LOVE HIM! Handsome boy Doyle is showing off his top three favourite harnesses! 🐾
These include:

Which would your dog be picking? 😍
If your dog isn’t treat motivated during training - THAT IS ABSOLUTELY OK!
"Watch how we train with no treats involved, just a toy and game of tug!
Play is so good for your dog’s brain and playing with them like this can really boost your bond, giving you extra quality time ❤️"

The differences between these two dogs! Melody having a nice relaxing sniff, and Talion zooming round the field with his Boomer ball 😅
Which would most likely be your dog if they had our Boomer Ball in front of them? 😂

Looks like Melvin has found his new favourite toy!
When it comes to finding toys for dogs to chase, the Coachi Chase & Treat is a fun, interactive option. This mentally stimulating toy can act as a dog treat ball dispenser when filled with treats, which encourages interaction for those dogs less interested in toys, great for motivating dogs to play and chase 🐶

Curious about clicker training? Our behaviour consultant Fiona is here to explain it all!
Clicker training is a positive reinforcement method that uses a clicker to mark the exact moment your dog performs the desired behaviour. The sound of the click is followed by a reward, such as a treat, praise or game, helping your dog understand what they did right.
This method is effective and fun for both you and your dog. It's all about building a strong, positive connection and encouraging good behaviour through instant feedback and consistent rewards 🐶✨

Training your dog to stand or sit between your legs, known as the "middle" command, is more than just a cool trick!
Watch as our behaviour consultant Fiona, demonstrates the steps to teach your dog the "middle" command. Let’s get started! 🐶✨
#companyofanimals #dogtrick #doglovers
We decided to try the viral #PawsInChallenge with some of our dogs at the office.
Here's how it went! 🐶✨

✅ It encourages attentiveness and strengthens communication.

🚫 Myth Busted! 🚫
Your dog 𝗖𝗔𝗡 pant while wearing a Halti headcollar. Panting is crucial for your dog's comfort and cooling down, and our Halti Headcollars are designed to allow this natural behaviour.
As our behaviour consultant Fiona demonstrates. if your dog can't achieve a full pant, then you've got the wrong size. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/HaltiHeadcollar

"They deserve the best ❤️ The Coachi range has helped us greatly to keep the boys on top of their recall. The Coachi Tuggi Ball in particular has been a game changer for Max. It’s helped us keep track of all of his training and has done wonders for his recall!"

Another great tip from Danielle, our Veterinary Physiotherapist this week! 💙 Company of Animals Pet Centre.
Watch out for lameness or changes in posture: These can be early signs of discomfort or injury. If you notice your dog limping, favouring one leg, or altering their usual posture, it's crucial to get them checked out by a professional.
Early detection and treatment can prevent further complications and help your furry friend stay happy and active 🐶❤️
"This was Dilly’s first proper walk in his muzzle and I couldn’t be more proud! All the desensitisation has really paid off. He really didn’t like it to start with, so it’s taken quite a few months but he was very content wearing it, happily sniffing and eating his paté.
Muzzles are brilliant pieces of equipment and dogs who wear them are no different. Dilly won’t be wearing his muzzle on every walk but when he does it will allow him to make good choices without me intervening, as I’ll feel more comfortable. He’s come so far and I think this is going to enable much more varied training opportunities. 🐾"

We couldn’t resist sharing how great Myst looks rocking her Halti Headcollar and Halti Training Lead 😍
‘Using the Halti Headcollar really has been a game changer for our relationship. Myst would pull very badly and as a training aid the Halti Headcollar has drastically reduced this behaviour. I feel it has put me back in control of our walks so we can both relax and enjoy them so much more.
I absolutely love that they are now selling these in different colours too! Our favourite is the Cobalt Blue, which I think looks great against her coat.’ - Victoria W.
