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 I've watched a few episodes of his show, and in my opinion, he seems to make things up as he goes along, relying on outdated training methods.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

In the morning light, with sleepy eyes
A wagging tail is my sunrise
They steal my socks, they chase their tails,
Ew, look! Another slobbery trail πŸ™Š

They’ve mastered the art of puppy dog eyes,
Begging for treats, oh what a surprise!
They roll in mud, they snuggle near,
Our messy, funny bundles of cheer ❀️

No matter the day, be it good or bad,
A dog’s love is the best we’ve ever had
So here’s to the paws that make life sweet,
Our four-legged friends, always under our feet! 🐾

‼️ We hate coming on here to moan, but this is really important so please read! πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

We had a message recently letting us know that someone had arrived 20 minutes early to a session, unloaded a reactive dog and proceeded to walk down the side of the field while it was in use.

This is absolutely unacceptable, in some circumstances incredibly dangerous and goes against the T&Cs agreed to at the time of booking. The land outside of the field is private property and owned by a local farmer who uses the space for livestock, it must not be used!

Our field is a safe space for ALL dogs to come and enjoy the freedom of being off lead to sniff, to train, for rehab and to feel confident exploring.

Please help us keep it this way πŸ’™

Do you know what you agree to when you book our dog walking field? πŸ€”πŸΆ

We have a few rules to make sure everyone enjoys their session! You can read them all via the link below, but these are a few we've gotten some messages about recently:

⭐️ Please arrive no more than 5 minutes early for your session
Our field is used by reactive dogs, dogs recovering from injury and pups in training. Having cars pull up on the other side of the gates with other excited dogs can be an unwelcome distraction! If you arrive earlier, please hang back until the previous dogs are in their vehicle.

⭐️ Please leave enough time to get your dogs ready to go home
We understand some dogs need a little more encouragement to leave fun places, but it's your responsibility to make sure you're leaving on time and not encroaching on the next session!

⭐️ All dogs must be up to date with flea/worming & immunisations to use our paddock, NO exceptions.
Some preventable illnesses can be caught on any walk / swim / secure field, so please keep up to date with routine healthcare. Remember, if a dog in your household is poorly within 48 hours of your booking we will reschedule your session free of charge!

Thank you for helping us keep Wembury Walkies a safe place for everyone πŸ’™

Attention, pups & people! 🐾✨

We've noticed some impressive holes being excavated across our secure field!

Unfortunately, they pose a risk to other dogs & humans using the field so we've filled them in and hope you'll help us keep our paddock safe by keeping your furry archaeologists away from these spots!
