Adding some fun recall games in for puppy Meera!
We’ve ‘paired’ a special word which happens to be ‘Bacon’ 😂
Now it’s time to help her mum & dad inject some fun and movement to create a recall where Meera comes running back towards the word!
if you would like some help teaching your dog a strong recall cue but you don’t know where to start, book a call in with me and we can have a chat!

Recall training starts at home.. not in the park!
This, is in my opinion the best way to start teaching a recall.
We use classical conditioning to pair a very special magic word or sound with something REALLY yummy! When we have a potent and powerful reflex to it, then we can start adding movement, distractions and distance….
Thanks to Florence the Goldador pup for letting me film her first EVER recall lesson ✅

Here’s 5month old Jojo the Yorkie x Papillion (I know.. cute!) learning how to play nicely with her long tug toy!
Playing tug with your puppy is so important but there ARE rules.
✅ Only grab it when I say.
✅ Let go when I say.
We teach this in a positive way of course! Here is a lesson in how to start asking for a ‘drop’ or ‘out’
Nice little session! 🙌🐶

This is Barri the Daxie’s actual first ever proper loose lead training session! What a little superstar 🙌
Tip: when starting loose lead walking use a longer lead then shorten it as your dog becomes more successful!

Teaching a Positive Collar Hold (with Bobby) 🐾✨
Ever reached for your dog’s collar, and they dodged away? Or worse—mouthed your hands? Teaching a positive collar hold can make handling safer and stress-free for both of you!
✅ Helps in emergencies
✅ Great to add onto your recall
✅ Teaches adolescent dogs not to mouth hands
Isn’t Bobby CUTE?! 🥰

Say that again? Just hold me back… 😂
I received a wonderful update from one of my lovely clients the other day saying that the lead that I recommended was making walks more enjoyable for both my client and her dog.
One simple change meant that the lead that she was using was more slack, less tension on her dog’s harness and more comfortable for her to use. I always recommend a longer lead such as a 1.5 or 2 metre lead for walking dogs on footpaths.
I do own an extendable lead, but I don’t recommend them in general as they are clunky and disconnected from the dog. When you attach an extendable lead, you always have tension which is on the dogs harness or collar and so that doesn’t help when you are dealing with reactivity.
Increased tension = increased reactivity.

Small dogs. They have a hard time. They are living in a world of Giants and sometimes it’s easy to forget how huge and overwhelming the world can be for them!

The Gift of Training:
This festive season, why not give your dog the ultimate gift – quality training?
Here’s why it’s the gift that keeps on giving:
1. Strengthen Your Bond – Training deepens your connection and builds trust, making your relationship even more special.
2. Enrich Their World – Mental stimulation and new skills make your dog’s life more exciting and fulfilling.
3. Freedom Through Skills – Teach behaviors that give your dog more freedom to explore safely, like a sit-stay around other dogs!
This Christmas, wrap up more than toys and treats – give your dog the gift of learning + FREEDOM!

One of the most important cues you can teach your dog is the release cue! 👌
The release cue tells your dog they’re FREE to move out of a position, like a sit or down.
Ever had your dog just get up..?
Without a clear release, dogs may get up on their own, unsure of what’s expected. 🫣
Here, we’re teaching Otis, the golden retriever puppy, his new release cue: ‘Break!’
A strong release cue builds clarity, focus, and communication 🙌
