Social media has become the place to post a small segment of an incident or process so the posting party can use it to serve their own narrative. Maybe if they posted the whole thing people could make their own minds up and make an informed decision that suits their own values and ethical approach.
This is unfortunately a marketing strategy for so many dog trainers in this industry at the moment. It is dishonest and misleading. Morals and ethics encompass everything we do in life and says a lot about the person we are, not just the methodology of training we adopt.🙏🏼🐾❤️
A chilled environmental exposure session with Kirby while in North Yorkshire.❤️🐾
I was asked this question about loose lead walking again recently so I thought I would repost this video.
Some environmental settling training with Kirby in the local pub while having a meal 🐾
In this video Neil demonstrates how to teach your new dog or puppy that the word “yes” in this instance, predicts the provision of food. This is known as a secondary or conditioned reinforcer or marker. Markers can help you improve you timing when rewarding/reinforcing a behaviour in training.

💡🐾 HELP PREVENT OVER-AROUSAL AND FRUSTRATION 🐾💡
Over arousal and frustration are the two most common contributors to many of the unwanted behaviours displayed by our companion dogs.
Providing your dog with breed specific outlets will help reduce arousal and frustration through physical exercise and by fulfilling their genetic drives.
So what is an outlet? Well it is different to enrichment. Some people are led to believe they are one and the same but this isn’t the case.
Enrichment is when you provide your dog with something nice, fun or relaxing to do, which they undoubtedly enjoy but, it does very little to fulfil their genetic needs. Unless of course your dog was bred to lick peanut butter off a licky mat that is 🤷🏼♂️🤣.
Outlets are activities that you provide your dog where they not only express natural dog behaviours, but more importantly genetic and breed specific behaviours. This can strengthen your relationship with your dog as you provide the outlets that they need. Your dog will no longer be motivated to find alternative outlets away from you. This can aid your recall reliability and loose lead walking.
Here is a video of Kirby and I engaging in an outlet for his hunting dog breeding using a ball. He absolutely loves searching and retrieving. He also enjoys a good old game of tug. However, this is more enrichment and exercise rather than a genetic focussed outlet for Kirby.
