If you have a new little pup or an older dog that needs some tuning up, get in touch! It would be lovely to welcome you to our Basics course.

If you didn't know, once your dog has chewed their yak chew down to a choking hazard, you can put it in the microwave to create this crispy treat. It's another fun form of stimulation and reduces waste!

You know it's going to be a good day when your dog greets you like this!

Ps. excuse the mess, we are redecorating!

Well the sun was lovely whilst it lasted! Lovely to see the bluebells starting to come up.

Our 6-week basics course has just finished. But don't worry, we will be starting a new one soon! As the name suggests, we focus on basic commands and building your relationship with your dog.
Looking forward to seeing this bunch in advanced classes this week. Do get in touch if you want any help training your dog!

The big eye reveal! Do you prefer winter or summer Giskey? Personally, I prefer his long, curly coat but with temperatures climbing it was definitely time for a trim!

Thank you to The Cornish Dog Barber for such a nice hair cut!

An amazing spaniel puppy just starting her training journey! I always start my dogs with an eye contact exercise like this. It teaches restraint around things they want and also teaches them to look to me for permission before they take something.

Still working on this beautiful boy's recall (hence the long line) but I love the huge grin on his face when he absolutely nails it!

I think one of the best parts of walking dogs (both my own and other people's) is getting to see so many fantastic views in all weathers, all seasons and all times of day. Bonus photo of 7 month old, Rocky, trying really hard to stay in his sit!

This is our second session working on this puppy's lead walking and I would say he is doing a jolly good job! He still needs reminders to stay by me but that's not bad for a 7-month old puppy. Shout out to his owners Abi Jenkin and Andy Bryan Jenkin who have been working so hard with him!

Happy Monday! This boy is very proud of his stick!

To all of you who got a puppy over the Christmas period, this is the class for you! We will cover all of the basic commands in a very relaxed environment. Because the classes happen outside in a field, your dog will need to be fully vaccinated. However, this also means that we will be training in real life situations! For more information please see my website or get in touch. Please get in touch by phone or Whatsapp (07447 373658), through Facebook, online (kernowdogtrainer.co.uk) or by email ([email protected]).

Sometimes dogs just want to rip stuff up! I'm holding the cardboard box so that I can make sure our dog doesn't ingest any of it. Just a bit of morning fun and socialisation.

Some amazing training by Abi Jenkin and Andy Bryan Jenkin. Lacey has loads of energy and can be easily distracted but with persistence and patience they managed to get this heel walk with her!

Here is our gorgeous puppy, having an afternoon doze. I often call him a rascal- that name is particularly accurate at the moment, so I think it is high time to talk about the teenage phase!

I think we have just met the teenage phase in puppy: he has been such an incredible eater up until a few days ago. Then all of a sudden, we are trying to convince him to eat his food as it is a 50/50 chance he will eat it or spit it out. He also won't p*e in our garden: he'll just wait until we walk him.

I know that my expectations for my dog are high (sometimes too high!) but I have really struggled with how to respond to this. Finally, we have a plan. I don't want to train my dog how to train me to do the things I want. So we are going to go back about 20 steps. I often recommend kibble for training, and use it myself for pretty much all training I do. However, training will now be praise based and will focus on the bare necessities for a well behaved dog. He will have access to his food 3 times a day- if he doesn't touch it, he doesn't get it. And as for p*eing, well we are going to make the garden a bit more dog friendly but if that doesn't work then I guess he will just have to go for a morning and evening walk around the block.

Did you struggle with the teenage phase? What did it look like for your dog? How did you get through it?

Amazing work conquering this tunnel!

I love watching dogs just running around!

Training game to practice engagement, sit, stay/wait and retrieve! (Sorry for the windy audio!)

Here is a video of puppy sniffing out his breakfast. I scattered his kibble on a towel and then folded it over a bit (or you can roll it up or even your it in a knot). Mental stimulation is so important for dogs and doing something as simple as this gets their brain going as well as slowing down their eating time!

The framing of this video is terrible but you can just about see the important bits! I had puppy's food on a raised surface (just easier for me to reach) whilst I brushed his coat. We are starting to work on these grooming skills and this is a super easy way of doing it. Puppy is building a positive association with having his coat brushed (pretty important for such a fluffy pup!) The other thing to notice is that, despite the fact that this is a highly food motivated dog, he is waiting till I give him his food. This is because I have taught him to ask for permission using and eye contact exercise. This is his restraint at 3 months. What kind of restraint could your dog have if you started working on eye contact? Get in contact at [email protected] #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips
