Last spaces available for the recall workshop on the 1st June
One of the biggest problems I see are dogs struggling with recall. Not only is this a problem for the owners, and dogs, but also other people. We owe it to our pups to make sure we keep them out of dangerous situations, and this workshop is designed for exactly that.
We go through the basics of setting up a recall, and exercises to do at home, on the move, and how to introduce things like prey, play and chase drives to really bombproof that recall. We also talk about the importance of reactivity training if your issues go past the recall.
If you want to check me out, I have loads of great reviews, and real world results using positive training techniques and tapping into innate behavioural traits in dogs… Kind of what you would expect from an accredited trainer.
This workshop is only £40 for the two hours, giving you LOADS of training and tips.

One of the most common issues I see with reactive dogs is the use of a short lead. Using a longer and looser lead while training a reactive dog can be beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for more freedom of movement, reducing the feeling of constraint and pressure that can worsen or even drive a dog's reactivity. Think about all those times we tighten up on a lead when we see another dog, the shorter the lead, the easier that is to do, even subconsciously. When a dog feels less restricted, they tend to feel more relaxed in a situation and more able to process that without the extra pressure. Its very similar to walking down the street and suddenly a friend grabs your wrist and starts to steer you across the road… That pressure and movement instantly tells you something is wrong, even if you cant see it!
Secondly, a longer lead can provide a greater distance between the dog and the thing their reacting to, creating a buffer zone that can help prevent the dog from becoming overly aroused or reactive. It also gives them the option to create their OWN distance and that’s part of good decision making.
And lastly, a looser lead can help communicate a sense of calmness and relaxation to the dog, as opposed to tension on a tight lead. This is what real leadership is… That tension, can signal to the dog that there is something to be worried about (just like our wrist example above), and we’re the ones driving that in some cases. By maintaining a relaxed leash, the handler can help the dog feel more at ease and help them make better decisions and come to terms with the situation. This is absolutely critical to help the dog work through emotion, and not just supress them.
Reactivity is often about doing less, not more. Its just knowing what to do… Easier said than done, but also why good, force free trainers exist. Using shorter leads, “correcting” outbursts and supressing emotions just causes more stress and anxiety… Your dog isn’t actin
So… I’ve been quiet regarding the scent detection I was looking to do, as I got really let down on some things. That said, we adapt and overcome and I’ve been working to get that back on track. So for all those that commented and emailed me, I haven’t forgot, I’ve just had to rejig!
Anyway… In the garage today, I made this and we’re going to be ready soon to roll out some scent detection and pod trailing!
Jump on the page to stay up to date with this. I have some excellent new ideas for all this stuff and a whole new system of teaching geared towards getting the most out of your pups, in the most fun way we can! Im really looking forward to sharing it all with you... Just as soon as I can get the sawdust from out of my beard. And if you have any questions... Drop them below!

Thank you to everyone that came to see me this weekend!
Come see us for some free advice and hoopers. There's also a pack walk at 2.30pm with some prizes to give away!
Training Lead, back in stock
Just back in stock… The Ultimate Dog Training Lead: Your Trusted Companion for Perfect Pooch Training!
🐾 Tired of juggling multiple dog leashes for different situations? This Training Lead is the answer.
🐕🦺 With three versatile modes, it's like having three leashes in one:
1. Normal Mode: Perfect for daily walks and basic training. Maintain control while giving your furry friend some freedom to explore safely. Longer than your Halti alternatives
2. Long Lead Mode: Need to practice recalls or let your dog roam in a larger space? Extend the lead in a snap, giving your dog just under 3m of extra space, ensuring room to move while staying connected.
3. Hands-Free Mode: It's the ultimate game-changer for hands-free walks, runs, or hikes. Simply adjust the lead around your shoulder, and enjoy a truly immersive experience with your pup. It's ideal for dog owners who love the outdoors but need their hands free for other activities. Its also amazing for practicing “off lead” lead walking where we’re not steering pup, or using the lead to try and control them.
4. BONUS Storage Mode: clip it to itself and it stows comfortably over the shoulder
5. BONUS Double-Ended Mode: Clip to harness AND collar for 2 points of contact. Super useful for bigger dogs.
🌟 What makes our Dog Training Lead exceptional?
• Durable & Reliable: Crafted from premium materials, it can withstand the toughest of outdoor adventures while keeping your pet safe.
• Easy to Adjust: The lead length can be customized effortlessly, providing flexibility for any situation.
• Secure & Comfortable: A comfortable handle and robust clips ensure your dog stays connected and safe.
• Ideal for All Breeds: Whether you have a tiny Terrier or a giant Great Dane, our lead is suitable for dogs of all sizes.
🐶 Say goodbye to multiple leashes and hello to simplicity, versatility, and control in one fantastic package. £27.95 and can usually be hand delivered locally on my daily travels. Po
Thank you all so much for this weekend. Hoopers classes are officially a hit! I'll be putting up info soon for anyone that really wants to get onto it!
So due to… getting divorced, I’ve let my pups nail clipping slide a little, and Ive been having issues at the groomers as hes a little stressed by the whole ordeal. So time to deal with that myself... So picked up some clippers today… Lets do it.
At the groomers, he was incredibly unhappy, and always has been. Today, we could only get 3 front nails clipped before it was WAY too much for him)
the process is
• Get pup comfortable, in this case, on my bed.
• Place hand under his paw to touch his pad, mark and reward. The sensation of me touching under his paw, triggers the mark/reward.
• Repeat until pup is starting to offer up that behaviour
• Once happy with that, place my hand, palm up, ON TOP of his paw, and wait for him to offer his paw. Mark and reward
• Increase duration
• Add in the clippers… Me touching the clippers, reward. Repeat.
• Me picking up the clippers and putting them down. Reward
• Me touching the clippers to his nails. Reward
• Me holding the clippers on his nails. Reward
• Me manipulating the clipper. Reward
• Finally, clip and reward.
Come see me at woof fest tomorrow!
Working your dog, and cortisol breaks
Cortisol is basically a stress hormone. It's like adrenaline but slower to wear off... And it can build up. Things like fear and frustration can cause it, and things like anxiety can keep it fueled.
Give everyone a break. 😊
