Having a well trained dog is hard. It’s a lot of hard work, a lot of time, and sometimes a lot of money.

Do you want to know what’s harder?

Having an untrained dog, it’s way more stressful, way more dangerous, and also more expensive, because vet bills, new furniture, fines etc. aren’t cheap!

It’s much easier to put 20-30 mins ago day aside to train your dog, and to be consistent on the things you will and won’t accept from them!

Clocks have gone back. 🕰️ This can be a bit of a tough time for owners of reactive dogs as there is less daylight. 🌅

Many reactive dog owners go out super early or super late to avoid seeing other dogs, just so there dog doesn’t freak out. 😟

If this sounds like you or someone you know, we can help. Walking your dog doesn’t have to be so stressful, and we’d love to help you and your dog enjoy going for walks together! 🥰

If you want to know more, drop us a message!

🐕 Loose-Lead Walking 🐕

I harp on about it a lot, but just about every aspect of life with a dog is better and easier when they walk really nicely on a lead.

It’s safer, it hurts less for both you and the dog, it creates a much better relationship and they get more exercise because walking them is so much more enjoyable for you.

If you want help teaching your dog to walk on a nice loose-lead, drop us a message and we’ll get you booked in!

Blue light/military discount and payment plans available!

Is your dog reliable off the lead?

Do they come back the first time they’re called around distractions?

A good way to proof this is to take them out on a longline to different places, and call them back. If you have to intervene with the longline, then they’re not ready to be off lead safely.

If you want help getting your dog’s recall to be bombproof around distractions, then give us a message, we can help!

Puppy socialisation. What actually is it? 🐶

Well first here’s what it isn’t. It isn’t meeting every dog you can find, puppy play dates, and interacting with every person/dog/child etc. that you come across.

What it is

85% normalising the world around them by exposure, while creating a positive experience via food/play with us, so that the environment is just secondary, and becomes just the norm to them. Just like us as people, we can be around people, cars, buses, dogs, and all sorts of other things without caring. 🙂‍↔️

10% interacting with people/dogs/kids that you will be spending lots of time with, such as family and friends 🥰

4% interacting with random people and dogs that we come across. 🙂

1% LUCK. Sometimes you can do it all right and unfortunate incidents will cause an issue, such as being attacked or spooked! 😦

If you want help doing this properly to set your dog up for a great life when they grow up, give us a shout!

🐕 Reactivity Rehab Packages 🐕

Reactivity is a nightmare to live with, and Google/Youtube just does not come anywhere close to helping you fix it. 👎🏼

We specialise in individualised training programs that take into account everything that goes into diagnosing why the dog is becoming reactive.

Diet ✅
Lifestyle ✅
Breed ✅
Handling skills ✅
Socialisation ✅
Obedience ✅
Engagement ✅

We then tailor the plan to make sure everything is aligned to prevent the behaviour worsening while we actively work on fixing it 👌🏼

If you’ve tried doing it yourself and now want support from experienced trainers with a proven track record of success, then give us a message and we will get you booked in! 🐕

If you really want your dog to understand something, and be really good at it, I PROMISE you the best way is to break it down into as many small steps as possible.

Short sessions (2-5 mins) a couple of times a day, with plenty of time to rest after to let the brain work its magic and reinforce the neural pathways used in the session.

Start in the lowest level of distraction you can find, and reward very frequently before progressing onto more difficult environments.

If anyone has a better way of building incredibly high levels of understanding in a behaviour, I’d love to hear it!

Habits don’t often take long for dogs to pick up, but they can be a nightmare to break (kinda like people 👀)

If you focus on adding as much value as possible to the right habits, like recall, loose lead walking, focusing on you around distractions etc. then you can often override the value of the unwanted habits!

In people that’s so hard to do, but with dogs it doesn’t have to be, build a ridiculously high value marker, control the access to valuable resources like food/toys/praise consistently for a few weeks it’s amazing what you can do.

If you need help with this, give us a shout, and we will be happy to support you through the journey!

3 years ago today I quit drinking.

I wasn’t the best version of me, the people I love deserved so much more from me. My daughter was due in 2 months and she definitely deserved the absolute best version of her daddy that I could offer.

I’m not sure there’s anything I’ve felt prouder of myself for than making such a huge change and sticking to it.

If you or someone you know is thinking of taking this step, I can honestly say it’s the best thing I ever did.

If you need some extra engagement from your dog, you want them to recall more reliably, listen to you when you ask them to do things, and pay attention around distractions, then this is for you.

Stop free-feeding your dog, don’t just leave a big bowl of food topped up for them to help themselves to, and start hand feeding as often as possible. Use their food to reward them for following instructions, checking in with you on walks etc.

That food will become way more valuable to them, and in turn increase the value of working with you. Start small, with low distractions, then build as they get better!

If you want extra help with getting your dog to the level you want, give us a shout, we would love to help!

Did You Know Your Dog's Diet Can Impact Their Behaviour? 🐾

If your dog struggles with hyperactivity, anxiety, reactivity , or mood swings, switching to a lower-carb, higher-protein diet could help.

🐕 Why Protein Matters:
Protein is not only great for muscle health, but it also contains tryptophan, an important amino acid that helps produce serotonin, known as the "feel-good" chemical. Serotonin helps keep your dog calm, happy, and balanced. 🧘‍♀️

🥔 Carbs & Sugar:
Too many carbs (found in grains, potatoes, and rice) turn into sugar, which can cause spikes in energy and contribute to hyperactive behaviour. Cutting down on carbs helps avoid sugar rushes and keeps your dog more evenly balanced. This is crucial in most training journeys!

A change in your dog’s diet, could make a big difference in their mood and behaviour
