In an exclusive interview, the dog trainer defended his horrific actions by saying

“I mean he’s a fu**in terrier. Terriers are nutcases at the best of times. It’s not my fault he wants a good scrap, it’s what he was bred to do”

When asked why he couldn’t have used more humane and less abusive tactics he answered

“Because he’s a terrier you moron, he’s bred to kill things. Unless your licki Matt can bite him back he’s not gonna be interested”

These controversial opinions are sure to get this incredibly handsome and funny dog trainer into hot water in the future!

The red fox lab/retriever is a deceptively difficult dog-not impossible to live with but not the easiest option either, especially for first time dog owners.

I wouldn’t say bully breeds are stupid…they’re just running on a slightly older software

Everyone’s so quick to want to correct their dogs reactivity and other bad behaviours before looking at some other important issues that could be leading to the reactivity.
A lot of the time, reactivity is more than just a behaviour. It’s important we address other parts of the dogs life if we want to have long term success

Teaching a dog to lie down can be quite tricky if you’re making this mistake regularly.
If you keep lifting your hand directly upwards then your dog might follow your hand up which can cause them to sit or stand up.
To fix this, move your hand backwards whilst still keeping it level with your dogs eyes/nose.
After a quick pause, reward your dog again. Eventually increase the amount of time you pause for. This will build the duration of your dog’s down and make the position your asking from them more clear.

Play based Dog Training can offer so much to your dog and your relationship with your dog. You just need to be prepared to do more than simply throw a ball in a park for a few minutes before calling it a day.

There are things that only dogs can teach other dogs.

These are two dog that were boarding with me last week..

This is a young puppy who has been socialised a lot with other energetic dogs just like her.

The shepherd is an older male. He isn’t as interested in being friends as she is..

I knew this would be a beneficial interaction for her as I can see that she NEEDS to learn that not every dog wants to be her play buddy..

Not only does the shepherd ignore her entirely, he even gives her a very measured correction at the end for getting too hyper

Gypsy has been in my day train program where one of our focuses has been on her socialisation.

With her still being a puppy it’s important that she learns how to interact with her environment in a positive way.

We’ve been building her motivation for food and her ability to pay attention to me when there are other things going on around her.

I will say, after about 10 minutes of this (especially in the warmer mornings) she’s absolutely exhausted😂

Finished up my last training session with Marvin today.
Marvin has a whole bunch of issues in the house and outside. We’ve covered management in the house like crating, keeping a house line on him (especially around the new baby in the house), place command, and tethering. All skills that help him regulate his emotions and keep him out of trouble.
We’ve also focused on building motivation for play and food. Both of those have developed brilliantly since I met him thanks to the work his owner has put in.
His owner was understandably nervous about working on his outdoor behaviour (he kicks off at every dog he sees!)
So we got Pepper out today and showed Marvin and his owner how to work on his reactivity.
I’m really happy with these guys and their progress!

Pepper has a tendency to get overstimulated when she’s around big crowds.

She struggles to focus and gets quite agitated, she just doesn’t really know what to do with herself.

That doesn’t mean that we shy away from crowds of people-we do the opposite. It means we go out of our way to find crowds and get her used to all the sights and sounds. .

With enough exposure, she’ll start to realise that a crowd of people isn’t a strange thing and that it’s okay to just relax in these environments. And if she ever does feel unsure, she just needs to look to me for help.

Ghillie got to spend his birthday with me during our day train programme!

Aegir recently completed his 10 Day intensive training programme with me. He was a big guy with lots of energy.

With a dog like Aegir it’s important to meet his physical and mental needs. This approach allows us to do this whilst also having time to teach him the new behaviours he has to learn.
