Happy birthday (yesterday!) to my wonderful husband .southlondondog
We can both highly recommend Sophie at Medley Farm for an amazing pottery experience in East Sussex - DM if you'd like her details.
This magnificent being is Coco, she's just started her one month 121 training package with me, working on not chasing cyclists and joggers.
Yesterday we worked on building toy focus and a chase recall and she took to it like a duck to water.
Lovely owners too!

Thank you to for capturing this moment between me, .southlondondog and Tally, our 9 year old ex-puppy farm German Spitz from via 🧡💙
Tally was the most terrified, shut-down dog when she came to us on foster back in 2018. Now she's the happiest little ginger fluff, helps out in classes and is our stooge dog for helping other dogs' confidence and reactivity.

The focus of this class is to improve interactions between dogs, increasing confidence when needed and toning it down for those who can be over excited.

This handsome chap is Ukko. He's having regular home training sessions and we're currently working on him keeping calm when the neighbour's dog scratches at their fence - not an easy task!
He's an unusual breed, can you guess what he is?

We're very much looking forward to a weekend of training in the sunshine with you and your pups!
First solo ride with Cian today and he was absolutely perfect ☺️ - amazing to see the trust building over the last few weeks.
Boofy enjoyed his first trip to Ziggy's pet shop in Forest Row. He got lots of treats from the ladies there and we bought him an enormous ostrich bone to help keep those teenage chompers busy.
Aside from nearly knocking over the dog statue at the entrance, he was otherwise a very good boy. Still looking for his forever home, get in touch with .sanctuary if he might be your next pup
It's time to properly introduce Cian, my new horse love who I'm very fortunate to have found to share. He's 19, a Dutch Warmblood and spent his working life as an International Champion Driving horse. He lives only ten minutes' drive from me and he's kept immaculately by his owner who is a horse physiotherapist.
He likes apples, doing stretches for carrots, dressage (he does an excellent piaffe!) and using his brain.
He dislikes chickens (terrifying), flappy plastic and sudden noises.
Isn't he beautiful. See stories (highlight non-dogs) to follow the training we've started.
NB his bridle isn't done up correctly in this pic, I'm still learning!
We are proudly part of the Puppy School family and part of mine and Neal's roles as Regional Managers includes visiting tutors within the London region on a regular basis to check that classes are being taught to a high standard.
This week it was our very own Lilly having her first class visit from me and she absolutely smashed it. Lilly runs our Puppy School classes in Beckenham on Tuesday evenings as well as running a successful dog walking and boarding business .dogs
If you've got or are getting a puppy soon, check out Lilly's classes, you'll be in very good hands!
READY, STEADY, GO! Brand new for our Crystal Palace venue - 6 week beginner agility course.

Today's challenge - how can I help an asthmatic cat take part in consensual husbandry to use an inhaler? Oh and the cat is in Australia 😆 Would you have approached this differently? Drop a comment 👇🏻 #animaltraining #animaltrainer #cattraining #cooperativecare #targettraining #catowner
Socialising your new puppy should be fun, safe and enjoyable for all. I emphasise how socialisation is about getting used to the world and how to behave with different creatures, in different environments. It doesn't mean playing with every dog they meet or meeting every person they see as puppies can easily be overwhelmed and it's simply not always appropriate to say hi to everyone. Going for a walk with an older, steady dog is one of the best socialisation exercises, provided your pup learns to mooch and sniff, not constantly pestering for play. Small bouts of play are of course ok, checking games are even and the dogs pause and take turns. Our Puppy Club social sessions, held in Crystal Palace, are the perfect accompaniment to our Puppy School courses. Each puppy gets one free place included, or those on our Puppy Package have six Puppy Club sessions. #puppytrainer #puppyowner #newpuppy #puppysocialisation
Forget "speak" - teach "whisper" 😆 #fridaynighttricksclub #dogtraining #tricktraining #dogowner #dobermansofinstagram
One of the BEST behaviours to teach your puppy is to settle on cue. In our Puppy School classes we reinforce settling between every exercise. If you're sitting in your seats, puppy needs to be learning to relax and switch off, resulting in a dog who can be calm in all sorts of environments. Who's taught their dog to settle? #southlondondogtraining @puppyschooluk #puppytraining #puppyowner #londondogtrainer
I've never taught scentwork to any species other than dogs. I'm applying the same theory, with adaptations to the species in terms of reinforcer-delivery. Cian knows how to hand target with his nose, so that made the early phase of pairing the Kong with reward easy. I had used Kong on a stick to add distance between me and the Kong, which essentially turned into a target stick. I got stuck with not being able to get Cian to target the Kong reliably without me holding it, until Neal suggested reinforcing away in a bucket. This video is an amalgamation of a 90 minute session, broken into batches of 5-20 repetitions per go. I'm thrilled with the results and am looking forward to introducing him on scent pipes next time. All in all he had one apple three pony nuts broken up and two carrots chopped up small for his rewards. Fellow trainers and/or equestrians, I'd love some feedback! #horsetraining #dutchwarmblood #scentworkwithhorses 📸🍎🥕 Thank you @fionakelly22 for filming and delivering snacks!
How do you train dogs in a multi dog household? This is how I do it! #southlondondogtraining #multidoghousehold #dogtrainingproblems #dogtrainingsolutions #dogowner #rescuedogtraining
Some dogs don't know what toys are, but here's a way to help them learn how to play. #dogtrainingtips #rescuedogtraining #dogowner
Can I teach Scentwork to Cian? Day 1 today, pairing Kong with rewards. So far so good! The most difficult part was when the Kong went AWOL and found the yard Kelpies playing with it in the straw 😆 #horsetraining #southlondondogtraining #dutchwarmblood
A body language analysis snippet. There were two Canada Geese on an island in the middle of a pond, one of which took offense to the sight of Boof and I walking past and honked at us until we were out of sight. Boof wasn't sure what was going on and what the funny-sounding chicken was saying but he got the gist that it wasn't inviting friendship. #dogbodylanguage #dogbehaviour #dogowner

Dogs are communicating with each other all the time. Our 4 month old foster puppy Boofy Clyro is already learning to be an effective communicator and our 8 year old Doberman Ripley is quite clear with her body language.
