This weekend we said goodnight to one of the team, Max. We laid him to rest for the final time. To say we are devastated would be an understatement. Max was a huge part of my life, my families and was well known to friends and some clients. He was a true ambassador for his breed and taught me so much. There is a huge hole in my heart and everything's just a little too quiet right now.
Thankyou max for being my best friend, work buddy and loyal companion. I will miss you forever 💔

We have been helping Tyson with his reactivity to other dogs, lead work and tugging the lead. His progress has been phenomenal and his owners have worked so hard following the training plan and keeping it consistent 👌

Did you know Toys can be a fantastic way of having fun and building a relationship with your dog?

We often encourage our dogs to play with other dogs but this can often mean that we become much less fun to our dogs. Why then, would they want to stay with us on our walks?

Have regular play time with your dogs, be fun and encourage your dog to interact with you. Be part of the game rather than throwing a toy otherwise you become an obsolete object that the dog uses as a ball thrower.

Tuggy can be a great form of interactive play where you can be part of the game, but like with all games there should be rules, keep games short and don't encourage the dog to jump up. Most of all....have fun.

Here is Raffy after a play session with his new Halloween toy. He looks like he's had great fun.

Hi guys

Doing a bit of research on doggy stuff. Obviously many of you would have heard us speak about the various types of training. Having spoken with a colleague we would be interested to know what constitutes an aversive in training and would like your thoughts........

Our social walks are designed to help owners have a fulfilling relationship with their dogs and work on dog and human relationship rather than allowing your dog to run around and have fun with each other.
We run them in various environments but this week we went on a countryside walk where these guys smashed it.

I've heard so many times that spaniels can't walk nicely on lead, or that they struggle to walk with a loose lead as they are not designed that way.........

Don't forget we offer a range of services.

9 weeks training classes helping you build a fun relationship with your dog whilst teaching all the basic life skills.

One to one sessions that teach all the important life skills in your home and garden with a dedicated trainer that you don't have to share within a group.

Behaviour consultations are longer sessions for more complex behaviours helping you overcome the issues and live peacefully with your dog.

And our social walks which are for people who want to continue and further their training within a supportive network. These are for existing clients.

We went to see the beautiful Tyson and boy oh boy what a cracking lad he was. Tyson got over excited to see visitors and found it hard to settle after they came in, as you can see he settled nicely by the end of the session and his owners have done extremely well with him.

A Big Congratulations to Jinx, Mimi, Nala, Roxy & their bipedal companions for all their hard work!

We went to see Sonny recently who was barking and attacking the Tele everytime he saw another animal....amongst other things.

Sonny has started to learn some self control and is making better choices. Well done Sonny.

Thanks to Ellen and everyone who attended the last dog walk!
What a nice & talented group with their two-legged friends!

The training exercise ‘Middle’ that we do at CCDC, aids engagement, makes a moveable boundary ie a calm position for waiting at the vet’s & also provides good mental stimulation as it is a gateway to further training!

Looking forward to seeing you all today to talk all things dog 👍
