A&F Dog Services is a family-run business, with qualified instructors/dog trainers, specialized both in training security /protection dogs as well as companion dogs to the highest standards. We treasure our craft, and it is a great pleasure for us to train doggy pupils and see them grow and learn while developing a relationship with their beloved owners. We deliver puppy classes, obedience dog tra
ining, behavioural problems, residential training, 1-2-1 Dog Training, group training and more. As owners of dogs ourselves, we at A&F Dog Services understand how important it is for you to find caring people with first-hand experience and skills to look after dogs. Due to the fact that I own two large Central Asian Shepherds who have a complex and stubborn nature, I have three years of experience with dogs and training, and now I'm starting my professional career, because I love dogs and I know how to handle them properly, so I'd like to help and share my experience with others who love their dogs as much as I do.

Dogs in Islam - Understanding the Perspective πΆπ
The question of whether dogs are considered βharamβ in Islam often arises. While the Quran does not explicitly forbid the ownership of dogs, there are certain guidelines and cultural interpretations that have shaped views on dogs in Islamic traditions.
In Islam, dogs are primarily seen as working animals, such as hunting dogs or herding dogs, and they are allowed for specific purposes, like safeguarding livestock or property.
However, some Islamic scholars advise against keeping dogs as pets due to various reasons, including concerns about ritual purity and cleanliness. These views vary among different Islamic schools of thought.
Itβs essential to note that Islamic beliefs and practices can vary widely, and the perception of dogs in Islam is not universally the same. Itβs a topic of interpretation and understanding within the context of oneβs beliefs and cultural background.
Ultimately, itβs crucial to respect diverse perspectives and practices within the Muslim community regarding dogs and other matters of faith. ππΎ
Ever wondered how our four-legged friends view the world? Letβs dive into the pawspective of a dog! ππ
ποΈ Vision: Dogs see a spectrum of colors, but their world is more like a pastel painting. They excel in low-light vision and motion detection.
π Hearing: Their ears are tuned for higher frequencies, picking up sounds we canβt even fathom, like a distant whistle or a squirrel rustling in the leaves.
π Smell: A dogβs sense of smell is like a superpower! They can detect scents in parts per trillion, helping them explore the world through their noses.
πΎ Taste & Touch: Their sense of taste isnβt as complex as ours, but their keen sense of touch helps them navigate and communicate.
π§ Brain: Dogs are highly perceptive to our emotions, forming a deep bond and understanding of their human companions.
So, while their view may not be as colorful as ours, the way they perceive the world is truly extraordinary. ππΆβ€οΈ

πΆπ± Curious about fleas? Let's break it down! π¦
Have you ever wondered if dog and cat fleas are the same? π€πΎ Well, they might seem similar, but there are some differences you should know about! π
π Dog Fleas:
Scientifically known as Ctenocephalides canis.
More commonly found on dogs.
Can occasionally infest cats, but not their preferred host.
May cause itching, discomfort, and skin issues in dogs.
π Cat Fleas:
Scientifically known as Ctenocephalides felis.
Most commonly found on cats.
Can also infest dogs and other animals.
Known for their agility and jumping ability.
Can transmit diseases if left untreated.
So, while they may both be tiny and annoying, dog and cat fleas are not exactly the same! π§ Keep your furry friends protected with regular flea prevention to ensure they stay happy and healthy. ππΎπβ€οΈ

Reflecting on 2023 π: A year of challenges, growth, and sacrifices. π I poured my heart and soul into my business, learned, and embarked on my social media journey. It was mentally tough, and I often put my clients' needs above my own.π But as we step into 2024, I'm making a promise to myself and my loved ones. Family time is precious, self-care is essential. My journey will continue, but with a better balance. Here's to a brighter, more balanced year ahead! π₯π« #NewYear #Balance #2024Goals

Today is all about practice and training with our beloved Flora! πΎπ Obedience is not just about following commands; it's about keeping our furry friends safe and happy. ππWhy obedience? It's the foundation of a well-behaved and confident dog. It helps them understand boundaries, builds trust, and enhances communication between you and your pup.And when it comes to bite training, it's crucial for their safety and the safety of others. Teaching them when and how to use their bite appropriately prevents accidents and promotes responsible behavior.So, here's to productive practice sessions, happy tails, and the bond that grows stronger with every command! π𦴠#obediencetraining #dogsafety #happypuppy
πΆ Ralph's Journey: Building a Better Bond πΆββοΈπΎMeet Ralph, a pup who used to struggle with nervousness and reactivity on walks. He'd get overwhelmed, jump, and pull on the lead, making walks a challenge. Positive reinforcement alone didn't work, so we introduced a slip training lead.It's been a journey, but we're making progress. Towards the end of our walks, Ralph started walking nicely and reacting less to other dogs. There's still work ahead, but we're on our way to a stronger bond and more enjoyable walks for Ralph and his owner. ππ #dogtrainingtips #ProgressUpdate #StrongerBonds

π Dog Training Tip of the Day: Did you know dogs have a "Golden Window" for socialization? Between 3 to 14 weeks old, puppies are most receptive to new experiences, making it a critical period to expose them to various people, places, sounds, and other animals in a positive way. Proper socialization during this phase can help prevent many behavioral issues in the future. If you've adopted an older dog, don't worry! With patience and positive reinforcement, older dogs can still be successfully socialized. Remember, it's never about the age; it's about building positive associations. πΎβ¨ #DogTrainingTip #PuppySocialization #DogBehavior

πβπ¦Ί My Journey to Becoming a Dog Trainer πΎ Four years ago, I welcomed Ayza into my life - a stunning Central Asian Shepherd. For those who know this breed, you'd be aware of their strength and unique character. Searching far and wide, I discovered that a staggering 90% of trainers werenβt offering training that truly catered to breed specificities. Fast forward two years, and I introduced Flora into my family, another CAS with a fiercely protective instinct. This fueled my passion and drive to delve deeper. From reading countless books, attending seminars, to participating in webinars, I immersed myself in understanding the unique quirks and characteristics of different dog breeds. And so, two years after that, I made the decision to channel my passion and knowledge into becoming a certified dog trainer. Today, I am proud to hold the NASDU Security Dog Handlers qualification, membership, and Dog Trainers qualification. For every dog owner who believes in breed-specific training tailored to your furry friend's unique characteristics, I am here to guide you. π π Connect with me to discover how I can assist you and your four-legged companion. #dogtrainingg #centralasianshepherd #DogLovers #mydogtrainingjourney

Parker, a retired police dog, rescued thrice and known for his aggression, has found a forever home with Jack and Sarah. Despite initial challenges, this dedicated couple's hard work has completely transformed Parker's behavior, a remarkable 180% change. Even a year after we stopped working together, they persistently train Parker, showcasing a fantastic example of the profound impact of commitment and love. Their story vividly illustrates how concerted effort can transform lives, and it fills me with pride and happiness #dogbehaviour #dogbehaviourmodification #dogbehaviourtraining #springerspaniel
