Appreciate you all! β€οΈ
Dog Guardians,
We know it can be a confusing minefield out there when it comes to choosing the right trainer or behaviourist for your doggo-
People often use words like 'top dog' and 'alpha' to talk about their dog or puppy. But this idea can lead people to use training methods that aren't good for dogs at all.
Some people think punishing a dog makes it behave better. But actually, this will have a terrible effect on your dog's well-being.
Some people advocate for what's known as 'balanced training.' While it may sound neutral, it includes old and outdated techniques that will scare and hurt your dog.
Also, remember, anyone can say they're a 'trainer,' 'behaviour expert,' or a 'behaviourist' for dogs, even without proper qualifications.
Make sure to listen to someone who really knows their stuff, who is qualified and accredited, and who uses positive, scientifically proven methods that are safe and proven to work.
At Yappily, every dog trainer or behaviourist who's listed is all of the above and has agreed to our 'do no harm' code of ethics.

And back from a couple of fun days adventure on the Pembrokeshire coastline with Barney exploring St David's and few of the stunning beaches along the coast.
A big thank you to Barney's owners for consenting to take Barney on a trip away with us during his stay.β€οΈ
Even the pig came to the beachπ.
What is that thing ?
After standing and staring at this for a good 15 minutes trying to figure it out he then decided he wanted to move forward and try check it out. Then afterwards stood and stared again until he decided it was not moving.π
He even brings his own pig to stay on the farmπ₯°. What a fun filled day we have had.
First stop.π
Something exciting is happening and more than likely going to require a lot more towels than this πππ
I'm proud to be an accredited IMDT dog trainer! This means I've undergone rigorous training and adhere to the highest standards of dog training. If you're looking for a positive and effective way to train your furry friend, get in touch.
After a nice walk in the woods just has to be done.
Not many photos from our walk this morning as Mr Sociable had me talking to everyone π.
So the one thing to know is that if you have a retriever you will become the most sociable person ever.π
Here at Lead On we love nothing more than helping others and helping people to learn.
It can be hard to find someone to shadow on a 121 basis in the dog world and there is a mindfield of information out there so it can be hard sometimes to know where to turn.
So, I have been approached to be a mentor and have agreed to help teach and train and share my knowledge and shadow me to help them to become a dog trainer and help them on their journey into the dog world.
This person is currently studying Applied Animal Science at Usk College and keen to learn much much more.
So, in the near future you will be seeing the Two of us. Just finalising a few more things before we get started.π
For those that know me, an understanding of canines and studying and getting those qualifications and experince is so important as looking after dogs comes with needing to understand body language, canine behaviour the list can go on and it should also be top of the list to for anyone caring for your beloved pet. I totally understand everyone starts from the beginning to grow but always good to know that if some one is taking the time to learn in this unregulated sector then that is a good start π
Dog parents!
Why is it important that the pet business you choose to help care for your dog is ethically minded?
Firstly, when a pet business acts ethically, it means your dogs are cared for in the best way possible. It means they put your dog's welfare first.
All of the Dog Pros listed on Yappily have been checked and vetted to ensure they are insured, qualified and licensed where appropriate, welfare-led and pledge to never use aversive tools or methods.
This means proper peace of mind for you and lots of love for your pup π

My forever growing collection of t-shirts.ππ
And there he is. True Barney style. Not a care in the world.π€£Sure that is him winking at me to as if to say yep that's me all sorted and muddy again π
Let's start Monday by sharing this great dog directory just for you π

He is such a clever boy. Keeping the mind busy today with some fun training. A few weaves , middles and some whispers.
Recall training should never stop. And carrots are also really good too. Note not a full carrot to be given. I did break this up into small pieces πππ
My client & her dog working through his reactivity. What a team. Using the methods this boy is really making amazing progress. Real world training. βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ.
And ending Sunday on a high note. Working with fearful dogs is my absolute passion and such a beautiful thing to see the dogs emotions changing over time. Olly you have come so so far and here you are having time running with Brody. πΎ
A great short video sent to me by one of my lovely clients who came to me for help with her dog as this gorgeous boy stuggles with lunging and barking at people and dogs. Using the methods shown and working brilliantly with her dog the results are now starting to show. It is still early days but from lunging to a much calmer walk with a dog behind too (not able to show other dog as filming was on her walk). Small steps we are all working together. We meet and then we also do some remote working together. Absolutely lovely work from both π
