‘Touch Mat’ training!
Here’s another video taken last weekend at the ‘Dog Friendly’ Eastbourne weekend event where I was demonstrating my ‘Touch Mat’ techniques.
This training method and many more that I covered over the weekend can be found in my Dog Behavioural articles in ‘Dog Friendly’ Magazine available in hard copy and PDF formats at https://www.dogfriendly.co.uk

Here is a short video of my ‘Strike, Chase, Leave’ technique, one of my demonstrations at the ‘Dog Friendly Magazine’ weekend event in Eastbourne. 👍🐕🦺🐾🐕🦮
Channel 5’s ‘Police 999. Clear and Present Danger’
For those people that weren’t aware, I was on TV last week as well as last night (Tuesday) on Channel 5’s Police Documentary series, ‘Police 999. Clear and Present Danger’ talking about my experiences not just as a Police Dog Handler, but a normal Police Officer facing life and death situations in a daily base.
If you missed them then do not fear! Below is last nights clip! I should also be on next Tuesday’s episode too and all episodes are available on catch up! 👍🐾🦮
This goofball sleeps like a human! I’m sure he’s a child in a furry suit? 🤔😉🫣❤️🐕🐾🐕🦺
As I always say, you are constantly training your dogs EVERY DAY! Dog training is all about teaching good habits into your dog. Just little ‘snippets’ of training, like the ‘Sit’, ‘Wait’ and ‘Watch Me’ (as seen here in the video) every meal time will be invaluable in many other situations where you need your dogs to ‘Sit’. ‘Stay’ or ‘Watch’ you!
So don’t forget to be consistent in your training and it will soon become their habit! 👍🐕🐾🐕🦺🦮🐶
(NB. Please excuse the Crocs! )😱😉🤣
***TRAINING!***
People often ask me ‘How often do you have to do training with your dog?’ My simple answer is that you are ALWAYS training your dog! Just asking them to ‘sit’ to receive a treat; to get them to settle in their bed; to get them to ‘wait’ next to you before you cross the road; all these and many more examples is ‘training’!
I constantly ask my dogs to ‘wait’ whilst out on walks amongst other things. Particularly with ‘Oreo’ who can be reactive to some dogs, I sometimes have to get him to ‘wait’ or recall him so I can put him back on a lead, just in case!
Here I am this morning on a lovely walk chucking in the occasional ’wait’. Always ‘train’ your dog different techniques so they can master what you require from them before you actually need to use it! 👍🐾🐕🐕🦺
Making rewarding ‘mental stimulation’ games for your dogs using empty egg boxes!
What is your dogs annoying habit? Dog aggression? Lead Pulling? Barking? Jumping up? 🤔

Someone was really interested in the Dog Academy on Thursday night! 🤔🤣🐾🐕🐕🦺❤️
One of my client Tariq’s concern was his stress levels whilst walking ‘Conan’ through Kensington High Street, so ‘Conan’ would pick up on his ‘negative’ energy.
Here’s a short footage of a nice and chilled dog and owner out in busy London Town! 👍🐾🐕👏👏👏👏👏
******’OREO’ UPDATE!******
Having been asked by many people on how our rescue Tibetan Terrier ‘Oreo’ is getting on, I thought I’d do a final update on his progress to date, now we’ve reached the 7 month mark of having him in our home. 👍🐾🐕
Lovely Christmas morning walk with the Donkey!🙄😉😂 ‘Oreo’s recall is coming on massively! 👍🐾🦮🐕
Thinking of getting a puppy for Christmas?…………………
‘Oreo’s recall is coming on quite nicely but still not quite there! Varying his time ‘off lead’ and he hasn’t run off yet! Still easily distracted as you can see! 🙄😉👍🐕🦺🐕
My latest update on ‘Oreo’! 👍🐾🐕🦺🐕
‘Oreo’ met up with our friends dogs ‘Nala’ a 10yr old wire haired Fox Terrier and ‘Buddy’ a year old Shih Tzu. Knowing ’Buddy’ was quite a ‘dominant’ dog around other dogs, the initial introductions were done outside before entering the garden. Doing the meeting slowly slowly and ‘on lead’ allows all the dogs to meet at a steady pace and enabling me to read their body language to work out what they were saying! A later scuffle occurred when ‘Buddy’ thought ‘Oreo’ was after his food when they managed to enter the kitchen, but they were easily split up with their ‘control’ leads. 👍🐾🐕🐕🦺
Video 2 update for week 2 of ‘Oreo’s progress! 👍🐕🐾🐕🦺
