An exiting project i have been looking at for a while now that i have mentioned here before maybe moving forward.
A brain storming meeting happened this morning with Laura from the Life Skills and Mentoring academy, regarding a kids dog training and dog care club project.
Kids would need a guardian in person to support throughout and a suitable dog to train and work with.
Jive the therapy dog will support children who want to work with a dog if the child doesn’t have access to one.
If your child may be interested in this please get in touch to find out all about it.
Central norfolk location.

Jive is worn out !
We attended an organized family outreach event at Pickenham Hub. Jive met and interacted with several children in his Therapy dog uniform, he loved it especially a baby of about 1.
This was organised by Breckland council, great turnout and lots of fun.

The dog training industry is unregulated, you can literally get up tomorrow and call yourself a trainer. You may have had lots of experience and owned 10 dogs previously this may make you a great trainer of your own dogs but should you teach others ?
There are different styles of trainer, one is called BALANCED - this sounds good but watch out, it means they use aversive techniques and aversive tools as well as rewards by this i mean anything from lead corrections, slip leads, check chains, garottes, E-collars.
Another is called LIMA, least intrusive minimally aversive ! Gosh what even is that ?
Another is FORCE FREE ( R+) this is my camp ! Cookie pusher, Fluffy trainer.
It should matter to you what sort of trainer you pick to work with you and your dog, dont just pick the closest, or the cheapest. Some of us have spent £££££ and many hours on qualifications plus ongoing CPD, some have spent nothing or very little and don’t do CPD.
If you are unsure you can research and ask to watch a class to see if the education aligns with your ethics.
You spent ££££ on your puppy, research and invest in their education the same as you would your human child.
All the below are of my CPD !
Im currently doing L6 with ISCP, running KCGC, and hope to add AD to my KCAI too.
My dedicated clients pay my fees to ensure my CPD is kept up and i am Insured, enhanced DBS, dog first aid and human first aid.
Respectful comments or questions invited.

As a dog behavior specialist it is by my responsibility to explain to guardians that they need to meet their dogs needs, their breed genetics need to be a priority to improve their welfare this will affect their behaviour in general.
Two walks around the block on lead and two meals a day will not suit most working bred terriers. More walks may help, off lead paddocks and fun training will help.
I learnt this many years ago !
This is a Patterdale terrier with strong working genes that i met today.
Fantastic guardians who are taking my advice on board. See you soon for part two of your behaviour package. 🐾🐾

Never work with kids and dogs !
Oh ! I already do.
I have a huge question for you all !

If there was a local availability for kids to train their dogs, or work with my Therapy dog, guardians must stay.

And maybe a certification to gain from UAS (AQA) aimed at home schooled kids and SEN kids.

I can apply to get funding to provide this community service.

I am looking for helpers who have their own home schooled kids to help with plans and set up.

Its just an idea currently circulating in my brain !

When i started Paws4fun in 2013 i had no idea what it would evolve into.
Paws4fun is still evolving, its been massively challenging. Never did i think i would study Phycology, get the qualifications that im proud of and doing more.
I am a dog training instructor and behaviorist, im an admin, a tech specialist, advertising person too, single pawrent of 4 dogs and many previously proud of them all.
I love my work, i do it so you and your dogs can be educated in how to be good and responsible citizens.
I am sometimes appreciated enough for clients to write me great reviews.
I love making a difference.
Thanks for allowing me to help if you are in my classes or if i have helped with 1-1.

I had a late afternoon visit to this happy, handsome, smiley boy, his guardians were looking for help with his boundaries and over excitement around dogs and people, can you guess why he attracts so much attention that he looses his head and jumps around and bounces ? At only 10 months he is big, he needs to learn self control and his loving guardians need to practice advocating for him.
Lots of homework for his great guardians.

From the book “Manage It! Hacks for Improving Your Dog’s Behavior” by Juliana DeWillems ()

Management is meant to create a life where you immediately see
less unwanted behavior from your dog. By rearranging your dog’s
environment, you remove the cycle where the unwanted behavior
occurs and you have to repeatedly jump in to stop your dog. With
proper management in place, the unwanted behavior doesn’t even
happen in the first place.

I went to visit this little fella this morning, he is struggling with anxiety, he is in his second fear phase so this is heightening his anxiety. We worked on supporting him through his fears with a plan and a method, his anxiety should not be just blamed on being small.
