- Dog Walking services During my study and practices in canine training and behavior I ensure that the methods I use are ethical, force free, modern and positive; rather than outdated and aversive. To me, the use

of positive reinforcement is the most beneficial, ethical and successful way for canines learn, build confidence and not only support their physical health but also considers their psychological health. By making training fun and positive, we can increase the behaviors we do want from our canines, as well as reduce the unwanted behaviors.

Visited Feadon Wildlife and Education Centre today for my birthday 🎂
Such an amazing day out, walking reindeer, feeding the meercats, porcupines, reptiles and birds. And learning so much about a variety of species.
Highlight of the day was getting to fly an owl called Sebastian and a harris hawke called Tony. Much like our dogs, they are taught to fly and flight paths using positive reinforcement.
Such a fantastic day, evan though a reindeer did kick me and a meercat bite my finger 🤣

☔️ ALL CLASSES AND LESSONS ARE POSTPONED FOR TOMORROW☔️

The following message has been sent out to all clients booked in tomorrow.

Hi Guys. Once again we have a yellow and amber weather warning tomorrow, with gale force winds over 60mph. I've also had several concerned messages from clients this morning, so for safety reasons i have taken the decision to postpone the session.

🚨 Please could each of you respond to this email so I know you have all got this message.

This Saturdays sessions will therefore be postponed to the following week at the usual times. An additional week will be added to the end of the course, so you will still get the full number of sessions'

Fran 🐾

See you all next week 🤞
