Incredible artist.... RIP PD Dixon

In memory of K9 Officer Dixon
A painting I was recently commissioned to do of this beautiful boy, who sadly is no longer with us.
It was an honour to paint him. May he continue to fight crime in the skies ♥️

Please message me regarding commission information. Here’s my inbox link:

Just recently ive not been posting much as ive been so busy with work and training, but it has again been noticed the large amount of calls im getting about dogs from 14 months to 2yo (mostly male bull breeds) with dominate behaviour/dog aggression / reactivity to other dog's/ lundging and pulling on the lead etc. Etc. This is mostly due to unsuitable homes and pure lack of training them as pup's and just not bothering to put in the foundation's to produce a well mannered level headed pet that knows and understands the word No !....it is not the breeding it is people having dogs without researching and breeders selling to unsuitable pet homes.

excuses i hear are ;

they never did this or that before (when they were a 4 month old baby they still needed securiry of owner)

But the parents are well behaved (brought up with a suitable knowledgeable handler that trained it )
Is there not just a different collar i can use (dont get a dog if your not prepered to put in the training)

Or my favorite . ..
But he is only wanting to say hello or play!

NO
NO HE IS NOT WANT TO BLOODY PLAY HE WANTS TO KILL!
Please if you know anyone with a new puppy or young dog please tell them to put in some training now and not wait untill there is a problem that then needs to be corrected.
Prevention is better than cure and reward based training is the key to happy pets and pet owners.
Also if you know anyone thinking of buying a pup please ask them to reasearch the breed as not every breed is going to suit every pet home.
Thanks all for reading xx
