A couple of weeks ago we met the beautiful little Ocean for a training session.

Being a typical Spaniel, Ocean loves a fuss, so jumps up for attention. And who can say no to that face 😉 We got to work and in minutes, Ocean realised that it was actually more rewarding not to jump up, and was offering a sit instead.

We then moved on to lead work as although small, she is mighty strong. We got those engagement foundations in, and after some practice, her and her owner were doing great. Lots of homework to do to keep up the progress, but a great start made in the session.

A few weeks ago we met Riva for a behaviour consultation here at the facilities.

Riva has had a couple of run ins lately with other dogs, so her owner wanted to find out what was going on and get some help.

We brought out a stooge and checked Riva's communication abilities, which were great. Turns out, her tolerance has just gotten a little low. She communicates effectively, but if the other dog doesn't listen right away, then she increases the intensity of her comms pretty quickly.

We did some prolonged exposure, and Riva settled into it amazingly. Listening to her handler and redirecting her focus there when she felt overwhelmed. Asking for help, and having her owner hear her.

Moving forward, it will be all about balancing different types of exposure. Dogs don't need to interact with every dog they see or come close to. It actually serves them really well to be around dogs and not interact, building more neutral associations. A bit like teaching kids that just because they walk past a park every day, doesn't mean they get to go in and play every day.

Riva and her owner really put some work in in the session, and by the end of it, Riva was completely ignorant to the stooge dog and was having fun doing some engagement work. Lots to work on at home but a big step forward.

Great work team Riva 🐾

We recently met Biggles and Millie for a behaviour consultation to help with their reactivity.

Millie (the terrier) is older and has likely passed on her reactivity wisdom to Biggles 🤦🏼‍♀️ Although, Biggles is a little alert dog and does like his job so there's a good chance Millie just sped up the process there.

We worked both dogs at a distance separately first, seeing who really was the one setting off the other. Then brought them together for some work as a duo.

Have a reactive dog is hard for most owners, even harder when you have two. Luckily, Biggles and Millie's owners were up for the challenge and both did amazing with their handling.

By the end of the session, we had both dogs working less than 10 feet from a stooge dog. At the start, Biggles reacted at over double that distance away.

Lots of work to be done, but huge steps in the right direction were made.

Great work team Biggles and Millie 🐾

What better way to start the week off than with some lovely words from a client we saw at the weekend. Both dog and owner smashed it. And with their session plan, will continue to do so at home. Not forgetting a big thanks from our senior trainee Chelsey and her dog Captain from Helping Hounds Dog Training 🐾

"Hollie (and Chelsea) were both amazing with our Staffy and myself. They gave me the confidence to follow my instincts and the tools to try new training techniques. Our dog Harper can be anxious around other dogs and so now we have a clear idea of how to help her. They were both so knowledgable and kind. Really admired how they were able to use their own dogs with Harper to help with our training. Brilliant service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thanks to you both!"

LED Collars 🐶

I should have done this post at the beginning of Winter really but better late than never I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

These little gadgets really are invaluable. Take it from me, when I was a dog warden, I cannot tell you how many times I picked up stray dogs and the finder said "I only saw them because of the lights in the collar".

Not only do they make them seen just to be found, it helps your dog be seen by people driving too.

A lot of the dogs I picked up escaped either from their own garden, or on a lead walk. Yep, jumped a fence, or slipped their collar or lead, and bolted (often due to fireworks).

For the price of less than £10, they really are worth their weight in gold. The little clip on LED flashing fobs are good, but as you have to attach them to your dogs collar, if they slip their collar, then they aren't going to do their job.

A seperate LED collar, and put it below their existing collar. That way, if their normal collar comes off, it's less likely to pull the light up collar off too.

It could be the difference between your dog being seen, and being found, or not 🙈

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe all 🧡

Myths & Bad Advice 🤦🏼‍♀️

Getting advice about dogs, their training, behaviour, and even their health is a minefield. So, here's some things we can put to bed once and for all.....

*****WARNING Colourful language inbound 🤦🏼‍♀️

🐶 "You should eat dinner before your dog so that they respect you"
Utter bu****it. Any dog owners or trainers saying this (yes, I've had this advice given to clients by other trainers), don't have a clue what they're talking about.

🐶 "You should always enter through doorways before your dog".
Another one that's a load of crap. Don't get me wrong, door manners are one thing, I like my dogs to wait at doorways/car boot till they are asked to move, for safety, not because it apparently makes me "own the room" 🙄

🐶 "Feeding dogs raw meat makes them aggressive" YAWN 🥱 Thousands of dogs are raw fed, it doesn't make them bloodthirsty.

🐶 "If you play tug with your dog, you should always win". A whole load of NOPE. Your dog will not think they own you because they won a game of tug. Let them win, it's fun 🤷🏼‍♀️

🐶 "If your dog toilets in the house you should rub their nose in it".
This is inhumane, disgusting, cruel, and lastly, doesn't work. Accidents happen, clean it up, move on, and do better to recognise when your dog needs the toilet. After sleep, food, play. Stay out till they go.

🐶 "You must be top dog"
This one got a lot of clout because of he who shall not me named ***cough - cough... Cesar Milan - cough*** 🤫
Listen, what your dog needs is love, time, guidance, boundaries, consistency, and fun, just like children....but please don't start all that 'fur-baby' s**t 😉

There needs to be rules and expectations, but no-one needs to be ruling with an iron fist. It's not all rainbows and sunshine either though, a lot of dogs will take the p**s if you let them, you can say "No".

Training varies due to age, breed, size, temperament, sensitivity etc. But there are some absolutes in every sense, and that is that all of the above mentioned quotes, are absolute bo****ks.

Don't listen to it, don't do it, don't be a di****ad 👍

Apologies for the language. Picture below proves that even Chop thinks all of the above is stupid advice 😉😂🐾

What's your weekend looking like?

Today was a bit of a write-off for ATD due to the temperature being so low, and most sessions were with small breeds.

But, we took that as an opportunity to do some training with our own dogs instead 👌

Let's hope it warms up again and we can get back to it.

Enjoy your weekend all and post some pics of those pooches below, whether you're out and about or staying warm and snoozing on the sofa 🐾
