Do your dog a favour - leave the ball thrower at home
While playing fetch with your dog is a wonderful way to bond and have fun together, using a ball thrower has many hidden dangers.

“If your dog was trained, you could just tell them to sit and be quiet!”
This is not how reactivity works. It’s a fundamental misconception that a well-trained dog is not a reactive dog … or that a reactive dog is not well-trained.
Whether or not a dog is reactive tells you nothing about the amount of skill training they have received. A dog can *both* be able to perform challenging and complex behaviors … and have intense responses towards certain triggers.
Skill training cannot always overwrite a dog’s emotional state. A dog may be able to “sit and be quiet” with food distractions, while you’re throwing a toy or even in the presence of wildlife … but not be able to do this at all in close proximity to a trigger.
This is really important to understand for both owners of reactive and non-reactive dogs:
If you own a reactive dog, your dog is not missing “obedience training”, as reactivity is not a lack of obedience … it’s a surplus of stress.
If you do not own a reactive dog and think that reactive dog owners just don’t know how to train their dogs to behave … that is also not true. The dogs are *not* poorly *trained*. The dogs are *feeling* poorly near triggers.
Reactivity (or lack thereof) and skills (or lack thereof) are not inherently linked.
There are …
💙 Reactive and very well-trained dogs
🩵 Non-reactive and very well-trained dogs
💚 Non-reactive and poorly trained dogs
💛 Reactive and poorly trained dogs
Don’t discount a reactive dog as one who just didn’t get trained … the topic is much more complex than this.

🥳 Amazing news! Thanks to our incredible supporters, over 106,000 people have signed our petition urging the Government to on vet services, including medicines, and pet food during the cost of living crisis.
These measures would make an enormous difference to dog owners around the country, helping make sure that more dogs can stay with their families where they belong 💛
We have now handed in the petition to Government, so will keep you updated when we receive a response!

Welcome to Blue Dog!
Thanks for dropping by to find out more about us!
You may be wondering wonder what we mean by "happy training"?
We mean that we advocate force free and reward based training which is underpinned by the latest science. In other words, training that's fun for you and your puppy or dog that actually works!
At Blue Dog we will never promote the use of any methods that use force, intimidation, outdated debunked methods or indeed anything that will cause your puppy or dog discomfort, fear or pain.
Do you have a dog with no manners, who jumps up or won't comeback when you call? How about dog that pulls on the lead or doesn't listen to you? Maybe you've got a puppy and just want to get the right foundations in place?
