We haven't posted any client videos for a while, but this one deserves to be seen. 🤩
Daisy is an online client. She has been working through our pulling on lead course, she has watched the lessons and sought our advice and is now smashing it 😊
Can you get this level of attention from your dog around distractions?
If not you know what to do.......

Genetics!
You'll never get rid of what's hardwired into your dog.
You can manage it though.
Here's a lighthearted warning of what can happen if you don't 🤣🤣🤣

No dessert until you've eaten your greens
Remember that? It's known as grandma's rule.
You have to do what she wants before you get what you want.
And that's the next part of the puzzle.
You'll notice that most trainers only perform something that they've practices time and time again to perfection.
Not me, I'll take you through each step of the process warts and all.
If you aren't learning then I'm not interested and I thinks it's important to remember that nothing happens overnight.
Every time I get Pip out I'm reacting to what she's doing and changing my approach.
Tomorrow we're going to up the heat and start really making some moves. Today though, we're increasing understanding.

Putting it all together
We've covered a lot about play over the last week.
How not to get bitten by accident, how teaching your dog to switch drives will dramatically increase your training success in other areas, how to use play to develop relationship and understanding and much more.
Today's video slows everything down and shows you how to develop a good and enjoyable game for you and your dog.
Tomorrow I'm going ti show you how to use this basic game to transform your dogs obedience.
Let me know what you think below and don't forget to show your love by liking this post.
Thanks everyone,

I've been bitten....hundreds of times by getting this wrong.
Hi folks, really happy with the response we're getting from these videos on play/drive.
I hope you're starting to realise that playing with your dog is a much deeper subject than it appears on the surface.
It's one of my biggest gripes with dog trainers. They all tell you to be more interesting, to play with your dog etc but none of them tell you how - generally it's because they don't know!
In this video I explain in more detail actually what's going in when I'm playing with my dogs. How I give them a great workout without tiring myself too much and how I avoid accidental bites when playing with intense dogs.
Meet Patsy. I hope you like her 😊❤

I wondered why yesterday's video flopped 🤣
Here's the full version 🙈
MY DOG WONT PLAY - JUST NOT INTERESTED IN TOYS!
Good evening everyone. Thanks so much for the response to the last few videos I've posted.
If you've got a dog that won't play or who doesn't find play more interesting than the distraction in the environment - this one's for you 😉
I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and last night I hurt my knee (just strapped it up for this video, and forgot to do up my flies...apologies 🤣)
Now, I find most of my sessions at jiu jitsu really good fun and then occasionally it's really not that nice.
The good outweighs the bad and so I keep on going.
If you played chess but got beat every single time, it wouldn't be long before you just stopped playing. Right?
So, if you've got a dog that won't play or doesn't play strongly enough I want you to think if you might be the reason why.
Enjoy folks and stick your questions down below 😊

It's like a red mist comes down!
If you're struggling with your dog having an obsession that you don't like and you can't interrupt it, this one's for you 😘
Drive. If its in the right place and under control its the most useful tool in dog training.
If its in the wrong place and unchecked then it'll ruin your life.
One things for sure though, with the right approach its always possible to control it.
Pip literally has more drive for this toy than anything else in her life. Imagine if that level of intensity was aimed at a person, a dog, a bike, a car, a squirrel or anything else.
Even I'd struggle to get it under control unless....
....I taught her how to switch drives/states.
Its easy when you know how and if you need help, I want to talk with you

Are you frustrated with elements of your dogs behaviour?
Well, here's a secret, dog trainers often feel the same.

My dog won't take food!?!
We hear it time and time again.
I've actually never met a dog who won't take food.
I've met loads that couldn't even see that food was being offered though because they were so locked on to the distraction.
It's all irrelevant though.
If a dog will only behave because you can distract it with food then it'll all fall apart when it's not hungry or you forget your treat bag.
All dogs are capable of behaving the way you desire without the need for food.
You just haven't found a trainer who knows how to achieve it....YET

Does size matter?!
They often say that smaller dogs have 'big dog mentality'
The reality is though that owning a small dog with reactivity issues is just as difficult as owning a bigger dog.
Of course, some people find it easier to actually manage because they are able to simply hold on however
owning any dog that is reactive severely limits your ability to live a normal life with your dog.
It becomes very apparent just how much difficulty reactivity causes when you compare the way you are living to the way you imagined you would live once you were a dog owner.
Most people got a dog because they dreamt of long relaxing countryside walks, going with their dog to family BBQ's and maybe the pub at the weekend.
The reality is though that life with a reactive dog almost reduces the chances of these things to zero.
Q. How can you relax if you're always on the look out for the next distraction which your dog will react to?
A. You can't!
If you're struggling with reactivity and would like your life back then we have a few options for you.

Excited greeters!!
Most of the videos we share are of highly reactive dogs that are full of barking, growling, teeth and flying slobber.
We aren't always working with that type of dog though.
Often we are working with dogs that are termed 'excited greeters'
Whilst the consequences of owning an excited greeter don't seem so bad the reality is that such behaviours are very dangerous to live with and need getting under control asap.
Being pulled off your feet, dragged across roads, physical injury, bolting to other dogs when off lead and more....
Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it won't

It's not just the big ones!
We get asked all the time if we have worked with various different breeds.
People tend to think that unless you find a trainer who specialises in your particular dogs breed then you won't find success.
The reality though is that somebody can have worked with hundreds of dogs of your dogs breed but if they haven't solved your specific problem then it's irrelevant.
Tell us below what breed of dog you are struggling with....

Rescue dogs from overseas 😲😲
At WKD we see rescue dogs that have come from abroad on a very regular basis.
Almost without exception we are tasked with either solving reactivity or extreme nervousness.
Before you read on, if you haven't already, register for our reactivity webinar this Saturday morning
https://fb.watch/c_6eyWlDxz/
Why is it so common that rescues from have such issues?
Well the the answer is fairly complex but usually the dogs are either strays who have lived free range on the streets or they are ex hunting dogs who have been discarded.
In both cases, the dog, who's spent it's life running free or in a kennels rather than a home is forced into a situation where it needs to start living in a home an go down the street on lead.
As a free ranging dog it had the choice to move away from things that made it nervous. Now it has nowhere to go and so the nervousness turns into panic or the nervousness turns into reactivity.
Luckily it's easily sorted when you know how.
If you're struggling with your dog's nervous or reactive behaviour then you know what to do....get in touch!!
12/05/2022
Struggling with reactivity?
Tried rewards, being more exciting, taught a middle command or watch me?
It's no wonder you're still struggling really.
If it was as easy as putting a piece of chicken on your dogs nose we wouldn't be in business.
At WKD we want the difficult ones, its what we thrive on, in fact, we love the challenge!
Our money back guarantee gets owners who've 'tried it all' back out of the woodwork to finally begin enjoying their life with their dog.
If you're struggling with your dog and are serious about living a better life together drop me a comment below or send us a message.

I'll be pi$$ed off if it works!!🤬
Well it's the first time I've heard a client say that before...
You'd be amazed how many owners I meet who've been aware of WKD for a long time....
but decided to try elsewhere first.
It makes sense right?
Well kinda.... I guess...🤔🤭
If most of our clients knew what they know when they started their dog training journey they'd have taken the plunge at the start.
But you don't know.
A dog trainer is a dog trainer is a dog trainer...right?
Wrong.
I understand that a four hour car drive and £695 sounds like a lot of money but...
When you compare it to £2000 on wasted training and 2 years of struggle it sounds like a bargain to me.
Especially when it comes with FREE access to WKD Online, tailored training reminders and a money back guarantee!!
If you're struggling with your dog....there's one thing you should do immediately.

MASSIVEAMUTE!!
Look at this.....60KG of Alaskan Malamute!
Numerous trainers, numerous episodes of owners being dragged across the floor on their faces, numerous closed doors!
I know we all love a good 'before' video however, whilst some people think I get them for drama, the real reason is that I need to know what we are dealing with and where we are in the process as we move forwards.
In this instance, I didn't need to see it, the glimpses that I got showed me enough and the reality of this huge dog just deciding he was ready to head in a certain direction was all the justification I needed to just crack on and get the job done.
Now, many of you know me personally or through our online platforms and you'll also know that I see many owners who've 'tried it all'
Well the owners of this dog had been 'told it all' but nobody had actually shown them.
Our One2One consultations are different https://wkd-uk.com/one-one-dog-training-courses/
There's one hell of a difference between walking the walk and being able to talk it and whilst I don't feel this will be the last I see of this lovely boy and his wonderfully dedicated owners who travelled and are prepared to travel all the way from Dorset again to see me to allow them and their boy a great life together I'm very happy with the results we go during our short session together.
What's your excuse?
Too far away?
Tried it all?

Demonic Doberman!
Handler gets bit!
Problems get resolved!
I'd like everybody to give a shout out to this young man.
He had dreamt of owning a Doberman for many years and finally got his chance. Unfortunately, as is often the case, from the breeders to the trainers they have seen he has been failed by the system.
Following numerous bites through redirected aggression, recommendations of put to sleep, rehome and sedation they reached out to WKD to see if we could help.
Most of you would think that my job is training dogs, it's not, it's training humans BUT
Before I can do that, I have to first gain their trust.
They've been given bad advice, shown the wrong way, been blamed and worse.
Now don't get me wrong, I see the rough end of the dog world. I see the dogs and owners when its all gone wrong, when nobody can help...when it's last chance saloon.
The problem is, I revel in this work so much that sometimes I forget the important things...in this case, I forgot to have my microphones charged and so I can't share some of the absolute gems of advice that were given during this session.
I'd really appreciate it if you could all show your love for this dog and his dedicated handler
The didn't give me excuses - They just got stuck in and got sorted.
All the time I see people commenting on our posts saying;
My dogs much worse
My dog won't take treats though
My dog got attacked
My dog missed socialisation
My dog lived in a crate for months
My dog left its mum too early...
They are all great excuses but that's exactly what they are. If you're comfortable letting yourself, your family and your dog live a less than ideal life because of an arbitrary reason then that's fine, I'm not here to convince you.....
If you're ready though, ready to make the change and live the life you imagined with your dog then I'm here and waiting.
Simply drop us a message.
It's £995, guaranteed results, free return if required, access to WKD Online included and ongoing support.
Sounds like a lot of money? How much have you wasted elsewhere with nothing to show for it?

Here’s a clip of Lucy from this morning practicing recall with head trainer Cassey.
Lucy isn’t really that motivated by food so for recall we’ve been using the ball as her reward. As you can see now Lucy has something that really motivates her, her recall is now getting much quicker and more reliable.
If your struggling to motivate your dog for recall why not try using a toy!

Following numerous bites through redirected aggression, recommendations of put to sleep, rehome and sedation they reached out to WKD to see if we could help. Most of you would think that my job is training dogs, it's not, it's training humans BUT Before I can do that, I have to first gain their trust. They've been given bad advice, shown the wrong way, been blamed and worse. Now don't get me wrong, I see the rough end of the dog world. I see the dogs and owners when its all gone wrong, when nobody can help...when it's last chance saloon. The problem is, I revel in this work so much that sometimes I forget the important things...in this case, I forgot to have my microphones charged and so I can't share some of the absolute gems of advice that were given during this session. I'd really appreciate it if you could all show your love for this dog and his dedicated handler The didn't give me excuses - They just got stuck in and got sorted. All the time I see people commenting on our posts saying; My dogs much worse My dog won't take treats though My dog got attacked My dog missed socialisation My dog lived in a crate for months My dog left its mum too early... They are all great excuses but that's exactly what they are. If you're comfortable letting yourself, your family and your dog live a less than ideal life because of an arbitrary reason then that's fine, I'm not here to convince you..... If you're ready though, ready to make the change and live the life you imagined with your dog then I'm here and waiting. Simply drop us a message. It's £995, guaranteed results, free return if required, access to WKD Online included and ongoing support.
Struggling with recall?
Here’s a clip of Lucy from this morning practicing recall with head trainer Cassey. Lucy isn’t really that motivated by food so for recall we’ve been using the ball as her reward. As you can see now Lucy has something that really motivates her, her recall is now getting much quicker and more reliable. If your struggling to motivate your dog for recall why not try using a toy!

Our Story
“If you wish to experience the joys of dog ownership then you simply will not find a more experienced, conscientious, knowledgeable and customer focused team in our area of expertise” - Matthew Wiggins
Our clients love their dogs and our training results!
Over the past five years we have moved further away from conventional concepts and training than we ever imagined. We made this move as we learnt how incorrect the mainstream approach to breed generalizations, training exercises and techniques really are. The majority of Dog owners live a life of compromise due to an incorrect temperament match and lack of effective training due to time constraints, ability, inclination and knowledge. As a result the majority of Dogs also live a life of compromise.
WKD began trading as a supplier of temperament tested, young adult dogs, for specialist work with government agencies on an international level. We also offered residential remedial training for family dogs which had severe issues and which displayed behaviours which were proving problematic for their owners. WKD was often, and still remains the last chance for these special dogs and their owners who were often on the verge of re home or more drastic measures.
Following the success of our residential training courses, and armed with a real world view of the stresses that are associated with owning a difficult dog and the risks encountered with trying to correctly select and raise your own puppy, we spent the following few years beginning to develop the concept of fully trained dogs, which were to be stringently selected as well rounded, happy, intelligent and biddable dogs destined to become the perfect, fully trained family companion regardless of the owners requirements.
We have quickly, through a proven track record and a constant striving for improvement, secured our place as the supplier of choice for professional couples, young families, single executives, the elderly, wheelchair users, those with learning difficulties, charitable ventures and government organisations around the world who are longing for a healthy, well mannered, obedient companion who will enhance their quality of life, in a cost and time efficient manner without exposure to the many risks associated with going it alone.
First and foremost the whole team at WKD are dog lovers. In keeping with our mission to improve the lives of dogs and people around the world despite rapid expansion in the area of fully trained family companions we continue to offer residential services to clients who are struggling with their own dogs. We make monthly charitable donations to dog related organisations whilst endeavouring to assist at least one dog and it’s owner each month who would not usually have the resources available to enlist our services.
In 2014 we became, to our knowledge the first organisation ever to be chosen as the supplier of health screened, temperament tested and obedience trained young adult dogs for ongoing training with a guide dog charity. This work was extremely rewarding and allowed us to further extend our reach by playing a valuable part in improving the lives of those with impaired vision. The initial supply of five dogs resulted in an additional three dogs supplied in early 2015. We are looking forward to further building relationships in this area of specialist work.
Late 2014 also saw us after a brief break, return to our roots when we secured the rights for the sole supply of temperament tested, young dogs, for general purpose Police and Prison duties with four separate organisations in the UK. Again, as with the guide dogs, this is a first time achievement and has never been done before.
As you will see when you browse our website and read our clients testimonials, WKD Trained Dogs have a proven and extremely successful reputation for selecting, matching, training and supplying you with your perfect canine companion regardless of your needs.
To supply you with your perfect dog, we use three simple but highly skilled and specialised steps which enable us to exceed our clients expectations time and time again.
Profile Creation & Selection
Fully understanding your requirements and exceeding your expectations is the key to our success. We have spent many years developing a unique process which allows us to work with you to gain a proper and fair representation of your likes, dislikes, wishes, expectations and training requirements for your new family member. Correctly establishing a profile for your individual dogs temperament and energy levels, which is tailored to your personal situation is the first and most important step in the process. Without this initial step we are unable and not prepared to move forwards.
With your dogs newly created profile as reference, we are able to give you details and let you meet a number of dogs within your breed, colour and gender preference, which fit your criteria for temperament and energy levels. Based on our discussions with you and your family, if we do not have the right dog available, we will begin to temperament test other available dogs which fit your requirements. A very small percentage of the dogs we view will successfully pass our stringent temperament test and we will not, under any circumstance show complacency in the selection process.
Starting with the right dog is of the upmost importance. An incorrect match of energy level is the most common reason for dogs being re-homed, and we pay much attention to ensuring that we have a correct fit in this area. Now, with potential dogs in mind, the final choice is yours. We realise that your chosen dog will be living in your home and not ours, it is essential that you are happy and have a great connection with the dog before we continue on to the next stage.
Preparation
With such a strong and versatile team of staff, we have every base covered when it comes to training. From obedient family companions, to family protection dogs. From toilet training to grooming we are perfectly set up to prepare and tailor train your new dog to your personal requirements. Regardless of your environment or specific needs, we expose your dog to each element of your lifestyle whilst teaching him or her advanced obedience, toilet and crate training and house manners. Your dog will be used to travelling in vehicles and thoroughly socialised in all environments that you will encounter. In addition to our standard training, we will further tailor your new companion to perfectly suit your needs. We can get your dog used to train travel, your other pets or to accompany you to the office…..the list goes on. Whatever you require from a dog, WKD will be able to help.
