🎓 Day Train Academy 📚 Sad news’s folks… we are closing the DTA……inductions! 😝 As we evolve the DTA a little more, we don’t want our existing canine students to be missing out! It’s fantastic that people love coming to us and it pains us not to be able to offer more to all those who need it, however being able to ensure we deliver the best individual tailored training and care is our key mission and to do that we need to ensure people can have consistent sessions. So as of the 13th August, we will temporarily pause DTA inductions. There will be the possibility to register for first notification when we reopen them if you miss the chance before this time! 🐶🐕🐾🦴🦮 #greatpaws #greatpawsgang #dogtraining #tailblazer #darlington #lovedarlo #puppy #dog #reactivedog #daytrainacademy #greatpawsclick #scentdog

Come join us and spread the word! More the merrier!

🤓 Day Train Academy 🎓 We are not a day care… we are a full day training and enrichment centre designed to help your dogs have a variety of natural outlets, supported social learning experiences, mental and physical enrichment and of course TRAINING! Our training is designed to complement your existing training plans and provide you with resources and feedback to progress. 😡 Above all of this, we specialise in dog to dog reactivity and actively welcome such dogs who are often excluded from other pet services due to their nerves, anxiety, lack of social skills, over excitement, genetics or even their inappropriate learnt behaviour! 🔞 We will soon be pausing inductions to the DTA … so head to the website now to book and complete your online induction and get your trial days booked before it’s too late! ⏰ 🐶🐕🐾🦴🦮 #greatpaws #puppy #dog #reactivedog #scentdog #reactive #barkingdog

🧠 Stop Using Enrichment 🤯 🧩The boom in enrichment toys, feeders and puzzles is fantastic innovation and an awesome way to enable and nurture some natural instinctive desires for your dog. However they should be used in a way that is supportive to your goals and in a way that doesn’t drive dependence or even escalate frustration for your dog. Sadly I see all too often people who utilise these fantastic options as a crutch🩼 to just get through the day not realising they are making their problems worse! So what’s the solution? Sign up to Tail Bozer membership and learn how to truly enrich your dogs life!

⬅️ Shift left Feedback 🧠 “The shift left session was great (paws). Incredibly eye opening and almost therapeutic at times. to feel like we’re not alone & everyone in the room had similar shared experiences. it’s great to go away feeling more positive & armed to deal with our own selves in order to help our dog. Very engaging, super friendly & open environment” We loved delivering this session and the feedback has been incredible! 🐶🐕🐾🦴🦮 #greatpaws #click #tailblazer #puppy #dog #reactivedog #daytrainacademy #scentdog #mindfullness #mentalwellbeing

😕Self blame & Frustration 🧠 One of the biggest things I see with people working on their dogs reactions to anything, is blaming themselves or the situation driving frustration with a merry go round of actions with no improvement. 👨‍🎓We play the biggest part in our dogs ability to learn and overcome challenges with behaviour - so why are we not focusing on ourselves as much as our dogs? 📈Well it’s time to change and get a handle on our end of the lead, starting with our SHIFT LEFT ⬅️ workshop.

🙌 Woofin Winner - Clients Smashing it🏆 From Hugo’s mum 😍 BIG woofin win for us and Hugo - he met not one, not two, but THREE new dogs today! We used our learnings from the mini 1:1s and DTA with Great Paws and he absolutely smashed it out the park. So much so I could barely get a pic of them all together because he wasn’t even bothered by the new dogs, he just wanted to go and tootle round and sniff! I can’t believe how well he’s done, it’s a milestone I didn’t even have set because it didn’t cross my mind we’d ever be able to do it. Not something I’d have ever contemplated a year ago but we went into this meet with no second thoughts and it’s well and truly paid off. Thank you so much again for all your ongoing support!!! 🐶🐕🐾🦴🦮 #greatpaws #greatpawsgang #dogtraining #tailblazer #darlington #lovedarlo #puppy #dog #reactivedog #daytrainacademy #greatpawsclick #scentdog #puppy
