🍼 Dogs and Babies 🍼
Scoobie had suffered with severe separation anxiety previously, and his owners have worked hard to get him comfortable being left. They signed up for WhatsApp training when they found out they were expecting a new addition to the family so that they could make it as easy as possible for Scoobie. They've all done brilliantly, as this lovely update shows ❤️

11/04/2024

So it's been a while! At the moment I'm only running telephone consultations and training via WhatsApp, but that doesn't mean inferior results. All training is 100% personalised to you and your dog.

Take Blaze, this stunning Irish Setter. All about his nose, easily distracted, pulled like a train - and not very interested in treats. He was very strong and not easy to walk. We used sniffs and mooching as a reward for listening in and slowing down instead of trying to lure him into position. Look at him now! He'll even take a snack now he's less frantic ❤️

🌱Special Sprout🌱
Sprout is an adolescent pupster who has been training via WhatsApp since she joined her family. Today she went dog friendly shopping - and was a total star! Rather than being a juvenile delinquent she settled beautifully, said hello to people calmly, waited patiently while her owners ate and was an all round good gal!

❤️ Huntaway Hounds ❤️
This gorgeous gang are a big mix, including Huntaway crosses who are super bright and quite loud! They are learning to listen when asked and to move to the kitchen when they hear the doorbell rather than running to the door and barking. Training multiple dogs in the same household can be tricky but it's definitely possible! If you could use some help just let us know ☺️

🐾 Darling Delyth 🐾
Delyth is quite worried by other dogs and sudden noises, so we are working to build her confidence. She's doing really well, and is already barking less when she sees dogs (and even had a cheeky sniff of one the other day!). What a brave girl!

🐶 Doggy Skills 🐶
Your dog's behaviour and what they enjoy doing is the product of how they are raised and, crucially but often overlooked, their breeding. Terriers often like to chase and shake their toys, Beagles stick their nose to the ground and go off independently, Huskies "sing" and run and run and run, and Labradors like to carry stuff around. Use this to your advantage! When choosing an activity or exercise, one your dog is inherently programmed to do could be great fun for both of you. Here's Minnow - she's a six month old Lab x Springer, and although very unlikely to ever work as a gundog absolutely LOVES keeping her paw in!

💕 Darling Dot 💕
Dot is a recent rescue from a puppy farm and is struggling with separation anxiety. She's only young but is a big girl, so we're.working hard on getting her relaxed being left so that the house stays intact. She's done really well so far with settling nicely in her crate and not shadowing her owner around the house. This is big progress for a dog who trashed the joint before starting training!

02/05/2022

🧞‍♂️🪄 Training Dreams 🪄🧞‍♂️
What are your training dreams? Is there something you see other dogs doing and wish your dog could do it too? That might be to walk on lead without pulling, or it might be more advanced (here's Minnow working on some gundog skills around general park distractions - sit and wait, then retrieve to hand...mmm slobber 🤤). Whatever it is, we can help!

🐶🏠 Are you able to foster a dog? 🏠🐶
Barney's small breed rescue are desperate for new foster homes in order to help dogs who really need to come into rescue. They include these cuties - a really active Patterdale x and this gorgeous chunk of a Staffy who has bad separation anxiety but is a total doll in every other way. At the moment the rescue can't take them in as there's nowhere for them to go. All care bills are covered by the rescue while a dog is with you. If you think you might possibly be able to help these or other dogs in the future please have a look at their page and the fostering application form is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1FlEtK5Epp0q_osGgTHR8mjpMim3X4MPXRUM_pTivYp_8QA/viewform

🐾 Brilliant Buddy 🐾
Buddy is a lucky boy in that his family are around most of the time, but they realised he was really struggling on the occasions that he did need to be home alone. Buddy would shake and tremble and get stomach upsets after being left, which was incredibly stressful for everyone! We did a phone consultation to discuss how to tackle his separation anxiety and put a training plan in place, and although there's still work to do he can now be left without him getting upset and shaking, which is huge progress! Well done to Buddy and his family - great work!

⭐ Brilliant Bertie ⭐
This handsome chap is an ex puppy farm dog, and has a few confidence issues his dedicated owner is helping him with. He finds sounds and people being near the car hard to deal with, as well as reacting to other dogs when out and about. We've been working hard via WhatsApp Training to build his confidence and he is already starting to find it easier to refocus on his owner - what a great team 👌💪

07/04/2022

🐾 Stunning Keeva 🐾
Keeva is a recent rescue puppy from Romania who has had a tough start. She is finding it hard to get along with dogs inside the house, despite being friendly out and about. We're working on building her confidence around the house as well as working on her listening skills and bonding with her lovely new owner. She's got an exciting future ahead of her!

📒Stages of Training📒
We all dream of the dog you can take anywhere and know that they will, Lassie style, be everyone's best well behaved friend. The reality tends to be different - raided picnics, flattened toddlers, dogs disappearing into the distance. This is because the dog wasn't ready for the level of distraction it was presented with. When training something new:
1. Start at home. Boring boring home. Then go and practice in the garden.
2. Practice in your street. Think of it as a training session, not a walk. Twenty mins of training is much more tiring than a twenty minute walk.
3. Then the park/beach/shop on a quiet day
4. Then busier with dogs OR people, not both at once
5. Finally a busy all singing, all dancing day!

Before making it harder by adding distractions, distance or duration your dog should be getting 4/5 repetitions perfect 👌 Pets at Home is a great place to practice when your dog is ready, as demonstrated here with a beautiful down-stay!

🐶🐾 Before your puppy's first walk 🐾🐶
Taking your dog for their first walk is super exciting, and when you have a bouncy pup who does a brilliant land shark impression you are probably desperate to get out and about! Try to make the most of your time stuck at home though - you can use those pre-vaccination weeks to teach all of the basics your dog needs. Here's what Minnow has been learning - she has just turned 11 weeks and won't be on walks for another week.
If you need any help just send us a message - our WhatsApp program is perfect for home learning 🤗

🐶 Clever Chia 🐶
Look at Chia go! She's a little Cocker Spaniel puppy who is learning through our WhatsApp Training package. She's busy practising all of the things that allow a dog to live their best life as part of yours - recall, being calm and settling down (helloooo pub lunches!), walking nicely on lead, come when called etc.. She's just started going on walks and is having the BEST time!

05/03/2022

🐶 🐟 Welcome to the team Minnow! 🐟🐶
Meet Minnow. She has very big boots to fill following in Doug's paw prints, but she'll give it her best shot! She's a Lab x Springer Spaniel and as you can see has already cracked sit. She'll be helping out in training sessions when she's a bit older 👌

27/02/2022

🐶 Beautiful Rosie 🐶
Rosie the Golden Retriever ("little" sister to Luna the Lab) started WhatsApp training because she was guarding certain toys and items that she had found from her owners and Luna. She's making great progress, and yesterday her owner was able to safely remove some rubbish and a stick that Rosie had found without any issues. Rosie is learning that she'll get something lovely instead of her contraband, and is starting to enjoy swapping her treasures for snacks! What a clever girl ☺️🐾

WhatsApp training

🐾 WhatsApp Training Success 🐾 I love getting updates of how your dogs are doing. Here is Wilson showing off some of what he's been learning via our WhatsApp program. He's a friendly adolescent who just LOVES everyone so keeping his attention has been one of our main aims - and look how well he's doing! If you would like more details of WhatsApp training just send us a message ☺️

Reactive dog progress 🤗

🏅 Star Pup-date🏅 This video might just look like a couple of spaniels hanging out on the beach, and it is! Which is a testament to the amazing hard work of Stanley's owner. Stanley, the ginger pooch, used to be very reactive to other dogs. Over the last couple of years he has gone from needing to be muzzled and reacting to dogs across the street, to interacting and playing with unneutered male dogs (his nemesis 😂) on the beach. So lovely to see him happy, confident and enjoying life! Well done team! While classes aren't running again just yet, I love getting updates from you and your hounds so let me know how you have been getting on! ☺️🐾

🐾🥇Paw-some Pup-date Alert 🥇🐾 Poppy is a gorgeous spaniel who loves life and pings around at a million miles an hour. This made walking her on lead really hard work, so her owners booked a training session for her. Fast forward a few months and look at her now! They have worked incredibly hard with her and it's paid off. Well done team!!

Bell ringing for toilet training

🛎️ Ring the Bell 🛎️ Joey's owner has taught him to ring a bell so that he can let her know when he wants to go out for a wee. As with everything Joey does, he does it very enthusiastically!! Just a little dose of cuteness to get you through your Thursday 🥰

Working on dog reactivity

🍾 Super Smart Luna 🍾 Luna has never managed to be calm around a dog before, but her owners have been working hard on her general focus and calmness and today she managed a lovely walk with my dog Doug, our resident assistant trainer. We worked on letting her have a look and then praising and rewarding her for looking away agaher Her owners were still ready to step in and ask her to look away if she was struggling, but she managed to make some lovely choices by herself! A few weeks ago she struggled to cope with a fake dog at a large distance, so this is huge progress for her 🥰

Position change stay

🎄Progression Class Pups🎄 It was the final session for the Group Progression Class this morning. They've all done so well! Here's marvellous Moose showing off his excellent stay with a distance position change (sit to down). They also worked on recalling to heel from playing with their mates and stopping when asked.

Dog training for dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments

Everybody wants to have the dream version of Man’s Best Friend. The reality for many owners is that their dog runs riot - no picnic is safe, no stinking pile of cow dung is left unrolled in. This leads to the dog being left at home when the rest of the family go out, because nobody wants to be responsible for a five year old being flattened by an overly exuberant Labrador.

Clever Canines Dog Training aims to help owners have the dog they dreamt about. By teaching owners to understand what motivates their dog and why their dog is doing the things it is, we help provide the skills owners need to modify their dog’s behaviour. Whether your dog jumps up, steals food, pulls on the lead, is aggressive to other dogs or is too scared to go for a walk, we can help.

We know that you got a dog to enjoy their company and to take them out and about, and then to relax with them in the evenings. We also know that the route to that goal is not always smooth. We break training down into manageable steps for you and your dog, so that you can enjoy spending time together again. We also believe that training should be fun, fair and effective - punishing your dog spoils the bond you have with them, and isn’t fun for you or them. Instead, we motivate your dog through the things they love - games, food and attention.

So whether you want adult dog obedience courses or puppy training for a new arrival, get in touch - call 07421355014, email [email protected] or visit www.clevercaninesdogtraining.com. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!
