Waffle ❤️❤️
If you have a new puppy joining your family you are bound to have lots of questions ⁉️and whilst you can look online for help it is hard to know what is the right advice! Consistency is key when it comes to puppy so starting off with the right methods and advice is vital to your success with the first journey home, the first night at home, toilet training, socialisation and lots more!

🐶Waffle's family decided to book a 𝗣𝘂𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 with me so they would be able to ask a puppy expert any questions and make sure they had everything in place for his arrival....Look how happy he is in his new home! Fallen asleep with his toy still in his mouth.❤️

I can't wait to meet Waffle very soon when he starts his 1:1 Puppy Foundation Program!🤩

✅Get in touch if you have a new puppy coming soon!

It can be tempting to wait and see how you get on when your get a puppy...🐶
But you are missing out on setting the training up the right way for you both!

Pups need consistency and guidance! It is very easy in the first few weeks to think there is not much you need to do to have the dog you dreamed of.
BUT what you do in the first few weeks and months sets up the next few years of their life with you! Puppy School is for pups under 20 weeks on the date of the first course.

Commit to a initial 6 weeks of training, sign up to a class that you attend with your puppy and family and have fun learning how to train your pup together.

Next courses starting soon;

🐾Lead versus a harness

I often get asked about the best option for puppies in classes.
The recommendation really depends on the individual puppy. However in most circumstances I do recommend a harness.

Some things to consider;

🐶Is your puppy currently pulling on lead? or are they walking nicely next to you with no tension on the lead?

If your puppy is pulling on the lead consistently, as the area around a puppy’s throat is one of the most vulnerable parts of their anatomy! Pressure from a collar and lead can restrict blood flow and neural pathways and cause or exacerbate many physical conditions and may also cause pain that increases arousal and can impact your puppies behaviour.

⏰Have you got lots of time to practice lead walking training with your puppy?

It likely that you have lots of things to prioritise in your life and so having 2 options for walking your puppy can really help you practice at times that are best for puppies to learn. For example, using a lead and collar for training walks and a harness for when your puppy is off on a sniffy walk to take the pressure off and ensure the training walks remain fun and relaxed for you both.

🏥Does your puppy have any medical problems?
🫣Does your puppy back away from a harness and run away from it?

As harnesses go around the body it may not be suitable for them to wear a harness if they have a health concern. Equally if they are worried about handling then you would need to get them used to the harness slowly. Take a look at my blog ‘Getting your puppy used to handling’ for a few more tips!

In one of my puppy classes I was joking about my Labrador and how that as a breed they tend to inhale food without chewing it.

One of my very bright young handlers in class put their hand up and asked...

“ Why do Labradors have teeth if they don’t chew anything”😍😍🤣

I absolutely love it! Indeed why!!?😂

Double tap if you agree!

❓ The top 3 questions I'm frequently asked as a puppy specialist❓

🐾 How to I help my puppy get used to being alone?

Start with playing hide and seek games with your puppy. Use one of their toys and hide it behind your back while your pup watches before rapidly bringing it back into sight. After some practice of this then switch to you disappearing out of sight and return after a brief moment. Make it fun and silly and play with different people and different places.

🐾 What's the best way to toilet train a puppy?

Patience and a consistent schedule are key for successful toilet training. If circumstances allow, take your puppy outside to toilet frequently, especially after meals and naps, and reward them for going. Make sure you wait until they finish before giving them a tasty treat. If they start going outside to toilet from the beginning you are closer to the actual behaviour you want.

🐾 How can I stop my dog from pulling on the lead?

Walking nicely on lead takes time for your puppy to learn. You need to reward your puppy in position by your side, each time you take a step. Remember to start this in low distraction environments. You can practice this without the lead at first to get used to feeding them in the right position. Initially this training is started when you are not actually out on a walk!

🙌 If you really want to train a strong recall here's my one hot tip. 🙌

Tap into the things your dog loves and make them believe you are the best part of a walk!🐾Instincts - Consider your dogs breed.. what were they bred to do?
🐾Favourite activities - What makes your dog happy?
🐾Brainstorm - How you can be part of the these activities?
Put it all together!!!

🐶Your dog loves to chase and run and is a working breed and loves to use their nose to find things

1.Take out your tastiest treat throw it in the direction of your dog
2. When they have found and eaten the treat and look up and run from them so they come running after you!
3. Mark this great choice with a ‘yes’ and throw another treat out for them to find.

Don’t forget the taster the treat the better for recall practice, but the main winner for recall is they come back because YOU are fun!

What's your dog's recall success rate? Let me know in the comments. 🤔

😍This week is National Dog Week! 😍

Maybe you had the opportunity to spoil your puppies and dogs for an entire week! What lucky furry friends!

If not! Its nearly the weekend! So it's time to celebrate in style and do a little something extra to show our dogs just how much we love them. 🐶 🐾

What will you choose! A favourite walk? A favourite snack? A new equipment or accessory? Or a trip to their favourite place?

Harley still loves a good pub trip!🍺😂😂

Whatever you do, make it a great weekend! 🙌

🐾 It is Animal Pain Awareness Month. 💖 This is a subject I feel passionately about. It can be hard to spot pain in animals, they are experts at masking it and carrying on as normal. But we can get better at watching, observing and deciding if our animals are in pain. I have included some photos/videos of my dog; 👉he is not limping 👉he is not crying in pain 👉When off lead he runs, jumps, swims 👉He would chase a ball if you threw one 👉He would chase anything if he wanted to 👉He would jump on and off sofas and beds 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 and it has been managed through a multi-modal approach (which ” means using different methods together to get the best possible outcome.) Along with the above he also; ❗𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 or be 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 ❗His 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗸𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 ❗He doesn’t pick his feet up always and you can hear 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿. ❗There are 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, such as becoming 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 such as thunder and a 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 to heavy rain on windows. This response is not normal for Harley and is a strong indicator that we need to visit to the vet to look at options to help. I encourage you to take time to observe your dog and consider small changes in their behaviour. This article by CAM (Canine Arthritis Management) gives you some information on identifying & monitoring the signs of pain. Ch

Whilst it can be frustrating when your dog finds another reason to stand still for ages getting a free meal when you need to get them home. Remember to use the freebies to your advantage!!! 😄Pick the best fat juicy ones they can’t reach and pop them in your treat pouch to reward them to stay close to you!

Know your dog and make good decisions for them 🤩

Our Story

With a background working and volunteering in well-known UK animal welfare charities, I am passionate about helping humans and their dogs develop lifelong relationships. As a different species to us, canines can appear complex at times! Building positive connections is possible, if we take time to understand our furry friends. This starts from the moment a new puppy is brought into the home. With the right training and socialisation, it can be a fun filled enjoyable time. Our aim at My Complex Canine is to see your puppies growing into happy dogs that will live out their days in their forever home as part of the family.

As a certified Puppy School Tutor I run family friendly groups classes, based on reward-based training, which basically means you will have lots of fun with your puppy using treats, praise and toys, whilst your puppy learns basic life skills and good behaviour. I also offer pre-puppy guidance visits to provide advice and guidance on how to choose your puppy and what you will need to prepare for when you bring your puppy home. In addition, I offer puppy home visits for older puppies/young dogs, as an alternative to group classes, or for extra training support in the comfort of your own home.
