Impulse control to the extreme.

Both dogs here Rooke and Amon have been bred for generations to carry out security work. To bite people as part of their jobs. To them this is the equivalent of us hitting a line of he**in they live and breath for it.

However without control this is a liability and one that modern day society can not afford. Impulse control training in all dogs is fundamentally important to allow all dogs to function safely within our society. Without it accidents will happen.

Thanks for the videos, knew you were useful for something.

Morning everyone, new booking system will be going live soon where all bookings can be made online. This will be the way to book sessions in going forward as (happily) due to the sheer volume of bookings I’m getting it’s become an admin nightmare!

If only I could be as good a PA as a dog trainer!

With my hand on my heart, I have NEVER turned to ‘the science’ in order to understand how to change the behaviour of a dog or how to train it.

I’ve read a LOT of science for personal interest, but never once - not once - whilst working with a dog have I thought “what would ‘the science’ do?”

Because that’s about as far from the organic, intuitive feel and flow, that can be learned from nothing beyond hands on experience, required to effectively train a dog as you can get.

Anyway, there’s my truth for today.

The picture shows a ‘strange-man-wary’ dog, a nervous dog, who yesterday, on our second time of meeting, approached and put his front paws on my chest as I calmly scratched his.

Not a single ‘scientific protocol’ was followed to get the breakthrough.

Experience did that. Trial and error.

It’s why I’m not impressed in the slightest by the title ‘science based’, neither are most of the best dog people I know.
