Struggling With Your Dog’s Behaviour? Let’s Work Together! 🐾

Does your dog pull on the lead, ignore you when called, or jump up on guests? These are some of the most common challenges dog owners face, and I’m here to help!

When we work together, I’ll create a personalised training plan tailored to you and your dog. Whether it’s teaching polite greetings, mastering recall, or improving focus on walks, we’ll break it down into simple, achievable steps.

For example:
If your dog pulls on the lead, we might start by teaching them to focus on you before moving forward. From there, we’ll practise rewarding loose lead walking in small, distraction-free environments and gradually build up to more challenging situations.

The result? Happier walks for you and your pup! 🐕

What’s the one thing you wish your dog would do (or stop doing)? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to help!

Why Tracking Your Dog’s Training and Behavior Matters

Keeping track of your dog’s training sessions and behaviour might feel like an extra step, but it’s one of the most effective ways to ensure long-term success. Here’s why:

Clear Progress Monitoring 📈
Writing down what you’re working on helps you see how far you’ve come. For example, if your goal is a reliable “sit” on cue, noting how often your dog succeeds (or struggles) will show measurable improvement.

Identify Patterns 🔍
Behaviour tracking helps uncover trends. Is your dog more distracted during evening walks? Does a certain day of the week seem to throw off their focus? This insight can help you adapt training for better results.

Stay Consistent ✔️
Training can be unpredictable, but a record keeps you accountable. Whether it’s daily leash walking practice or socialization exercises, writing it down helps you stay on track.

Pinpoint Challenges Early 🚩
When something doesn’t seem to be working, a training log can reveal why. You might notice patterns like distractions, fear triggers, or inconsistency in cues that need to be addressed.

Celebrate Small Wins 🎉
Training takes time, but seeing little victories—like a successful “stay” or fewer barking incidents—keeps you motivated.

How to Start Tracking:
Use a journal, an app, or even a simple chart.
Record details like:
Training focus (e.g., “heel,” recall).
Duration of sessions.
Success rate (e.g., percentage of correct responses).
Notes on distractions, successes, or struggles.
Pro Tip: Add photos or videos to visually track changes over time—it’s rewarding to see the transformation!

Have you started tracking your dog’s training and behaviour? If not, give it a try and let me know how it goes! 🐕💪

Let’s talk about… reactive dogs! 🐾

If your dog barks, lunges, or gets overly excited when they see other dogs, people, or certain triggers, they’re not being “naughty” – they’re just reactive. 💡

Why is my dog like this? Reactivity can stem from fear, frustration, or even excitement, and it’s more common than you might think!

The good news? With patience, consistency, and positive training techniques, you can help your pup feel calmer and more confident in these situations. 🌟 It’s all about understanding their needs and working as a team!

If you need help with your team to understand this issue more and learn techniques to manage and resolve this issue get in touch with us.

PS - we purposely have used a cartoon for this post as we don’t believe that any dog should be put into a situation that incites the issue. We are a welfare first organisation and do everything we can to protect the dogs we work with

Did you know? 🐾

In the UK, it’s the law for your dog to wear an ID tag on their collar when out in public! If your dog wears a harness they still need a collar with the tag on the collar rather than the harness.

🇬🇧 Even if your pup is microchipped (which is also required by law), they still need a tag with your name and address visible. 📛 Adding your phone number is a great idea too, so they can be quickly reunited with you if they ever go on an unexpected adventure. 🐶✨

It’s such a simple step that helps keep your furry friend safe – plus, it’s the perfect excuse to get them a stylish tag to show off their personality! 🐕💖

🐾 Dog Owners, We Want to Know! 🐕💬

If you could eliminate one part of your daily routine as a dog owner, what would it be? 👀

🌟🐾 It’s Get to Know Your Customers Day! 🐶💬

One of the best parts of what we do is getting to know YOU—our amazing community of dog lovers. From your training triumphs to the adorable quirks of your furry friends, every story inspires us! ❤️

Tell us:
🐕 What’s your dog’s name, and what’s their funniest or most unique trait?
🎉 What’s been your proudest moment as a dog parent?

Here are my girls Orianna and Brook. They are both Italian Spinone. Orianna doesn’t use her eyes and walks into things, Brook likes to open doors (so was taught to close them again). Orianna is the sweetest most loveable girl. Brook is a super smart cookie and needed a lot of extra training as a youngster. Both have excelled in their different training from Orianna being a great Gundog to Brook learning to visually match items and tidy up washing!

You’re turn! We can’t wait to hear about the pups that brighten your lives and keep our passion for training alive. Share below—we’d love to celebrate your stories today! 💕

🎥🐾 Heel work in action! Our Tuesday puppies are absolutely smashing it this week, with both the new pups and the older ones off to a flying start. Watching them focus, learn, and grow is such a joy! 🐶✨From baby steps to confident strides, every puppy is making amazing progress. Great work, everyone—keep it up! 💪🐕

🍖🐾 Treats or No Treats? The Great Debate!In the world of dog training, one hot topic is whether to use treats as rewards or stick to alternative methods like praise, toys, or play. And guess what? Both approaches can work brilliantly—it all depends on your dog and what motivates them! 🎉Food rewards can make learning new behaviors super fun and engaging for many pups, while others might respond better to a favorite toy or a good belly rub. What’s important is finding what lights up your dog’s tail and makes training a joyful experience for you both. 🐶✨There’s no “one-size-fits-all” in dog training—just a journey of discovering what helps your pup thrive! How does your dog like to be rewarded? Let’s celebrate all the ways we can build trust and connection with our furry friends. ❤️

🐾 Did You Know? Your Dog Can Read Your Mood! 🐾

Here’s a cool fact: Dogs are emotional sponges—they can sense your energy and mood, which affects how they respond during training. If you’re stressed or frustrated, your pup might get confused or anxious. But if you’re calm and positive, they’re much more likely to nail that new trick.

✨ Actionable Tip: Before any training session, take a deep breath, relax, and bring positive vibes. Even 30 seconds of calm can make a HUGE difference in how your dog learns. Remember: happy human = happy pup = successful training!

Training isn’t just about teaching cues —it’s about building a connection. 💛 So, next time you grab the lead and treats, check in with yourself first. Your dog will thank you with wagging tails and paw-fect behavior! 🐕
