
By all means I will still offer one to one's and clients will still be given my Toilet Training Guide and guide on important steps to take with puppies.
Group sessions, I will continue to take group social sessions, hopefully once a month, primarily open to clients I am working with at the time.
Fees are remaining the same.

Unfortunately I will no longer be accepting cash as payment.

What's new...

Diet & Nutrition will be a focal point for me next year, having already written successful plans for clients I really want to push this next year.
The plans are individually tailored to your dog, its breed, lifestyle, medical history etc etc.
Plans come with a full list of ingredients with the health benefits of each one, plus a step by step guide on how to make it and where to buy certain ingredients from.
My plan is to eventually make and sell, but this is work in progress and will not be happening in 2025.

Best wishes to you all and your families.

If someone has to ask you to recall your dog, you already don’t have control it! Ask yourself why your dog chooses to run to other dogs, people, animals etc! The answer is simple, you just haven’t bothered to put in the time and effort to train. Shouting “my dog is friendly” isn’t enough.

And that’s a wrap…diary is now closed for the year with the last available slots now booked.

Thanks to all the amazing people I have worked with this year, and of course all the dogs. I will create a video reel soon of showcasing this past year.

Lots of new and exciting projects coming next year with a particular focus on food and nutrition.
Some changes to how sessions will work and what I will be covering.

Have a great Xmas and best wishes for 2025

Diet and nutrition is something I will be getting more involved in next year. Already sent tailored plans out to a handful of people. Receiving this review was amazing. Talk to me if you have a fussy eater, dog with ailments or allergies, or just looking to give your dog a balanced, natural and healthy raw diet.

My goal is to manufacture and sell quality hand made individually tailored dog food…this is the start of the journey!

Treats not working? Despite the nonsense spouted by some trainers, treats will not get you where you want to be. They’ll do a job to a point but if you want your dog to start working for you, build better engagement! Through play is always a good start. Give it a go…instead of just walking and throwing a ball with no purpose, play structured games using the ball. 👍🏻

Thought I’d join in on the fun 😂😂😂

Home Assessment with German Shepherd ‘Eyela’ Lots of pent up energy, reactive to dogs and poor lead walking. First things first, removing that awful Halti head collar, they DO NOT work. They mask a problem and don’t teach dogs a thing. Slip@lead on with lead pressure training. Walks 15 mins apart. 👏🏻

Tools or training?
Tools or training?

I posted this on TikTok in response to an ad for a figure 8 lead. Is your dog responding to training or the tool masking an issue??

Yep!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Second Fox Red Lab this week. Very similar issues. Again, a bit of a reset and back to basics.

Second Fox Red Lab this week. Very similar issues. Little engagement and pulling on the lead. This is just the assessment, we started some engagement work and changed the slip lead for a field slip and fitted it correctly and safely ready to teach lead pressure. Lots of work to do and looking forward to progressing this pup.

Plenty of work to do but Reacher and Luna are well on their way. Heavy pullers on their harnesses. Switch up to a more appropriate form of lead communication and training.

Put in the work and you’ll get results. Doing bits here and there or hoping for the best will not get you there. Listen to your trainers, as extreme as some of the advice is, do it. 🤷🏼‍♂️ What you see in this video is me and my dog on a normal morning walk. He has all the freedom in the world but chooses to stay close and check in regular. Good engagement and training got us to this point, not sheer luck and prayers.

Staffy x English Mastiff ‘Isla’ is learning at a crazy rate! Loose lead walking training ☑️ 4 months old and can’t wait to progress her on to bigger and better things. 👌🏻
