If the dish is too salty, adding more salt won’t make it sweeter.
If a dog is already overstimulated or overtired, giving it more to do isn’t the answer 🧘‍♀️

How to wow your dog trainer: solid recall.
I mean it. We see a dog that recalls well when we’re out and we will say “wow” out loud to ourselves. In our minds we are applauding you, thanking you, throwing confetti over you BECAUSE solid recall is actually really hard and most people don’t achieve it.
Good recall isn’t when the dog always comes back as long as there are no distractions. It’s when the dog comes back despite the distractions every single time. And that takes training, which is why we love it so much. When we see a great recall, we see your hard work 🎉

Now taking bookings for our February Puppy Classes!
If you’re thinking about getting a puppy this Christmas, we advise getting booked into classes early as our puppy classes tend to get very booked up! Which is GREAT for us - imagine spending every Thursday evening looking at baby dogs learning new things 🥹

Last minute fireworks fail-safes 🎆
1. Secure your property. Shut (and lock if needed) gates, doors, garage doors, windows and other exits
2. Crate your dog - give them a den to hide out in
3. Classic FM have a show on just for pets called Pet Classics tonight and Saturday night from 5-9pm. Play that to keep them calm

Before you say it… I know that every dog is different, some don’t fit the mould, each of our little friends has quirks. I have 2 dogs that are the same breed and they couldn’t be more opposite in personality!
BUT, having worked with a lot of dogs I’d say these are the commonalities I’ve observed, the good and the bad bits, and the bits Google won’t explicitly say.

A lot of people pick a breed because they love the sound of the personality traits they read about online, then get a surprise when those traits show up in real life at full volume. As trainers, we see this a lot. The things that make a breed brilliant can also be the things that are hardest to live with.

If you’re choosing a puppy, ask a trainer what they see as the best and the most challenging parts of that breed. Pick the dog that fits your lifestyle, not just the one that looks cute in a photo.

How to leave the house without craziness even though your has en.er.gyyyy!

Lots of people find the first half of the walk trickier than the second. Many people find simply getting out of the front door an exercise in patience testing and frantic pulling.

Pause.

Take 10 minutes off of your allocated walk time and spend 10 minutes at home getting the ‘out-of-the-door’ routine right to begin with.

You could try:
🧸 Playing with your dog for a few minutes to take the edge off
🦮 Put the lead on, then let your dog drag it around for a few minutes, instead of cuing the dog that equipment = excitement
✋ Stays by the front door. No rushing, and lots of rewards for good stays
🧘‍♂️ If your dog is good at place, you could even try a few minutes of place work to get them in the zone
🧑‍🎓 Reset expectations by building in a habit that the first 10 minutes of the walk is for loose lead walking drills always. This will create a pattern of calmer obedience, but takes a bit more legwork!

🚽 Tip: most dogs pull on the lead more before they’ve gone to the toilet. Try to give them a toilet break at the start of the walk to access the loose lead walk faster

And if your dog pulls throughout the walk? Send us a DM and we can help you arrange some 1:1 training so we can give you tailored advice for your dog.

Try changing up your pre-walk routine to get out of the house with a zen-like composure 🙏

Why choose Fetch Club?

Our mission is to actively help dogs and owners achieve their ideals, and to provide top quality mental and physical stimulation to dogs throughout Bedford.

A note from Jen, Head Walker and Dog Trainer

Here at Fetch Club we feel that dogs thrive on being challenged according to their needs. This is based on experience and repeated reports from clients that their dog seems happier, calmer and more enjoyable to be around after their walks with us. This is because a Fetch Club walk is not simply a case of letting dogs off the lead for an hour of mischief before being taken home. Every walk is tailored according to the dogs involved and every dog will be individually challenged in a way that helps them to grow. That could be growth in confidence, physical fitness or behaviourally. What’s important to us is that we provide a service that prioritises the overall wellbeing of your dog and how we can positively affect that in our time with them.
