Want to know what the first thing I teach in every training package is?

Eye contact.

Focus, engagement, checking in, learning that good stuff happens when they pay attention to you.

Practise it in your house, practise it in your garden, practise it on your walks.

Here’s your starting guide to building an engaged relationship with your dog - all other training flows from this.

Huge resource guarding progress!

Sam’s owner sent me this video of him calmly interacting with her having just received a new toy.

In the past, getting a new toy would have caused Sam to run away, to growl at his owner, and to wet himself when she was in the same room as him due to stress.

It didn’t matter if she tried to offer him treats, he was too stressed to eat and too scared to release his toy.

Now, he is happy to be near her, actively comes to her with a toy, will put the toy down to take treats, and is generally a much happier dog!

Going from growling to calm is a huge improvement in everyone’s life.

It’s OK to say “No!”

Just because someone is a pet care professional or has owned dogs all their lives doesn’t mean that they understand your dog and their specific needs, particularly if you’re working on a behaviour modification plan.

Just in the past few months I’ve heard from clients:

“The vet dragged my dog through to the back room - he was so scared he went to the toilet on himself”

“My neighbour told me I should just “let dogs be dogs” and not try to train them or keep them from running up to everyone they see”

“He had such a bad experience at the groomers that he now won’t get in the car incase we’re going back there”

“The trainer held out their hand for my dog’s lead and then forcefully put them into a position - now they’re scared of people”

It’s not easy to stand up for your dog but remember - it’s ok to ask people to explain exactly what they’re going to do with your dog - and if you think that won’t work for your dog then say “No!”.

A good pet professional will always work with you to create a plan that is right for your dog.
