Dog training and walking in Pirbright, Surrey

✨Missy✨

Missy is a 6 month old chihuahua puppy who I have been working with for some basic puppy training.

We have been getting her used to walking on a lead, teaching her a basic marker system and doing lots of exposure work to build her confidence. She is the sweetest little girl and has been so quick to learn 🥹

I was lucky enough to work Harley at Larry Krohn's first workshop, where I wanted some help with some guarding behaviours.

The situations are pretty specific and he will not show these behaviours with dogs he is comfortable around, so I have tended to resort to management in scenarios where I cannot set him up for success with an unknown dog.

Larry gave some great advice and methods to help Harley feel less of a need to guard, but also to create a really clear picture so that I have a better ability to help him in situations where he does feel uncomfortable. It was strangely a relief to hear that I may always need to manage this to a degree. Genetically Harley is a breed with a strong guarding instinct and he is incredibly drivey, but can be insecure and on top of that he has to navigate life with no hearing so he may always be uncomfortable with resources around unfamiliar dogs.

Sometimes I wish I had an all-round "easy" dog but I wouldn't change him for the world as he's made me a much better handler and trainer than I would have otherwise been.

Thank you again for your wise words and for these amazing photos

Last week I was lucky enough to attend not one but two workshops with the amazing Larry Krohn and I have had the most fantastic 6 days of learning, surrounded by some really inspirational people and dogs.

I have taken so much away and I am looking forward to putting it into practise. Larry's teachings aren't complicated but so often overlooked and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him.

As always, a huge thank you to for being an amazing host and for giving us all the chance to learn from some incredible trainers.

This boy deserves a huge appreciation post 🖤

Having previously been dog reactive I have always been conscious of the situations that I put him in but he has absolutely smashed everything I have thrown at him these past few months and has shown just how far he has come.

From being my stooge in training sessions, to having new dogs in the house, to the way he interacts with other dogs on pack walks I am so so proud of him and so grateful that I can rely on him to help me do my job because it definitely hasn't always been that way!

I took these two handsome boys to their owners wedding yesterday. It was a beautiful wedding and they were so well behaved. Don't they look smart in their matching bow ties 🥹

✨Marvin✨

Marvin can be dog and people reactive and needs a walker with experience with this in order to keep him and others safe. He's the sweetest, cheekiest boy and loves a game of fetch 🎾

✨Scooter✨

Scooter's owners have been struggling with her jumping up at people and nipping when she is excited, which often gets reinforced by passers by who stop to say hello. She is the friendliest girl who just needs to learn a little bit of self-control and so we got to work teaching her to regulate her emotions a little better!

DOG WALKING AVAILABILITY 🐾

I am excited to announce that I have opened up two new pack walks on Tuesday and Friday mornings, covering Pirbright and surrounding areas (GU3, GU16, GU21, GU24).

If you are looking for an experienced trainer/walker who will focus on fun as well as continuing your dog's training - look no further! Pack walks are a great chance to socialise properly in a safe environment and practise important skills such as lead walking, recall, impulse control and more.

Solo/training walks also available - message for more information!

Summer is finally here - I hope everyone is enjoying the sun and managing to keep their dogs nice and cool! ☀️

Walks have been moved earlier and training sessions will either be rearranged or changed to house sessions - keep an eye on your messages if you haven't yet heard!

✨Luca✨

Little guy Luca has a big personality and has learnt to plant his feet whenever he sees a dog that he wants to meet. He also struggles with pulling on the lead and recall.

His owner is absolutely smashing his training and I'm so impressed with the progress they've made in just one session!

✨Bowser✨

I caught up with Bowser and his owners for a 1:1 session yesterday. This sweet boy has just turned 1 and can get very overwhelmed with the environment when out and about, making him disengaged and quite jumpy.

We broke things down and worked on his engagement by building motivation and encouraging eye contact, as well as continuing to build his confidence. Having a naturally nervous dog can be really hard work and progress can be slower than we'd sometimes like, but it's important to remember that every dog is different and some just need a little more time and help than others!

✨Storm✨

This big boy is super sweet and has a great level of training, but loves his walks so much that he can get very overaroused. I've been working on adding structure to his walks so that he is in a calmer state of mind and comes home mentally and physically tired as opposed to adrenalised and ready to go again!

Oliver is 6 years old today!!

Oliver was found as a stray so I have no way of knowing his real birthday, but his passport makes him 6 years old today. He's getting a grey muzzle which, although adorable, makes me so sad because it makes me feel like he's getting old 😭

Happy birthday Oliver 🖤

✨Teddy✨

This handsome boy has the most committed fosterers who brought him to training as soon as he came to them. He was rescued at 7 years old and having previously been kept inside and not walked, the world is very exciting for him and he struggles to control his impulses around other dogs.

We have got to work teaching Teddy the concept of lead pressure, using play as a way of teaching impulse control and how to walk past dogs without so much frustration.

Sadly he has just had his tail amputated due to it being in a pretty sorry state from his past life, so we taking a little break from sessions until he has recovered, but it's onwards and upwards from here!

I have FINALLY got my business profile on Google verified, which means I now show up on Google Maps and can receive reviews 🙌 If I have ever helped train/walk/care for your dog I would be extremely grateful for a few reviews on Google if you have a spare moment!

Does your dog walker help or hinder your training progress?

I love that I can make a difference in the walking part of my job as well as the training side. Being able to help clients maintain their dog's level of training is so important and something that a lot of people struggle to find in a dog walker.

The benefits of training last so much longer when everyone is on the same page and so having your trainer walk your dog too can only be a good thing!

✨Nala✨

Nala has just started training walks to tidy up her lead walking, proof her recall and get her confidence up in busier places. She has a really great foundation and I'm excited to see what progress we can make!

✨HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLEY!✨

Today my wonderful squishy boy turns 4, which means that in a few days it's also his third gotcha day! I'll admit that a boxer was never on my list of dogs to own but I've definitely been converted and couldn't imagine life without him. Here's to many more years of tail whips, loud snores, acting like a lap dog and having all the fun in the world 🥰

✨Mabel✨

This lovely girl is so sweet but extremely frustrated and overaroused, making walks very stressful due to her reactivity.

Being a working breed it is so important that she has an appropriate outlet for her genetic drives, and so we are going back to basics and giving her owners the tools they need to give her the fulfilment that she needs. She is super fun to work with and kind of makes me want a Mali 🫣
