I'm sure many of you have now heard the news of Stefans passing, but I needed to post on here for him. (This is Beth). He fought so hard every day with his mental struggles and pain and I am devastated to say that he lost his fight in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Helping you and your dogs gave Stefan purpose, it truly was his calling. His passion was next to none and he truly loved helping each and every one of yourselves and your dogs. He felt so intensely, each client meant so much to him and he cared deeply for each one of you and your beloved pets.

No words will ever do him justice, but I want the world to know how beautiful, kind, compassionate and caring he was.

The dogs gave him purpose and he valued each of their lives even more than his own.

He wanted nothing less than the best for everyone, please hug your loved ones tight and check on your family and friends, strangers in passing, anyone and everyone. Let's fill this world with so much kindness and compassion that he feels it forever.

❤️

Hi everyone

Im really sorry for those who havent been replied to in a timely mannore.
I was unfortunately rushed into hospital last with after being caught ill with severe food poisoning.
Probably the most painful experience of my life. I'm still a little fatigued but we are now working back as normal.

Thank you all for baring with me while I recovered ❤️

Bear is a beautiful Romanian rescue 😍🐶.

While confident around humans, he has a exited yet fearful response which in the early stages resulted in a lot of barking and some snapping.

Although the barking is quite high in the begining with him, he does eventually calm with the introduction of good calming dogs.

This was also bears first time off lead without feeling any form of tention or restriction, free wonder, look for escape routs etc 😂.
Once he relaxed, he was able to show himself ❤️.

This was a beatiful day ❤️

Let dogs be dogs!!!!!!!! 👌😁🐶.

This might inconvenience our day slightly but for them, this is the highlight of their day.

If we want the most out of our dogs, we have to fulfill their needs as much as possible.

I dont belive that dogs should do as their told, i believe we should build trust, respect and give them a reason to want to listen.

My training is like any other programme, my sessions are all designed personally around the dog, owners and home enviroment.
Its all well and good telling owners what is best but we have to find the place that's realistic, adapting in all areas allows us to give you the best goals while being able to be consistent.

Your goals are our priority 😊🐶

I dont use e-collars but I will share the science.

I dont think people should use tools on every dog but some tools are benificial for some dogs.

Educating yourself is so important. Don't allow yourself to be manipulated by generalist information, that tugs on the heart strings. Our dogs deserve more.

You get out what you put in!!!! 🐶👌.

I was asked for assistence working through a few issues they were facing, Just some touch ups.
But I had to take a moment to apreciate the hard work they have put in together.

This is the relationship most owners dream of but the only way it get it is countless hours of training. I have to say it was an absolute pleasure being able to assist you 😊, you have my upmost respect ❤️💪👌

When working with big strong reactive dogs, its important we choose the right equipment for both you and your dog.

Here we opted for the figure of 8, this allows us to have the maximum amount of control, while using the minimum amount of force.
We want to allow free choice while being able to calm a situation as quickly as possible, staying within threshold without leaving the encounter.

Great result so far in the first session 🐶👌😊

The beautiful Italian rescue, Ohhh how he's progressing!!! 😍.

With 0 focus at the start and reactions to traffic, to 3,4 sessions in, walking through town and now being able to use treats for the firdt time up at Marbury park.

I'm so inpressed with all the work that has been put in between sessions.

The more you put in, the more you get back ♥️🐶
Which Laura is showcasing perfectly 😊

A little tip for owners that struggle with lead walking!👌🐶😊.

Stop trying to run before you can walk. Dogs don't speak English, they have their own language. Take your words away, and teach them, before expecting them to understand the association to the words we use.

Slow it down, shut up, and stop walking forward when they pull. "they don't pull that bad" is still pulling, we want loose lead all the time. 👌

I took this picture last night when visiting my dad to get my tea and it really resonated with me.

My dad has been running his business for almost 40 years. It took me many years to understand the world but when you finally open your eyes you see people for who they truely are ♥️.

I respect this man more than anyone else in the world.
The things he's done, the things he's been through and the challenges he's faced, I cant express in words just how strong and incredible this man is. Anyone that has met him will understand. I'm so grateful to have you as a role model.
My entire life has been influenced by you so my much and for that I will be eternally grateful.

I'm blessed with your teachings, I'm blessed with your morals, now my only goal is to be better than I was yesterday and never stop striving to do more and be better.

This is how I run my business, with the goal set as providing the best quility of care/service I could possibly provide. I care about every dog and owner that comes in, I share your load and I carry the weight with you.
This isn't just dog training for me, this is improving lives using what skills I have.

This post is mostly to be able to connect with you all and share a little myself, who I am and what I stand for.

Stan, the prolific lead puller.

Stan like most springers is a huge noes follower with a disire to be doing his own thing where ever he pleases.🐶

With a lot of patience and percistance we are able to create a loose lead expiernece, this doesn't mean 0 tention. It simply means no steps forward if the lead is tight.

We first have to create a positive understanding. The dog has many needs and they first need fulfilling if we want them walking by out hip.

(Progression, not perfection) . We aren't perfect and now ether is our dogs. Let them show their struggles wants and needs and work with them.

Anything can be a reward system, if it's playing with dogs then use that as your reward, don't restrict them from he things they need most.

Training is a partnership with a strong confident leader. 💪👌😊🐶

Watch as we encounter normal life distractions, we have to ubder stand before we can teach our dogs too. Really well done 😊

Mable, although nervous, was a little more simple, we swapped her almost right away to the slip lead.
For dogs that can slip into the clouds and become nervous, a slip lead can be a really effective tool to help keep them checked in. We don't use force to gain this, we use simple pressure and release and as you can see, she responded incredibly to it 😊.

As for Dooley, he's more complicated. He has certainly had a tough past, one that makes him fearful of strong characters, men in particular.
We don't (fix the dog) in these moments, it's more about fixing the communication from the human, to allow the dog first to understand he's safe.
No real training can start until we can first communicate effectively.

Again we opted for the slip lead for Dooley and it has been a wonderful option again.

Don't allow trainers to manipulate your emotions while spreading misinformation around equipment.
These dogs are highly anxious, if we use any amount of force, they will not respond and shut down.
This is the opposite and has given these wonderful owners hope they never thought they would have ♥️
