Look at this absolute cutie 🥰 we had Barney's first session this week & shared some tips with his owners to help him settle better in the evenings and get those sharp teeth away from the kids! 🐾

16/11/2024

Here we go! The last of our workshops for the year 🎊 we're covering three of the most asked about topics: recall, chilling out & lead walking 🐾

These workshops are suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds and abilities but all dogs must be human and dog friendly 🐶

All taking place at our fantastic Great Harwood venue, only a 25 minute drive from Longridge and Preston 📍 making it very accessible to our clients in those areas!

Baby Ember had her second session with us this week 😍 we worked on learning self settling skills and stopping nipping and jumping up!

Charlie is quickly outgrowing his favourite chair 🥹 this week we focused on lead walking and ignoring distractions! Charlie is one of our Platinum Puppies and he's growing into such a fantastic dog 😍

14/11/2024

This week's class puppies 🐾 We've been working hard on lead walking!! We can't believe this is our final course of 2024, this year has gone by way too fast.

If you'd like to attend our group classes in 2025, make sure you sign up for our waiting list: https://forms.gle/jT8MisogY81Uo4G88

12/11/2024

Aw Peppa, what a girl 😍 from being terrified of the harness to now having it put on, going zooming around and recalling like a rocket 🚀

10/11/2024

Riley and Nala are human and dog-reactive, and we've been working with them to increase their confidence and focus around distractions, preparing them for stooge sessions in the near future. It's early days but they are progressing nicely and we can't wait to see them out and about feeling happier and safer around people and dogs!

09/11/2024

Barking, lunging and snarling - this is all Larry could do when he saw other dogs! But look at this progress.... What reactivity!?

His stooge sessions have been fantastic and he has been showing off his skills at our Reactive Rally classes too 😍

08/11/2024

Penny and Toby are barkers, you could say they get major FOMO! But with a new baby at home, it was important to tackle this issue. This week we used impulse control skills to help them learn that they don't have to be in on the action all the time and that it's ok to miss out on some things. Their progress has been awesome and we can't wait to keep supporting them through this and other issues 🐾

07/11/2024

A visit to the secure field for Wanda 🐾 we've been working to build her confidence up to get her ready for stooge sessions!

06/11/2024

It's hard work being such a good boy! Charlie aced another private session, this time working on calmness around the cats 🐈

Does your dog chase your cats too? Get in touch, we can help 🐾

Has anyone lost this dog? 🐕

01/11/2024

We saw Murphy today to help him ignore people and distractions when he's out and about! He did so well, ignoring high levels distractions and walking beautifully to heel, staying focused on his owner 🙌🏻

Only five months old and he has cracked it 🐾

🎃👻 6 Top Tips for Preparing Your Dog for Halloween Night! 🐶🕸️

1️⃣Comfort First – If you're dressing up your dog, make sure the costume is comfy and safe! Avoid anything too tight or with choking hazards. And more importantly, if your dog isn't used to wearing clothing already, leave the outfits at home and let them stay 'naked' 🦸‍♂️✨

2️⃣ Noise – Halloween can be noisy! Play calming music or creating a cosy space where your dog can relax away from the excitement is important 🎶🛋️

3️⃣ Tricks, not treats – Keep the sweets out of reach! Many Halloween treats are toxic to dogs. Make sure to stock up on healthy dog treats 🍬🐾

4️⃣ Walks – Take your dog for a walk before the trick-or-treaters come out, let them enjoy the calmness before it becomes too busy and overwhelming out there 🐕🌅

5️⃣ Watch the Door – If your dog gets anxious around visitors or startles at unpredictable noises, it may be worth leaving your sweets outside with a note asking people not to knock on. If your dog is ok with doorbells and visitors, then use a baby gate to keep them from running out of the door 🚪🐾 remember, the distraction levels will be very high so even if your dog hasn't darted out of the door with the post person, they might if there are tons of excitable kids on the other side!

6️⃣ Settle training - Between now and Halloween night, focus on practising calmness with your dog. Build the value of their bed or settle mat by placing treats on it whilst your dog is lying down and starting to relax. It's crucial that your dog has an area they can go to if it all gets a bit too much, where they can relax and not be disturbed 🛏️

Enjoy a spooky and safe Halloween! 🎃🐾

No training needed!! This is how you get your dog to walk on the lead without having to train them 🙌🏻

One of our key priorities when working with young dogs is the prevention of guarding behaviours! Resource guarding can develop quickly and have severe consequences, so here are three top tips to prevent it: 1. Teach a "Leave It" cue 🐾 Start early by teaching your dog to respond to the "leave it" cue. This helps them understand that giving up an item doesn’t mean losing it forever, but can lead to something even better! 🦴✨ 2. Always trade for high-value items 🍖 When your dog has a high-value item, never just take it away. Instead, offer them something they value even more in exchange. This keeps the interaction positive and avoids tension over prized possessions. 🐕🤝 3. Never snatch items off a dog 🚫 Avoid grabbing things out of your dog's mouth unless they are dangerous. Snatching items can create a negative association with you approaching your dog, leading them to guard items they value. 🧦🍗

Larry had his first trip to a private dog area (the Dog Place, Cockerham) so he can have a run and play with his family without the worry of other dogs being around! He’s clearly having great fun!

Little Bali saw two dogs across the road and you see her ‘shake off’ here after spotting them. Doing a shake like this (it looks like she’s trying to shake off water) is a way of relieving stress, helping her feel better. Seeing her do this is an indicator that she wasn’t comfortable when the dogs appeared from around the corner. She then orientates towards me as we have practiced this so I am able to reassure her and help manage the situation with her, moving away if needed. She is not in full control due to the fact she has a lead on - so we work together and communication is key! As you can see, she’s happy to turn away from the other dogs and work with me while they pass. This ensures she isn’t barking, lunging or any other behaviours that often occur when a dog is on a lead and in an uncomfortable situation. Watch your dogs body language, acknowledge what that means and listen to your dogs communication through their body to work together to help your dog feel safe, calm and happy 🐕
