Anyone who has mentioned this awful human knows how we feel about him but to further evidence why this "tw*t in the cravat" is so dangerous here is a first hand account of what goes on behind the scenes.

I cannot watch the show as I find it too painful to see animals being mistreated and/or labelled as difficult when there are clear signs of pain/discomfort causing their "difficult/problem" behaviours.

It would be nice to see this show cancelled and the producers just using qualified trainers instead to showcase how to correctly help/train dogs.

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 I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.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.

Written by a fellow consent based groomer, worth a share ❀️

WHAT IS CONSENT BASED GROOMING AND HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR GROOMER WORKS WITH THIS ETHOS

Consent based means listening to and reading the dog to ensure no action is taken against its will. It means asking the dog rather than assuming. Obviously dogs can’t talk. But they communicate constantly and a consent based groomer is looking for these communications so as to adapt to his or her needs. This ensures that no aspect of grooming is confrontational or stressful.

In truth there will always be things dogs would rather not have us do. But need doing. Consent based approaches mean that these things can be approached sensitively in a way the dog can cope with. Reducing the stress and capturing the dog’s trust.

How will you know if your dog groomer works with a consent based ethos?
Well one big clue is that they will only have your dog on site. Consent based groomers on the whole do not have more than one dog or family of dogs together. Larger salons may still offer consent approaches but will ask you to bring your dig at a specified time rather than have all dogs delivered am or pm. They will ask about your dog’s anxiety levels generally at home and likely want to conduct a meet and greet or introductory session to assess your dog’s reactions to the environment

I am passionate about ensuring all the dogs I groom are heard and respected. That their needs are 100% at the forefront of every decision. And will want to work with you to ensure your pup has the calmest, most pleasant experience possible at all times.

I despair!! 😩

How do I and other pet professionals ensure that dog guardians who post on community groups get the right help and advice? πŸ˜•

I see some incredibly awful and sometimes dangerous advice given by people. Mainly other dog owners. 😳

I have spent thousands on my education and ongoing CPD. I belong to organisations with clear codes of ethics.
I am insured
I have a DBS
I have a Level 3 Canine 1st aid qual and numerous dog related qualifications and accreditations (there is a difference between a qualification an accreditation)

My learning and knowledge comes from peer reviewed scientific research NOT Google or TV

My skills come from practical experience built and added to as my knowledge increases.

I am not tarring all with the same brush, but enough with the terrible advice 😬

For up to date, qualified do no harm dog training and other pet services in Norfolk look at the following:

It's not about the size of the dog in the play, it's about the size of the play in the dog. Apologies to Mark Twain.
