So here we have Coco and Oreo two French Bulldogs learning how to live together in harmony. A couple of little issues to iron out, but with some focus from the owners I am sure we will see a fantastic friendship bloom.

This is Poppy the Maltichon my most recent and youngest recruit to date. It is fantastic to start work with a puppy that is so young and facing the big wild world. It’s never too early to start training your pup.

Todays is a sit stay and recall. I mark him for sitting and return before making our gap wider and repeating. Yogi chose to lay down when he got to me and I have no issues with that.

Staying calm at the door and not charging out is important. Here we have my pup in a sit with his lead on and the door open. I am his distraction as I go in and out the door.

Ignore the scruffy doorway the building work is never ending.

The award to the most challenging dog breed to pronounce.

The Xoloitzcuintle!!

Otherwise known as the Mexican Hairless Dog.

Do you have an unusual breed? How often do you get asked what breed your dog is?

Ok folks fireworks are coming.

Now is a good time to start conditioning your dogs. Find a sound clip of fireworks on you tube or similar and play it to your dogs. Play it at a volume level that is only just audible. Play it everyday day or several times a day turning the volume up a little each time. Slow and steady will condition them to loud bangs etc.

Benefits of Crate Training;

Provides a safe place for your dog when they are tired or stressed

Helps with toilet training as dogs do not like to make a mess where they sleep!

Prevents destructive behaviour

Peace of mind when you leave your dog unsupervised.

A bit of down stay practise.

DEAR DOGS,
1) When I say move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.
2) The dishes with the paw print design are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food.
PLEASE NOTE: Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
3) The stairway is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Nor does tripping me help because I can fall faster than you can run.
4) I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs sleeping. They can actually curl up in a ball.
5) It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.
6) For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, bark, try to turn the k**b or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I used to enter. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years; canine attendance is not mandatory.
7) The proper order is: 1) kiss me, 2) lick your butt.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
8. I love you... anyway and always!

So prior to our 1-2-1 session last night Cara would not lie down when asked. A quick lesson and some practise from Mum and she has sussed it!

06/02/2022

Say hello to Billy and Cara a lively pair of Jack’s who I have just started working with. They are just learning the benefits of hand feeding, positive reinforcement and marker training.

So tonight I met my youngest and definitely my smallest recruit. A very cute little Cockapoo and Dachshund mix called Ella. Lots of learning about puppies for the owners and some engagement and focus work for Ella. Really looking forward to seeing this one progress.

Loose lead walking coming along well!

Working on a down stay with a little distance and duration. 14 weeks old and learning fast.

08/01/2022

A little something to consider.

It’s a hard life being a dog in my house.

06/01/2022

This Facebook joke sums it up. Sometimes raising a puppy can feel like you are banging your head against a brick wall but keep up with the training and the difficult periods will get much easier.

05/01/2022

My latest and youngest recruit is the little beauty that is Bella. Just 11 weeks old but already learning about positive reinforcement and how to build a positive association with her crate etc. Really looking forward to seeing this young lady develop.

Frenchie overload tonight with my boy Reg.

04/01/2022

Great to see the lovely Leia again after meeting her just before Xmas Leia is now 8 months old and fighting fit again after breaking a leg. The owners have been working on all the puppy basics and she is making great progress. Tonight we started on teaching her to go to bed and that the hoover is not some crazy monster that needs to be chased out of the house. Looking forward to our next session.
