So Colonel and I have just got back from a fantastic session.
As you would expect, Colonel walks beautifully on a lead, but this wasn't always the case. There was a time where he would jump around like a looney and shout on walks.
Today I had a proud mumma moment with him. He was on his extended lead (no hate please). We were in the woods and he could have chosen to walk where he wanted, to sniff what he wanted and p*e where he wanted, but his choice was to walk by my side. He was the model dog walking to heel. I hadn't asked him to do that, but his own choice was to stick to me like glue. It was one of those moments that just melts your heart!

I am beyond upset by the decision to add XL Bully's to the banned dog list.
Breed specific legislation does not work. If it did, there would be no pit bull types.
More needs to be done to prevent dog attacks and BSL is not the way to do this.
For any of you who own an XL bully and are, rightly, worried about how the legislation will affect you and your doh, I want to reach put to you and offer some FREE group sessions to help with managing the changes.
If you have an XL bully and are worried about how this new legislation is going to impact your dog, please get in touch.
I am here to help and support you!

What nose this boy has! First scent work session and he totally bossed it!
His nose is incredible and he did brilliantly!

The wonderful piper on her first loose lead walking session. She was an absolute superstar and got the hang of it soooo quickly.
Can't wait for the next session.

02/05/2023

This wad an awesome loose lead walking session. Piper picked it up almost immediately and did everything asked.
Ignoring the end when she got too excited to see another dog! That is something to work on!

22/04/2023

This still rings true.

22/04/2023

More reactive dog class sessions. This is the beginning of the group so lots of distance and safe space is needed

22/04/2023

Chewing!
Yes, my dogs also do it! But I give my dogs am appropriate outlet for it. We have a large toy basket which they can chew on at any time. There is a large selection of different toys, chews, and interactive toys.
They have their own space in the fridge for food toys.
This picture may look bad, but this is all things they are allowed to chew.
I know that I am meeting their chew requirements and am happy to tidy up the mess.
Better this than my house!

Working with these two to become more social and more accepting of dogs saying hi.
They are amazing and even said hi to a very bouncy puppy!

22/04/2023

Working with this lovely girly to build confidence for her and her owner.
Not doing badly!

22/04/2023

My own journey with my dogs has had ups and downs, but when I look at them like thus it makes my heart melt.
They may not be obedience champions, they may not be able to do a record breaking agility run, but they do what I need.
This is why I train.
I want all my owners and dogs to be able to live together happily.
It isn't about being an obedience champion, it is about having a healthy, happy and harmonious relationship.
Our training is designed to do just this.
Whatever your issue we can help!

This lovely girl is learning to interact more with her owner and ignore distractions. She is coming along really well

22/04/2023

Lead walking training is coming along.
Session 2 and we are managing outside with minimal distractions. This poppet is 2 and before he came to his owners he had never been walked outside. This means everything is new to him.
Not bad work for session 2!

My dogs are trained to sit nicely and wait for their food

22/04/2023

Our reactive dog classes get some amazing results. From not being able yo get close without a reaction, to being able to walk passed each other and stop and say hi.
Working at the dogs pace, and helping the owner and dog work together as a team.

22/04/2023

So for 3 weeks I have been working with the beautiful B.
She lunges and barks at other dogs, wanting to play, but given her size it isn't always taken so well.
Her owners have put a lot of time and work into her training and today my lovely tarquin came and stooged.
We got super close and did really well.

When was the last time you let your dog lead your walk?
Try taking a walk with your dogs agenda in mind!

Today is my sisters birthday!
Happy birthday Sophie Davidson!
Do we have any other birthdays out there today?

Remember when you're glum that your dog thinks you rock!

22/02/2023

Who does your dog think you are?

21/02/2023

Do you let your dog on Social Media?

20/02/2023

Your training should be a lifelong journey.
Don't think of the destination - think of the adventure!

19/02/2023

If you don't train your dog, don't blame your dog.
Too many dogs are rehomed because they weren't trained!

18/02/2023

How much sleep should your puppy be having?
Remember this when you are having a bad day!

17/02/2023
