𝗣𝘂𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 - 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟯 🐶

The pups worked so hard today and we learnt lots. They all did so well. We looked at stay, settle, leave it and drop it.

We finished off having fun with the tunnel and building confidence and they all absolutely loved it. They did make us laugh tonight with the tunnel 🥰 More confidence building on our last week with lots of fun things to bring along to our class. We missed you tonight Jasper 🐶

Proud to have a recognised qualification.

For dog trainers and behaviourists, it’s crucial to make sure that their qualifications come from a regulated source, like an Ofqual-recognised awarding body such as AIM or iPET. This is because qualifications from these recognised bodies meet strict standards, ensuring the training is thorough, up-to-date, and based on the latest knowledge in animal behaviour and welfare. It’s a way of guaranteeing that the skills and knowledge gained are not just valid but are also trusted across the industry.

Having qualifications from recognised bodies also boosts a trainer’s credibility and professionalism. In an unregulated field where anyone can call themselves a dog trainer, this kind of certification shows clients that the trainer has gone through proper, verified training and adheres to high standards. This not only helps trainers build trust with their clients but also ensures that the dogs they work with receive the best possible care and guidance, ultimately leading to better training results and happier, healthier animals.

Look for these logos when choosing your courses and qualifications.

A great post from The Dog Geeks

If our dogs are happy, have outlets to natural behaviours, are both mentally and physically well, and have clear communication, we rarely see behavioral issues. If there are behaviours we are struggling with, often we just have to look at our dogs holistically and see what they need.
Happy fulfilled dog, less problematic behaviours.

Been shopping today for all separate things for the dogs raw food and they've had their first meal tonight and it went down very well 😁🐾

Love this 💖

There's a lot of debate out there at the moment about the effectiveness of

So, let's be clear.

E-collars work.
Vibration collars work.
Spray collars work.
Grot leads work.
Lead 'pops' work.
'Balanced' training works.

They stop a behaviour.

If your friend hurt you every time you sang Happy Birthday, pretty quickly you'd stop singing Happy Birthday

But how would you feel about your friend?

If your friend then gave you cake after hurting you, that might be nice

But how would you feel about your friend?

Sometimes, our dog's behaviour is embarrassing, hard to live with, potentially dangerous, and sometimes things need to change.

But let's be clear.

Aversives hurt your relationship as well as your dog.

Since March I've been a member of the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter as a NICE professional member.

NICE is a member organisation of the UK Dog Charter ensuring the highest welfare standards for canine professionals.

The dog training industry is sadly not regulated and sadly anyone can call themselves a 'Dog Trainer' Being a member of NICE means I'm also committed to a minimum of 40 hours per year CPD.

Week 2 of our Puppy life skill classes 🐾

We had 2 off this week so we just had 2 of us. They both did so well. We looked at Focus, Touch and Middle and did some social skills. Sometimes we said hello, sometimes we walked by and sometimes we played.

We also did some play and enrichment inbetween each learning 🥰

Its arrived Paleo Ridge Raw Dog Food Our raw food journey starts tomorrow.
A good sign that Poppy already seems very interested in it 😁 And Rocko had a good sniff when it was being put away 😁

I've never been keen on raw food but after doing alot of research and reading it's really got me thinking. I want the best for my dogs and want to know exactly what they are eating.
I'm always checking food labels now to find out what's in the dog foods. 𝗦𝗢 on Friday I'm going to be starting our journey onto raw feeding my dogs. It might not be right for them but if I don't try I'll always be wondering. I'm going to be adding it all on here with information too so you can follow us on our journey to raw feeding. Wish me luck 😁
