Wellbeing walks 🐾
Join us in the forest for a lovely relaxing wellbeing walk, where we will help you to teach and encourage slow walking, calm and relaxed behaviour and a peaceful environment. We will reduce frantic activity and movement and try to ensure your dogs are able to enjoy a calm and comfortable walk without any heavy panting, tense body language or rushing around. Remaining relaxed and steady means that are dogs are better able to cope with any distractions or enjoy some calm and relaxed social interactions 🩷🐾 #ethicaldog #EthicalDogTraining #dogbehaviour #dogbehaviourist #dogbehaviourtraining #dogtraining #cannockchaseforest #cannockchase
Assistance dog training trip to Alton Towers
I might be an assistance dog trainer but it’s still ever so daunting starting over training again with a new dog for my own needs. My little rescue girl started accompanying me to work with clients earlier in the year and she started learning skills and tasks to help me teach clients … and then she just fell into her new role of training to help me with my disability very naturally 🥰 her temperament is incredible and with patience, kindness and trust we have been able to work together really well and she is progressing absolutely brilliantly. We have spent many months training in mostly dog friendly venues and for very short periods but today she went to her first theme park 😊 she was engaged and interested but still calm and steady and relaxed and she strutted around tail up and confident and as always enjoyed observing everything around her from my lap 😁 we also did a few training skills including walking next to my wheelchair, settling on her mat and stays and a bit of taskwork too (and an unplanned medical alert on the way home!) but luckily for her our local theme park is 90% beautiful forest, lake, and stunning gardens 😍 so she had lots of lovely breaks sniffing around quiet areas, exploring the forest and gardens and snoozing on the grass in the sunshine! ☀️ we only stayed for a couple of hours due to my own medical issues but she was fast asleep on the way home. It was definitely a big success and a confidence boost for me too! My little scraggy rescue girl all grown up and helping me to safely access different places 🩷 #assistancedog #assistancedogintraining #sherescuedme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #theethicalapproach #ethicaldog

One, two, three 🤣 where one goes the others follow!
It’s so good for them to have lovely social relationships, easy interactions and communication with their closest friends, and of course to learn from eachother too
It can be tiring for dogs to be meeting and interacting with strange dogs everyday, and not all dog owners allow interaction at all
But building up relationships and meeting with a dog friend, a dog that they know well and that can understand each others needs, communication style and boundaries, is so good for their social needs and general wellness 🩷

I love to see a good dog shake 🤣🩷🐾
Our Labrador is a retired medical alert assistance dog, he is currently living his best life during his senior years 😍
He loves to find nice scents to roll his whole body and neck in and then he jumps up for a nice shake off. He always looks so satisfied with himself afterwards!
Do your dogs enjoy a good roll? 🐾🌲
We are based in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire and specialise in getting your working assistance dog out into nature, training off lead skills, social skills including dog-dog relationships and confidence building and encouraging natural behaviours for a happy and healthy working life 👌🏼

10 years young and enjoying a nice run around just as he should be 🩷👌🏼 lots of free time and natural movement and sniffing and exploration to keep him in great condition 🥰 looking forward to learning lots more about dog physiology, anatomy and movement on my #galenmyotherapy full diploma course to keep all of our doggos, and our clients doggos feeling good, physically fit and healthy 🐾 #ethicaldog #ethicaldogtraining #assistancedogs #assistancedogsuk #dogaid #assistancedogintraining #dogcare #dogwellness #caninerehabilitation #caninemyotherapy
Little Harmony making new friends 🐩 I love her little excited run at the end 🤣
For some disabled people and their assistance dogs they prefer for people to not distract their dogs but for some of us we are perfectly happy to meet other people on our journey and give our dogs the choice to approach and say hello 🩷
I prefer people don’t touch Harmony whilst on my lap, or when she’s resting or napping as she has less space to make choices and move away but when she’s on her long lead or off lead it’s lovely when people and dogs say hi and she has the space to choose to approach and interact in her own way 😊
We support disabled handlers and their assistance dogs focusing on relationships, confidence building and encouraging natural dog behaviours 🩷🫶🏻 find out more below

Our new little rescue girl Harmony, taking it all in on her walk today! Observing other walkers from a distance to help her to learn and process 🥰 she also had a lovely run and playtime with my Aunts two dogs, first time they had met and she was so confident and comfortable around them 🩷 it is only her second walk as she has only been here for a week so we are slowly introducing her to new places and experiences.

Happy helping out in the garden today #assistancedog #disabilityawareness #ethicaldogtraining #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourist #findinghappiness
This lads favourite thing in the world is to snuffle around in the forest, find the bestest stink … and then take it home for later 🤣😂
Our dogs noses are so incredibly powerful, they explore their world through scent and can find out valuable information about other dogs and animals and all sorts of things when they stop to sniff
Often we try to hurry them on, but our dogs walks should be the time where they get to explore and enjoy the outdoors and be themselves 💕
Let your dogs sniff! Let your dogs roll 🥰 enjoy the happy smile on their faces when they get back up again 😁
Happy dogs and happy owners 🐩🐾 building your understanding of your dogs needs and improving your relationship, check out our website if you need help with your dog

Another beautiful early morning in the sunshine in the beautiful UK heatwave 🌞🥰
We are lucky enough to live right next to the forest where it’s lovely and cool under the large trees 🌲 so we went for a short sniffy play session this morning. Playtime in the garden, or just a rest day in the house is absolutely fine too 🌷🏡
Try not to judge too quickly if you do see someone outside walking their dog, as some of them might just be taking a quick toilet trip, as not everyone has a garden space for the dogs toilet 🐾
If you do manage to get out to a safer environment try to just let them sniff and explore small areas instead of walking or running about.
Today we did an on lead treat hunt in the grass instead of going for a walkies and the dogs really enjoyed sniffing and searching 💕 you can set this up in the garden too, lots of dogs love sniffing out a few treats 🌿

Enjoy the sounds of the forest in this lovely calm video 🌳🌲 here is little Happy, two year old toy poodle, having a lovely calm sniff and then coming back for an automatic check in with me before she goes back to exploring ❤️
I am just waiting patiently for her to finish exploring her scent filled world without interrupting her and she soon chooses to come see where I am 🥰
These beautiful low pressure and low demand check ins keep us connected and working with each other in a calm peaceful silence, without disturbing each other, so that we can both relax and enjoy the environment safely together 💕
