I am really in need of some love today. ♥️

This job is tough, its unregulated and the number of dog trainers popping up with little or no experience, no legit qualifications, recommending aversive methods and tools, from slip leads, lead pops, and shock collars is so sad for the dogs involved.
Research who you work with, check their ethics align with yours, i will certainly check that i am the right trainer for you, if im not, its not a problem for me to not take your money.
Phone consultation is about fact finding not about insulting anyone.
I have my ethics tested by the multiple affiliations i work with who only accept reward based trainers.

Plenty of very strange myths about in the dog training world, i read one yesterday that suggested that my dog wearing a harness is like him wearing a bra ! Im pretty sure he isn’t 🤣 🐾🐾
Lets see photos of your dogs In their walking harnesses.
Have a lovely day with your dogs.

Service dog month, dogs really are incredible companions who live for us. 🐾🐾

September is National Service Dog 🐕‍🦺 Month - Service dogs and assistance dogs play an invaluable role in the lives of people with disabilities, providing not only practical support but also emotional comfort and independence. These highly trained dogs 🐕‍🦺help their handlers with essential tasks such as guiding individuals who are blind, alerting those who are deaf, detecting medical emergencies, retrieving items, and offering stability for mobility challenges. Beyond their physical assistance, service dogs 🐕‍🦺 foster confidence, reduce isolation, and strengthen the bond between humans and animals. Celebrating National Service Dog Month reminds us of their extraordinary dedication and the profound impact they have on everyday life. 🐕‍🦺🦮🐕‍🦺🦮

Yeah ruffling feathers !

No puppy is a blank slate, early socialization of your pup or lack of, genetics, epigenetics all play a huge role in who your pup is, combine that with a new puppy parent with lack of knowledge, support and time !
A rescue can seem like a good choice, or a pup from dubious sources!
This can all become what you hadn’t bargained for.
There are so many certified professionals about, pick the right one for you and your dog, not the cheapest or closest, check their ethics align with yours.
Happy to chat if you need me.

Today i returned to teaching Scentwork at Longham, we are all enjoying this activity in a relaxed and calm way, a low impact mental workout for any dog.
All 5 dogs who started today loved it and i will show you all their progress in the coming weeks.
