One my lovely students.
This is Nelly an energetic Labradoodle with a serious ability to run and also chase. Recall is a work in progress, xondersing the amount of wildlife around her home.

She wants to love everyone and grew up fast. She can be hard to handle around other dogs, but she is learning to control herself better through training and guidance.

When she first came to Tyne Green, she was totally over whelmed, but she is a lot more relaxed now and manages it much better.

Like many of my clients, she lives in a rural situation, which means she might see the same people as regular but not lots of different people, children, and bikes. So park is a good place to learn all these.

Super smiley girl now.

Taking a break.

Having break in my line of work is so important.
Some may see me as just a dog trainer but it's much more than that. I can be a psychologist, therapist, confidant, cheer leader, back up plan, the strong arm to give yours a break.

I give as much of me as I can, to my clients and their dogs to help them to succeed at their goals to have a care free walk in the park or sometimes just simply have a win day with their dog.
It can be hard when you live with an animal to see the bigger picture of what's happening, and you need a spotter to help guide you and really see what's happening.

So I'm having a little reset and rest my brain and body (currently bruise free). Ready to help more people with their dogs when I get back.
It also helps me to be more present for my dogs, who are mostly angels but needy all the same.

May is already filling up. So before you find your in too deep. Reach out to get booked in ! (Ideally, next week when I'm home)

But today, its beach day!

In case your wondering, the girls are lucky enough to stay at home while we are away. Our lovely friends come and stay with them and they get to sun bath all day too. Win win.
*reminder if you are sending your dog to boarding, make sure they are licensed and you see where they are going. Especially after the awful recent news.

Secret is, if you dog can enjoy lead work, it all get so much better.
Think less about the lead and more about the position - just like dancing with dogs!

I get lots of comments about Moona's lead work. It is awesome when she is on form.
Here is some of the ways i have created it. We also do this when i know she is uncomfortable as she enjoys it.

How Gorgeous is Star?

Star is a Sheltie, and she is super smart. She is definitely one of my best teenage trainees at the moment, but her recall needs some work.
Birds are one of her favourite things to chase, so my friend the crow at the park helped us out today.
Star and her owner learnt more about turning away from her from her trigger (the things that make her excited) and looking back to her owner.
We learnt about the way we reward depending on what we are getting rewarded for.
If we throw a reward for turning away from something we wanted to chase, we can help the dog with the right way to outlet their energy.
We can control chases and build anticipation as a tool to help recall.

Such a sweet dog to work with. She has come a long way after being a bit worried as a pup.

What a gorgeous dog!
Gus is a big but sweet boy. His owner got in touch as he can be a bit of a handful on a lead. Turns out he finds traffic really hard, and it makes him really nervous. Which results in him throwing himself at the end of the lead.

So today, we got him fully away from traffic to build some skills of what to do when seeing a person or a dog. We are starting some good walking by my side training, and he could manage this today even when there were dogs in sight.
He's a dog that needs a job, and that job can be walking his best walk and holding himself well.

In the meantime, we have simple training to help him with traffic in the distance.

Im really taken by this lad 😍

** side note he is wearing a halti on his nose. I only endorse this when the dogs are big and can move their owners. They need to be trained in too.

Dog buggy, anyone? I'm putting this back up for sale as Toryn is ok and too big for it now. I think it can connect to a bike.
It's a good one, all wheels can pop off to collaspe and pack in the car. It has a foot break, too. £60

6 month old pup free in the park.
Now she isn't always bolting for dogs straight away. (Always had a good recall)
There was a couple of the run forwards where she turned herself.
Then, we could engage in a walk with me to change the pattern of her behaviour.
She can do off lead heel past dog at a round 4 metre distance at the moment. I'm super pleased with her. She is an incredible learner.
Go Toryn!

How cute is Maise?

This sweet little girl was just 4 months old when she came to see me for some slightly excessive barking and some worries about the big wide world.
Her owners were super clued up. They knew their stuff! But as their first dog together, Maisie wasn't making it an easy process.

Mini Schnauzers like to chat on the best of days, but Maisie was barking at everything.
So we did some tweaks to the timing or her rewards.
Made humans aware of their responses to her at certain times. Taught her what we would like to her to do instead. Taught her some impulse control techniques, e.g, helping with - think before you react.

By our 3rd session, i could visibly see a more relaxed dog. She could also do some training in the presents of her old triggers.
Now they have a better understanding and base to work from. Maisie is going to have such an amazing life with lovely committed owners!

Also, it helps that her mum makes some of the best brownies I've had in a bit!!

♡ Lovely Review from Terri

We have had 3 sessions with Jen for our rescue dog Henry. We have saw a huge improvement in Henry’s behaviour and she has really helped teach us how to get Henry’s attention. Henry is a lot more engaging with us on walks now and his pulling has reduced. Jen gave us a lot of useful advice and she really knows how dogs think! Jen sent a lot of helpful videos as well as other tips. I would definitely recommend Jen and will be attending one of her group walks when we can.

"I am SO SORRY ❗ My dog has NEVER reacted like this before"
Can this be responsible for those "Out of the blue" reactions💥
Reactive dogs ✅ Anxious dogs ✅
In fact this can affect EVERY dog.
"Why did he lunge at that skateboarder?"
"She didn't stop barking at that truck !"
There is a video link in the comments to a brand new video specifically on this very issue.

Little Elsa!
A cockerpoo pup
In all honesty, Elsa can jump like no other dog I've met yet. She can get high, too.

Yet another teenager suddenly becoming more tricky to handle by their human. Jumping, pulling on the lead, toilet training, and a little bit of stealing of items in the house were among some of the things we tackled in training.

Most importantly, we worked out Elsa's fear of traffic. This is one of the reasons why the pulling was so bad. We got to work on basic training. Build better communication between dog and owner, especially outside. Understand what to do when the traffic gets busy. Learned to self correct her jumping and do a different behaviour to get our attention. Understood she didn't like peeing on concrete in the yard or being by herself outside. Upping her chances of better toilet breaks in the future.

Of i help directly with the dog but it's also important to find solutions that suit the owner too.
The learner is really the human to then help the dog.
There's not much I've not seen or heard about now in dog behaviour, but Elsas jumping was impressive!

Big shout out to the gorgeous Bowie and his humans.
What a gorgeous but very large boy. At just 9 months, his head is bigger than mine.

Knowing they had a big lad, Bowies humans invested in some long-term training with me to set Bowie up to be the best he can be.
Creating lots of training behaviour now to help him eventually be more free and a dog you can take anywhere. As he can be trusted to make better choices to keep himself and others safe.

Today session was working through his recall to tighen it in the areas he tends to drift. People, dogs, and birds are his favourite things, and it can be hard to recall when the drive to run and go see be hard to resist. Also, living so rurally as he does, he doesn't see much on his regular walk (common with many of my rural clients). Know they know what to do when he sees something of interest and can redirect his eyes to them instead.

Really enjoy working with this dog he's just so loveable.
