I have just received this lovely review from a client I have been working with. I love my job helping people to work with their dogs to improve their life together and receiving a review like this makes it extra special.
"Christine has been so helpful. She has made a personal plan for us to keep looking at .
Gave us games , ideas and techniques to take her mind off stressful situations.
We have been having good walks
Not all the time but we now know how to deal with certain situations a lot better.
It’s a work in progress and if needed, I know she is a phone call away.
More important she has given me confidence in how I approach our day "

Thank you, Tracy

The animal training world has lost a very special person today. Karen Pryor was instrumental in teaching thousands of people how to teach animals using kindness. Developing science based methods to help people understand how animals learn so improving welfare and strengthening the bond. This book was read by millions and used not only by animal trainers but by anyone wishing to develop not only coaching skills but an understanding of relationships. Her legacy will live on πŸ’•

Some excellent advice here. I often advise people on providing a safe space for their dog. Somewhere to retreat to when they need some peace and quiet or are feeling overwhelmed. Please read and think about how to provide this for your dog(s) not just at Christmas but throughout the year.

Unfortunately there are too many people masquerading as dog trainers and behaviourists. They can do more harm than good with limited knowledge and experience 😣

Dog industry is broken ...

It's the only industry where clients are happy to pay for BIG EGOS, but not for extensive qualifications, accredited knowledge or verified expertise. We expect so little from those who provide services to our pets... Often no checks are done on those who we entrust with our (best) furry friends....

Why is that?

You won't pay a lot of money to have a manicure done by someone who has never done it before.

You won't have your teeth fixed by someone who is not a qualified dentist.

You won't go to physio who isn't qualified.

You would not have surgery done by someone who may have watched all episodes of Grey's Anatomy, but isn't a board certified surgeon.

You wouldn't have even have a facial from an unqualified beautician ....

Then why are we happy to pay a LOT of money for people who are claiming to be dog professionals, yet who hold zero qualifications in dog training / behaviour ?

The industry is unregulated, which is a big problem. I don't know whether that will ever change, but I remain hopeful. But perhaps that would change sooner if we all started to expect more from dog professionals?

My first thought was to delete the email. I'm not a fan of Graeme Hall. I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.

However, I was puzzled. Was the β€œcravat” unwell, and they needed a stand-in? I'm a nobody – why on earth would they want to film me training a dog when there are so many high-profile trainers out there? Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to give the researcher a call.

I'm still in shock as I write this. The researcher explained that they wanted to invite me to Lytham with my Border Collie to "demonstrate" to Graeme Hall how I would train my dog not to respond to a phone ringtone.

Graeme would then take my training method and use it to teach the Border Collie of the family seeking help – all while filming it for his TV show!

WTF 😳😳😳

I decided to dig a bit deeper and reached out to the force-free dog training community to see if anyone else had experienced something this bizarre.

It turns out that many trainers had also been asked to attend filming sessions to show Graeme how to train dogs before the cameras rolled. Most reported that they refused because of his methods, but a few had shown him and his team how to train a dog, only to be dismissed without any credit for their expertise.

I then did some open-source research on "The Country’s Best Dog Trainer," as the *Daily Telegraph* calls him. He has no formal training in canine behaviour or training. He’s essentially winging it with the help of whatever trainers are willing to show up and assist him.

According to his website, he charges Β£875 per session πŸ€”πŸ˜§

Now I’m not someone who normally criticises other trainers. I prefer to let my clients decide if I’m the right trainer for them based on how I work with their dogs.

However, I couldn’t let this pass without making it public knowledge.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, please avoid this programme and this man. You have no idea whose techniques he’ll be using week to week, and given that most qualified and accredited trainers want nothing to do with him, the quality of training you’ll receive is questionable at best.

Instead, do your own research and find a local trainer who aligns with your own dog training ethics. Organisations such as The IMDT or APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers can help guide you to qualified & accredited trainers in your area.

Grass seeds can cause a great deal of discomfort for your dog. They can even pe*****te the skin. Take care.

🌾 It is that time of year again!
🌾There are lots of grass seeds about and dogs run the risk of these burrowing into their paws, ears and armpits.
🌾 The seeds are like barbed darts, and once in a paw or ear, will not usually come out of their own accord.
🌾 Check your dog over thoroughly after every walk (this is also a good chance to check for ticks!) and remove any grass seeds.
🌾 Keep those with fluffy paws well trimmed.
🌾 Call your vet if your dog shows any sudden signs of lameness, paw licking, head shaking etc.
🌾 Removal of grass seeds can often require sedation so please be prepare for this.
