Remember me ? 🫣😂
There's been such a lot happening just lately I've been terrible at keeping my social media updated so for the next few days I'll be sharing some stuff with you!
One of my favourites is pushchair training with my super handsome pal as part of his training walks. What a laugh that was when people noticed there was no baby in there 😂
Whistle recall!
Just testing the sharpness of his whistle recall or 'emergency recall' as I call it with some clients. He was working away on a tug pull down the bottom of the field which is his favourite so he was nicely called off that!
I love using a whistle for recall particularly with more independent dogs!
This is something I'm teaching a lot of just recently and it's a really simple process but like all dog training, something that needs commitment and consistency from everyone in the household.

What a busy week!
This handsome lad has joined us for
⭐ The Assessment Session ⭐ to have a look into some behavioural incidents, his behaviour towards other dogs and walking on the lead.
He's such a character and I was blown away by how quickly he took to the training during the session!

Oh Oz...
⭐Training walk⭐ with this handsome lad who's also stolen my heart!
Amazing work from him today including ignoring passers-by, dogs, babies and children and mobility scooters.
He's still a young lad with so much energy and happy-go-lucky personality so we are just working on contexts !

⭐Behaviour Walk⭐ with Finn 😊
We had a great time together today! I've captioned the video so you can see what's going on but to recap:
-First we warm up with some training and basic all over warm ups
-Patience and practicing 'wait' before being released
-"place" training (ideal for photos and dogs that struggle around distractions and triggers)
-Confidence and resilience training!
Finn's original triggers when we first started working together over 12 months ago were:
-People approaching
-Dogs
-Environmental noises and sounds
-Large movements
This boy had all the freedom he could want but of course, true to his nature, stayed close at all times 😂

More loose lead walking!
Spanners are notoriously challenging when lead walking (they weren't bred to walk nicely at your side!) so me and this handsome lad spent the training walk building his engagement, hand focus, tactile cues and pace perception.
He was amazing!

Engage!
First training walk with my good mate Oz this morning to help his engagement and lead walking.
What are you seeing?
-I wait for him to give eye contact, I reward
-I wait for him to seek out my face when I turn away, I reward
Fast forward some extra bits, build up some nice duration et voilà! Lovely little loose lead!
Of course this hasn't fixed the issue but it's how we are going to fix it!
I was already in a good mood this morning despite being exhausted but this lad boosted me even more!
I'm baaaaack!
A little late but I am! I've spent the past few days catching up on enquiries but still getting round to some so thank you for your patience!
Here's an awesome update from this gorgeous lad and his mum.
His mum won't mind me telling you that his severe lead biting, redirecting and typical 'Malinois-ness' was a huge challenge just a few months ago and if we'd have said we would be here today with a short lead AND a long lead with no biting...well.
Yet here they are. Absolutely SMASHING the training together.
Down stays, sit stays, patience, recall, retrieve, heelwork (not videoed). Incredible.
Absolute credit where it's due to Gemma for her patience, dedication, tears and putting up with me swearing at her and giving tough love 🤣🖤

Dog reactivity? Engage!
Yesterday was a warm one but this little lady didn't let it slow her down!
Her team have been working hard on her focus and engagement foundations so for session #2 we pushed forward and asked for a little more from her.
She did beautifully with a dog and some other of her triggers which was amazing to see!
As with all 'real world' hurdles owning a dog that can react, we came up against a super barky and defensive dog but this is an opportunity! She recovered quickly and re-engaged so well after the reaction which is super promising!
Does any of this sound familiar?
-Barking & lunging at dogs
-Can pull and go into a world of their own on a walk
-Seems distracted and vigilant on walks

Loose lead and big dogs...it's a must!
So we welcomed this beautiful lad to the DOG team recently for help with his lead walking skills and excitement when out and about.
Being a BIG DOG, pulling on the lead is not only exhausting for the person at the end of it, but also can cause long term issues with their joints and muscle development. Being more prone to health issues in these areas anyway, we got to work and he absolutely loved it!
Fun, engaging and a brilliant relationship booster for his family too 😊
Can't wait to see him for session 2 soon!

It's a pain isn't it?
No matter what size your dog is, jumping up can be a pain in the arse!
With this lad, we have a combination of excitement, frustration, emotional conflict, age and a heavily rewarded habit of jumping up.
Now, I never claim to give quick fixes but if this is the difference of a year long habit within 10minutes of training...I'd say it's worth it, right?
We've got lots more work to do around contexts, obedience and outlets but looking good today!

Ending the week last week with this fluffy lad working on his lead walking skills and behaviour around other dogs.
In typical cockapoo fashion (you read that right) he is super excited and happy go lucky so we were working on keeping his attention around different distractions but especially dogs.
Lots of work yet to do but he did so so well and his team have got lots to be practicing in-between sessions that's manageable and fitted for their lifestyle 😊
⭐Luring into and rewarding a position
⭐Paying out for good work and attention
⭐Realistic goals and difficulty levels
⭐Fun!

Back to work and meeting this handsome boy for his first ⭐ training walk ⭐
His owners asked me to help with his lead pulling when out on a walk as, true to spaniel nature, he pulls like a train and is super busy sniffing!
I took some extra time with him at the start of our walk just to build his confidence up coming out with a stranger (hes very very social and I had so many cuddles but a new routine can sometimes be a bit daunting for some dogs!)
We spent our session introducing the foundations to training, lots of bonding and using those spanner superpowers and ending with some lovely loose lead walking already!
Can't wait to see him again!

Ending my week off at a PSA trial with Training with Farah and her sister.
I'll get back to all enquiries and messages as soon as I've cleaned the mud off...we may be here a while 😆
Functional skills !
This is my 2nd ⭐behaviour walk⭐session working with this girl on her behaviour on lead (pulling) but also reactive behaviour towards people. She's lacking confidence and feels suspicious of them so can lunge, growl and bark.
We've worked on her heelwork, engagement and also if he lead goes tight, that is her cue to come back to me (so IF she pulls or reacts, the lead goes tight, that's her cue to come back or if she doesn't hear my cue, I stop, the lead goes tight, she comes back BEFORE she reacts)
As long as she's by my side, she can watch if she wants to or disengage from the trigger altogether.
Small steps, big progress.

Back to this handsome lad to crack his behaviour on the lead. His reactivity towards dogs is now virtually none-existent, his engagement is so so much better and his lead walking is really coming along.
During our session we worked hard on not relying on food, timing, markers and using pace and our own body language to communicate. This video is from the start of the session and by the end of it, he was walking the full length of the street with only 2 rewards!
Don't give up!

Today's ⭐ behaviour walk ⭐ was back with my beautiful friend.
She's now come into season which can cause some behavioural changes in bitches (and local males) so I was sure to take extra precautions today; a shorter but busier walk and managing expectations of what we could achieve in the session.
As expected, she was super distracted and very VERY busy but we had some really great progress together!
The ⭐ behaviour and training walks ⭐ aren't currently on my website but if you are interested, let me know!

Branching out!
Our ⭐behaviour walk⭐this week was pushing his skills and confidence to walking on the road with the same engagement we get on the carpark (increasing the difficulty!)
We came up against a few of his triggers (super noisy wagons/tractors and some people but he handled it really well.
He was a little spooky for the session but just look at him go! So proud of him.
My training and behaviour walks aren't yet on my website but if you'd like to know more, just get in touch :)

What a gorgeous way to end my week!
This beautiful girl started her first session of ⭐ The Training Package ⭐ with me today to help with greeting people and lead walking. She absolutely ADORES people and, in typical bull breed fashion, wants to shower everyone with kisses and love so we got to walk on her walking skills, engagement and impulse control.
She's super clever and concentrated so hard even with excitement and distractions all around her!
