My girl gained her ZWP 1 & 2 on Friday at AVD Night Trials 🙌🏼

So proud of her, I’m so pleased I’m taking my time slowly slowly pushing her , so pleased with how she’s maturing.

Probably one of the hardest dogs I’ll own but she’ll be one of the best without a doubt.

What a great weekend 🙌🏼

GARY & PENELOPE

Can’t wait to start a breeding program with these two. Super happy with how Penelope is developing.

Both dogs very social with people and dogs , no nerve at all and overall very nice easy dogs to live with. Penelope’s calmer temperament will compliment Gary’s wild character nicely , hopefully producing pups somewhere in the middle of both.

Looking forward to seeing how she matures 🥰

They will produce blue, lilacs and chocolates

Social dogs need social interactions ⬇️

Gary is a wonderfully social little being with all people and all dogs however due his size it’s not always safe for him to interact with larger dogs. A small bop and it could kill him 😫

So he has very little interaction with other dogs , lots and lots of exposure which has meant we’ve maintained his sociability due to having no negative interactions however we know he would thrive on being able to interact with a dog his size. He’s super playful and affectionate which is why we decided to get him a female chihuahua for company. This is also due to the small dogs we do get in are still big for him or they pay no attention to him whatsoever 🤣

This is obviously not something you’ll hear trainers advising to do often but we’ve chosen a female that will hopefully match him temperament wise and be a great addition so they can learn to play together, cuddle and share social interactions between eachother that he doesn’t get from other dogs. The key thing here though is we know exactly what to do if they don’t get on which could happen !! Just like humans not all dogs want to be friends with eachother even if they’re social ! Knowing what to do in this situation is vital and only then should you introduce another dog.

You’ll hear trainers saying exposure over socialisation all the time which is true ! BUT if you have a dog who is naturally very social and loves interacting then taking that away is wrong it’s all about balance ! Social dogs need to be social !

Penelope posts will be coming soon , I can’t wait 🥰

Super pleased to announce that is now the new owner of BODHI 😍

Lots of people will be wondering why but it’s simply because she has every single quality kirsty wants and needs in her first working dog 😊 I’m so excited for them both !

Which made me think about how I’ve seen many posts listing numerous things that they have to do with their pup in a day or week and it was exhausting just reading the lists !

How I ensure I fulfil a puppy is by splitting their day into thirds. Each third contains a form training, exposure or socialisation and I can use each meal during that. Equally some days will consist more of one than the other or a mix of all three and that is okay that is how life goes.

As long as you know how to genetically fulfil your puppy and you understand why behind everything you do you’ll be doing a great job. There is such thing as doing too much!

Puppies can also have days off 👀, yes I call it a growing day aha I like all my dogs to learn how to cope with wee breaks only every now and then great skill and honestly you’ll see how much your pup grows that day 🤣

There’s a lot of posts out here that will make you feel bad if you don’t feel your the right match for your dog or that you’re not doing enough for them. Quality over quantity every day 👌🏼

If you are unsure on how to genetically fulfil your dog/ puppy book in a session and we will form a plan together that works for your lifestyle 💙

Help for XL Bully owners !

Please understand the other breeds written on the post are there because they match the description the government have released on what an xl bully is. You are best to prepare your dog so that they do not attract negative attention and can’t be accused of being out of control.

Please get in touch if you need help, I can also recommend other trainers who will definitely be able to help you achieve what you need to by the time the ban comes in 💙

Alfie came back for a short stay and I was sooo pleased with him 🥰 No resource guarding , no biting of any kind just a lovely cooperative boy. As he is naturally very possessive even selfish sometimes play is very one sided. He would often take the ball and go off or drop it so far away and guard it so for him to be learning to want to share with me and actively engage in the game is amazing progress. Cooperative play alone does not solve proper resource guarding issues however it’s a huge part of the dogs rehab process. If you need help with this book a 121 session or join our mentorship program ! DM to BOOK #resourceguarding #cockapoo #dogtraining #cooperativeplay #playwithyourdog

When maintaining your dogs training pays off ! All of these dogs have varying levels of sociability and have been to me for some type of training. Due to their owners working hard consistently since working together, their dogs were able to do a lot of different things whilst with me. Their ability to walk nicely on a lead , have basic obedience , and reliable recall meant they could go on walks with other dogs, bike rides safely, offlead walks together and walks in public. Training your dog enables them live a much more fulfilled life regardless of their genetic sociability, if these 4 dogs were chucked into a field together with no structure there would 100% be altercations however due to their solid training I could easily walk them together no problems. It’s imperative you remain consistent with your dogs training , don’t become complacent because as soon as you do your dogs world starts to become smaller ! • • • #consistencyiskey

Loveeedd these clients, taking on a street dog is a whole different thing compared to owning dogs from this country. They’ve smashed their training working on lead walking, separation anxiety and reactivity/aggression towards guests. Lead walking and separation anxiety ✔️ Guest reactivity is going to be massively tested this Christmas looking forward to their updates and catching up in the new year. Commitment to helping your dog is what it’s all about 💙 • • •

Long one for you all ! Super proud of these owners going from out of control and completely unenjoyable walks to this ! They took their time following every step of training, never rushing ahead which has meant they were ready to progress in each session. Thoroughly enjoyed working with these guys and look forward to seeing them again ! Hard work pays off ! • • •

Setting invisible boundaries ! At just 6 months old his owners have already practiced setting boundaries with him around their rabbits. However, as he is growing he has become a little bit too energetic around them. To keep the rabbits safe we have introduced this invisible boundary so they always have a safe space to retreat helping them to feel confident around him. Never underestimate the power of coexisting 🙌🏼 • • •

If your dog doesn’t look to you when you say/use their positive marker then it hasn’t been loaded correctly. That word/sound needs to be loaded up so that your dog actually becomes to a certain level excited when they hear it. Having clear positive and negative markers make teaching and guiding a dog so much easier. • • •

Baby Prep You have to prepare your dog for your new arrival. Think about how you want your dog to behave in all different scenarios - coming home with the carrier, walking with the pram, when your on the sofa with your baby, when your baby’s on a changing mat on the floor etc. Start to think how you would like your dog to behave in these situations and start re-enacting them. Teaching your dog what to do. Claiming space/ protecting space. Imagine your baby has a ring around them, your dog can never enter that ring. Teach to exist only then further down the line you can work on interactions.

Bites rarely come out of no where, just because a dog is silent doesn’t mean there isn’t intent there. He’s super nervous outside of the home so confidence and relationship building is our focus now some foundations are in place. • • •

Understandably at only 8 months old, Skye is sometimes unaware of what all of her long legs are doing and can swing all over the place. In prep for walking both dogs together we wanted to start tidying up her sit so she doesn’t knock their older dog too much on a walk. This is just one way you can start to do this 😊 • • •
