1-1 Dog Training Day Taster Day

📅 Sunday 27th July
📍 Cumbernauld
🕰️ 30 minute 1-1 sessions

£15 donation for The Old Sheepdog Club Scotland Rescue & Rehoming.

I’m offering 30 minute one to one sessions to help you with everyday unwanted behaviours you may be struggling to crack. Or maybe you’d like to improve your dog’s focus around distractions? I’m happy to help with anything!

It isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about coming along for a chat and providing you with clear, practical tips that you can start using straight away.

This day is in memory of my Client Morag who sadly passed away. Her dog Eva (The Diva) was rehomed through the rescue and they have been nothing but phenomenal. Morag was one of the first people to trust me to help with their dog’s training and we formed such a lovely friendship over the last few years.

Eva was a reject from the other dog walkers 🤣 (They don’t mind me saying that) and I accepted the challenge and wanted to help. Eva went from being nervous outdoors, reactive to men and dogs to enjoying walks with her pals, gaining confidence and is now happy in her new home with a male owner, something that wouldn’t have been possible before!

I will also be collecting Donations for The Pet Pantry Cumbernauld, a charity that was also important to Morag. Any food / toys / equipment etc is appreciated 🐾

If you enjoy your session and would like to continue, you’ll receive 10% off block bookings. Plus, 10% of block booking sales will be donated to the Rescue.

Message me to book your spot & support our dogs and community 💚

🐾🐶 HOW THE HECK DO YOU CHOOSE A DOG TRAINER? 🐶🐾

If you’ve ever tried to pick a dog trainer, you’ll know what I mean.

Some say their classes are kept small so every dog gets focused support.

Others say they never turn away a puppy who needs help.

Some promote hall-based training for consistency and calm.

Others insist that outdoor training is the only way to prepare for real life.

Some only teach in quiet, private fields.

Others run all their classes in busy parks.

One trainer might highlight their decades of experience.

Another leads with passion and a fresh approach.

Some say group classes aren't right for every dog and require a one-to-one first.

Others say group work is where the learning really happens.

🙈

It's a lot. And it’s no wonder we’re left feeling confused.

Is one-to-one training better?
If it’s a group, should it be four dogs? Or six? Or more?
Should it be indoors, outdoors, or out and about?

The answer? It depends. 😊

Because so much of what trainers offer is shaped by what works for them.
Their background. Their confidence. Their personal preferences.
The venues they have access to. The experiences they’ve had before.
What makes them feel like they can show up and do their best work.

And that’s valid.

But it also means there’s no single "right" way.
Which is why I think it matters that you look beyond the headline and do a bit of digging.

It matters that you find someone whose style suits you.

Whose values align with yours.
Whose methods make sense to you.
Who’s clear, consistent, and transparent about what they do, and why.

I’m always surprised by how few people actually ask questions before booking.
Beyond “what day is it?”, “where is it held?” and “how much does it cost?”
I’d say fewer than 10 percent ask anything more. And I find that strange.

Because I ask questions about anyone involved in my dogs’ lives.
Whether it’s training, food, grooming or veterinary care.
I want to know what they believe, how they work, and if it sits comfortably with me.

So no, you don’t need to find the most experienced trainer, or the most affordable, or the one with the best-looking venue.
You just need to find someone whose approach feels right for you and your dog.

Because that’s what sets you both up to thrive. 🥰🐶

This will affect so many people.

Imagine your a dog walker who uses slip leashes every day but one of your competitors reports you for raising up on a leash.

It could be argued that martingale collars and Ramsay range from bully billows could be banned in Scotland too.

Let's say you adopted a flight risk Romanian rescue and the charity recommends a slip leash well your in trouble if you use one!

Showing dogs in Scotland? This will affect you too! Because you can't use anything that tightens.

It's not just about Ecollars folks it's all equipment barr harnesses!
