Harnesses do they create pulling or not when lead walking? It’s not the tool that you’re using that creates a pull, but that the dog has not been taught a good enough lead walking position and doesn’t have the right understanding of what you want them to do. With harnesses it can automatically place the dog in front of you which then creates an angle on the lead which the dog then pulls against. However, with just a collar the dog can pull against this and end up choking themselves. Ultimately lead walking position needs to be created to stop pulling. What lead walking set up do you use?? Comment ‘Harness’ to see our next video of about lead walking in a harness 👌 #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainer #dogtraining

Shut the f&@k Up! Do you or your dog get anxious when you’re out on a walk? Do you then try to talk yourself through that anxiety, or start chatting away to your dog because you think it’s helping their anxiety? Well stop and shut the f&@k up! We say this because our dogs are so in tune with our feelings, they already know your anxious as the can smell the change in your hormones, they don’t then need to hear the anxiety in your voice too! This will only make their anxiety worse and you both spiral 🌀 So if you’re feeling anxious, then keep quiet, get yourselves in to a more comfortable environment and relax before having a natter 🤫 #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips

Engagement, we hear trainers go on and on about this, but what can be used to help increase engagement from our dogs?- Food- Toys- Play- Obedience- Tone - Movement. What gets your dog engaged?

Struggling with recall? Well what’s in it for the dog? Let’s think about it for a moment in terms of the dog, why should they come back, have you created a reason for them to want to come back? We’re not saying it’s all about treats, but by giving them something positive each time they come in then they will want to come back to you, we need to stop expecting and start creating, develop a relationship and train👌What positive do you give your dog for recalling? #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining

Cane Corso or should we say XL bully on steroids??! Here we go again with the tabloids running stories and scaremongering about the next breed of dog that should be banned. How many times do we have to say it’s not the breed of dog but the people that own them that’s the problem. When would it be right in any other situation to blame and punish the majority for the minority?? As owners of a Cane Corso we said that this breed would be targeted next, but we need to solve the problem from the root, not just keep banning breeds because where dies it stop 😡😤

London Pet Show Live 2025 - who’s coming?? We will be attending on 20th & 21st September 2025, taking place at Olympia in London. We will have the team there for you to meet, a stall so you can chat about any training issues, as well as doing demonstrations and talks on both days in the Pet Activity Arena 🐾. We hope to see you there! https://londonpetshowlive.com

Should We Be Cuddling Dogs? The Surprising Truth Our advice? No. And here’s why. While cuddling might seem harmless or sweet, not all dogs enjoy it. Dogs are individuals; many don’t naturally find close physical contact comforting. Instead, some may feel restrained, anxious, or even threatened. If a dog reacts negatively, like growling or snapping—it’s often labelled as “aggressive.” But in reality, they may just be expressing discomfort. Sadly, it’s the dog that often pays the price, even though the situation could have been avoided. As humans, we’re in a position of privilege, and it’s our responsibility to respect a dog’s boundaries. Always read their body language and ensure interactions are positive for both parties. What’s your take? Should we cuddle dogs, or should we let them decide? #DogBehavior #RespectTheDog #ReactiveDogs #DogBodyLanguage #ResponsibleDogOwnership #DogsOfInstagram

The ONLY Recall Video You’ll Ever Need! Struggling with recall? Here’s some extra tips: 1️⃣ Start Indoors: Pair your recall word with something positive. Reward your dog every time they respond! 2️⃣ Move to the Garden: Once they’ve mastered it inside, practice in a controlled outdoor space. 3️⃣ Take It Outside: Gradually introduce distractions. Consistency is key! Keep practising, and soon your dog will know that coming to you always means good things. How’s your recall training going?
