We’ve said it before and we will say it again, puppies and young dogs in daycare are amazing- we love watching them play and having fun but our biggest flex will always be our sofas (and hearts) that are filled with dogs that have been coming here their whole lives, the dogs who’ve shared every season with us, some in their double digits now, they are the whole point. Don’t get me wrong, we appreciate all our daycare dogs for however long they stay with us, but oh what an honour it is to be part of a dogs whole life 🤍

The handsome Parker has already been in to stock up on his tasty treats but if you’ve forgotten and want a way to keep your pup entertained with this coming week of rain (gutted 🥺) then we are open this bank holiday Monday 9-6 and daycare is open as usual too.

As I take my dogs on their morning walk, I often indulge in the dangerous pastime of pondering. Watching each of them individually approach the world and process their experiences organically, I found myself thinking about a current buzzword in training: neutrality.

I haven’t attended every neutrality class or walk, so I can’t speak for all of them. But anecdotally, and from my own observations, I wonder—have we replaced trust with neutrality? Are we truly seeing neutrality, or are we witnessing dogs responding to the consequences of not behaving the way we want? Is your dog calm and collected, or are they simply holding it together for the sake of a treat—like a coiled spring? Do they truly feel neutral?

To me, teaching genuine calmness doesn’t start by flooding a dog with overwhelming experiences or environments. It starts at home, in the classroom, and most importantly, by building a real bond. With my own dogs, daycare dogs, and clients’ dogs, I don’t want them to perform neutrality—I want them to show me how they genuinely feel. I want them to feel safe, seen, and understood.

We aim to teach impulse control, boundaries, frustration tolerance, and emotional regulation. We want them to trust that we won’t place them in dangerous or uncomfortable situations.

Some say neutrality brings freedom. But I’d argue that true freedom comes from feeling safe. If your dog is afraid of the consequences of not appearing neutral, are they really free?
I would rather unpick the threads that have woven that fear rather than put a patch over it to tick a box that my dog is ‘fine’ in certain situations. I’d rather respect my dogs boundaries than push them to appear “neutral” in a situation they clearly aren’t comfortable in.

Group walks, training classes, calmness, and manners are all valuable. We often include group walks in our sessions. I’m not saying neutrality classes don’t work—but they must be grounded in respect for each dog as an individual. These tools should never become just another box-ticking exercise. Neutrality is great, but only if it can go hand in hand with trust.
