I was also recently asked to appear on this show when they were filming in Cornwall over the summer!

I made it clear why I would not take up their offer! Itโ€™s shocking that this man is being portrayed as a dog trainer!

Please do not copy the methods this man uses, he obviously has no idea and they are trying to bring in trainers to show him what to do!!

How has this man got a Tv show!???

My first thought was to delete the email. I'm not a fan of Graeme Hall. I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.

However, I was puzzled. Was the โ€œcravatโ€ unwell, and they needed a stand-in? I'm a nobody โ€“ why on earth would they want to film me training a dog when there are so many high-profile trainers out there? Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give the researcher a call.

I'm still in shock as I write this. The researcher explained that they wanted to invite me to Lytham with my Border Collie to "demonstrate" to Graeme Hall how I would train my dog not to respond to a phone ringtone.

Graeme would then take my training method and use it to teach the Border Collie of the family seeking help โ€“ all while filming it for his TV show!

WTF ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I decided to dig a bit deeper and reached out to the force-free dog training community to see if anyone else had experienced something this bizarre.

It turns out that many trainers had also been asked to attend filming sessions to show Graeme how to train dogs before the cameras rolled. Most reported that they refused because of his methods, but a few had shown him and his team how to train a dog, only to be dismissed without any credit for their expertise.

I then did some open-source research on "The Countryโ€™s Best Dog Trainer," as the *Daily Telegraph* calls him. He has no formal training in canine behaviour or training. Heโ€™s essentially winging it with the help of whatever trainers are willing to show up and assist him.

According to his website, he charges ยฃ875 per session ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ง

Now Iโ€™m not someone who normally criticises other trainers. I prefer to let my clients decide if Iโ€™m the right trainer for them based on how I work with their dogs.

However, I couldnโ€™t let this pass without making it public knowledge.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, please avoid this programme and this man. You have no idea whose techniques heโ€™ll be using week to week, and given that most qualified and accredited trainers want nothing to do with him, the quality of training youโ€™ll receive is questionable at best.

Instead, do your own research and find a local trainer who aligns with your own dog training ethics. Organisations such as The IMDT or APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers can help guide you to qualified & accredited trainers in your area.

Walter met Joey ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅฐ

This was massive for Joey! Not so long ago this would never have happened! Joey would bark at the sight of another dog!

My daughter joined us so that she was handling Joey and I was handling Walter, this gave Joey the space when he wanted and I could make sure that Walter was calm when close.

This was also great for Walter, Walter loves other dogs but can be a little too enthusiastic when meeting some dogs and he does want to play at times, walking together was great practice for him to just be around another dog but not playing or getting too excited. โค๏ธ

There was a few sniffs of each other and Joey communicated when he wanted more space and Walter was fab at reading these signs ๐Ÿค—

Walter thoroughly enjoyed his doggy and human company and was a pleasure as always ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅฐ

Yesterday I spent a little time working on calmness when he sees his brother.

This boy is extremely clever and absolutely loves when I tell him he has made a great choice, he knows something yummy will follow and in these pictures he happily sat looking at his brother and did not chase or try to play with him ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅฐ

Not the best photos but a fab session with Frankie this morning.

This girl really has come on leaps and bounds!!! With the support of her fantastic family and wonderful dog walker Bella Pickering Busy Bee Dog Walking W.Cornwall this girl is now comfortably going on walks with other suitable dogs!

This has been built gradually and at Frankieโ€™s pace.

When I first met her she would bark and lunge when other dogs got close and she found walks stressful at times.

Her confidence is growing every time I see her and I got the most fantastic cuddles this morning ๐Ÿฅฐ

Her recall is improving and today we started some work on helping her to learn that walking with her owner equals great things.

Having the support of a very knowledgeable and experienced dog walker is proving to have such a positive affect on this little lady, her mum is feeling more confident and has so many more tools to communicate with her and support her ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

When I go on a dog walk, I donโ€™t just use it as a chance to allow the dog to go loopy and just run! Yes dogs need exercise and this is important but I also like to mentally exercise them. This morning me and Diz had a wonderful walk, she had some off lead exercise, she did stretch her legs and was allowed to be a dog, but I also used this opportunity to connect with her and play some fun games and practice some skills in a positive way. Doing short little sessions builds relationship, makes the dog feel good and helps her to learn to trust me. This girl has come on so much, I love to interact with her on every walk that we have together ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

This morning was pretty warm โ˜€๏ธ We took a lovely walk around the woods where we could grab some shade. We didnโ€™t march as fast as we could, we took time to stop and allowed the dogs to explore where they wanted to go. Walks do not have to be about covering miles at a really fast pace, just slowing things down really gave the dogs a chance to take in the environment at their pace and this allowed them to just be dogs ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

๐Ÿพ Walking on a loose lead ๐Ÿพ This video shows how wonderful Walter is doing ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅณ I have been taking care of this fab boy since November! Yes it has taken this long to get to this stage!!! Does he walk like this 100% of the walk? The answer is No He will occasionally pull when he smells something interesting or sees something that he wants to investigate. But the answer is we now get this lovely loose lead for the majority of the walk ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰ Walking on a loose lead is not easy for dogs, they naturally walk with a different gait and pattern to us. They are attached to us, this can be hard for them and at times frustrating! They have an amazing nose and the world is an interesting place for them. So being attached to us, who naturally walk slower is extremely hard for dogs. What did I do to help Walter to succeed? โœ… Took my time and understood that this is not easy for him โœ… I use a lead with a decent length, this gives him more distance to be able to sniff and explore ( less tension on the lead ) โœ… Worked on helping him to learn that when he looks at me, good stuff happens ( yummy food gets delivered to his mouth ) ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š โœ… When I deliver the food, I place it where I would like him to hang out ( to the side of me ) โœ… Taught him a marker word ( can communicate to him when he is making great choices ) โœ… Marked and rewarded when the lead is nice and loose โœ… Allowed him to sniff! It is his walk and this is what he enjoys to do ( also slows things down ) This really doesnโ€™t happen over night but I have been consistent and just kept guiding and supporting him, I will continue to reward Walter for the fab choices that he makes. This has all been achieved using kind methods without fear or punishment! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ #looseleadwalking #rewardbasedtraining #kindness #understanding #facebookvideo #imdtdogtrainer #IMDT #chelstails #understandingdogs

Building confidence ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ Week 2 and we spoke about how important it is to help support your puppy when experiencing anything new. Never forcing your puppy to do anything that they may not feel comfortable doing. These 4 pups had a wonderful time being allowed to explore at their own pace and not being forced to do things that may have worried them. I asked owners to try and keep the lead slack and let their puppy go where they felt comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised how well all these pups did, watching their confidence grow over the time that they were exploring, no pressure was put on them and they were allowed to make choices. When puppies are being introduced to new experiences, we need to let them make the choice to move away if they want to, experiences paired with food and without pressure can help these experiences become something positive ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ
