🐕 Training Tip Thursday :
Keep commands or cues short and clear.
Use single-word commands/cues like "Sit," "Stay," and "Come" to avoid confusion and help your dog understand better.

Silver Petcode Award
We had 4 dogs start their silver National Petcode Award on Saturday. In preparation we revisited some of the beginner obedience tasks and pushed some of the owners to trust their dogs more by removing the lead. #melnewtondogtraining #dogtrainingnorfolk #MNDT #practicemakesprogress #SitHappens #impulsecontrol #Proofing
New puppy class
3 of the new puppy class recruits at MNDT working on sit / stays. Massive progress made in just their first session, they came in bouncing and learned that settling meant there was a reward on the way. We can’t wait for the other two pups to join us next week #puppytrainingnorfolk #dogtrainingnorfolk #puppies #practicemakesprogress #impulsecontrol #melnewtondogtraining #MNDT #sithappens
Good morning
Well, we made it to Friday, here’s a little Friday fun to celebrate #melnewtondogtraining #dogtraining #dogobedience #puppyclasses #TrainingWithLove #MNDT #goodmorning
Considering we thought we’d lost her last Monday, Wren was completely on her A-game today on her first day out of her first season. With very little picking up opportunities I’ve had to be creative with how I work Wren so she joined Keith and I on the beating line.Steady to the countless hares and deer that went past, stopping when needed and flushing game through the cover, the girl did good. A well deserved rest for Wren this evening, me on the other hand, I’m off to the Monday night training walk in Attleborough this evening so off out shortly for the class.#beatingline #labrador #wren #covercrop
A huge well done to 5 National Petcode Bronze students who were awarded their rosettes and certificates today.The AIM of the code is to encourage dog owners to train their dog in Basic Obedience, to learn and understand the importance of handling and caring for their dog, also an awareness of the Laws relating to dog ownership. Petcode classes at MNDT focus on real life situations so that skills can be transferred to a range of environments from in the home, to public places and in the presence of other dogs in a manner that will reflect credit on the dog.The scheme is open to all breeds and dogs over the age of six months.#MNDT #dogtrainingnorfolk #consistency #Proofing #looselead #recall #foundationtraining #obedience #labrador #goldendoodle #borderterrier
Cast your mind back to when you started driving lessons.
You probably started driving on an industrial estate, or a car park, at most a very quiet road.
As your skills and confidence improved you would start learning in busier places.
Only when you have mastered the basics in do you the learn to drive through a city or on a dual carriageway.
So, when your dog training instructor talks about proofing your dog’s training in different environments this is exactly what they mean.
A dog that can recall in the kitchen needs to practise on a playing field, a footpath along a field, in woodland and at the beach.
You can’t expect your dog in the early learning stages to perform in every environment without learning how to ‘drive the car’ in each and every environment.
Training a dog of any age requires consistency and repetition. Set your dog up for success each and every time so they learn what to do in each and every environment.
MNDT provides dog training packages for puppies through to older dogs. Pedigrees to mixed breeds, including rescue dogs.
