Teddy the Pomeranian on a quick chew break from barking at me like I was a satanic entity that dared to enter his domain.

I'm thinking of doing a ☕Cafe Lead & Learn☕soon for existing clients, maximum of 4 dogs and owners where we go for a walk to a coffee shop, get a drink, train and settle our dogs.

Comment below if you'd be interested! 👇👇👇

It was a pleasure to meet Dexter yesterday, a recent rehome who’s owner is looking for some guidance on his behaviour and socialisation.

With Bowser being 10 and Rosie now 8, they’re showing signs of age, stiffness and a lower tolerance for rude behaviour. Now Pablo is not your ideal stooge dog, he’s pushy, intense and just generally a massive annoying bellend to other dogs.

But he’s getting so much better lately. Today he demonstrated exercises perfectly in class and chilled out with the dogs. I hope one day I can fully trust him to stooge as well as his older siblings, but he’s not a natural for sure!

💡 Being Kind to Your Dog Doesn’t Mean Letting Them Do Whatever They Want

I think one of the biggest misconceptions I see in dog training is the idea that “being nice” to your dog means avoiding rules, structure or boundaries. In reality, kindness and boundaries go hand-in-hand.

I’m very loving with my own dogs, but I’m also strict about following through on boundaries, from an early age. Why? Because I want their responses to be consistent, I want them to listen when it matters, and I want them to feel secure. I don't want them to do what they want and then have to undo it when it escalates. Dogs thrive when the world feels predictable.

⚖️ Without boundaries, many dogs end up:
- Struggling with poor emotional control (think jumping, whining, barking).
- Getting frustrated when they can’t cope with change.
- Becoming less responsive to their owner’s cues.
- Living in a “smaller world” because they can’t handle real-life situations safely.

For example, a dog who is allowed to barge through doors because “it’s funny” might also run into the road one day. A dog who has never learned to settle calmly may find it impossible to join their family at a café or pub garden. A dog who is never asked to walk nicely might get walked less and less because it’s just too stressful for their humans.

Dogs are happiest when they understand what is expected of them. Our society isn’t designed for dogs to have complete autonomy - they can’t just run free and make all their own choices. Teaching structure, boundaries and self-control is what allows them to enjoy more freedom safely.

✅ Boundaries aren’t cruel - they’re about giving your dog the skills to succeed in our human world. When you strike the balance between love and structure, your dog not only listens better, but also feels calmer, more secure, and able to enjoy a bigger, more enriched life with you.

What boundaries do you find most helpful with your own dog? 🐾

Impulse control training today with the wonderful Izzy, fabulous dog and such high drive!

Met the little Charlie today, a Poochon with an insecure disposition who needs some confidence and guidance ❤️

In the session, his owner already felt more confident with how to handle him and how to read his body language which is great. Onwards and upwards little Charlie!

🐾 Parallel Walking Class - Building Confidence & Calmness (in both you and your dog!) 🐾

Does your dog struggle to stay calm when other dogs are nearby?
This Parallel Walking Class is designed to help!

✅ What it is:
A 45-minute class held at Grendon Dog Field, where pairs of dogs walk side-by-side in a structured, calm environment. This setup allows your dog to experience the presence of others without the pressure of direct interaction. This class will be held often but not every week so keep an eye out for it on the website.

✅ Who it’s for:
- Dogs who are easily distracted or excitable
- Dogs with low-grade reactivity who would benefit from learning calm coping strategies
- Current clients looking to further their dog’s training progress

❌ Not suitable for first-time clients with highly reactive dogs - please enquire to find out the best starting point for your dog.

✨ The Benefits:
- Builds calmness and focus around other dogs without the chaos of a busy unpredictable park
- Provides positive, structured exposure to reduce frustration and overexcitement
- Helps both dog and handler practise loose lead walking in real-life scenarios
- Creates confidence through controlled, repeatable experiences

Trains neutrality - teaching your dog that being near other dogs can simply mean calm walking, not play or confrontation.

📍 Location: Grendon Dog Field (Noddy’s Field)
📅 When: Saturday 20th September 2025 @ 12:15pm
⏰ Duration: 45 minutes
