Apologies everyone, new email isn't working properly, I am getting all of your messages but you obviously aren't getting my replies, apparently I can't sort anything out until Monday now, it'd probably be easier to message me on here or call me

Ok so we had these three in this weekend, from 12 weeks old & just starting their journey, to a revisit (we always love it when fluffpups come back to see us) for some greeting & environmental exercises, to a little behaviour adjustment training etc, all now well on their way to practice what they've learnt along with their owners, happy days!

Another selection of recent fluffpups in for various reasons from reactivity to people & dogs, owners requiring a little hand with various aspects of handling, desensitisation & restraint techniques, enabling & marking good choices to basic obedience & a little counter condtioning! All on the right track now 😁

I recently had the pleasure of employing the service of A1 Dog Training, and I can confidently say that it was an exceptional experience. Andy's skill and professionalism truly set him apart from any other dog trainer I've encountered.

I had previosuly used two other dog training's in the Leeds and Wakefield area but Andy's 30 years of professional dog handling and training experience truly put him head and shoulders above the rest. His wealth of knowledge and expertise is immediately apparent, and it's clear that he is deeply passionate about what he does.

Andy's approach to dog training is both effective and compassionate. He not only understood my dog's unique needs but also tailored a training program specifically for us. His patience and commitment to our success were truly commendable. Under his guidance, I witnessed remarkable improvements in my dog's behavior, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

A1 Dog Training's dedication to helping dogs and their owners is unmatched. Andy's ability to communicate, educate, and support throughout the training process made it a rewarding experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend A1 Dog Training to anyone in need of professional and highly skilled dog training. If you're looking for a trainer who goes above and beyond, Andy is the one to trust with your beloved pet

Another selection of little beauties with varying situations, from rescue dogs with a few territorial issues to those being reactive to other dogs & people to simple basic obedience, & it's not often I do home visits unless it's for specific reasons but we even had one of those this week, all going the right way now, happy days! 😁

Lots of dogs in recently, but this handsome fella was brilliant today, he's been training elsewhere & the owner came to us because the only way she could manage him was on a French or dominance collar, those of you that know me will know that I really don't like them, his overall control & obedience wasn't too bad we just needed to condition a few alternatives to set him on the right track to change some of his behaviour & understanding & glad to say he's well on his way, Happy days!

There's nothing better than unsolicited independent & individual experience as a recommendation, one of the owners of one of the pups we featured recently went to visit their chosen veterinary practice & as you can see, below is a message from that client from two of the ladies who work there & who have also been to us for some pointers on training etc, they have since visiting us refered a few of their clients to us that have had issues ranging from reactivity & anxiety to general obedience & all that goes with being a good dog owner, thank you to all concerned your support is very much appreciated.

Morning Andy, bears just had his first vet check up at Westwood vets.
Vet says he's doing amazingly. She did a very thorough check.
The ladies there couldn't stop praising you when I told them I've started coming to you. The lady on the desk said she brought her mali to you about 6 years ago and her daughter does the dog agility and the vet nurse brought her German shepherd to you. Both big fans lol

More Fluffpup puppy work this week with these two cuties. Starting their journey A1 style, happy days!

Ralph showing off his new found loose lead skills 😁 Hey Andy. Seen the biggest difference in Ralph since our training session. His recall is perfect and walks lovely on his lead. Just want to thank you again. 😄

Some snippets of our 5 year old granddaughter messing about with our patrol dogs, she says she wants to be a dog trainer...

So today's session was a bit of a mixed bag, the beginnings of tracking, there were two articles (metal bottle tops) the point of this exercise initially was to determine where Luna was at with her tracking, two poles were put out one being a decoy, we simply wanted to see if she could pick up the scent / track by just walking past, no cues, nothing from the handler, just her finding a track, finding the bottle tops that were covered over & a clear indication, yes there were a few mistakes but it's a starting point, the send away to a designated point has begun, & then a bit of fun on some of the agility equipment to let off some steam 😁

So today's CT session was about the detection of an unauthorised person & then conditioning the response, no challenges, no cues or commands, simply letting the dog use its nose to either track, or air/ wind scent or any combination to determine the persons whereabouts & respond accordingly to deter the intruder, the hides became harder & so on, the only time the handler could communicate with the dog was to mark the required behaviour & to praise their dog for responding 😁

So today we had a trainee GP dog (Luna) do some article searching, the articles were as shown, a mobile phone & a metal bottle top, they were placed in a very over grown search square with traffic cones, mop bucket & other stuff in there, the bottle top was then placed a good distance in an open field & covered, & then in a field shelter with a decoy scuffed area & separate article, over some obstacle planks & behind a corrugated sheet to add another degree of difficulty to the exercise, not bad for a beginner 😁

This is the young dog featured in a previous post, level, calm, & controlled

I love days like today, a snippet of this little fella, he had his 3rd session today, he was so reactive to traffic that he would not walk past it or by it without snapping snarling, lunging or trying to chase after the vehicles in question, just would not walk while traffic was around, to the point where he would not focus on anything else 3 sessions in 2 weeks & some cracking work put in by the owner & we have some progress! We've also done quite a lot of obedience, he now recalls, walks on a loose lead, sits, downs, stays, leaves when told, & is starting his positional work, after this snippet we moved to some BAT work on a line allowing him to make his own choices etc, he now engages & focuses more & is generally a happier little soldier Happy days!
