So damn proud of this fabulous partnership!
Jodie and Steve began their training journey with me approximately 3 years ago. Steve was anxious and completely shut down.
He was reactive to both dogs and men, had an insane prey drive and was more interested in moths on the floor than engaging with Jodie.
Jodie has never given up on her boy and they can now walk with other dogs, ignore cats and win at dog sports!
It is this type of journey that makes me so grateful to be a professional dog trainer. To have been integral to this beautiful success story makes me proud...very proud❤

Do you own a small dog?
GSDs may be my personal passion but I love teaching dogs of all breeds, sizes and types.
I have been a professional dog trainer for 30 years so my experiences in all different breeds is vast!
Dog training is dog training is dog training.....learning theory is learning theory. Understanding what makes a specific breed tick most certainly weighs the odds in our favour though when determining the best way of approaching a training challenge.
Additionally having endless tools in the tool kit helps us work with each individual...there is never one size fits all!
Just look at all the super 'Tinies' we had on one of my monthly sports groups today!
Aren't they just absolutely awesome?

Puppy Class? Yes or No?
For 30 years I taught puppy classes in person. I now teach puppy training online.
I have observed and taught puppy training from both angles and I can honestly say that they complement each other beautifully!
If you possibly can I would recommend you enrol in both in person classes and online courses. They both have their merits.
🐾 Training is always best taught initially at home with no distractions (Online ✅)
🐾 Once taught that skill should be generalised into different environments (In Person✅)
🐾 Owners learn best without having to concentrate on the puppy at the end of the lead (Online ✅)
🐾 Puppies need the opportunity to watch other dogs in a safe environment (In Person✅)
🐾 Owners all learn at different paces without feeling peer pressure (Online ✅)
🐾 Some owners feel more comfortable having an instructor to physically watch them with their dog (In Person ✅)
🐾 Dog training can often be complex and detailed. Time restraints can conflict with delivery of detailed instruction. (Online ✅)
🐾 It is lovely to watch our puppies enjoying sensible interactions with other dogs in a controlled environment (In Person ✅)
We invest so much into a new puppy.

My vet surgery are fab....not least because of giving ice creams to all of my dogs on the surgery's 10th Anniversary!
Finding a brilliant vet you resonate with can take time. We put our dog's lives in their hands so trust is vital.
I personally like a vet who takes time to talk through all of the options with me and then supports me in the choices I make for my dogs.
I was very skeptical about this vets some years ago when a friend recommended them. After all they are a franchise....I was adamant that meant it was going to be of lesser quality.
How wrong I was. Carla, the owner, happily spent over an hour chatting with me before I even registered my dogs at her surgery and we have never looked back.
If you are unhappy with the service you or your dogs receive at your current vets do look further afield. Vets are most definitely not all the same.
Teaching Chitta how to be handled or examined formally as will be necessary at the vets or groomers

Chitta's first formal handling session. Come join me to watch how I approach teaching my little lady about being handled for the vets or groomers.
THE CHITTA CHAPTER
Earlier today, we did a little live with the star of the show, young Chitta, outlining what exactly The Chitta Chapter was all about! But in case you missed it, we'll tell you all about it now!
The Chitta Chapter is a 12 month course following me, Jenny, and my new puppy, Chitta, in real time as we learn together, grow together and work through challenges together.
These will be the same challenges that any and every puppy owner faces along with a few surprises along the way, no doubt! As we all know, puppies don't follow plans! Chitta will be different from my last puppy and my next puppy will be different to Chitta.
And that's all part of the joy, the fun and the journey of a new addition as we get to know each other and build an unbreakable bond 💚
If that wasn't enough, there's also the dedicated Chitta Chapter Community to chat with people in the same boat as you. A uniquely supportive space to celebrate your milestones and journeys.
And there's even more! On each of the lessons in the Chitta Chapter, you can ask questions about the subject at hand on each individual section!
The Chitta Chapter is currently an absolutely incredible price of just £119.99 for the full 12 months. Content is added weekly as Chitta and I navigate our way through her puppyhood.
After the 12 months has ended, access to the course does too though it will still be available to purchase (however, it won't be at the amazing price it is currently).
So what are you waiting for? Come join us and buckle up for the ride!

I am Jenny Gould. I have owned GSDs for 40 years. Breeder, Trainer, Competitor… GSDs are my life!!
At almost 14 weeks old I feel that Chitta really needs to be channeled into using her brain proactively with a few formal training sessions.
She is unusually quick to learn so I am aware that I need to start earlier with her than I have with my puppies in the past.
Therefore I decided to start a little 'hold' training and here is our first session from this morning.
She is naturally a 'grabber' and loves carrying as you could see from the video of her parading with my i phone.
This exercise not surprisingly proved to be right up her street.

Jhana is now one week post cruciate operation.
She was doing great for the first 5 days then unfortunately she developed a seroma which has set her back.
This means that her whole leg is currently filled with fluid and she does not want to weight bear.
Thankfully her first physio treatment was booked for today so my brilliant rehab vet has used acupuncture, laser and other treatments to help her feel more comfortable.
Fingers crossed she is on the road to recovery soon.

Puppy chasing traffic? Consider the effects both sound and sight have on this phase we often see in herding breeds. Work with these senses individually to extinguish this early behaviour before it becomes an ingrained problem. For more info check out The Chitta Chapter www.thegsdhub.com.

Handle that puppy!
Teaching Chitta how to be handled or examined formally as will be necessary at the vets or groomers
Does your puppy rubbish pick? It is perfectly normal. However it is also one of those behaviours that can become very much out of hand if we respond inappropriately. My top tips are … 🐾 ignore it 🐾 celebrate with them so that they learn to bring their treasure to you in the first instance 🐾 teach a visual swap .. reliant on them valuing what you offer more than their treasure. You will need to show them the money! 🐾 teach a verbal swap. They drop first then you pay. 🐾 teach them to place items in your hand for a reinforcement 🐾 teach all the above with items that do not matter initially … before you move onto items that YOU value Whatever choice you make please please do not than fish about in your dog’s mouth to remove the item. Remember … how you respond in the early days dictates their response in future. Proactive training massively helps to prevent resource guarding #resourceguarding #chittachapter #gsdpuppy #gsdofinstagram #puppytrainingtips #gsdexpert #puppytrainer #puppies

And here comes the first hint of traffic chasing …. This morning it was wet which equals a change in acoustics and traffic that is suddenly very interesting to Chitta. She had just shot off in hot pursuit before this clip. No thought was involved ….. just pure instinct. This is very typical of a GSD at this early age. As a herding breed they naturally want to chase movement and the faster it is the better! This is something I have experienced many times with my puppies. Do you want to know how I deal with it? Follow The Chitta Chapter to find out more… doors open tomorrow! #chittachapter #herding #chaser #preydrive #herdingdog #gsdpuppy #germanshepherdpuppy

I am not usually in the habit of showcasing my underwear online but I am going to take one for the team.... Chitta is 13 weeks old. She is pretty much a bit of a pest right now! As my club members will attest I spent an hour on a group live this morning and madam 'misbehaved' in the background throughout most of it! Is it 'misbehaving' though? No it is actually just her being a puppy. She is normally very well managed but this morning all of my usual tricks to entertain her whilst I did not want to be disturbed did not work. I must try harder to be better prepared. This afternoon I look up to find her running about with my bra in her mouth and the clean fresh white bedding on the floor in the garden. How the hell she jumped so high to pull these items off the washing line I will never know but clearly it was of huge value to her so she pulled out all of the stops. My point is....this is normal puppy behaviour but our response to it makes or breaks whether it builds into unwanted habits in future. I used the bra to teach her a 'drop' cue....as opposed to chasing her around the garden trying to steal it from her. 2 different responses from me = 2 different potential learning outcomes for Chitta. How she responds in future depends entirely on my response during these phases. She will stop pulling washing off the line when she gets a little older but, in the meantime, I am ensuring she does not learn the wrong habits from these perfectly normal puppy behaviours. Remember training is 24 hours not just the formal 5 minutes training sessions where we teach them to sit and stay. #gsdlife #puppylife #puppytraining #trouble #gsdpuppy #puppylove #gsdlove #gsdpuppies #puppiesofinstagram
