It's a simple question...
'Who do you believe?'
The person that tells you?
Or the person that shows you?
2025 could be the year that your dog is safe to be off lead, can run free, that they aren't a danger to themselves and others.
Sonny, one of my dogs, as I've said many times, and told many people , was one of the most prey driven dogs I have EVER seen.
I've worked with HUNDREDS of dogs that take off after other animals, including ex hunting dogs, sighthounds the list goes on.
I standby the statement, that he was something else.
Categorically , Sonny would be DANGEROUS off lead around prey animals had he not been taught appropriately. He would be living a life of restricted misery.
Don't listen to the talkers, do your own research, and make up your own minds ☮️🐕

Millie - Collie X- prey chasing 🐕🐕
If you have taken what the Internet and the local puppy trainer tells you as gospel, then I wouldn't blame you for believing the proganda that they spew. Some of us don't have time to patrol Facebook looking for videos to smash our keyboards over.
What if there was a way of actually watching a dog being trained using something you are told causes them to go into meltdown?
Don't worry, we've got you.
Millie can't be trusted off lead because she chases other animals, a dangerous behaviour, I'm sure you will agree.
Here's some footage of Millie during her second ecollar session.
Probably best to make your own mind up.
Science.
That's it's for 2024 folks!!
Saturday saw our last working day of the year!
Our group classes absolutely did themselves proud !!
2024 has been very intense, we've have upheaval, changes, highs and some lows- but we've also had the pleasure of working with hundreds of dogs across groups classes, predation avoidance , 1:1s and behavioural modification sessions 💪🐕
A big thank you to you all, and a big thank you from me to Trainers Emily & Matt, we couldn't do what we do without them! 😀
From all of the training team, we wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas🎄🐕🎄
See you next year - theres ALOT of things coming!! 🐕🐕😀😀🐕🐕🐕
Leonberger Kuma is undoubtedly one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met 😍
Unfortunately her one downfall is prey chase- so we're doing something about it.
Second session of ecollar conditioning, she was fantastic and now her owners will put this step into place before we move on in a few weeks! 😀
Kizo 🇩🇪🐕
Back off lead and now making brilliant decisions around chase behaviours 🐕
Deer, Hares, other dogs all made appearances during his last ecollar session today- we've still got a dog 🐕🐕💙
Great owner, great handler of her dog, fantastic boy, now back to living the life he should!!

Rottweiler Maggie 🇩🇪🐕🇩🇪
Maggie has some issues with dog aggression , this began after she was attacked by an off lead dog.
A very well followed dog "training" company labelled her the "most aggressive Rottweiler we've ever seen" ( total bulls**t) , for a dramatic social media post. Unfortunately, choking her on a lead , as expected , wasn't really much of a solution.
This was from her second session - What was needed here is a relationship reset, her fantastic owner gaining back her confidence in her handling to guide Maggie through situations that cause reactions, learning how to break fixation before reactions occur, and showing Maggie what we want her to do instead.
Having her around a progression of stimulus really allowed us to put both dog and handler into uncomfortable territory, and they both did really well, we were all so proud of them both!!
Onwards to the next steps!!! 😀😀🐕🐕

The second Advanced Neutrality trip down to London 🐕🌲🐕🌲
Great work everybody !!
GSD Luna 🇩🇪🐕 finished her ecollar course yesterday, this lovely girl can finally get back off lead in safety🐕😁
Luna had issues with Prey chasing, and running over to other dogs- distance irrelevant.
Another dog that was heading for trouble until her owner reached out and did the responsible thing- but is now showing perfect decision making without any management or outside interference required 😃
These 2 really deserve this , and we couldn't be more pleased for them 😁🐕😁🐕

Walk & Talk- You dont have to put yourself and your prey driven dog at risk, & some ecollar trained dogs absolutely, definetly , not interacting with their environment 🙄
Science.
Don't let this happen to your dog, actions or lack of, can have unfortunate consequences.
Step away from the keyboard Babs😳
Jasper finished his training course with us today- he had issues with prey chase, and reactivity around dogs, this was preventing him from being safe to be off lead and living his life to the fullest.
Having completed ecollar training , his recall and decision making around prey animals is now spot on😀
With his reactivity, we have sought to teach disengagement , and to exist around others , particularly other dogs that are aroused- Jasper would take off to confront them beforehand, but today he absolutely nailed it , with Trainer Emily offering her calm expertise as always 😀
Jasper's owner travelled a long way to put in a good few hours of work with us regularly, we are all thankful for such a committed attitude and wish you both all the luck going forward 🐕😀🐕🇩🇪
