Kimiko three years ago on the left, and now. It’s lovely to see old clients. I was there to work with her new rescue sibling who has some territorial issues to work on 💕

Quite possibly one of the sweetest dog I’ve ever known.

Boundary training is one of the best things I can teach you that will help in a variety of situations. It helps reduce counter surfing, reactivity and separation anxiety, it teaches your dog impulse control which will help with recall training and most importantly teaches puppies when to rest to stop them becoming overtired and over aroused. Tommy here didn’t like his crate when we began but as you can see, with a little desensitisation and boundary training, he is quite happy staying put and relaxing in it with the doors open.

Whiskey the kangaroo enjoyed today’s heel work and managed to keep four paws on the floor for 90% of the session 👏

There’s a reason it’s called dog trainING. It’s an ongoing process. It’s not exactly a course we go through with our dogs and that’s it, done for life.

Even as a dog trainer and most professions, you continue your learning and education to keep progressing, gaining confidence in your skills and keep you on top form.

How many of us have forgotten the languages we learnt at school? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I haven’t used French or German since my school days so I can only really remember a few words. If we don’t keep training and practicing with our dogs those neuro-pathways won’t be strong enough to use the skills when we really need them.

Sometimes our dogs need a little refresher on the basics. Just the other week my baby dog Daiquiri needed to go back on the long line and have some reminders on her recall.

Our dogs enjoy training and the opportunity for reinforcement. We did breed them to do jobs after all!

Training is also a great way of mentally enriching our dogs and strengthening our bond with them. My goal is to train with my dogs every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes whilst I wait for the kettle to boil whilst making a cuppa tea, or incorporated into our walks and daily life.

Training is an ever evolving process, so enjoy the journey and make it a fun time for you and your dog!

What are you going to do with your dog over the weekend?

Ted is getting a little too chunky for his frisbee, I think we both need a health kick now after a year locked down 💪

We loved working with Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin on this infographic. Why do you use a muzzle?
