Why Continued Learning Matters for Your Dog’s Wellbeing

At Paws positive dog training, we’re passionate about staying up-to-date to give your pets the best possible care.

The pet care industry is constantly evolving, and ongoing education helps us bring fresh insights and techniques back into everything we do.

Next week, I’ll be heading off again this time down to the ABK conference in Kent which includes some amazing speakers from both this country and internationally from Friday to Monday, investing once again in furthering my CPD.

Every bit of knowledge I gain there, will come back to help not only myself but also our teams across all three of our businesses.

Why Is This Important for You as a Pet Owner?

1. Enhanced Understanding and Compassion: Conferences and workshops allow us to dive deeper into dog behaviour, ensuring we understand your pet’s needs and signals better than ever.

2. Safer, More Enriching Experiences: With new techniques, we can offer activities that engage dogs both mentally and physically – perfect for high-energy dogs who love a challenge!

3. Continuous Improvement for Comfort and Care: We’re always evaluating our practices to ensure our services remain top-notch for you and your pet.

For fellow pet care providers – whether you’re a dog walker, boarder, sitter or part of a dog daycare – ongoing education lifts the standard of care across the board. When we keep learning, we offer our clients and their pets more peace of mind, compassion, and quality.

So next time you see a pet care provider attending a seminar or sharing something new, know that it’s part of a commitment to excellence. At Paws Positive Dog Training, we’re excited to keep bringing back the best for your pets.

If you have questions or want to learn more about our approach, don’t hesitate to reach out. And to my fellow dog walkers day care centres trainers and boarders, feel free to share this post to show your clients your dedication to learning too!

I will look forward to sharing posts about my trip to Kent.

🎄 It’s that time of year when the delivery driver practically knows us by name—if you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking you should own shares in Amazon! With all the holiday shopping, we’re in for a steady stream of posties and parcel deliveries. While it’s exciting for us, for our dogs, it might mean more barking, excitement, or worry with every knock on the door.

Here are some simple tips to help keep things calm for your dog (and stress-free for our delivery folks!) this Christmas:

1.Holiday Chews & Treats 🎁: If you know a delivery’s on its way (many couriers send alerts now), set your dog up in a cosy spot with something special to keep them busy—a Licki Mat, snuffle mat, or a long-lasting chew. Licking, chewing, and sniffing help dogs feel calm and content, perfect for keeping them occupied when someone’s at the door.

2. Track and Pre-empt the Delivery 📦: Many deliveries can now be tracked right down to the moment they reach your street. If it’s a smaller parcel, why not leave your dog inside, pop out to meet the delivery driver at the gate, and collect the parcel yourself? This way, your dog doesn’t even know the delivery’s happened—it’s just you stepping out and back in again.

3. Garden Safety First 🌲: If your dog enjoys time in the garden, make sure they’re safe when the postie arrives. Either be outside to supervise, have a lock on the gate, or bring your dog indoors if you know a delivery’s due. It keeps everyone safe and prevents accidental escapes or misunderstandings!

4. Build a Bond 🐾: If you’ve got a regular postie, consider a little treat pot by the door! Letting your dog see the postie as a friend can work wonders, especially for puppies or nervous dogs. The postie can toss a treat to help your dog feel calm and positive about these visits.

5. Teach Calm at the Door 🎅: If door manners are an ongoing struggle, this season is a great time to work on them. Teaching your dog to make the right choice—to remain calm at the threshold, without needing cues—can make all the difference. By rewarding them for choosing to stay back and not rewarding them for crossing the line, your dog can learn to manage this boundary themselves, no matter who’s at the door. And if you need support, Paws Positive Dog Training is always here to help with door manners!

6. Festive Peace for All ✨: Our delivery heroes work hard, especially at Christmas. With a little planning and a festive treat or two, we can make this season calm and happy for everyone.

Happy training (and happy shopping!) from Jane at Paws Positive Dog Training Paws 4 A Break and Paws 4 A Day 🐾

Ditch the Retractable! Safer Options for Walking Your Dog

Did you know that retractable leads can be more than just a poor choice for training? They can actually be dangerous for you and your dog!

Why Retractable Leads Encourage Pulling (and Make Loose Lead Training Near Impossible):
If your dog already has a tendency to pull, a retractable lead can make it worse. Here’s why: the mechanics of a retractable lead essentially reward pulling by letting the dog move further away when they tug on the lead. This teaches them that pulling = more freedom, so they’re likely to do it more, even if they’re back on a regular lead!

And when it comes to teaching loose lead walking, a retractable lead is near impossible to work with. Because the lead is always taut, your dog has no clear way of knowing when it’s tight or loose, which is the foundation of good loose lead training. Without this feedback, they simply can’t learn that staying close to you is what keeps the lead slack. At Paws Positive Dog Training, we focus on positive reinforcement methods that teach your dog how to walk comfortably by your side on a standard lead, creating a safer and more enjoyable walk for both of you.

The Danger of Distance:
Many retractable leads extend over 20 feet, and while this may feel like it gives your dog a bit of freedom, it can also put them out of your reach when they need you most. Imagine your dog is 20 feet away, and a stray animal suddenly appears. Now you’re not only too far away to help, but the thin line of the retractable lead makes it hard to pull them back without getting some serious rope burn on your hands! For regular walks, Paws for a Break recommends standard leads, which provide much better control and safety for both you and your dog.

A Drop Could Spell Disaster:
If your dog can be skittish, retractable leads bring their own risks. Say you accidentally drop the lead – the clunky housing can make a loud thud, and as it bounces behind your dog, it might scare them into bolting. It’s not uncommon for dogs to go missing because they’re trying to “escape” the scary noise trailing behind them!

Risky for Both Ends of the Lead:
Retractable leads don’t just pose risks for your dog – they can be dangerous for you as well. Dogs running full speed to the end of a retractable lead have been known to suffer neck injuries, collapsed tracheas, or even spinal damage. And if that thin line snaps, it can whip back and cause painful injuries. Owners grabbing the line in a panic can also end up with deep cuts or even severed fingers.

Why Paws for a Day Banned Retractable Leads:
At Paws for a Day School, we’ve banned the use of retractable leads when dogs are dropped off and picked up. Our car park opens directly onto a main road, and peak times for pick-up and drop-off coincide with busy traffic hours. If the brake on a retractable lead were to fail or if the dog pulled the lead out of the owner’s hand, they could end up on the road in seconds. Standard leads offer much better control and ensure the safety of our dogs, especially in high-risk areas like our school car park.

So, What’s the Alternative?

Long Lines – A Safer Option, with a Learning Curve
For those who want to give their dog some freedom while still maintaining control, long lines are a much better option. These sturdy leads (available in lengths of 10, 15, or even 30 feet) allow your dog to explore a bit further while keeping them safe. But, like any tool, they come with their own quirks to consider.

1. Practice Before Using: A long line can be a great tool, but it takes some skill to handle. Before you attach one to your dog, practice taking it in and letting it out smoothly. Knowing how to handle the line will make walks safer and more enjoyable.
2. Rope Burn Precautions: Just like retractable leads, long lines can cause rope burn if you grab them without thinking. I recommend wearing gloves when handling a long line, especially if your dog is a bit of a runner. This simple step can prevent burns and give you better control.
3. Dragging for Better Recall: One of the great things about a long line is that it can trail on the ground behind your dog. If you’re practising recall and they don’t come back, simply step on the line to stop them in their tracks. However, make sure that the long line is always attached to a harness, never a collar. This way, if you do need to stop them abruptly, there’s no risk of neck injury.
4. Learning to Manage Length: Because long lines can easily get tangled or snagged, it’s a good idea to practise shortening the line quickly when needed. This helps in busy areas or when passing other dogs and keeps you in control.

Bottom Line: Safety Over Convenience
While retractable leads may seem convenient, they bring too many risks for daily walks. A traditional lead or a properly used long line provides safety, control, and structure. With a bit of practice, long lines offer a safe way to give your dog that extra freedom they love – without putting you or them in harm’s way.

Keep it safe and simple – for you and your dog’s wellbeing!

Crates are like marmite you either love them or hate them and there is a big divide. I think crate training is needed even if you don’t intend to use them regularly and heres how and why -

Crate Training: A Positive Approach

Crate training isn’t just about confinement; it’s about creating a safe, secure environment for your dog. Many owners find crates invaluable when it comes to recovery from injury, travelling, or providing a place to rest. Imagine your dog has an injury and needs strict rest—without a crate, keeping them calm and still can be nearly impossible. I’ve had clients with energetic, large breeds who, after surgery, relied on crate training to help their dogs recover in a calm, safe environment. With enrichment like a Kong or Licki Mat, their dogs stayed occupied without overexerting themselves, allowing the healing process to progress smoothly.

Crates are also the safest option for travelling with your dog. Whether it’s a short trip or a long holiday drive, a crate provides both safety and comfort for your dog, ensuring they are secure in the car.

Breaking the Myths: Crate Training Isn’t Cruel

One of the biggest misconceptions is that crate training is cruel or like imprisoning your dog. In reality, a well-trained dog sees the crate as their personal haven. Overuse can certainly be an issue, but when used correctly, crates become a place of comfort. The key is to balance crate time and ensure it’s always a positive experience, not a form of punishment.

How to Positively Introduce Your Puppy to a Crate – Step-by-Step

• Start Slowly: Place the crate in a quiet, comfortable space where your puppy spends time. Leave the door open and allow them to explore it at their own pace.

• Make it Inviting: Add a soft blanket and a favourite toy. Begin placing treats inside, letting your puppy investigate and discover that good things happen in the crate.

• Mealtime in the Crate: Start feeding your puppy in the crate. This builds a positive association with the crate, linking it to food. When the meal is in the crate, they’ll naturally gravitate towards it.

• Build Duration Gradually: Once your puppy is comfortable, you can start closing the door for short periods while they’re busy with something enjoyable, like eating or playing with a Kong filled with treats.
• Enrichment in the Crate: Introduce enrichment
activities like Kongs, Licki Mats, or chew toys inside the crate. Over time, your puppy will see the crate as a positive space full of rewarding activities.

• Avoid Reinforcing Bad Habits: If your puppy comes out of the crate and no longer has access to the fun or tasty things inside, they’ll quickly learn that staying in the crate means more rewards. It’s their choice, and that makes it even more valuable to them.

Fun Crate Game: The “Food Prison”

This is one of my favourite crate games! It’s simple, fun, and really encourages your dog to *want* to be in the crate. Here’s how it works:

1. Place something your dog absolutely loves inside the crate—maybe some warm steak, fish, or their favourite toy.
2. Close the crate door with the reward inside. Naturally, your dog will be eager to get in, trying to find a way. They’ll sniff around, scratch, and work out how to get to the prize.
3. After a little while, open the crate door, and your dog will shoot inside to claim their reward. Repeat this process, and soon your dog will associate the crate with all things good, realising that the crate is the gateway to amazing things!

Choosing the Right Crate for Your Puppy
When selecting a crate, ensure it’s just big enough for your puppy to lie comfortably, stretch, and turn around. If the crate is too large, especially for young puppies, they might find a corner to use as a toilet, which is something we definitely want to avoid. If you’re investing in a larger crate for when your puppy grows, make sure it comes with a divider so you can adjust the space as they develop.

For strong, energetic breeds (especially the Chewie Bitey types), metal crates are a must—they’re durable and safe. Fabric crates may be suitable for smaller, calmer dogs, but for most puppies, a sturdy metal crate is the best choice.

Another great tip for helping your dog feel safe in the crate is to cover it with a blanket or a purpose-made crate cover. This creates a den-like atmosphere, mimicking the natural instincts of dogs to seek out dark, enclosed spaces like dens. Covering the crate can help your dog relax, switch off, and even drift off to sleep more easily, as the environment becomes dark and cosy.

Crate Training Don’ts: What to Avoid

• Don’t Drag Your Puppy into the Crate: The crate should never feel like a place of force. Dragging your puppy in will only create negative associations, making them resist the crate. Always let them go in willingly by using encouragement, rewards, and positive reinforcement.

• Never Use the Crate as Punishment: It can be tempting to send a dog to their crate when you’re frustrated, but this can create a bad association. Dogs, especially puppies, are often just displaying normal dog behaviour—they aren’t being naughty. Using the crate as a punishment may cause them to feel anxious or fearful, which is the opposite of what we want.

• Don’t Place the Crate in Busy, Noisy Areas: If the crate is placed in a room where there’s lots of activity—children playing, people moving around—it becomes very hard for your puppy to relax. Choose a calm, quiet spot where they can rest peacefully without distractions.

• Ensure the Crate Itself is Quiet: A crate that creaks, rattles, or has flapping parts can easily startle your puppy. Make sure the crate is stable and quiet so that when they move around inside, it doesn’t create unexpected noises that might scare them.

• Don’t Ignore Whining or Crying: If your puppy cries or whines, don’t just leave them to 'tough it out.' When you return to the crate, they will likely quiet down as soon as they see you. In these moments, you can offer emotional support by gently putting your hand through the crate. If you feel they need to come out, you can open the door and let them out calmly.

Crates in Emergencies: Why Early Crate Training Helps

While crates are a great tool for everyday use, they’re also invaluable in emergencies. If your dog has an accident and needs to stay overnight at the vet, or if there’s a situation at home where you need to pop your dog in a crate, having them used to the crate will prevent added stress. However, we don’t want crate training to only happen in these urgent moments. If your dog isn’t familiar with the crate outside of emergencies, they’ll still find it stressful.

Make sure to periodically put your dog in the crate for short periods, using all the positive reinforcement techniques, so they remain comfortable. Just remember, a dog shouldn’t be left in a crate with the door locked for more than three to four hours, unless it’s overnight and you’re letting your puppy out to toilet. Setting an alarm to get up before they wake is a great way to prevent accidents and help them settle back to sleep quickly.

If you need help with crate training or any other behavioural issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to Paws Positive Dog Training. We’re here to support you and your dog, and you can contact us on 0788 5520 818 for advice or training sessions.

Why Positive Reinforcement is the Clear Choice for Dog Training 🐾

I’m writing this post today from Bourne, where I’m attending a 3-4 day conference and workshop with the Pet Professional Guild (PPG). This amazing seminar is dedicated entirely to force-free, ethical training methods, with speakers from all over the world. It’s an exciting opportunity for me to continue learning and developing as a trainer, while adding to my CPD. Staying updated with the best, most humane training techniques is a priority for me so that I can bring the latest knowledge back to all the dogs and owners I work with.

I’d also like to apologise that there are no classes this weekend, but I promise this learning will benefit you and your dogs going forward. Thank you for your understanding!

Now, let’s talk about the hot topic in the dog training world: positive reinforcement versus aversive methods.

Positive reinforcement, which uses rewards to encourage the behaviour you want, is scientifically proven to be effective. Studies have shown that dogs trained using positive methods are more confident, enjoy learning, and are better problem solvers. On the other hand, aversive techniques, which rely on punishment or force, often lead to anxiety, stress, and sometimes even aggression in dogs. In the long run, it makes behaviour worse, not better.

Some trainers rely on tools like E-collars (electric collars), slip leads, choke chains, or prong collars, but here’s the truth: you don’t need these tools to train your dog. In my classes at Paws Positive Dog Training, we don’t use any of these devices because they aren’t necessary. Good training builds trust, and that doesn’t come from fear or discomfort.

Now, I know some of you may wonder, “Aren’t treats just bribing the dog?” Well, when we’re luring a dog to teach a new behaviour, yes, it might look a bit like bribery. But the goal is to quickly move away from luring and towards rewarding the dog for making the right choices on their own. We want your dog to choose the right behaviour because they understand it, not because they’ve been coaxed into it with a treat. In fact, the more your dog learns, the less they rely on treats, and the more they rely on knowing what’s expected of them.

Leading organisations like the Pet Professional Guild (PPG), RSPCA, Dogs Trust, and the British Veterinary Association all recommend positive reinforcement as the most effective and humane approach to dog training. We stand by this 100% because it aligns with our ethos of treating dogs with kindness and respect.

You don’t need to scare or hurt your dog to see good behaviour. By using positive methods, you’ll build a better relationship and achieve lasting results. If you’re unsure about how to get there, reach out to a qualified trainer who uses positive, force-free methods. After all, your dog deserves the best.

Let’s spread kindness in training, and watch our dogs thrive! 🐕💖

🎉 Happy National Black Dog Day! 🎉

At Paws 4 A Break, Paws Positive Dog Training, and Paws 4 A Day, we’re celebrating our beautiful black-coated canine friends! 🖤

But why do we need a National Black Dog Day? 🐕💔 Sadly, black dogs are often overlooked in shelters—a phenomenon known as “Black Dog Syndrome.” Whether it’s because they don’t photograph as easily or simply blend in more, they tend to spend longer in shelters and are adopted less frequently. National Black Dog Day was created to raise awareness about this issue and to encourage everyone to see past the colour of a dog’s coat and give these pups the love they deserve.

How can you help today?

1. Adopt or foster a black dog – If you’ve been considering bringing a new family member into your life, why not give a black dog a chance? They’re just as loving, fun, and loyal as any other dog!

2.Spread the word – Post pictures of your black dog on social media using the hashtag . Share your story of how they’ve enriched your life to inspire others.

3.Visit your local rescue or shelter – Spend time with the black dogs waiting for their forever homes. If you’re not in a position to adopt, many shelters welcome volunteers or donations.

4. Join us at Paws for a Day Daycare or Paws Positive Dog Training – We welcome all dogs, regardless of their coat colour, and if you’re looking for daycare or training, we’d love to help your black dog thrive. And remember, at Paws for a Break, our boarding and walking services are always open to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and colours!

We have a black dog staying with us at the moment .. this is little Rosie the 8 year old Jackapoo 👇🏼 Post a photo of your black dog below too

Why Positive, Ethical Force-Free Training Matters 🌟

Hey everyone,
I’ve been reflecting on how divided the dog training industry can feel at times, and it seems more so lately. So, I wanted to share something from the heart about where I stand.

As many of you know, I am a positive, force-free dog trainer- and that’s not just a label; it’s a commitment to the welfare and happiness of every dog I work with. My training methods are rooted in kindness, science, and a deep respect for each dog’s individual needs.

Now more than ever, it’s important for anyone looking to train their dog to do their research. There are so many methods out there, and unfortunately, not all of them are in the best interest of your dog. Quick fixes or forceful techniques might promise results, but at what cost? I would “never” intentionally hurt or cause distress, fear, or pain to any dog, just to earn a few pounds.

I believe in transparency, and I will always be open and honest about how I work. My priority is not just to teach skills, but to build a strong, positive relationship between you and your dog—without fear, pain, or intimidation.

If you or someone you know is considering training your dog, please take the time to research and choose a trainer who aligns with your values and is committed to force-free methods. Your dog deserves nothing less than the best care and guidance, and I’m proud to be a part of that journey.

If you have any questions about what force-free training means or how it works, feel free to drop a comment or send me a message. I’m always here to help!
