🐾 After nearly three decades of training dogs and their human companions, I’ve accumulated quite a treasure trove of amusing insights and unforgettable experiences:

1. **Canine Educators**: Dogs have proven themselves to be some of the best instructors out there. They impart invaluable lessons in patience, loyalty, and the art of distraction. Despite my endless attempts to teach them the command “sit,” there are always a few who seem to have a permanent case of selective hearing.

2. **The Human Element**: Throughout my journey, I’ve encountered an eclectic mix of individuals. Some folks believe they can easily outsmart their furry friends, while others genuinely think their dogs possess a deep understanding of Shakespearean literature. The reality? While dogs may not grasp the nuances of “To be or not to be,” they certainly understand the magic word “treat!”

3. **The Most Entertaining Training Sessions**: The training sessions that truly stand out are the ones where the dog is actually focused—until a squirrel dashes by, and suddenly, all bets are off!

4. **Group Classes and Their Charm**: There’s something uniquely bonding about group classes, especially when everyone witnesses their dog make a mad dash for the nearest bush while they frantically shout, “Come back!” It’s a shared experience that fosters camaraderie and plenty of laughter.

5. **Memorable Mishaps**: One of my most unforgettable moments involved a student who decided that a banana would serve as an ideal training reward. Let’s just say that confusion reigned—not just for the dog, but for everyone involved!

So here’s a heartfelt toast to the dogs who have taught us profound lessons about love and fidelity, and to the delightful humans who have kept me chuckling along the way! 🐶❤️

🎆🐾 **Attention Dog Owners!** 🐾🎆

As Bonfire Night approaches, many dogs may become anxious or scared of fireworks. But don’t worry – you can help your furry friends feel more comfortable!

Here’s a simple and effective tip: Use your home Alexa to play firework noises! 🎶

Start by setting the volume low and gradually increase it over the month. This will help desensitise your dog to the sound of fireworks.

🔊 **Here’s how to do it:**
1. Start with the volume at a very low level.

2. Play the firework noises at various points throughout the day and evening.

3. Incorporate it into your dog's meal times for a positive association!

The key is to begin this process NOW, before the big night, to ensure your dog feels more secure when the fireworks start.

Let’s make this Bonfire Night a little less stressful for our pups! 🐶❤️ Share your experiences or any tips you have below!

*Apollo has been taken to a Foster and to prevent this happening again we ask anyone able to REHOME please message Dobermann rescue Ireland & Uk if you'd be able to help this pup to avoid this predicament again. We are northern ireland*

Well unfortunately due to lack of interest looks like our gorgeous boy apollo is heading back to Ireland kennels for god knows how long 😭
All the work and effort and training and rehabilitation put in just to be dumped back in kennels to have it all thrown away.
If nobody wants the good version of him who'd going to want the wrecked version after months isolated in kennels?
His chances aren't great.
If you or anyone you know can emergency foster/ rehome this boy please get in touch ASAP.
He can't be around other pets or small children.
He's an absolute dote and just lives to please his humans.

Are you prepared to provide your rescue dog with the life they truly deserve?

Whether you’ve recently welcomed a four-legged companion into your home or are contemplating adopting one, proper training is crucial for fostering a joyful and fulfilling bond.

Here are some essential training tips to set you and your rescue dog on the right path:

1. **Create a Structured Routine**: Dogs flourish in environments where they know what to expect. Establish a consistent daily schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to help your new friend feel secure and settled.

2. **Embrace Positive Reinforcement**: Utilise treats, affection, and verbal praise to reward your dog for good behaviour. This approach not only encourages them to repeat those positive actions but also strengthens the trust and connection between you.

3. **Master Basic Commands**: Begin with fundamental commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” These basic skills are vital for promoting good behavior and ensuring your dog’s safety in various situations.

4. **Prioritise Socialisation**: Gradually expose your dog to new people, different environments, and other pets. This exposure can significantly reduce anxiety and help build their confidence in unfamiliar settings.

5. **Patience is Essential**: Keep in mind that your rescue dog may come with a history that influences their behavior. Approach training with compassion and understanding, and remember to celebrate even the smallest achievements along the way!

If you’re interested in personalised training programs or need guidance for your rescue dog, we’re here to assist you!

Don’t hesitate to reach out for more information, and together, we can ensure that your furry friend flourishes in their new forever home. 🐶❤️

🐾❤️ **Understanding Reactive Dog Owners: A Heartfelt Message** ❤️🐾

As a proud dog owner and trainer, I want to shed light on a topic that often goes unnoticed in our community: the struggles of those who care for reactive dogs.

For many of us, our k9 companions are more than just pets; they are family.

However, owning a reactive dog can come with its own unique set of challenges that can be emotionally taxing.

Reactive dogs often respond to certain stimuli—like other dogs, loud noises, or unfamiliar people—with anxiety or aggression.

This behaviour can be a source of immense strain for their owners. Who often find themselves in a constant state of vigilance, worrying about potential triggers and how their dogs will react in various situations.

The fear of judgment from others can weigh heavily on their hearts.

Every walk can feel like an uphill battle, navigating a world that may not understand what these dogs are going through.

The emotional toll can lead to feelings of isolation and anxiety. They might second-guess training methods, question our decisions, and feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of ensuring that their pet feels safe and comfortable.

But amidst these challenges, it’s crucial to remember that they are not alone.

There are communities out there filled with understanding and support. Whether through local training classes, online forums, or social media groups, connecting with fellow reactive dog owners can offer a sense of camaraderie and shared experience.

To all the reactive dog owners out there: your feelings are valid.

It’s okay to acknowledge the difficulties you face. Celebrate the small victories and remember that progress takes time. Your love and dedication to your friend are admirable, and together, we can work towards creating a more understanding and inclusive world for our beloved pets.

Let’s continue to support each other and educate those around us about the realities of living with reactive dogs. Together, we can break down barriers and foster empathy in our communities. 💖🐕
