It is our belief that the best training comes through happy and relaxed relationships, we promote this by using positive reinforcement.

Puppy dog eyes 😍🐶
This little chap was working on his impulse control last night - practicing cues such as "leave", "off", "drop" and recall!

Can your dog walk as nicely as this pair?
Teaching puppies to walk nicely on a lead is an important skill. It keeps both dog and owner safe, as well as making walks more enjoyable!!

🐾Cuteness Alert!🐾
This adorable pair both had puppy 1:2:1 visits this weekend 😍 Puppy visits can be hugely helpful to new owners, giving them the chance to ask all those questions that every new puppy owner has - "Is this normal?", "What are the first steps for house training?", "How do I introduce separation?", "What can I do help stop them nipping?!?"
We can even meet before puppy arrives or before they are able to leave the house - so that you can be prepared in advance! Or we can work on basic training to give your new pup a great start!

Playing recall games with your dog improves their love of coming back to you - which can help with their ability and desire to respond to other recalls too!!

Remember to stick to early morning or late evening dog walks when it's hot. Sometimes it's safer to miss the walk altogether 🥵

Taking your dog on a walk or to places with little or no shade can be fatal during summer. It's important for dog owners to remember… If in doubt, DON’T go out!

Heat-related illnesses in dogs are severe and can lead to organ failure, brain damage and even death 💔

28/07/2024

Well done Sunday pups!! This morning I had a group of pups finish their 6-week course and another group begin theirs!!

The last week of class we always re-cap and test how much pups have learnt over the weeks and my morning class all did amazingly well. The first week of class is all about settling pups into the group - which can be just as difficult but again the puppies did fantastically 🐾🐾

Cuteness alert!!!
Who wouldn't love their job, when you get to work with such cute puppies all the time?!? 😍

Scent work is fun! Getting dogs using their noses is a great way to play with our pups - it also has loads of benefits for our dogs, including giving them mental stimulation, reducing stress and helping calm too!

Puppy classes 🐾

Group puppy courses give pups the best start - they help pups learn basic obedience, help owners understand their pups, introduction puppies to socialisation, as well as helping to build bonds between puppies and their owners too 🐶

17/07/2024

Touch! 🐾
Hand touches are one of the activities we teach puppies in classes 🐶 they can then be used in play as well as for recall and re-focusing too!!

16/07/2024

We have a range of training options available, from group courses and classes to 1:2:1 sessions and behavioural advice 🐶

Well done this lovable lot 🥰🎓
They all graduated yesterday evening with flying colours!!

During the 6-week course we have worked on everything from sitting still, walking nicely, socialising, coming back when called, and calming down.... They have all come on so far 👨‍🎓

Progress isn't always in a straight line!! 🐾

This is one of my favourite images summing up puppy training 😂 We all think that once we've taught our dog something that's done... But there are lots of things that affect our pups behaviour! This includes development, teething, stress levels, over excitement and much much more!!
So rather than looking at their behaviour day-to-day, we should take a step back at look at their behaviour in the long run 🐶

Training for dogs of all shapes and sizes!! 🐾🐾

We have classes for all the different breeds, ages and abilities of dogs - supporting dogs from puppihood right through their lives 🥰

05/07/2024

Puppy play - sometimes they just need to play!!

Play is really important for puppy development and bonding with owners. They can also use play to release tension and help with the pain of teething too 🐾
AND we can use play to train our pups too - using toys as a reward and playing games to encourage impulse control and recall!!

Teaching dogs place names can have so many benefits - from recall and send aways, to lead walking and tricks!!

It's always good to make life more interesting and exciting for our dogs! Today is National Scavenger Hunt Day, so get them working for their food 🐶 The Dogs Trust have lots of great ideas on their website too: https://bit.ly/43yT962 (When using bottle a bottle as enrichment please make sure you supervise your pet)

Look at this girl go 🤩🏅 Super well done to my intermediates, who passed their training with flying colours this morning!!

Recall training! 🤩 There are so many things that can affect recall, it needs to be fun and rewarding for our dogs above everything else. We also need to build up dogs confidence in coming back to us and their ability to ignore distractions - so here is one of the activities we work on in intermediate groups! Recall over obstacles 🐾

This morning my outside group started working on their loose lead walking. They learn lots of elements which help dogs to walk nicely and then tried putting them all together! Here's what the finished product looks like, demonstrated by me and Lena 🐾

Loose lead walking is something lots of dogs (and owners) struggle with - but we can help! We work in this in group class and I also offer one-to-one support for this issue too ☺️

Impulse Control! This is teaching our dogs to want to listen to us, rather than just doing what they want. It is something I always talk about, but it is so important for pups and dogs to understand that it's better to listen to us - if we want them to follow our instructions. 🐶

Puppy socialisation is SO important, but it needs to be done carefully or it can go very wrong. In puppy courses we slowly introduce pups and let them build up confidence and understanding together before letting them play!

This is what doggy love looks like 🥰 snoozing together happily! Happy Valentines Day everyone!

One of the first activities we work on in group courses is getting dogs to stay sitting - this helps them to learn impulse control and means that dogs can be kept safely sat down even when you need to move or turn away, for example when you answer the door.

Look at this pair go! 🤩 This is a skill that can help dogs learn not to run straight at things they want and help us keep them safe.

It's a bit warm for going out on walks or lots of active play (and sadly group classes 🥵). But young dogs especially still need some mental stimulation - teaching simple new tricks or practicing training in a cool room can be perfect for this!! 🐶 So to make up for not running most of my groups this week... Here is a sort video on how to train some simple tricks!

🐶 Practicing our "stop" cue on a sunny afternoon! (It did take a couple of takes off lead though... 😆)

It's going to be super warm tomorrow ☀️ so why not try making some of these healthy doggy ice lollies to help your pet's cope 🐶 #dogtreats #hotdog #dogsofinstagram #doglife #sunnydays #northamptonshire
