No Longer In the Dog House

Welcome to NLDH.
1-2-1 Dog Training & Behaviour with Dawn BSc (Hons) Dog Behaviour & Training. Veterinary Recommended . Over 18 years hands on experience.

Areas covered North Leeds, & Wetherby District. No Longer in the Doghouse owned by Dawn Ash-Bunting BSc ABT. I'm proud to be a positive reward trainer with over 16 years hands on experience with all breeds of dogs. My work also includes working in the veterinary industry with behaviour and puppy training. After graduating with my BSc Degree in Dog Behaviour I continue to learn and gain new knowl

edge never standing still as our greater understanding of the dog world unfolds with new scientific research of our best friend. My ethos with every case is to look at the whole picture not just the behaviour and always using positive reward techniques to ensure a happy learning journey for the whole family. Together we will look at how your dog learns and how you can communicate with each other in a kind and effective way, making sure your dog's core needs are met such as enough sleep and using enrichment with nose and mind activities. I will provide you with new skills and knowledge which will ensure your dog is no longer in the dog house!

I cover North Leeds (Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Adel, Meanwood) and Wetherby District (Collingham, Boston Spa) for 1-2-1 training with classes at Kirk Deighton near Wetherby. However, I do have clients in other areas - please contact me for more information. Dawn & Dexter

Adventures with Dexter

Hattie is doing really well in her 1-2-1 training walks.

Her long line is only used now around people having picnics as food is too tempting around an Dachshund 🤣

We have worked on while she has been coming on our walks:

✅ Loose lead walking
✅ Barking at traffic
✅ Worried around big dogs.
✅ Recall

She also has a soft spot for her favourite spaniel.

01/07/2024

We had a great NLDH Lifeskill’s on the go at Roundhay Park on Friday.

Open to anyone that has trained with NLDH before.

Roundhay Park is the ultimate distraction ground with a splash of fun along the way.

Yogi and Charlie our teens learning about appropriate play and also mums are also on the walk with them with all that distraction and smells!!

Of course Bea was on hand to keep the boys in check.

Well done everyone 👏

29/06/2024

🎓NLDH Essential Life skills and Good Citizen Puppy Graduates.🎓

25/06/2024

We will soon be on our holidays and this means a recharge of energy.

Although Dexter doesn’t need much recharging but I’am sure he will enjoy mine 😄

This also means my 1-2-1 diary is full until August for new clients so I can support you properly.

Enjoy the ☀️ today

As the temperatures rise this week, please be careful about the potential for heat stroke (hyperthermia) in your dogs.

Heat stroke is a life threatening condition caused by a sudden rise in body temperature. It is usually caused by dogs being exercise on a hot day, being left in a car or in a conservatory. In certain breeds, like bulldogs, heat stroke can happen just from a dog being out in the garden, not even being exercised.

As heat stroke can be fatal, seeking emergency treatment is vital to increase your dog’s chance of survival.

Early signs to watch for are:
🐶 restlessness and distress
🐶 rapid breathing
🐶 drooling

As the condition worsens you may notice:
🐶 vomiting
🐶 unsteadiness on their feet and poor coordination
🐶 overheating (skin hot to touch)
🐶 blue-purple (cyanotic) or brick red gums
🐶 panting heavily
🐶 racing heart
🐶 seizures
🐶 collapse
🐶 unconsciousness

If your dog is showing any signs of heat stroke, set off to your vets or emergency out of hours clinic (ideally in an air conditioned car) and ring them to let them know you are on your way.

Call us on 📞 01423 228080

24/06/2024

The next couple of days is going to be a hot one.

Be sensible with your dogs.

Some top tips for avoiding heat stroke in your dogs this summer. As you can see, Goose loves to cool off in the river!

A warm welcome to Izzy

I’ve been helping her dads with:

✅ Routine.
✅ Toilet Training gone backwards.
✅ Home Alone
✅ Sleeping independently.

One step at a time for this little girl and then we focus on recall.

We can feel we have it all sorted with our puppies and then 6months hits and it all goes out the window.

Izzy’s parents was proactive by asking for help and support before her behaviours bigger. Especially home alone.

I can report her toileting in the home has gone, she is also happier sleeping in the living room in her nap times.

Baby steps of success 👏👏

Great post

Something everyone should know👇

We should always avoid putting dogs in uncomfortable situations. Regardless of whether they're muzzled or not.

Just because a muzzle negates the risk to others, doesn’t mean that it changes the way our dogs FEEL!

It’s so important to treat your dog as you would if there was still a high risk of injury to another being because in doing so you will be more likely to keep your dog out of situations you know they’re unlikely to be able to cope with.

👉 Your dog will still be uncomfortable with dogs even if they're muzzled.

👉 With a muzzle on, your dog will still be uncomfortable at the vet.

👉 If your dog was so fearful they tried to bite your neighbour before, they still might try with a muzzle on.

A muzzle is a MANAGEMENT TOOL that keeps dogs and others safe, but a muzzle alone doesn’t create emotional change. 💕

Putting on a muzzle doesn't mean we can throw everything at our dogs that we couldn't before, just because the risk to others is lower. We help our dogs grow in confidence and feel safe, not them. We do it with good management, great, ethical training, and considering whether our dogs will enjoy our situations.

Let me know if you agree! 💗

So a first for NLDH today…

I was invited to run a ‘All About Dog’s’ assembly today for key stage two.

With the help of Alma & Mazuk, Ruth & Costa and Rex the stuffed dog.

I’ve never been more nervous in my life talking about my comfort zone - dogs!

I have to say we actually smashed it👏👏

The kids loved it and asked lots of questions about dogs.

They even answered the questions from their teachers on how to say hello to dogs and when not to say hello to dogs.

Proud trainer moment.

10/06/2024

We had the best weekend.

Can’t believe It’s back to work time!

08/06/2024

This week we focused on

✅ Sit stays ready for emergency stops later.
✅ Meet and greet with ‘Rex’ and how to greet unknown dogs on a lead.
✅ Settle on our mats ready for the pub/cafe.

Teens are smashing their Good Citizens Bronze Levels. It’s hard to concentrate with all those hormones flying around.

Well done everyone 👏👏

It’s lovely to see Dexter have a friend who understands him also. 🐶

Meet Kai 😍 He started his 1-2-1 Puppy Training this week focusing on not jumping up and we chatted about the importance of sleep. He has also been enjoying chasing the cat which mum was onto straight away. ✅ How to make both was safe and have their own areas. ✅ The cat was not distressed. ✅ More importantly Kai was not practising his chase techniques. I’am sure they will be the best of friends as Kai grows up and it’s essential we get it right from the start. NLDH 1-2-1 Puppy Training focuses on individual training & support areas for your home plus the important life skills to help you and your puppy. Well done Kai 👏 #puppytraining #dogtrainer #dogsarefamily #germanshepherdpuppy

Stanley loves his tennis ball so we added a little ‘Gundog’ into his walks to make them more fun and also kinder on his joints with him learning steadiness and self control. Well done Stanley 🙌 Have a good weekend

Happy dogs on their training walk at Roundhay Park 🐾

Back on Tuesday Have a good Coronation Weekend

Tonight is back to school after our summer break and we are ready! Time to connect with our friends and help each other with our dogs everyday life-skills and become a good citizen 🐶🐾. See you all later 😁 *Contact us in bio to join us on the next term after your 1-2-1 which will help you and your dog find the best learning environment for you* #backtodogschool #dogtraining #wetherby #dogtrainer #bestjobintheworld

Need help with your dog’s training? Join Basil in super charging your recalls, walking on a loose lead around other dogs and people PLUS weekly help on behaviours at home that you need that extra help with. Tuesday Mornings at Kirk Deighton Hall starting again September for Juniors (4-6month), teens and adults. Book a pre class chat 🐾🐶

It’s amazing what little games we can play on our walks. This little one has been learning to love her walks again as they got a bit scary. Simple food search game she watches you set up not a free forage around the park. It’s amazing what people leave behind in the park which can be dangerous for our dogs to eat. Happier walk all around for mum and pooch. #happydogs #happydogwalks #dogsofinstagram #dogtrainer #chapelallertonpark

We had the best time @hopewelldogpark in their new Woodland And Meadow area at the weekend. Plenty of shade and lots of areas to explore - highly recommended and we will be back for a visit soon 🐾#happydogs

Just like that we have a fun retrieve on our walks. The pole is to help you locate the retrieve and build distance by moving away from the pole. The mat is to help you see it better in the grass and get your recall timing. Help the human & we help the dog with a clearer task. Great fun and better than throwing a ball. #positivedogtraining #pointeroftheday #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining

Meet Nelson our Honorary Gundog- retrieving her dads croc! We put our skills to the test in last night at NLDH Fun Gundog classes. It takes time to build up foundations of a proper Gundog retrieve and last night we dipped our 🐾 into it. It’s been a while since I used my experience of training in the Working Gundog World and shooting (8 years with Castleman Gundogs) and it was great to bring back the skills for the class. Well done team 👏👏🐶 #positivereinforcementtraining#havingfunwithyourdog #dogtrainer #ridgebacksofinstagram

It’s amazing when it all comes together 🙌👏🐾. Baby steps of success and remembering to connect with your dog on your walks. Great team work #proudtrainermoment #goteamdogs #positivereinforcement #happydogs #dogsofinstagram #spaniellove

1-2-1 training walks practising recalls away from other dogs on your walk - easy peasy for this little chap! Look how pleased he is with himself for coming back when his mum called. Well done team 🙌🐾🥰 #positiverewardtraining #happywalks🐾 #dogtraining #wetherbydogs #dogtrainerlife

Lovely day at work today with the sun shining 😁🐾🥰 #dogtrainer #bestjobintheworld #happydogs

Yogi smashing his loose lead walking 🙌. Baby steps of success can be achieved just outside your home and build on your success. Don’t rush it take your time. Take a trip out to a dog paddock (I can recommend some fab ones) or to your local walk to have some off lead fun on a separate walk while u are both training for your loose lead walking. I would love to say it happens by magic but our dogs find lead walking very boring! Contact @nolonger_doghouse on how to make your walks more fun. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogwalking #dogsofinstagram #dogsarefamily

Your puppy’s first walk can be both exciting and scary. By letting your puppy sniff on their walk they are finding out all the interesting information that has happened outside plus keeping their minds calm. We had a scary plane noise also so we turned it into a positive experience through voice, big smile on my face and a cuddle of support. Willow totally smashed her first walk and mum was super proud also. Need help and support with your puppy? #puppylove #puppytraining #postiverewardbasedtraining #cockerpoopuppy #dogsofinstagram #bestjobintheworld

Happy Monday! Ruby has been working very hard on her recall with mum.

My post from my Online Group - remember you can join us as a member of the NLDH family - drop me a pm. 4.30pm is Poppy Time! We seem to hit this time in our day and Poppy is ready to do something with her mind. I’am sure your dogs will have different times when they need to be doing something other than chilling and our walks. I’am definitely getting into more of a routine with her now and it’s important for both of us right now including switch off time later tonight. Today I decided to introduce to Poppy an old favorite of mine that you can do anywhere - the towel search! The first video is about getting Poppy to just sniff the towel and begin investigating it off her own back - I can help with adding extra biscuits and lifting the towel but its good for her to investigate this herself. With Puppies/seniors help them out more to begin with. With a better idea of sniffing the towel brings success of biscuits I can continue to make it harder and have the towel messy or i can look at another method or rolling the towel. Video 2 is more method of rolling the towel releases the biscuits quicker so it depends if you can handle a messy towel and how hard your dog is willing to work for that treat. Tip - remember how many treats are in the towel & learn to watch your dogs body language with less voice from you. Have fun and film it if you want to x

Ive been in the garden this morning to take in some fresh air, birds singing and sun. Take time out from the world and do the same with your dogs. I may not have Indy but I will be going on a happy walk today. Keep in touch guys x
