So many would have you believe that with the right treats, time and 'effort' you can achieve reliability with your prey driven dog.
You might be able to interrupt parts of the predatory sequence for sure. But the chase.....
You'll see lots of dogs being called back when the eye and stalk the target. You won't see them being called back in the mid chase which is the most important.
It's not cruel, it's not abusive and it's not lazy. It gives dogs like Rocky the life to be taken to any environment and enjoy it like a dog. Not confined to a life in secure fields or on a 10 metre lead.

Ladies and Gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to introduce Rocky!
Massive thanks to @okanine for fostering this young dog, she does such great work with dogs that land in unsuitable homes for their breed.
Rocky will be my second dog, helping on jobs and being a demo dog.
Future plans to get into sport with him.
For now, I've lots of work getting him up to speed. Unusual to have a better trained Welsh Terrier than a Malinois, but there's always a first for everything 🤣.
Comment below if there's anything you'd like to learn from Rocky's training journey with me.

Understanding the science is important.
However so much of it is flawed. You wouldn't want your civil engineers to graduate based on flawed science so why are we churning out 10s of trainers that have learnt from flawed science.
It's a problem.....be informed by the science not blinded by it...

Before you buy a dog or get one from a rescue.
Have a good hard look at your life and work out realistically if you can provide the dog with the life they truly need.
You're to put the dog's needs first ahead of yours. Which means some hard work!
Think before you buy or adopt!
I made this mistake and my goodness it was a lot of work!

Can you let your dog off lead reliably?

Dog training should be short, sharp and simple.
You don't need to be spending hours and hours doing it.
Short, 5 mins sessions multiple times are way more effective than drawn out boring 30 minute sessions for you and your dog.
Find the time!

Muzzle Tip for ya
#looseleadclub #muzzletraining #dogmuzzle #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #dogownerlife #dogtraining #dogs #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainer
Your outside behaviour problems start indoors.
If you don't enforce stuff inside your dog for sure isn't going to suddenly listen outside.
Enforce stuff indoors as well as outdoors.

Honestly some of the advice that some of my clients have been given leaves me baffled at times.
Dog training to you as the client should sound like common sense and you should be able to witness your dog becoming more confident and better understand what is being asked of them.
Don't stroke the lead to help your reactive dog....

If you adopt a rescue from a rescue centre.
START TRAINING IT FROM THE MOMENT YOU GET THE DOG!!
Don't wait, otherwise there may well be a nervous, edgy dog trying to desperately seek some guidance, direction and predictable outcomes.
If you don't fill in the blanks for the dog quickly they will do that for you and create bigger problems for them and yourself.
A rescue dog needs your best efforts to train it. That is true love, providing good quality training so it can have the best possible life.
