A three week practical course for dog owners in rural environments

If you walk your dog in the countryside, live on a farm, or simply want peace of mind when passing livestock, this course is essential.

Rural Dog is designed for owners who need their dogs to remain calm, controlled, and reliable in the presence of sheep, cattle, and other livestock.

Whether your dog is excitable, curious, herding-bred, or prone to chasing, we teach you how to gain complete control and build true neutrality.

This is not a generic obedience course. It is a focused rural training programme that prepares both you and your dog for the reality of walking and working around livestock, gates, fences, moving flocks, and open farmland.

You’ll also:
• Learn about your legal responsibilities under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act
• Understand how to read livestock stress signals
• Gain the skills to stop your dog before they make a costly mistake

WHY YOUR DOG’S WINTER DIET DOESN’T WORK IN THE HEAT

When the weather changes, your dog’s diet should too but most owners completely miss this.

During the colder months, your dog’s energy demands are typically higher. They’re exercising more, their body is working harder to regulate temperature, and they’re burning more calories just to stay warm and active. That’s when a higher food intake, especially for working breeds or those in regular training—makes perfect sense.

But come summer? Everything changes.

As the heat rises, your dog naturally slows down. Walks are shorter, training sessions are less intense, and activity levels drop. But many owners keep feeding the same amount they did in winter… and then wonder why their dog is gaining weight, becoming sluggish, or showing signs of gastrointestinal stress.

Here’s the deal:
👉 Less exercise = less calorie output = less food required.
👉 Overfeeding in summer can lead to bloating, digestive issues, weight gain, and a drop in drive and focus.
👉 Excess food in the gut during hot weather makes your dog more uncomfortable and increases internal heat. Not what you want when they’re already struggling to cool down.

You wouldn’t eat a roast dinner before sunbathing, don’t do the same to your dog.

Summer is the time to scale back slightly, monitor body condition weekly, and adjust based on performance and energy levels. You’re not starving your dog, you’re fuelling them appropriately for the conditions. When the work picks back up in the autumn, so can the food.

This is a professional approach that makes a big difference. Don’t feed on autopilot. Feed with purpose.

During my 18 year career in the British Army I spent 12 years training and working with Military Working Dogs of all classifications from attack dogs to specialist search dogs. I was successful in completing numerous civilian and military courses such as a Diploma in Animal care, Military Working Dog Trainer Class 3,2 & 1 and canine behaviour and modification courses. The qualifications and skills I acquired allowed me to work with other Armed Forces and agencies around the world, to help implement training, feeding and behaviour regimes to help develop every dog and maximise its capability.

During the last few months while helping a friend train a new puppy, I realised that my knowledge and skill-set could be used to help every civilian dog, they wont be chasing down armed criminals or looking for weapons of mass destruction but I can help with behavioural issues of any kind, help you train your dog to become well mannered and obedient. I can also design feeding and fitness programs to help your dog be more healthier and increase its longevity and happiness and all this will be done with a realistic no nonsense approach.
