Through the Dog's Eyes - Training and Behaviour

Puppy & dog training classes and behaviour based in Walsall Wood/Stonnall area. Reward-based training

Through The Dog's Eyes aims to enable you to build a positive, fun and rewarding relationship with your dog using only kind and effective, science based methods. 🐶

cluding specialised dog walking adventures, training classes and 1 2 1 sessions. 🐾

We believe that to train you and your dog effectively we need to have the most up to date knowledge and expertise available, for this reason we are committed to our own continued professional development(CPD).

Both the ISCP and IMDT are accredited bodies known for their ethical, science based teachings whose members must meet expected standards.

🐶 Christmas is a special time of year for many but for the TTDE team, Christmas Day is extra special because the best Shepherd in the world (yes, we know we are biased) and part of the TTDE team gets to celebrate her birthday.

🐶 If anyone has attended our classes, you'll have met Holly. She's the perfect addition to the team and her help is truly appreciated. She'll bring a smile to anyone's face and has helped several people overcome their fear of German Shepherds with her gentle nature.

🐶 She has a heart of pure gold, is gentle with people and dogs alike and is delighted if she can 'work' with someone who can't bring their dog for whatever reason.

🐶 Holly is not only fabulous in classes, she's also an amazing family dog at home, and a wonderful therapy dog. She's the dog that can be taken anywhere without ever having to worry what she might be doing and she's certainly been some places with us, taking it all in her stride.

💜💜 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
HOLLY - THE SHEPHERDESS 💜💜

🐶 The TTDE Sheps would like to wish all the dogs out there a Merry Woofmas.

🐶 They have a few tips to help other dogs get through this time of the year.

▶️ If you know you'll get excited or worried by kids opening presents or visitors coming round, make sure your pawrents have invested in some baby gates so you can have your own space to do your own thing

▶️ This might be a stuffed snuffle mat, a frozen tasty lickimat or Kong, your own present that's been wrapped in lots of paper so will take you some time to unwrap (please don't eat the paper though, we assure you it's not that tasty)

▶️ Make sure you've been for a walk so you don't have excess energy to burn off.

▶️ The hoomans will be eating and drinking a fair bit and some of it might be really tempting. It should be out of reach for you because so many things are really not good for us dogs but don't worry, they may share some turkey with you and veg with you 😋

▶️ If you find yourself getting a bit overwhelmed, go to your safe space, this will be a nice quiet, comfortable area that will have been created for you. If there's lots of noise then some nice calm relaxing music can be played for you.

▶️ If the weather is OK, your pawrent might go into your garden and hide some treats for you so you can go and spend some time sniffing and searching for them, you'll feel much better after.

▶️ Don't try and eat any plants that suddenly appear in the house, lots of them can make you feel really poorly 🤢

▶️ Go to bed early on Christmas Eve so you can stay on Santa's nice list 😉

Through The Dog's Eyes will be taking a break over Christmas to recharge their batteries so there will be delays to emails and messages.

We want to thank all our clients old and new and to let you know that your support is much appreciated 😊

🐶 We are super proud of this girl 😊

🐶 She attended our Back to Basics class for older puppies and adult dogs and has just graduated.

🐶 She found the class environment a little overwhelming and needed to stay in the safety of her allocated space as she was quite worried about the other dogs and people in the class.

🐶 She was never forced to do anything, including participation in the exercises or meeting other dogs/people attending the class. Everything was done at her pace, so we were delighted when, by week 4, we could start to see her confidence growing with her no longer remaining in her safe space all the time. By week 5, she was approaching us and other dogs and looked much happier. By week 6, she was coming into class with a wiggly body and a waggy tail and participating in all the fun activities we do at the end of the course.

👍 Progress is always a measure of how a dog feels and not what they're able to do, and this little beauty's progress was amazing 💜

🐶 Our puppy theme continues with these 2 sibling sweeties 💕

🐶 As their pawrents have never shared their lives with dogs before, they've taken advantage of our bespoke 121 puppy package.

🐶 Our first visit consisted of helping them to understand some basics including toilet training, the importance of good rest/sleep and management and prevention.

🐶 Our second visit saw us start some all important socialisation and habituation. We went out and about and discussed body language and what our dogs 'talk' to us about, plus we observed some other dogs and watched their body language too.

🐶 We have 2 more sessions to go, so we're looking forward to seeing how much these two cuties develop and how we can help them navigate the world.

🐶 That's it for the year, our last puppy graduates of 2024.

🐶 We saw some puppies come right out of their shell and some puppies who managed to calm right down.

🐶 We got say Hi each week and have some puppy snuggles.

🐶 The puppies learnt so much and their pawrents even more and everyone had fun.

🐶 The best thing for us was watching how desperate they were to get in each week and that's how we measure our success 😉

🎅 Here comes some of the Christmas puppies

🐶 This gorgeous bunch attended our special pre-Christmas puppy sessions so their pawrents could understand all the potential puppy pitfalls over the Christmas period, of which there are many 😱. We discussed effective management strategies, planning and preparation, setting puppies up for success no matter what's happening, top tips on the big day, safe spaces, managing visitors and lots more.

📃 We think these pups will top Santa's nice list 👍

👊

🐶 It's been a puppy kind of month 💗

🐶 We've been out and about supporting lots of new puppy parents so they understand why their puppy is doing what they're doing and what they can do to encourage better behaviours.

🙈 This little pupster has certainly landed on his paws in his new home. We went out even before he arrived in his new home so his pawrents felt confident about what to expect and were prepared for lots of eventualities.

🐶 They had received lots of conflicting information from well meaning friends and family so felt very confused especially about how to best support their puppy at night time.

🐶 Historically people were advised to let a puppy cry it out but as our knowledge about dog psychology has improved, this is now very outdated as a puppy is crying because they don't feel safe. Having a human close by usually means that a puppy feels secure enough to sleep (we can't forget they've usually come from a breeders where they've slept with their litter mates and Mum so needing someone close by should be no surprise).

🐶 This pup didn't cry as someone was close by and only got up when he needed the toilet, by night 5 he was sleeping straight through as he'd been set up for success from the beginning.

✔️ If you'd like some advice and support about your puppy then please get in touch

🐕 Today saw us delivering an educational talk to some students at Solihull College and University.

🐾 We've previously spoken at other educational facilities, but this was the first time discussing the ethical considerations for using animals in Animal Assisted Interventions and Therapeutic sessions. We've been directly involved in many of the areas of Animal Assisted Interventions, so we hope we gave the students some food for thought.

🐶 We were delighted to deliver this educational talk ably supported by Holly and Zephyr, the TTDE therapy dogs who spread a little love before and after the talk.

BEWARE MICROCHIP SCAM

We wanted to make you aware of a current scam to which one of our clients has unfortunately fallen victim. False microchip companies are contacting owners to advise them their pet’s microchips are about to expire and that owners need to pay a fee to reactivate. Do not pay. If in any doubt about your pet’s microchip status please contact the company your pet’s microchip is registered with directly. We are happy to scan your pet and confirm who holds their microchip registration details if you are unsure.

📍 Our brand new shiny website, we hope you like it

🙋‍♀️ We've been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that it reflects our ethos of honesty and integrity

😳 The dog training and behaviour is completely unregulated making it hard to identify who is best placed to support you and your dog when you need help of any description.

We think its important to:-

👍 Uphold our qualifying bodies code of ethics
👍 Never blame you for the issues you and your dog are experiencing
👍 Be honest about our qualifications and their meanings
👍 Be honest about our limitations, we don't believe in our own hype and understand that we don't always have all the answers
👍 Be understanding and empathetic to both you and your dog
👍 Constantly strive to understand more about how dogs think and learn.
👍 Continue to discuss cases with other trusted professionals to ensure that we haven't missed something crucial
👍 Signpost on to other higher qualified professionals such as Clinical Animal Behaviourists (degree level and higher) when the need arises
👍 Deliver quality, ethical and realistic behaviour and training plans
👍 Be flexible, one size does not fit all
👍 Strive for the best outcomes for you and your dog
👍 Never make false claims or promises
👍 Support you when the going gets tough
👍 Listen to your dog

🐶 We have a real eclectic mix of pupsters in our puppy class and they're all keen to learn.

This is just a brief insight into a few of the many things they've been learning so far:-

👌 How to focus on their pawrent despite the other puppies in the class

👍How to understand when they've got something right and what comes next 😋

🧠 When you use your 👃and 🧠 its so tiring!

😉 Why 'stealing ' things is actually no big deal

👣 The multiple benefits of the 'middle ' position

👀 Why checking in is so great and how that applies to walking by their pawrents side.

😊 We love seeing them each week and watching their progress.

🐕 When we started on our dog training and behaviour business journey, we took into consideration lots of outcomes and factors but one thing we hadn't considered was that we'd develop our own wonderful little dog training family.

🐕 We've met lots of wonderful people along the way who've supported us in many ways, none more so that the delightful Sophiee Lou and her partner Mike who've recently decided to follow their dreams and set up their own mobile catering service The Snack Shack we had a sneak peek today which was rather delicious 😋

🌭 So we wanted to wish them all the very best in their journey, we're sure they'll be a huge success 🍔

🐶🐕🐾 We love our dog training family 💞
