Jenga Part 2–Covert Bite Training 🐾
Continuing from our previous clip of Jenga’s bite training, here is Jenga taking on a new challenge.
Covert bite training is where the bite sleeve is worn covertly underneath the clothing, making it less obvious to the dog. We used this technique to test if the Janga would be willing to bite on command without being able to see the usual target.
Jenga was reluctant at first because he’s not usually encouraged to bite anything other than the bite sleeve.
But with the right encouragement he soon caught on to the rules of the game and enjoyed dragging Ryan around 😜
Lots of potential here
Well done Jenga & Tracy
From Fearful to Fearless: Betty’s Incredible Transformation
When we first introduced you to Betty back in October, she was overwhelmed by fear—seeing both dogs and strangers as a threat. Her world felt small, and every interaction was filled with anxiety.
✨ “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer
Over the past three months, I’ve had the privilege of working with Betty and her dedicated owner, Angela. Their commitment, patience, and hard work have been nothing short of inspiring—and the progress speaks for itself!
Huge well done to Angela for giving Betty the confidence to see the world differently. This is what trust, persistence, and love can do. ♥️

Meet Jenga! 🐾 This was his first bite training session at LDT, where he’s learning to channel his natural instincts into controlled, confident protection work.
Bite training isn’t about aggression—it’s about focus, obedience, and building trust between dog and handler.
Watch him take his first steps in mastering this skill!
😃 We think this lovely boy did a fantastic job! What do you think?
Muzzle training with your dog 🐾
Muzzles can be valuable tools when used responsibly in specific situations, such as vet visits and grooming.
However, muzzles are not solutions—they are temporary aids to manage safety. It is always advisable to work on the root cause of the behavior through proper training.
Long-term use of muzzles is not advised as it can cause discomfort, stress, and prevent dogs from communicating naturally with others. To use a muzzle responsibly, ensure it fits properly, allows panting and drinking, and is introduced gradually.
Follow for more tips and training advice 😊

The old boy’s still got it 💪 🐾
When @ryan_yates_onlinecoach stopped by LDT to help train some incredible dogs chasing big dreams in dog sports, he made sure one special guest had his moment in the spotlight too: the old boy, Stanley!
Now, if you know Stan, you’ll know he’s not one to pass up an opportunity to show off his skills. He was absolutely buzzing to get involved (as you can see in this clip). In fact, he was so enthusiastic, I almost couldn’t get him to stop! 😂
Stanley isn’t just any dog—he was my partner on the Police force, and his work ethic has always been second to none. Even in retirement, he thrives on staying active and using his incredible abilities. But as much as he loves it, it’s my job to prioritise his well-being.
After suffering a nerve impingement six months before his retirement, Stan gets regular acupuncture and laser treatments to keep him feeling his best. These sessions ensure he stays comfortable and pain-free, so he can enjoy his well-earned retirement while still doing the things he loves—like stealing the show during training sessions! 💙✨
Don’t be fooled this fireworks season 🎆🎇
Most dogs are hardwired genetically to fear sudden and loud bangs such as fireworks, so if someone proclaims they can “cure” your dog from its fear of fireworks, please be diligent.
The best we can do for our dogs during firework season is responsibly manage the situation always putting the dogs welfare first.

Buddy’s Story
You may remember Buddy but we are meeting him again after an update from his owner.
Buddy’s owner travelled over an hour to come training having spent a large amount of money on two other trainers but was frustrated so much so that I was Buddy’s last hope.
He was aggressive to humans and any animal moving or stationary, although muzzled he tried to bite me, never got off lead and no one could visit the house.
We started by working with his genes rather than against and with time spent building trust Buddy began to respond and then we were able to establish ‘real world ‘ control enabling Buddy to simply be the dog he was meant to be and giving his owner the confidence to enjoy his friend.
The aim of the post is to remind people that there are too many dogs euthanised purely because organisations and trainers and ‘ behaviourists’refuse to use any kind of negative reinforcement or punishment to correct unacceptable behaviour. If Buddy had been given up to a rescue there is no doubt he would now be dead.
We need to stop pretending that all problems can be solved by throwing treats around it is ridiculous and extremely dangerous to the very dogs we are supposed to be helping.
We are killing too many otherwise healthy dogs and if you don’t believe me ask the RSPCA or Dogs Trust for their figures. Oh no, they won’t give the information for fear of losing your donations.
For the sake of dogs everywhere we need to wake up and protect dogs like Buddy
The video around the campsite is a short time after he finished training surrounded by admirers
Big thanks to Andy for letting me train Buddy who I believe taught me as much as I taught him. Great dog

Meet Bear
Bear, an Airedale cross came to me as a puppy as he got older his genetic predisposition to chase got stronger. It’s important to work with his genes and not suppress his natural instinct, my priority with any dog is for it to be happy and free. Freedom can only come with full control and this is what real control looks like. Happy dog, happy owner and happy horse!
Remember ‘dogs can’t vote but you can’
I know many of you have put lots of effort into this issue previously and because of you we were successful but this won’t go away and we need to call on you once again,
Remember ‘dogs can’t vote but you can’
Many thanks

Bram is 8 months old. His genetic make up drives him to chase anything. We want him to do what he loves but we must have control to keep him and others safe so we need a reliable recall #belgianmalinois #dutchshepherd #dogtraining
Bespoke,one to one dog training. Dog ownership should be a genuine source of joy and friendship. If
