Turning the slip lead into a figure 8 lead to help reduce extreme pulling! Sometimes it’s not the tool that’s wrong but how we’re using the tool. I find spaniels are so much better on a figure of 8 to help calm them down then going back to the slip on the neck muscles - I find they can put a lot of strain on their neck as puppies while training loose lead walking. 🐾

TRAINING TAKES TIME, DEDICATION & COMMITMENT! Koda came to me back in May and has since kept up with 1:1 sessions to build her confidence and reduce the fearful aggression. Koda is a 3 year old rescue with no background information other then she was bred with strong working lines (to which we will put to fulfilment and use once we’ve reduced her fearful aggression) and kept outside with never being taken out on a walk, seeing people/dogs/environment. Since our first session Koda has come a long way through her owner being very dedicated with her training, exposing her and building a relationship. I can’t wait to see how these two progress in the future joining onto our classes and working Koda 🐾 #dogtraining #exposure #fearfulaggression #behaviourmodification #dogs #gsd #mali #crossbreed

Teaching a dog tricks and obedience is easy, but keeping up with the training every day can be hard! Remember, your dogs only going to be as obedient depending on how much you put in! 🐾 #fyp #dogtraining #obedient #dogtips #germanshepherd #impulsecontrol

Breaking the stereotype of ‘dog trainers dogs are perfect’! Loki guards stones; nothing else. He wouldn’t attack me unless I provoked the behaviour. The behaviour is managed with commands, structure and boundaries. I can que Loki to leave the stone and he will do so and allow me to pick it up etc and control the situation. Lokis genetically driven and is only possessive over stones. Resource guarding is common in breeds but more so in drivey dogs. I want to see dog trainers expose their dogs and their faults whether it be big or small. I’ve met ALOT of trainers and seen their dogs faults or spoken about their faults, but only a small percentage of trainers will ever expose their dogs faults and how they manage this behaviour! Trainers, share your story and show dog owners there’s no such thing as ‘the perfect dog’! 🐾 #dogtrainers #dog #exposingourdogs #germanshepherd #beach #daytrip #breakingthestereotype

Benefits of raw feeding your dog: - Shiny coat and healthier skin - clean white teeth - cleaner & healthier digestive system - solid stalls - non bloating, more lean - more muscle mass - all natural *you know exactly what’s going into your dogs body! ❌ A lot of myths around raw feeding your dog is salmonella, expensive, messy and bones getting stuck… this is false information! Always observe your dog when eating any type of food, was your hands/surfaces after using raw food and never give cooked bones! ✅ All of looks raw food is from @rawkings_uk #rawfood #raw #dogfood #dogtraining #dogs #germanshepherd #puppy #healthydiet #dogdiet

Prioritising your dogs exposure to environments and teaching them to neutralise is much more important then teaching fancy tricks! ✅ You can teach tricks at any age but teaching confidence, an off switch and how to neutralise takes time and should always be priority ESPECIALLY with a puppy to create a balanced and happy dog! #dogtraining #dogtips #dogtrainer #dog #puppy #environmentalskills #obedience #neutralising

❌ Stop calling your dog without guidance! Recall tips; always have a reward ready to reinforce the behaviour, use a flexi lead for more effective recall (use the flexi lead or long line to bring your dog back into you when you call their name to guide them back in to you), reward as soon as your dog comes back, start off in low distraction areas and build this up over time, keep doing small reps 3x a day for 5 minutes to build on recall and keeping it fun and ONLY call the dog once, not 5 times! 🐾#recalltips #dogtraining #dogs #puppy #obedience #recall #dogobedience #essex #dogtrainer

It takes time earning the trust of a shelter dog 🐾Ft @yesdogtraining 🩷#dogshelter #portugal #dogs #puppies #buildingtrust #dogtrescue

If your dog struggles with staying in position, go back and keep applying reps untill you get them holding the position you’ve put them in, then reward to mark! Stop making the mistake of rewarding your dog if they come out of the position when you’ve asked for a stay behaviour. Little tip, lure your hand away in eye level rather then luring the hand up when you’ve fading out the lure in a stay position! ALWAYS go back in to reward rather then breaking your dog out of position while teaching them to hold it 🐾Reps & consistency is 🔑 ^ READY TO ADOPT AT @ericeira.paws #adoptadog #downstay #obedience #dogtips #dogtraining

The correct way to start your dog walk!

The correct way to start your walk should always be at the front door working on threshold training 🐾 A lovely home visit this evening with the gorgeous Shiba Inu - very well behaved, a huge credit to her owners who have been dedicated with her training! 👏🏼 #shibainu #dogtraining #homevisit #threshold #obedient

Every walk should start off with control. If you don’t have control at the beginning of your walk, don’t expect control during your walk. I always teach threshold with the crate door first so dogs don’t run out once the door is opened, I then release my dogs with a break command and get them straight by my side in a down position until I am all ready for the walk so I know I have full control and their safe from moving cars/dogs/people/wildlife. 🐾

Part 1: How to correctly apply the slip lead: this is why it’s so important you seek a trainer first before using any tool on your dog because every equipment must be used, applied & bought correctly for your dog! Please don’t just buy from the shops without understanding the tool or how it works this is where mistakes happen and behaviours get worse!

Pose command: this took a few weeks for Loki to learn, starting off by luring the treat over his head. Once his body extended and a paw came off the floor I rewarded. Over time the more I continued to lure the treat higher I increased the distance and duration. It’s important you don’t rush new commands/behaviours.. take your time and don’t rush. Remember to always improve, not PROVE TO OTHERS! 🐾Do you guys want a tutorial? #pose #dogtraining #obedience #dogs #germanshepherd

Stop believing that dogs in shelters are ruined dogs, untrainable dogs, badly behaved dogs! Let’s break the stigma with shelters and start sharing the truth about dogs who are neglected, mistreated, lost, feral, over bred, dumped, or lost owners… dog shelters around the world provide excellent love, compassion and empathy to help support and find loving homes for dogs. @paradisedreamhurghada in Egypt has been my favourite dog shelter run from pure love, NOT FOR MONEY! These people want the best for the dogs and bring them so much joy and happiness! #dogshelters #breakthestigma #championdogtraining #dogs #dogtrainer #dogsaroundtheworld

You should always have clear communication with your dog & boundaries on and off lead 🐾 #dogtraining #championdogtraining #dogwalk #obedience #obedientdogs #germanshepherd
