‼️

You’re on a walk and you see a dog on a lead. Your dog is running free.

Q: What should you do next?
(Cue *who wants to be a millionaire* music).

Is it:
A: put your dog on a lead
B. Let your dog run over and say hello.
C: Shout “Don’t worry, he’s friendly.”
Or
D: What dog? You were playing candy crush.

The answer is…. A.

Did you get it right?

Many dog owners don’t. They don’t understand what a negatively life-altering situation a rogue dog can be for on-lead walkers.

Here’s why:

Dogs you don’t know could be on lead for 100s of reasons.

They could be blind.
They could be recovering from surgery.
They could be deaf.
They could be aggressive.
They might be scared of being approached by strangers.
They might be training.
They could be a service dog.
They may be a rescue.
They might be terrified of dogs they don’t know.
They could be elderly or physically vulnerable.
They might simply prefer to walk on lead.

In the end, it doesn’t matter why they are on a lead. It’s none of your business. But what is your business is CONSENT.

Leads are a little flag that say “don’t come close”.

When you see them, putting your dog on a lead is respectful. You show the other owner that you CARE about their choice and consent. It doesn’t matter if your dog has 100% perfect recall. You respect the other person and their dog enough to be courteous and kind to uphold everyone’s safety by making absolutely sure everyone is on a lead (no matter how much you trust your dog).

As a person who is often walking a dog on lead for all of many the reasons listed, I can’t tell you how my heart sings when I see someone extend this gesture to me and my pack.

Your dog has no right or business running up to ANYONE (dog or human) without clear PRIOR consent to do so.

You have a responsibility to ensure your dog is in control in a public place. Failing to recall is an offense. It counts as a dog out of control in a public place.

Please remember to…

🐶🐾 Give Space and Be Responsible 🐾🐶

4 years since Brodie came home and it has honestly flown by. He has taught me so much and given me more than I could ever ask for 🥰⠀
⠀
Brodie is always up for anything (and he’s usually pretty good) whether it’s agility, scentwork, gundog training or helping me out at work with with clients dogs. But above all he’s my best friend, makes me laugh ever single day and I don’t know what I’d do without him 🧡⠀
⠀
Here’s to many more years of the best cuddles and annoying each other 🦊 forever grateful to James & for letting me have him 🫶🏻

Recently we’ve had an influx of new clients making concerning comments such as:

• my last trainer told me that reactivity is a breed trait and that it is permanent
• my behaviourist told me my dog’s boisterousness will take years to go
• my veterinary behaviourist told me to use only positive reinforcement (this was for an overseas ex-stray who has bitten 3 visitors to the house, one bite requiring stitches)
• the last trainer charged me £450 to sit on my sofa drinking tea - she left me with a generic document about counter-conditioning and that’s it

Many of you will be able to relate to that last one.
We are SICK of so-called dog trainers (behaviourists, ‘veterinary behaviourists’, whatever they want to call themselves) making unfair, ridiculous, inaccurate or even harmful comments that they are not experienced enough to make!
These utter clowns have caused innocent dog owners to believe they will have to live with reactivity forever, that dogs will ‘grow out of’ boisterous jumping up, that aggression can be resolved with a bit of cheese…

Normally we keep ourselves to ourselves and train whoever wants to be trained, not joining in with nonsense & incorrectness.
However, we are now making a public appeal to look for RESULTS rather than sweeping statements! They may have 10 ‘qualifications’ but this is an unregulated industry. They can claim they are ‘science-based’ and ‘positive only’ all they want, but it’s these people who are sucking thousands of pounds from the general public in exchange for NOTHING!

What should you look for in a trainer?
• exceptionally well-behaved, obedient, neutral dogs
• proof they can handle high-drive dogs
• no blanket methods - your trainer should understand every dog requires a different approach
• proof they can handle aggression & reactivity (if that’s what you’re paying for)

Some ‘force-free’ social media dog trainers with enormous followings sit on their sofas bitching about e collars and prong collars, yet they have dogs who can’t recall, dogs who are still reactive, and dogs who are “still” destroying the house!

Wake up - don’t fall for what is only marketing 👍🏻
