Preventing our dogs from chasing wildlife is essential for safety and protecting nature. It helps avoid accidents, like dogs running into roads, and shows respect for animals in their habitat. Some dogs find this challenging, but don’t worry—I’m here to help! UK law requires dogs to be under control, so reach out to see how I can support you. With proper training, harmony can be achieved.

Meet my two furry companions: Little Pixel and speedy Rocket.
Pixel 🐾 strolls along like she’s in a peaceful nature documentary. She takes her time, savoring every scent and moment.
Rocket, 🚀 on the other hand, lives up to his name. He’s all speed and energy, zipping around the park in every direction. Training Rocket feels like trying to teach a tornado to sit 🤦♀️—it’s possible, but it takes patience.
The lesson here? Every dog is unique! Whether you’re ambling with a Pixel or sprinting with a Rocket, adjusting your training to suit their style makes all the difference. 😄

This gorgeous pup used to struggle with pulling on the lead, but his transformation has been amazing! His owners have done an incredible job teaching him to stay calm and focused, even with distractions around. Lead walking is a key skill that requires patience and consistency. For many dogs, mastering self-control is the game-changer. With the right effort, any pup can learn to walk with confidence and ease!

Sometimes even senior pups need a recall refresher! 🐾 In this reel, my chihuahua decides to ignore my recall cue (classic!) so I follow up with a 'leave it'— and she comes trotting back like a champ. 💖 At her age, she never strays too far, but it's a great reminder that keeping cues sharp is important at any stage of life. Since she’s not into treats or toys outdoors, verbal praise and letting her sniff again are my go-to rewards. I will be topping it up in the house too when she's much more motivated for rewards to build in that relflex to the recall cue. ✨
Training is a lifelong journey—top up those cues, no matter how old your dog is! 🐶💪

Whether you're training for safety, control, or peace of mind, a reliable distance sit can be a powerful tool in any dog owner’s skill set. 🐶💙 It's a valuable skill that could one day keep your dog safe! Whether it's to prevent them from running into a busy road, approaching a potentially dangerous situation, or simply helping them focus in an exciting environment, a quick stop and sit command can make all the difference.

Training during walks reinforces good behaviour in real-world settings, helping your dog respond to commands even with distractions. It improves lead manners, provides mental stimulation, and strengthens your bond.
With the right training, your dog becomes better prepared for unexpected situations, learns impulse control, reduces behavioural issues, and grows into a well-balanced, happy companion.

Many pups love to grab things and run off with them, and Rocket was no different—it was sometimes quite a challenge when he was a puppy because he loved carrying everything in his mouth. But here are a few tips that helped us:
1️⃣ Put away anything you don't want them to grab.
2️⃣ Teach them to fetch!
3️⃣ Avoid chasing and grabbing things from their mouths.
4️⃣ Work on a solid 'leave it' cue.
5️⃣ Be patient – it takes time!
We taught Rocket to bring his toys to us and really rewarded him for it. Now his enthusiasm is unmatched! 🐾❤️
