30/01/2025

Did you know that before I taught dogs, I taught humans? I have a PGCE from Northumbria University and spent a few years teaching in schools around the North East. I also have qualifications in psychology and counselling. I feel like all of these things have helped to set me off on the right path in the world of dog training! Because, after years of study in [and experience with different examples of] learning and development theories - both the human and canine kind - I feel like I have a solid and mindful pedagogy, andragogy and cynology, which is growing as I do...
๐Ÿพ
I will never claim to have completely 'mastered' dog training, because I will never stop learning and bettering myself through CPD! There is always more to learn and higher to reach. But my studies and achievements so far - from VSA, IMDT, BCCS and more - help me to be confident in the level of knowledge that I share as a professional trainer.
๐Ÿพ
As most of you will know, being a dog training instructor often involves training the owners! So it's been incredibly helpful to have that first hand teaching experience from my PGCE, along with the genuine desire to help and support fellow animal lovers. ๐Ÿ’š
๐Ÿพ
Just remember - if you're choosing a trainer for your dog, you're also choosing a teacher for yourself!

๐Ÿšจ*PSA*๐Ÿšจ - I wanted to share something that happened to me recently - luckily all involved were absolutely fine so don't worry! I just keep thinking of how it could've been absolutely not okay under different circumstances...
๐Ÿพ
Most people who know me or have spoken to me know that I don't really like Flexi-style extendable leashes, for a few reasons (I much prefer a long training line). But now and again I will use one, under very particular circumstances: most of all that the dog on the end of the Flexi leash actually does have good recall, loose leash and heel walking cues and that the dog is 'friendly' (does not pose a threat to other dogs or humans).
๐Ÿพ
Now on to what happened! -
A person and their small dog went to pass us. I called back the dog I was walking in order to give them more space. 'My' dog ran over to me because they respond to recall ๐Ÿฅฐ and SOMEHOW in the process of me trying to shorten and 'lock' the leash shorter, it tangled. The line somehow tied itself to a rope-like attachment that was attached to the back of the handle (see images). This meant that the line could not retract into the handle (or extend further). It was suddenly stuck at about 10 feet of 'space'. In our situation we were absolutely fine and safe because we have been training and socialising... but I couldn't help thinking about scenarios where this could've ended very differently for those involved. This could've been a dog with no recall or leash skills facing a busy road of traffic! Or a reactive dog totally over threshold who poses a threat to an innocent smaller dog... or worse. If this had happened to the leash in those situations then there would be nothing to save the dog from the road, or save the innocent from the dog.
๐Ÿพ
Please let me know the answer to any of these if you get a moment! :
Have you ever encountered an issue with a Flexi leash? Do you combine a Flexi leash with training/walk skills? How do you shorten the leash if the dog is pulling at the end of it? Do you use the locking and unlocking method?

Sharing this post by 'From the Dogs Point of View' as it has so much important information to consider in these weather conditions!

'STAY SAFE EVERYONE โค๏ธ

As is now upon us, please do take extra precautions to keep yourself and your dogs safe.

๐ŸถCheck your fences before letting your dog in the garden

๐Ÿถ If you must go for a walk, keep your dog on a lead, keep your walk short & local to home if possible

๐Ÿถ If your dog is nervous/fearful go into the garden with them to toilet, popping them on a lead can help them feel safer (if they are able to have a lead on of course)

๐Ÿถ Playing music can help mask the sounds of the storm & help your dog relax

๐Ÿถ Make sure your dog has a den they can hide in if they want to, ideally in a room where you are if your dog seeks you out for security/reassurance - Tramp seeks out den spaces in stormy weather, he NEEDS to be under something - he has 3 to choose from so he can get under something no matter what room I'm in as he also wants to be close to me.

๐Ÿถ Go ahead and reassure or comfort your dogs if that's what they need or seek from you - you will not reinforce their fear - they need your support so be there for them in whatever way they need. (although avoid being overly fussy, anxious, just keep things calm & normal)

๐Ÿถ Talk them through anything they're hearing that is unsettling them. When you see them alert to a noise, or the wind rattling - calmly explain to them 'It's ok, it's just the wind, or it's just a bin falling over etc.' Your calm 'matter of fact' explanation can go a long way to helping your dog feel reassured.

Thinking of everyone in Ireland, the North and Scotland who will be bearing the brunt of this storm - stay safe guys โค๏ธ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ'

Some of you may remember this gorgeous pup? ๐Ÿ˜ Teddy has earned his Behaviour Certificate today! ๐ŸŽ“ He has done so well with a number of behaviours that a lot of dogs and puppies would struggle to overcome, making us all very proud! His leash skills came along very quickly, but he sometimes struggles if someone that he is walking with runs in front of him. However, today Teddy was able to walk to my heel whilst his owner ran ahead, as well as multiple times when I ran ahead, made eye contact with him and spoke! He also checked in and came to us multiple times when called away from playing freely with another pup, great recall under distraction. I am proud of his owner today for being able to display good understanding and deployment of multiple FF/+R training methods/approaches to achieve the desired behaviours from Teddy. Good going team Teddy, keep moving on up! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Congratulations to gorgeous little Bungle for graduating from Puppy Skills training today! ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ… Bungle has demonstrated that he is now able to complete a range of skills when asked including 'come', 'sit', 'wait' and 'leave'. He even learnt a couple of new skills during our session! He is developing his heel walking and leash manners next, in order to achieve his Behaviour Certificate! Scroll to see how happy he was to be training and give us a 'like' if you'd like to give Bungle a high-five! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Such lovely words and a perfect dedication to Karen Pryor from Victoria. ๐Ÿ–ค Karen Pryor was an absolute inspiration to the best of us and a legend in her own time. She will be a huge miss I am sure; but her work, including such an important message of kindness in building communicating and living alongside our companion animals in harmony, lives on.

Congratulations to Chase on achieving his Behaviour Certificate today! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ•
Chase has developed lots of useful skills that have helped him to become a much better behaved pooch at home! He used to be very mouthy with his human younger siblings and his owners were getting worried; but he learned to stop using his teeth, keep his paws on the floor and to move away - now he is interacting with them very nicely, even without needing to be reminded! He has also improved in other ways around the house and is working on his recall on walks! Well done Chase and family โค๏ธ
