Obviously everyone is welcome to our charity dog show! We’d love to see as many out as possible 😁
We’re asking though, for fairness, that logo’d gear is only worn by those who have supported/sponsored the show.
The dog show is a charity show, a bit of fun to raise awareness & funds for Lost Paws NI.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the support of local & regional businesses so to return the favour we think it’s only fair that they get the chance to show case their businesses only.

Well worth a read 📚

What is the dominance theory?
This blog explains what it is and what we can do about it! 👇
https://www.bestbehaviourdogtraining.co.uk/blog-post/unmasking-dominance-theory-rethinking-canine-behaviour-and-training/

Dominance theory is the idea of being the "alpha" and a "pack leader" instead of your dogs being a companion.
We don't agree that the dominance theory should be used with dogs and that using positive reinforcement to reward our dogs has been scientifically proven to be more effective than using punishment. 🥰
We want your dogs to be happy and safe which the dominance theory can't provide. Many trainers still use this theory to train your dogs and teach you how to manage them... We are not one of those trainers! We pushed past those old ideals that we need to be alphas to our dogs and created our classes to be reinforcing of your dogs!

Come join us to learn with positive reinforcement and fun! https://www.bestbehaviourdogtraining.co.uk/puppy-training-classes/puppy-and-dog-training/

Beautiful Poppy is one of the Retriever puppies rescued by Almost Home Animal Rescue NI last week and she's got herself the best home! New owners have been doing a fantastic job so far helping to introduce this little one to the world and just needed a little more advice on how to manage her mouthiness 😬 She's gonna be a star! 🌟

27/09/2023

Remember Tupperware parties?This is the canine version 😂
Confused by all the conflicting advice on social media 👀?
Why not gather a group of friends,family and neighbours and get up to date reward based advice whilst sharing the cost and helping our local rescues?
Extra time may be given free if buns are provided 😉

Teaching your puppy to settle on a mat is a great skill to build from a young age and can be used both at home and out and about. Last night's puppies did a great job! 🌟 🤩

Just one of today's beautiful clients, Freddy the 6 month cocker. Isn't he a stunner? (He's also very,very smart 🧠)

The after effect of a puppy 1-1 home session! Little Rosie lasted just over an hour learning how to sit,lie down,settle and had a lovely tasty chew while we chatted about the importance of calm interactions with the children and how best to manage the bitey puppy behaviour 😴 🐾
