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
Here’s an update on Bram and his progress. We’ve been working hard since we last did a video and it shows. He’s improving each day and showing off his excellent genetics!
Take a watch and let me know what you think.

Another video of Alan who we saw showing his dislike for sheep now showing his love of freedom and his absolute love of fun

Meet Alan, a rescue dog who came to me in May with a few issues including a great love of sheep and no recall. In the first clip he’s walking at the front, this is what professional livestock avoidance training with a quality electronic training collar produces. Alan now doesn’t like sheep…..be more Alan #ecollartraining #dogtrainer #lancashire #chorley #livestockaversiontraining
Here’s a clip of mine and Bram’s progress so far. We’ve been working on some new skills all related to KNPV . In the video I will explain each section and why we do it. Any questions feel free to leave in the comments. #KNPV #dogtraining #dogs #dogoftheday #dogsofinstagram #dutchshepherd #malinois #belgianmalinois #dogtrainer #dogslife #mali #fyp #trending
Brams first training session! It doesn’t take much to unlock his natural talent, showing off his skills and develop the bite he needs to excel in KNPV. With expert instruction, Brams’ exceptional genetics are amplified to prepare him to reach the pinnacle of his sport, all with the added benefit of having fun and that is the key here, he’s having fun!Just a puppy and his dad playing. #belgianmalinois #belgianshepherd #malinois #dutchshepherd #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainer
Meet Marney
Meet Marney a gorgeous girl and just 9 months old. Marney and her Dad already had a great relationship so we’ve been building on this and just look how much she wants to please him. Great real world recall, out in the environment with distractions and instantly returns. All of this is built on a solid foundation of a strong relationship and no tools have ever been needed. Great to see I think everyone would agree, Marney only has eyes for her Dad
As promised here is a little update on Reg, he’s certainly enjoying his new life and is learning how to play. Keep an eye out for more updates soon, but for now let’s just enjoy what a happy bouncy boy Reg is! ❤️#dog #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #dogtraininguk #dogtrainer #dogs #dogtraining #germanshepherd #germanshepherds
‼️ UPDATE‼️ An update on the campaign and a massive thank you to all of you that are helping
Take a look at the post I’ve shared for the latest update.
Also a big thank you to Take the Lead Dog Training and @join_ardo for all the effort that has been put into this cause.

People buying dogs that are unsuitable for their lifestyles are what keeps rescues full.
Meet Reg, a gorgeous boy who has spent most of his life in a crate, minus bedding, or barking at the window. Zero stimulation, little exercise and no relationship with his owners.
Fortunately they were persuaded to give him up and one of my regular clients kindly agreed to take him and two days later he comes for training.
I’m going to share his progress but for now can we all admire this lovely boy 🐕

When Kaos met Stanley. 🖤Stanley is nearly 8 years old and Kaos is nearly One, look how they play together 🐾🙌 #dogs #malinois #mali #malinoislovers #malinoisofinstagram #malinois_universe #malinoisdog #malinoisofficial #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #dogs #dogslife #dogsuk #malinoislove #doglover #dogplay #doglovers #dogtraininguk #dogtraining #dogtrainer
Check out this amazing clip of Buddy, he’s a Dutch Shepherd Mali cross.
Buddy and his owner reached out to me after having gone to numerous trainers without any success.
Buddy is highly prey driven. He would chase anything that moved, including horses. As you can see from the clip Buddy and his owner have put so much time and dedication into their training and although Buddy is clearly aware of the horses he no longer chases them, he is much more engaged in the ball and playing rather than chasing 🙌
Amazing results, keep up the great work Buddy 🐾
.
Meet Bear - an Airedale Cross.
To give you an explanation on why Bear and his owners came to see me here is a snippet of their lovely review
“ Steve has literally changed ours, and Bears life around. Bear now has freedom, happiness and confidence built through well taught e-collar training. Bear is now able to be free in fields and rivers and really enjoy his walks and general life like he should. From a stubborn dog who was hard to manage on walks with ‘flexible’ recall, to a confident and quite frankly, epic dog with recall even from rabbits, other dogs and rivers!! “
Watch this video sent to me of Bear doing distance Recall.
Well done Bear. Keep up the great work 🙌
