I'd like to welcome Freedie. A young male Patterdale. This was taken at the beginning of our first session together. Unfortunately it was pitch black by the time we finished and he was recalling with a little jump spin into heal, so I couldn't film it. I will get it next time.
He is a great dog just has some rather large feelings about rather large dogs. So next week Blue and I will be helping him to gain confidence and some understanding of how to behave around other dogs.
He is such a dude. We had great fun.

We had The Dynamic Duo out for training this afternoon.
The boot opened n they were shaking with anticipation to train.
That's right, shaking with excitement to get out and train with "The Big Bad Balanced Trainer"!!

On a more serious note....

When the training is done right, the work itself becomes the reinforcement and dogs will work harder and harder to "work".

I wish I was better at the whole social media game!!
If I had more time I could make better content. If I could make better content I could spend more time making videos. That way I wouldn't have to spend more time training dogs. But if I spend more time making videos I can get more clients which I wouldn't be able to spend time with because I would be busy making content!

F**k that I'm out playing with dogs all day!!

⚠️⚠️⚠️RANT TIME!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️

I am getting very tired of trainers letting down clients and their dogs. Trainers who bite off kore than they can chew and people are being left hanging with a dog, they end up believing, that cant be helped.
Its not the methodology at fault, as I know some great ff/pp trainers, it is trainers believing that their obedience training is going to solve aggression!!

Teaching a dog how to sit, down and stay is great and a good foundation. But it does not get to the root of why that dog is biting people!

Most trainers that i know, myself included, will always refer out to other trainers when they have a dog that does not fit in their own wheelhouse.

Its not difficult and it doesn't make you a s**t trainer. It shows that you have enough personal awareness of your own skills to know what you cant do!

I hear it far too much how people have been promised so much and been delivered so little!!

Nearly 6 miles n they are still going strong.

Whoever said "a tired dog is a happy dog." Have never met my dogs! I have tried so many times to wear them out.....

It doesn't work!!

And for those who will say use their minds and play games that will do it.

It doesn't i do it all the time and they just push to do more!

After the first 2 days I feel like we are cheating today! Great weather a light pack and we are walking the camel trail so its nice a flat. Such a welcome reprieve from the sideways rain, dark and fog we have been walking in!

On the road again. Late start today, I do have a 4 hour window you get my 10miles in today. Which is handy as I walk at an average of 2.5mph!!

Please help us raise money for older dogs to help them get rehomed.
