Wise words, take note!

When people ask me what I think about retractable leads, my answer is always “a time and a place” - the roadside being the one place I wouldn’t put a retractable on my dog if you paid me £1million.
Fine to use them if you’re in the middle of nowhere, but near traffic, always stick to a short lead.
That’s a normal, short lead, not a retractable on a short setting - those mechanisms can break and if it’s going to break, it’ll be when your dog is pulling towards something, which could be on a road.

Is it really worth it?!

𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗜 𝗔𝗟𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔 𝗗𝗢𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗥

The dog was being walked on a pavement next to a road....

On a retractable lead

The dog suddenly leapt into the road

Luckily due to my lightning reflexes ⚡ I swerved my car just in time

Thankfully there was no other vehicles coming towards me in the opposite direction. Thankfully as I was able to swerve rather than suddenly brake I avoided the possibility of the car behind colliding with mine

There could have been 1 dead dog, a devastated owner, a traumatized me (and other driver) and two damaged cars. All because someone chose to use a retractable lead next to a road

I'm shaken

The owner got angry with his dog and gave it a big tug with the lead and shouted. I understand the frustration, especially when a dog that usually keeps to the pavement suddenly does the unexpected, but the dog didn't deserve a telling off because the dog was just being a dog

This could have been avoided by clipping the dog onto a short lead

Now I'm not against retractable leads unlike most dog professionals. I do actually think they a few specific and appropriate uses. But we must put safety first and consider others around us

A retractable lead is not the right lead choice while walking along the pavement. If you use the extension of the lead in an open area then you need to carry the retractable lead with you, and attach your dog onto a short lead while you walk to that destination.

PLEASE if you use a retractable lead, you need to do a quick risk assessment. Is the environment an appropriate place to use this lead? What could go wrong? If you are near a road then the answer is no and you could be risking your dog's life

There are people that will be reading this that will think it won't happen to them and that I am being dramatic. Surely nobody thinks it'll happen to their dog? Nobody attaches their dog to a retractable lead, walks near a road and expects their dog to jump into oncoming traffic

I actually know two dogs that lost their lives by being hit by cars due to inappropriate use of a retractable lead. Those people didn't think it would happen to them either.

The truth is this can happen to any dog. Dogs are unpredictable, even he most 'obedient' and well trained dog. The dog I nearly hit today was simply SNIFFING something interesting in the road

No dog is a robot

Dogs get startled

Dogs instincts take over

Don't risk it. Not only is it not fair on your dog to put them at risk like this, it is not fair for road users

What’s your dog’s song that you’ve made up for them? 😅

Captain’s nickname is Monster Mash… remember the Spider Pig song from the Simpsons? I sing this to him:

Monster Mash, Monster Mash
Does whatever a Monster Mash does
Can he swing from a ledge?
No he can’t, cos he’s a Mash
Looooook ouuuuut, he’s a Monster Mash!

And Sarge’s is from the children’s Christmas song, Little Donkey, so his goes:

Little Sargie, little Sargie
Little Sargie Bearrrrrr
Little Sargie, little Sargie
Little Sargie Bearrrrrr

😂😂

🌟 Sunday Success Story 🌟

Here’s an email I received yesterday from a client who’d just finished her second session with me to help her dog, Roby, overcome some of his confidence and anxiety issues.

So nice to receive such positive feedback after just a couple of sessions working together. Well done to Carolyn, and to Roby, for making such positive changes so quickly 🥰❤️🐾

❌ RAPESEED! ❌

It’s that time of year again where farmers fields have blossomed into pretty yellow flowers, these plants are called rapeseed. Although it may be tempting to place your dog in the mist to take a scenic photo, please avoid this at all costs!

Rapeseed is extremely poisonous for dogs, especially in highly sensitive canines.

Rapeseed is listed by Dogs Trust as toxic to our dogs if ingested and can cause symptoms such as:

❌ Hemolytic Anemia
❌ Blindness
❌ Damaged Nervous System
❌ Digestive Disorders
❌ Breathing Problems

Even walking through these fields should be avoided! In June 2019, a dog has been reported to suffer from severe open wounds after running through a crop of rapeseed.

Please seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog shows any signs of rapeseed poisoning.

Did you know I teach I tricks, too? It doesn’t have to all be obedience training, we can have fun using your dog’s brain and giving them chance to show off their talents 🤩 Here’s a video of my Captain performing just some of his many skills 🥰❤️🐾

🌟 Sunday Success Story 🌟 This is yesterday’s group of puppies all learning how to settle and sit still in a public environment in our puppy class. They’re all under 6 months old, aren’t they superb? 🤩❤️🐾 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

Whistle trained recall 😍 Handy to have in noisy areas or where it’s not appropriate to call your dog to you. Also a nice alternative to a verbal cue to keep your dog engaged and to use brain as well as his body whilst exercising. For extra help on recall, including whistle training, feel free to get in touch 🐾 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

⭐️ Sunday Success Story ⭐️ Question: How do you keep your dog’s focus on you in an environment full of distractions? Answer: Tap into your dog’s instincts to feed their happy place ☺️ This is Riku, a Jack Russell, and he’s chasing a flirt pole in order to replicate chasing vermin and other small animals. For obvious reasons, we can’t allow him to chase and catch a rat, but we can let him chase the flirt pole and catch the toy at the end. This fills Riku full of so many happy chemicals and satiates his instincts massively, which in turn makes his owner the most important thing around. Have a think about what your dog was bred for, and how we can safely replicate the job he has such a desire to fulfil. It could be a real game changer in gaining your dog’s attention 😍 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

What type of “Scaler” have you got? ⚖️ 🙈😂

⭐️ Sunday Success Story ⭐️ Teaching our pups to play well and learn social graces with other puppies is so important for them. It helps them to understand body language and how to communicate effectively, as well as building confidence around other dogs. Here are some of the little ones who joined us for the Puppy Party yesterday morning 🐶 If you’d like your pup to join in the fun, get in touch to book your place. Parties are held every Saturday morning at 11am in Dukinfield and are suitable for those aged under 6 months and who are fully vaccinated. I am on hand to oversee all interactions and to make sure everyone is having a good time and enjoying themselves ❤️🐾 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

⭐️ Sunday Success Story ⭐️ Here’s 4 month old Wilma, who was starting to get very pully on the lead. Wilma’s Mum called me in to help with this, and here she is a week later, walking like a dream 🤩 Admittedly, a one week turnaround is very fast for fixing lead walking, but the younger you train a pup, the quicker the success. Well done Wilma! 🥰❤️🐾 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

Meg and the Vacuum Cleaner

⭐️Sunday Success Story ⭐️ Here’s Meg, who was afraid of vacuum cleaners and other scary moving things. Now, after lots of positive association, time and patience, and plenty of treats, she’s learned that these things aren’t so scary after all 🥰Well done, Meg! ❤️🐾 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

Recall

Recall in the snow ❄️🐕🐕 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

⭐️ Snowday Success Story ⭐️ Here’s 8 month old Riku, who has successfully learned how to be a snow plough, under my excellent and highly qualified Snow Plough Tuition Classes. He has done so well that he’ll be in the Tameside area today, clearing your driveways. All he asks in exchange is a bit of chicken and a “Good Boy” 🤭 (It’s snow joke!) ❄️ www.captainsordersdogtraining.com

⭐️ Sunday Success Story ⭐️

⭐️ Sunday Success Story ⭐️ This is little Meg, who used to go bonkers if any animals were on TV. But look at her now, laid down and chilled, even with dogs on the screen! Well done, Meg ❤️🐾 www.captainsordersdogtraining.com
