Diet can play a major part in your dog's behaviour and lifestyle.
A balanced raw diet can help in so many ways, from joint and gut health to immune system benefits and brain health.

Worried about a raw diet? Heard bad things? Unsure if it's right for your dog? ....Talk to me. I can tailor a plan which you can make yourself, i'm not here to sell anything...Yet!

Making it yourself can save you money on the subscription based raw diets, using 100% natural and human grade food.
I can make a batch of food which will last 3 days in about 30 mins.

Interested...take 5 minutes to complete the online form below and I will get back to you with a complete diet plan, full list of ingredients with measurements and how to prepare it, mix it and store it.

This is a painful watch at the best of times. But the episode I’m watching is even more so.
Two cases with working dogs and this guy hasn’t a clue!
But more to the point neither do the owners. Research the dog you’re getting and question yourself on whether you can meet its needs. You’ll find yourself in a world of 5hit if you get a working breed and do nothing!

So important to start training from day one, whether it’s a puppy, rescue or rehoused dog.
Get your dog in tune with you, create that engagement and bond.
Put in the hard work and you’ll be much happier 👍🏻

Every time you let your dog off lead and hoping for the best, you’re failing your dog.

First time I’ve been to the street food thing in town, proper banging pulled beef bun from Sanger&Jones Street Food 👌🏻

Great decision. We just need The Chantry Centre to allow dogs, must be the only shopping mall that doesn’t now…unless the 4 shops in there are against it! 😂

The Range have announced that dogs are now welcome in their stores.

In a post on social media, they said:

"We have some pawsome news to share... Our stores are now DOG FRIENDLY.

"That's right, we're now welcoming four legged furry shoppers in our 200+ stores nationwide and perfect timing!

"Our Pet Event is on in-stores today for you to ‘fetch’ incredible deals across pet supplies! RUN, do not walk!

"Find your local store here>> https://www.therange.co.uk/stores/

• Dogs must be on a lead at all times while inside a store
• Well behaved dogs only! Owners are responsible for their dogs' behaviour and must ensure that they are well-behaved, and do not disturb other customers
• Owners must clean up after your dog if necessary, and be mindful of their surroundings "

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??

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?

Yep!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lots of my clients are shown this game, and lots are finding their dogs are becoming more engaged and are more fulfilled on walks. It’s a simple game that challenges your dog to find something you have thrown or hidden. Try it 🤷🏼‍♂️

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. 👌🏻
