It's been a hot minute since I last posted (moved house and got a new job) but everyone meet Mabel

Her lovely owners are away on holiday and I've been given the privilege of looking after her 🖤

Im pleased to say I have moved to London from Kent. I would really like to build up my petsitting clients across London!

I have a master's degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and have also trained dogs in the past, as well as volunteering for various rescues and doggy daycares.

I pride myself on being force free and welfare focused 🖤 I also work with a lot of 'difficult' dogs - there is no problem too big.

Please do get in touch if you ever need a dogsitter or petsitter 🏘️🐕

And please share - you never know who will see it!

How cuuuute is Stella

We've done a few short training sessions which she really enjoyed - we worked on some loose lead walking and a drop cue (just for fun)

Ps for my trainer friends - HOW DO YOU RECORD YOUR SESSIONS??? I can never get the angles right

Practising some engage disengage work after pabs has a rough evening last night He actually saw two dogs he has reacted to before, and heard a dog barking and he just shrugged it off 💁🏽‍♀️ Also - using treats isn't cheating #reactivedogs #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementdogtrainer #pocendo #sighthound #reactivedogsunite #rewardyourdog

Loose lead walking
Loose lead walking

Some beautiful loose lead walking from Arn and El - on their FIRST session Loose lead walking is something that can take a while to master, so always break your training sessions into manageable chunks I suggested that El spends no more than 10 minutes a day practising loose lead walking in different places, and in-between sessions to let Arnie decompress by using a longline and harness - while still rewarding for good behaviours

Walk back
Walk back

Teaching Pablo to walk backwards when he's in the tunnel position! Rewarding for even the smallest steps backwards as I want to keep it fun and rewarding

Duration to touch cue
Duration to touch cue

So today we was working on building duration into Pablo's touch cue I love to see how enthusiastic he is about learning new things 🤣 We keep sessions short and sweet and I always make sure he is rewarded for trying, even if it's not perfect #dogtrainer #clickertraining #goodboy #doggo

Touch cue
Touch cue

What is the touch cue good for?? A fun recall Moving your dog off furniture Moving your dog anywhere without having to touch them A target for more advanced behaviours, eg heel, leg weaves Can help as a reactivity distraction - making your dog touch your hand is incompatible with barking and lunging

Lovely recall ❣️
Lovely recall ❣️

"I use an ecollar so my dog can be free" You DO NOT need an ecollar to give your dog freedom Your dog DOES NOT need to go off lead in unsecure places to have an enriched life Use a longline, a harness and a high value reward (toys/treats/affection, whatever your dog finds rewarding) You can also use activities as a recall reward - show your dog that hole in the ground to dig, follow that squirrel with them Is your dog really free if you are stimming them with an electric shock when they don't come to you first time? Is it really fair to expect a dog to recall back to you in an environment they have never practised in before?
