Lolly had one of her Done-For-You Dog Training sessions this week!

We headed to Robert Gleave Home & Garden Centre to help her get more comfortable being out and about, ensuring it was a positive and enjoyable experience for her.

Not long ago, Lolly used to feel super nervous in these kinds of situations. But now? She’s calm, confident, and takes everything in her stride.

It’s such a joy to see her transformation, and I can’t wait to continue supporting her progress 🐾

Maggie the Goldendoodle had her behaviour assessment last week!

She’s working on her over-excitement around other dogs, which has led to behaviours like tugging on the lead, mouthing hands and arms, pulling to get to other dogs, and the occasional hu***ng.

The good news is, Maggie is very food-motivated, which makes training much easier and more enjoyable for her. With a behaviour plan now in place, I’m excited to see her progress and help her become more calm and focused on her walks.

Looking forward to seeing her grow and improve 🐾

2 very different personalities yesterday 😅

Jasper wanted to go somewhere relatively snow-free. I don't think he fancied going home with 'snow boots' on! So we headed down to Castle Park, where he was a menace to a snowman, and attempted to chase down a kite.

Lolly adores the snow, so we ventured down the footpaths of Bradley Lane. She was very vocal about her enjoyment!

Lately, I’ve seen articles labeling Cane Corsos as “XL bullies on steroids” and “killing machines.” As a responsible dog owner, trainer, and advocate for large breeds, I feel it’s important to address this.

Let’s be clear: any dog, regardless of breed, can become problematic in the wrong hands. The issue isn’t the breed, it’s the people who purchase powerful dogs without understanding the responsibility that comes with them. Proper training and socialisation are non-negotiable for all dogs, especially large, strong breeds like the Cane Corso.

I have a rescue Cane Corso, and I can tell you firsthand that this breed is far from the “monster” the media paints them to be. My dog is loving, sweet, and adores people - especially children. Like many Cane Corsos, she is loyal, protective, and eager to please. Qualities that make them incredible family pets when raised and trained properly.

It’s time to stop blaming breeds and start holding owners accountable. Responsible dog ownership isn’t just about picking the right breed - it’s about committing to the training and care that every dog deserves.

Let’s work together to change the narrative around Cane Corsos and other misunderstood breeds. Education and responsible ownership are the real solutions

Embarking on a Kind Dog Training Journey!

Starting a dog training journey is exciting—but also a little daunting. Whether you're teaching your dog the basics or tackling unwanted behaviours, one thing is clear: how we train makes all the difference.

Science—and common sense—tells us that positive reinforcement is the gold standard for training. Instead of punishing what we don’t like, we reward what we do. The result? A dog that learns faster, stays happier, and trusts you completely.

Unlike outdated punishment-based methods, positive reinforcement doesn’t rely on fear. Punishment may suppress a behaviour, but it often creates anxiety and damages the bond between you and your dog. With positive reinforcement, you’re building a relationship based on trust and understanding—not intimidation.

Dogs are also natural learners through play, which makes training both effective and fun! Whether it’s a game of tug or a quick session with tasty treats, play keeps your dog engaged and eager to learn. You’ll teach your dog alternative behaviours to replace the ones you don’t love—like sitting politely instead of jumping up to say hello.

Positive reinforcement is more than just a training method; it’s a philosophy that celebrates the joy of working together as a team. So grab some treats, find a favourite toy, and enjoy the journey. Your dog will thank you with a wagging tail, eager eyes, and plenty of love.

Ready to start? Let the fun begin!
