The three ways we got this dog from barking at every single dog he saw, to calmly walking past them.

🌟 Providing adequate Outlet
To have a dog without the right outlet means they’re frustrated and a frustrated dog is much harder to train and far more explosive. So we focused on giving him proper play time, off-lead time to run around, and breed-specific exercises like retrieving.

🌟Clarity
Ensuring the dog truly understands what they should be doing, not just what they shouldn’t do. A dog without clarity gets stressed and unsure, and will often throw out random behaviours hoping one will work.

🌟Connection
Doing exercises that bring the dog and owner closer together builds a stronger partnership. It means that when the owner asks for something, the dog is far more likely to listen. It also builds trust, so the dog feels confident following their lead.

If you are struggling, ask yourself whether you have these 3 things

10 year old me spent hours outside training Nugget my lovely (and very patient) dog. It was my favourite thing to do and now I get to do that for my job. She would be so proud 💛

You’ve got a high energy dog and no matter how much you make them run they still won’t settle and seem over stimulated….does that sound familiar? Fetch works a dog’s legs, scent games work a dog’s mind. Guess which one results in a truly calmer dog?

🌟 WEEKLY DEMO VIDEO 🌟
Getting the perfect eye contact. So often people teach the ‘look’ / ‘focus’ cue but all that happens is their dog glances at them and then back at the distraction. Here is a step by step on getting solid eye contact even around distractions. I hope you enjoy!

What do you prefer the whistle for stop or using the word ‘STOP’?

Before anyone judges the killed hundreds of times, Luna was a street dog first, and then lived on a yard with horses so there were rats and mice EVERYWHERE. She became a fantastic hunter and to be honest everyone praised her for it (including my mother when Luna single handedly solved their mice issue in the garden!) However when she moved to London it suddenly all changed for her, killing things was suddenly no longer acceptable. I needed to get control over her and her prey drive. She won’t take food when she is in hunting mode, but I still needed to find a way to get control. I was never going to put an E collar on her, or ruin our relationship by shouting at her. This took SO MUCH TIME. But it was worth it and it’s probably one of the things I’m most proud of!

A day in the life of a London dog trainer!
It’s always early starts, busy days and full of happy dogs (and hopefully happy owners!)
Since so many people ask me how many steps I do a day, I thought I’d add it in!

Things we need to normalise in the dog world:
🔷Most dogs once they are older and no longer puppies, don’t love every dog and person. Loads of dogs don’t like strangers grabbing at them or strange dogs racing up to them. Put yourself in their shoes—imagine random people hugging you all day!

🔹It’s great we can bring our dogs most places nowadays, and don’t get me wrong, a restaurant or dog-friendly pub can be great. But sometimes I see anxious dogs in loud environments and you think, who is this benefiting—the dog or the person? Does your dog really want to be there?

🔷Your dog will never—and should never—be PERFECT. I have never in my life met the perfect person. I’ve met great people, but never the perfect person. We all have our flaws and quirks; dogs are no different. Stop asking from an animal something a human can’t do… let that sink in.
