Telford Dog Trainer

‼️BEGINNERS SCENT WORK WORKSHOP‼️ (My favourite one!) Come and spend the day teaching your dog how to Search, Find and Indicate on a specific scent All dogs work individually so they will need to spend time in your vehicle between searches. ❤️Suitable for reactive dogs ❤️ 10am - 4pm Workshop with two options of locations. 23rd February *2 spaces 8th March *5 spaces (Puppy Session 1st March *1 space) We will spend a day where we introduce your dog to a proper scent, teach them how to search and indicate, and get you all ready for scent work competitions and future challenges I have planned.... I am a City & Guilds Certified Instructor & Handler and am operational with my own dogs, so you know you're getting the best instruction. ALL breeds are welcome. I currently have an American Bulldog and Lhasa Apso heading up the teams. If you're unsure your dog will be able to do this, drop me a message and I'll give you a quick fun session at my field so you can see your dog's potential.....😉 All dogs are worked individually so no need to worry if your dog doesn't like others too much!! 🤠 Reactive Dogs more than Welcome! This helps loads with reactivity! 🤠 Teach your dog great focus skills! 🤠 Build Confidence in your dog and their abilities to problem solve! 🤠 Learn to easily read your dog's body language 🤠 Build your relationship! 🤠 Use those olfactory senses and give your dog the buzz of their life whilst naturally calming them! 🤠 Learn how to search, identify and indicate on a choice of functional scents. All training is easily transferable to do at home! 🤠 Come have some fun whilst learning some science and giving your dog the best day out ever! 🤠 20 mins of Scent Work is equivalent to an hour's walk, so if you're looking to relax your dog, this is the way forward! Scents to choose from are gun oil and kong, but if you're on scent, I can most likely accommodate that too Please book via messa

What a crazy, nuts and busy Monday this is! Not quite finished yet so here's my little Pupper Zena having her very own Crazy Nuts time 🤣🤣 So happy this was caught on video as it's just the best, and shows you exactly who my sweet little pupper friend is ❤️ #staffordshirebullterrier #staffiepuppy #telforddogtrainer

Meila's Christmas This is what the last few weeks have been for, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you all, and Merry Christmas Love Meila 🎁💝

Meila is doing super well and I'm really impressed both with her progress and her. She's an amazing dog and I love her through and through. Genuinely, Meila is a nice dog. I gave her a B&M Snake to see how she'd go with her own toy a few days ago and she literally loves it. She takes it everywhere with her, except on walks, but it has to come out for garden play. In the kennels she could be destructive which is why I waited but this snake is loved 🐍 So I need a name for the Snake. Sounds ridiculous but we didn't get to rename her as she's an older girly and Meila is the sweetest name, so please give me some snake names instead Apparently "snakey snake" just isn't cutting it 🤣🤣 Right at this minute, Meila is having her first big and fresh bone with the gang which she's absolutely loving, and she allows me to touch if I need to. She's happy, relaxed and having a great time so that makes me happy. Here she is with her "best snake" 🤣🐍

This quick video shows Meila's walking and how unsteady her back end is. Unfortunately she has zero muscle on any of her joints so I'm trying to build it up with these literal 5 minute walks a couple of times a day, all dependent on if she's up for it and it's gauged mostly by garden time throughout the day. This does look very uncomfortable for her but I'm honest when I say this is much better than a week ago when I first picked her up, as then she would do a few steps and fall over on her back end so I am super happy for her and I hope we can continue with this for the foreseeable. Always keeping everything crossed we can make it all as best we can for her 💜

My name is in lights down at the Town Park, how cool is that?!?! (it isn't, I did this on an app,but it's soooo cool 😅)

Don't forget I have a few items left in the shop ready for the dirty "C" word!! Get them before they all run out 🤞 The Carrot Game is still my absolute favourite, and here's my friend Nancy showing you how it's done! www.telforddogtrainer.co.uk/shop

Little Abi showing her dad she does listen to him on the lead so he can put his arms down and relax on walks! Well done little pupper lady ❤️

So I've noticed that when Romanian dogs are DNA tested, there's always (nearly) 1% Chihuahua in the breed mix. It makes me imagine this little Chihuahua walking around Romania with a Mexican hat and the biggest smile 😁 It makes me laugh anyway 😂 (I don't get out much) it's also just my opinion and not statistically correct for those offended.... So imagine how much I laughed when Fat Head Ernie's pawrents showed me this video last night at class 🤣🤣 You gotta watch them Chihuahuas

I was really pleased to receive this video of Korra today! When I first met Korra she wasn't interested in me or training at all and was reactive, but her pawrents worked super hard following the plan in place and Korra has flourished and now attends classes! Korra had her first go off lead at the off lead field with her mum and look at how much this girl is enjoying herself!! And those moves she's pulling are fantastic!! Korra's training was a new one for me as both owners are strict vegans and wanted to feed a good vegan dog food diet. I didn't know much about these diets so we researched together and chose a food on the understanding that if korra's condition didn't improve (rescue and underweight) then I'd be requesting a fish based diet. Korra did improve and the vegan diet doesn't seem to leave her at any loss nutritionally at all. Something I've never looked into so it was a learning curve alright! Then came the treats to train. We were using her new food to begin with but as we moved on we needed something more enticing and again, after some research, vegan sausages were absolutely the way forward! Korra flourished and absolutely loves the vegan sausages so it's all worked out great and I've learnt something!! This was an interesting journey for all of us I think!! Well done Korra and your pawrents! Love it!
