This just emphasises why a TV Show will not replicate the advice of a certified animal behaviourist. Any gradual or sudden changes in a dog’s behaviour may also be related to pain in up to 82% of dogs*! So consulting your vet may help rule out any underlying issues.

My first thought was to delete the email. I'm not a fan of Graeme Hall. I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.

However, I was puzzled. Was the β€œcravat” unwell, and they needed a stand-in? I'm a nobody – why on earth would they want to film me training a dog when there are so many high-profile trainers out there? Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give the researcher a call.

I'm still in shock as I write this. The researcher explained that they wanted to invite me to Lytham with my Border Collie to "demonstrate" to Graeme Hall how I would train my dog not to respond to a phone ringtone.

Graeme would then take my training method and use it to teach the Border Collie of the family seeking help – all while filming it for his TV show!

WTF 😳😳😳

I decided to dig a bit deeper and reached out to the force-free dog training community to see if anyone else had experienced something this bizarre.

It turns out that many trainers had also been asked to attend filming sessions to show Graeme how to train dogs before the cameras rolled. Most reported that they refused because of his methods, but a few had shown him and his team how to train a dog, only to be dismissed without any credit for their expertise.

I then did some open-source research on "The Country’s Best Dog Trainer," as the *Daily Telegraph* calls him. He has no formal training in canine behaviour or training. He’s essentially winging it with the help of whatever trainers are willing to show up and assist him.

According to his website, he charges Β£875 per session πŸ€”πŸ˜§

Now I’m not someone who normally criticises other trainers. I prefer to let my clients decide if I’m the right trainer for them based on how I work with their dogs.

However, I couldn’t let this pass without making it public knowledge.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, please avoid this programme and this man. You have no idea whose techniques he’ll be using week to week, and given that most qualified and accredited trainers want nothing to do with him, the quality of training you’ll receive is questionable at best.

Instead, do your own research and find a local trainer who aligns with your own dog training ethics. Organisations such as The IMDT or APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers can help guide you to qualified & accredited trainers in your area.

I find visualisations are a easier way to understand complex issues. This shows some of the degenerative changes that can occur in the spine. These also common occur in dogs.

Teaching your dog how to lay on their side calmly and on command is such a great skill to teach them. Riley came for a puppy musculoskeletal check up recently and this on command skill was perfect to help me assess her limb function fully. If she ever needs physio in the future this skill would help make applying treatment so much more effective πŸ₯° Well done Riley and Emma at Confident Canines Dog Training for teaching dogs these life skills. 🀩

Lovely Riley showing off her side present to help with handling skills. πŸ₯°πŸΎ

We cover handling and cooperative care during our weekly Life Skills classes to help build confidence in our dogs so that when any medical interventions are needed, they are comfortable with the process. It's beneficial for grooming!

DEGENERATIVE MYELOPATHY (DM): Cooper chilling having his PEMFT treatment and Laser. DM has no cure. The degeneration of the white matter of the spinal cord result in progressive hind limb weakness, unsteadiness and then paralysis. So all we can do is try everything we can to help promote spinal health to try slow the progression of the disease.

PEMFT and Laser can be used to reduce inflammation and promoting healthy cell growth. Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy exercises are used to maintain hindlimb strength, function and balance.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY LOVELY PAWRENTS OUT THERE! I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you end up doing. πŸ₯° Trying to get these 2 to stay still in front of the tree was an interesting task πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆπŸ™„ Pigs in blankets for breakfast.

Monthly build update: So we are nearly water tight! Just skylights and door to go on. We have had a significant delay to our opening date due to permits and timeframes out of our control related to connecting to the main electric grid. So its looking like Spring 2025, which isnt ideal but hey, what building works ever go to plan! Staying optimistic as always, but even I’ve been close to breaking point. It will be worth it in the long run.

A big thank you to my current customers for keeping me so busy. I am currently putting a hold on any new clients. You can join my wait list which is currently about a 2 month wait. Just message me your details and I can add you. 😊

4 wheel drive in action!

PROGRESS UPDATE ON THE NEW CLINIC LOCATION: All the walls are nearly up! Just waiting for the special chlorine resistance paint to cure on the steelwork, then the roof will go on! Exciting! Parking will be available on site and we are just off the main A6 #newbuild

A few of you been asking whereabouts the new clinics going to be. We will be relocating sessions to our brand-new purpose built clinic 370 Preston Road, Clayton-Le- Woods, PR6 7JE in December (if building works stay on track 🀞🏻). Don’t worry, I’ll give you plenty of notice ahead of your sessions so just keep coming to Momentum Place for now. Im excited!!! The layout will be similar to the current clinic with a separate physiotherapy playroom and hydrotherapy room. we are going to have a larger in the ground pool, so it will be easier for the dogs to access. οΏΌ I can’t wait to show you around once it’s done. 🀩

Mitzie comes to help with hindlimb muscle weakness. Swimming is a great way for older dogs to exercise in supported, non weight bearing way; while improving strength and mobility globally. They can also move their joints in a way that is comfortable for them and within their limits and capabilities. #staffie #staffy #staffysoftiktok #staffiesoftiktok

Bagel @ribblevalleywhippets is super fit and competes in hun dog trails, canicross and bikjoring. He comes for physio and hydro to keep his muscles balanced and as an alternative way to exercise. #whippet #whippetlove #canicross #bikjoring #whippetlife #doghydrotherapy #canineconditioning #dogphysio
