Hi everyone. I'm sorry if we've been a bit slow on the admin the last couple of days.

I'm currently training up the new girl, she's rubbish! 😂

10/03/2025

Teaching Nova to 'do nothing' was so important. It's great that I can get her fizzed up at a moment’s notice, but I also needed to find the off switch! Plus, the calmer she is, the more beer gardens I can visit in the summer 😂

08/03/2025

A busy day of a 1 to 1 and 4 classes, ending in 2 more teams completing their foundation stage, and moving up to the Improver award! 😁

I bloody love my job!

It's Cruftsmas! We're en route.

Looking forward to a shopping blowout and catch up with as many people as possible.

It's no secret that we LOVE the APDT Good Companion Awards. So much so, that this month in our members group, we're working through some of the optional extras from the curriculum

There's something for every dog in there. 1 month access is less than a tenner! - https://avondogservices.podia.com/the-whole-hound-community

Bertie boy showing off his Intermediate APDT Good Companion Award!

Settling in for another day of learning!

A little glimpse into our reactivity reset programme. 'The fizz up' lessons (part of the play module) are a small part of the big reactivity jigsaw puzzle.

Add this to your toolkit and let me know how you get on

24/02/2025

A lovely change to my usual start to Mondays. I had the privilege of talking to students about what actually goes into being a dog trainer and behaviourist, as well as the business side of things too.

18/02/2025

I'm crap at keeping secrets, and my event manager doesn't know I've already posted this!

More info coming very soon, but if you want to be first in the know, sign up to the mailing list here - http://eepurl.com/dtdOm1

This week we're shining the spotlight on an amazing team - Helen & Monty.

They've just completed their APDT Intermediate award. But what makes this achievment extra special, is that I first met Helen & Monty in my dog to dog reactivity course!

They've put the work in, remained consistent, built trust in every environment they find themselves in, followed the plan and are now reaping the rewards.

Well done team, a very proud moment handing over that certificate and rosette to you.

16/02/2025

If you're an owner, guardian or dog care professionals looking to increase your skillset, then come and join me for a day of learning and hands-on training!

We'll be covering:
Breed stereotypes
Breed specific behaviours & outlets
Selecting appropriate reinforcement
Schedules of reinforcement

This is a human only event, but dogs will be provided throughout the day to work with

My dogs adolescent phase was smooth sailing, said no-one, ever!

Puppy club was in full swing on Saturday. As always, classes are a blend of socialisation, confidence/resilience work and training. Classes are booked as individual sessions or blocks of 5 to be used within a 3 month period

Just put the lead on!

It doesn't always go to plan when filming!

If I have to witness these atrocities, then so do you 😂

The sun was out, the dogs were on form, and the puppy club nailed their recall from distractions Today was a good day
