Meet my dogs 🐶

From left to right we have Santo, Malice, Hope & Mika

Santo & Hope are brother and sister, Mika is their Mother.

Malice’s grandad is Hope & Santo’s Dad.

Last year I was in a very different situation to where I am now, and I thought it would be a good idea to add another 3 working dogs to my life, the Doberman came first.

I sometimes regret my impulsive decisions as it makes life HARD 😭😂

However, I couldn’t imagine life without them and the things that I have learned raising and training these dogs, is invaluable experience that you could never ever get from any course, book or degree.

So when people ask me what my qualifications are, I just show them my dogs 🥹🙃

Today I made a trip to London to visit Tocho, the Shiba Inu.

Tocho is a complex little fellow, as Shiba’s usually are. As a puppy he displayed some very small signs of aggression, which his owner took very seriously and since then has worked hard on his obedience and confidence around people.

In the Summer 2023, Tocho became really unwell, vomiting & diarrhoea, sometimes vomiting blood too, that lasted for around 6 weeks. After many vet trips, tests & injections she never got to the bottom of it.

Tocho has now recovered physically, but the whole ordeal was so traumatic for him it has had a huge effect on him mentally.

Tocho is so fearful of going outside now, he will bite if you attempt to even put his lead on!

We ended the session with some freeshaping, rewarding Tocho for choosing to engage with his lead and letting him choose the distance between him and the lead, ending the session with him nice and relaxed right in front of his lead.

Very interested to see how Tocho progresses with this concept, stay tuned for future updates!

Beau has joined us for residential training to cover all her basic obedience.

Beau has already completed 2 months of residential training elsewhere, however the level of training she received left a lot of holes in places and her obedience has started falling apart and is very unreliable.

We are starting at square 1 and that is with motivation. Without a motive, we have no reward and without a reward we cannot teach.

Beau already knows a lot of commands but there probably wasn’t a lot of motivation in the learning phase, only pressure.

Beau has been with us for a week now and only today she felt comfortable enough to play with me. Hand feeding is progressing ever so slowly and she will quite often turn her nose up at any food i have on offer. She’s very much a one handler type dog and it’s taking a little longer for her to trust me but once we have that, it will be plain sailing.

‼️URGENT ‼️

Unfortunately Rusty is back with us through no fault of his own and needs to be rehomed by the end of this week.

I was due to move house this week but I was let down at the last minute and now I have been left homeless until a suitable property comes up.

I will be staying with a friend and as it stands Rusty will have to live in my van as there is no space for him there.

He MUST go to an experienced dog handler. Brilliant working dog. Would be most suited as a security/yard dog.

Can drop off to anywhere in the UK.

Temporary home for him until I find a house would also be appreciated!!

If everyone could please share this post far and wide, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Name: Peggy
Breed: Coonhound
Age: 1y8m

Peggy is here to brush up on her basic obedience and social skills.

Peggy has a good level of obedience and her recall is pretty good, however her high prey drive gets the better of her sometimes!

Peggy used to go to daycare where she unfortunately picked up some bad habits when it came to socialising with dogs, shes very friendly but can be a bit overwhelming when greeting some dogs. She also has some fear reactivity towards shepherd/husky looking dogs.

I’ve been really looking forward to working with Peggy, as she is a breed I’ve never met before and the challenges it may bring!

Name: Lola
Age: 9M
Breed: Mastiff Cross

Lola is here for 4 weeks to address some pretty intense reactivity/leash frustration.

Lola is a rescue dog so we don’t know much about her past experiences with other dogs. However the ones we do know about haven’t always gone that well.

Lola’s reactivity comes from insecurity and fear, and she is not afraid to use her teeth to scare dogs away.

Lola has been with us a week and a half now and already achieved so much! She’s been on several pack walks, she’s much more comfortable around dogs and we’ve already started working on some obedience!

Nala is back!

Nala had to go home from her residential training early because she came into season, but she’s back now and much more eager to work!

Over the last couple weeks we’ve been working on building drive as Nala can be quite the couch potato.

Her play drive is through the roof, which is great ,but her food drive is still a work in progress!

Nala will also be undergoing an assessment this week to see if she is suitable to start bitework training, fingers crossed she has what it takes!

Raja Update!

I had a follow up session with Raja a few days ago, he has been home over a week now. His owner has been keeping up with his training and it was lovely to see how confident she is handling him now.

He goes on off leash walks daily, he is getting the mental stimulation he desperately needed through training and play and his reactivity is non existent!

I absolutely loved working with Raja and I can’t wait to see him on his adventures in the future! 🥰

⭐️ 5 Star Review ⭐️

“We couldn’t recommend the team at EVOAK K9 Training enough!

Started working with Dalia a few months back in 1-2-1 sessions to help with Mila’s play skills and leash walking. As time went on Mila was growing more wary of people (breed trait) and started presenting reactive behaviours so we decided to go for residential training. To say the results Dalia achieved in 2 weeks is life changing is an understatement!!!

Mila now has full off leash freedom and is trusted to make the right decisions when in situations that previously resulted in a reaction. Before the residential training we would limit the environments we would go and be selective on where we walk so we could avoid anything that made Mila uncomfortable. Now we can go anywhere knowing that both Mila and ourselves are enjoying it!

We are going to continue working with EVOAK to develop Mila’s training even more and there is no one I would trust more to look after her.”

Becca & Mila

Obedience with my own dog MIKA. This was taken a while ago, we’ve improved so much since then ! A more recent video will be coming very soon

Muzzle conditioning using free shaping

I will be using free shaping to condition Mika to the muzzle, she’s never worn a muzzle and we’ve only tried free shaping once, so this was completely new to her. The whole session was about 15 minutes, by the end of it I was able to move around and she kept her nose pushed into it! I haven’t really done much free shaping but will definitely be doing it more often, really happy with this session. 🥳
