The CE (Bob) O has spoken.

It’s not fair for me to expect our team members to add on 60 minutes + to their day because dogs are not ready.

Especially as the winter months kick in, them standing in the cold waiting is also not on.

Support your dog walker/trainer, don’t make their job harder.

Thank you.

Please stop using your dog’s name as a negative.

Dogs do not understand their name the way humans do. They’re not strolling out on a walk introducing themselves like, “Hi, I’m Marvin, nice to meet you.”

To them, their “name” is just a noise that predicts something.

And ideally, that noise should predict good things.

When you say your dog’s name dog and then reward them, that word starts to build a positive meaning.
That’s the foundation of teaching a dog to actually respond to their name in a positive way.

But if you flip the script and start using their name when you’re frustrated or correcting them, the meaning of the name shifts. It stops being a positive cue and starts becoming something they want to avoid — which can seriously damage the relationship with your dog.

Another thing to keep in mind in communication and relationship, less is more. We see people talking way too much to their dogs, especially at the wrong moments. Combine that with overusing their name, and it turns into nagging.

And no one likes being nagged — not us, and definitely not our dogs.

Repeating their name over and over — “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby” — just teaches them to tune it out.

If you want clearer communication and more engagement, use fewer words tabs more clarity. And make sure their name stays something meaningful and positive, not something that just blends into the background.

Even if you have two dogs, you don’t need to constantly repeat their names. Dogs are smart. They know where your focus is and whether you’re communicating with them or not.

Speak less. Nag less. Slow down.
Use their name as a positive marker, not a negative one, and you’ll notice the difference quickly.

Guess the breed?
Last week we asked you to tell us what breed Bailey & Biscuit are!
They are cockador puppies and sisters from the same litter.
After both completing our puppy course last month they now come for daycare each week on different days, to get a break from each other, which litter mates need as well as have a great day with us.
Our daycare is structured rather than a free for all so we don’t allow puppies to pick up bad habits, we just practice the good ones and everything learnt in puppy school.

Bailey and Biscuits owners have been a client for years, and sadly lost their beagle Willow earlier this year 😔 so it’s bittersweet that we are working with them again.
