New dog blog! An A-Z guide to dog training and behaviour jargon that all new dog-parents should know!
Dog training is an exciting and rewarding journey, but it can sometimes feel like learning a whole new language. Terms like “positive reinforcement,” “thresholds,” and “counterconditioning” can sound intimidating at first, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the jargon.
Understanding these terms, however, is the key to building a strong bond with your dog. It helps you see the world through their eyes, communicate clearly, and choose the right training techniques for your dog’s individual needs. Whether you’re teaching basic cues, working on reactivity, or simply trying to understand your dog’s behaviour, having a clear grasp of the language of training will make the process smoother for both of you.
This A-Z guide is designed to demystify dog training and behaviour jargon. Each term is explained in simple, practical terms, with examples to show how they apply to real-life situations. Whether you’re a new dog owner or just looking to brush up on your knowledge, this guide will help you feel more confident and informed every step of the way.

Such a diva/plonker, but I love him.
I’m on a unit about breed differences but under vizsla I can’t see anything about diva/plonker behaviour, so I’ll be informing the Kennel Club immediately.

I did an evening drop in for lovely Labrador Loki whilst his family had to go out. We popped out for a quick mooch/pee/poo and look who we bumped into!
