More Training Tips 🐶💕

Teach your puppy the five basic commands – sit, down, heel, stay and come. Remember only say the dogs name with he come command.
When teaching commands such as ‘sit’ and ‘down ’, get down to the level of your puppy.
To teach your puppy to ‘come’, attach a lead to their collar, let them wander away for a while and then call their name and the command ‘come’ while holding a treat. Reward them with the treat once they come over to you and repeat the process until your puppy learns to respond to the cue even without getting a treat as a reward.
Puppy training is best begun at eight weeks of age and puppies are operating at full learning capacity between eight and twelve weeks old.
Your voice is your best training aid – use a happy tone for praise, a clear tone for commands, and a firm tone to say “No”.

More Puppy Training Tips

Don’t let your puppy do things when they are young that you don’t want them to do later in life (e.g. jumping up onto furniture or sleeping in your bed).
Praise and positive reinforcement are very important when teaching puppy commands.
Never yell at your puppy or punish them for disobeying or ignoring your cue – positive reinforcement is the best way to train your dog.
A tiny dog treat or highly-flavoured food is the best reward when your puppy has done what you’ve asked them to, but remember not to overfeed. Treats should only make up 10% of their daily diet.

A great seminar

🧐Want to learn more about using a whistle for your dog?🧐

Join me for an online seminar all about introducing and using a whistle in your dog's training and everyday life! Learn from the mistakes I have made, so that you don't need to make them too, and I'll talk about how to use whistles, what to consider and even the whistle cues that are worth thinking about using day-to-day!

Monday 25th April, 7-8 pm with time for questions. If you cannot attend live, a time-limited recording of the session will be made available, but you must be pre-booked! £10 per person. PM for booking and payment details 😊

I LOVE whistle work and it is a great tool to have in my toolbox. For anyone who trains with me too, you'll know I talk a lot about using whistles and why they are so useful. This is an ideal session for anyone who wants to learn more or start using a whistle for their dog.

Looking forward to 'seeing' you there!

The importance of training
Having a well-behaved and socialised dog is easy if you begin training them when they’re a puppy.

Training tips
When praising your puppy (or adult dog), pat them under the chin or chest as this is more affectionate than a pat on the back or the head.
Training should be done in short but regular sessions throughout the day. We recommend five minutes sessions, four or five times a day to ensure your puppy is giving you their full attention during training.

To Whistle or Not to Whistle

To use a whistle means we all sound the same, a steady sound.
Spaniel people use the 210.5 as spaniels generally work closer in.
Retrievers can work further afield, the 211.5 has a different tone which lets the sound carry further.
We always advise starting whistle training early on.

Leads/ Harnesses
My preference is Slip leads , takes time and perseverance.
You can also walk great on a harness but can be known as messy lead training.

Attended this last Year

My name is Jackie and welcome to my page

I have had Working Cocker Spaniels for over 14 years where I have completed a variety of different training with them. I started with Flyball Training with The Flyingscots Flyball Team , which was an enjoyable way to bond with my dog and we really became partners in crime as well as working well as part of a larger team. Later, I moved towards Gun-dog training ( self taught) where again the bond and communication with your dog is essential.

The reason I have decided now to help others is because I have been helping families and friends train their dogs and I really enjoy sharing my knowledge as well as seeing the progress over time.

I believe the best way to get started is to teach you and your dog the first three steps of training, which consists of Lead Walking, Recall and Communication.

If you are keen to learn more, then please do not hesitate to contact me and we can arrange a 1-2-1 buddy session in the local community
