🚶‍♀️ Struggling with a Puppy That Pulls on Walks? Read This! 🚶‍♂️

If your pup's turning your walks into a tug-of-war, it's time to shake things up. Here's a simple step-by-step plan to help:

🔍 Step 1: List the regular walks you take your puppy on.
📊 Step 2: Grade each from 1-5 (1 being low) based on how badly your puppy pulls.
🚫 Step 3: Any walks that score 4 or 5? Skip those spots for a few weeks—your pup might be too excited or frustrated there.
✅ Step 4: Use the right equipment. Avoid short or retractable leads as they encourage pulling.
🐾 Step 5: Bring lots of tasty treats to reward calm walking.
🌳 Step 6: Visit places where your puppy can safely go off-lead. A pup always kept on a lead is like a jack-in-the-box ready to spring! Dog fields are a great place to start.

Training takes time, but these changes can make a big difference. Happy walking! 🐕💛

Sam can be OTT around other dogs, but he has raging hormones impacting him because he's an adolescent and very excitable. His family was told he is anxious and reactive and to stop using treats in his training 😔 Luckily, they sought a 2nd opinion, and as you can see, with the right lead skills, understanding, and location (for his family to practice), Sam is a complete star 🌟 Dogs, just like us need support and time to learn what is appropriate behaviour. 🩵 #harlowdogtrainer #harlowdogbehaviourist #sighthoundsofinstagram #ethicaldogtraining

Super proud of these dogs learning to be home alone 🥰 #separationanxietydog

At our puppy school we dedicate a week to puppy play and socialisation. Choosing the right friends for your puppy is so important, 1st learnings can last a lifetime! Therefore, positive experiences are so important 🐾🐾🥰 We have a new class starting in 2 weeks time at Harlow Garden Centre 🩵🧡🩷

This week was all about appropriate socialisation. Greeting on-lead dogs can often result in tangled leads and leads getting caught around limbs. Taking time to teach pups that when they are on lead they get to say a quick hello avoids the chaos! #puppytraining

Our Story

Nosey Barker Ltd was founded by Kim Kaye who has worked with dogs for over 10 years. Kim along with her husband Ryan are passionate about delivering friendly, fun and successful training.

At Nosey Barker we understand that not all families want to compete at Crufts in showing, agility or obedience, but we also know that families do want a well-mannered dog that they can enjoy spending time with. For over 10 years Kim has worked with dogs and in this time she has learnt that building a strong bond between a family and a dog is key to a successful relationship. It is this knowledge, experience and training that forms a golden thread throughout the school and has become the Nosey way.

We are proud to use reward-based methods to train every dog, but this doesn’t always mean using food or treats. Just like with humans there can be a variety of rewards that can encourage a repeat behaviour, perhaps shoes, holidays, money, a hug or praise. This scientific approach has been proven as effective and far less likely to lead to any behavioural problems.

Our group classes are mainly taught at our outdoor location where the dogs are able to get used to all the normal distractions they would encounter when out on a walk with you. We call this real-life training, we coach you to be able to connect with your dog and ask for appropriate behaviour when out and about in your community. One of the reasons our success rate is so high is because we offer small group classes; puppies and beginners have a maximum of 6 dogs and all other classes a maximum of 8. This means everyone has some individual time with our qualified trainers and are able to ask questions specific to their dog and their life.
