Our Adolescent babies worked on settling and being calm in open green spaces. Learning that life slows down sometimes, so we just settle and watch calmly.
As perfectly demonstrated by little Jenson here ❤️

Halloween can be great fun for us, but can be scary and overwelming for our dogs.
So for all our clients, here is a little challenge to help desensitise your dogs early.
You have just over 5 weeks to complete this little challenge. Take a photo of your dog with the different halloween items.
Gradually introduce them with something nice such as tasty treats and praise.
Once you have either 5 in a row, or a full house, send me the pics (whatsapp preferered) to claim your prize.

We went to the field for a play at Hoopers this afternoon. My barrels blew away so i put a stool up for Cherry to go around, but it really confused her 🤣 still, as she hasnt done Hoopers before so I thought she did well

With so many dogs are off lead on this stretch of coastpath, Im suprised there arent more accidents. It doesnt matter how well trained you think your dog is ALWAYS keep them on a lead in potentially dangerous situations.

Between Polzeath and Greenaway
(62-2025)

Tasking to join Polzeath Coastguard and Boscastle Coastguard Rescue Team to rescue a dog over the cliff between Polzeath and Greenaway.

As the team was proceeding to scene, we were informed that the dog had been recovered by the Polzeath team. A stand down was issued and the team returned to base.

🐾💙 Keeping Our Four-Legged Friends Safe on the Coast 💙🐾

We all love a good walk along our beautiful coastline – and so do our dogs! But cliffs, fast tides, and rough seas can be more dangerous than they look.

Please help us keep everyone safe by:
✅ Keeping dogs on a lead near cliffs and fast water
✅ Staying well back from the edge yourself
✅ Calling 999 and asking for the Coastguard if your dog gets into trouble. Most dogs make it back safely on their own, however we do not want owners to put themselves in danger trying to help.

We know how much your pets mean to you – they’re a part of the family. Let’s keep every coastal walk a safe one – for you and your four-legged friends. 🐶💙

Balanced trainers often tell us positive trainers that we should “find middle ground” and be more open to their methods.
Here’s the thing though, this isn’t just a difference in style, like choosing between Coke or Pepsi. It’s a difference in ethics.
Using pain, fear, or intimidation in training crosses a welfare line.
Asking for “middle ground” on this is like asking people who oppose child abuse to compromise with those who use it. If you believe something causes harm, you can’t ethically meet halfway on it.
We can absolutely have conversations about goals, science, and effective teaching. But “compromise” only works when both sides agree that the other’s tools are safe and humane—and that’s exactly where we don’t agree.

Decades of research in animal behavior show that aversive methods may suppress behavior in the short term, but they come with risks: increased stress, anxiety, aggression, and damage to the human–dog bond. On the other hand, positive reinforcement not only teaches dogs what to do but also builds confidence, trust, and long-term reliability.
Meeting halfway on the use of pain and fear would mean ignoring what science and welfare tell us

NO actual POSITIVE TRAINERS would ever be willing to cross that line!
