Met up for coffee with this gorgeous girl last week. Lucky has to be one of my most successful overseas rescue clients. Nervous, dog reactive, no recall when i met her and a real challenge for her new owner. Now she is a wonderfully happy girl who can play offlead with lots of doggie friends and brings her owner immense joy and companionship 😍😍😍😍

Introducing a new kitten to a resident dog takes careful management

Been working with this chap today. He is usually very excited by visitors, barking, jumping up, charging about grabbing his blanket or toys. 15 mins work and he was so much calmer 😍 #dogwhispering #blacklabrador #pupology #thedogway

Greeting visitors as described in my new book Pupology. Excitement changed to calm manners. Did this take hours? No! Once an owner learns how to communicate the dog way, the dog understands what is wanted. This was all achieved WITHOUT TREATS AND COMMANDS, along with loose lead walking and many other good manners behaviour at the owner’s first 1 hr session #dogbehaviourist #thedogway #Pupology

Toileting on command is easy to teach and very handy. Here is Sky weeing when told #dogtraining #toiletoncommand #Pupulogy

Working at his pace, i tackled his fear first. Once he trusted me and I moved him past that fear block, we used food to encourage him to enter the car himself. We will work towards him jumping in with no food once he is totally confident entering this way #dogbehaviourist #thedogway #workattheirpace

Spotting where the fear kicks in is essential. In Benji's case it was a long way from the car #thedogway #trustiseverything #carfear

I teach three kinds of recall at Take The Lead Dogs - informal, formal and whistle. Why, because different situations require different recalls. If your dog's brain energy is low, an informal will suffice, but as it increases, you will find you need a more formal "Come". The whistle is for when these first two arent working because your dog's brain is very excited! #dogbehaviourist #recalltraining

Front Door protocol. An open front door should NOT mean run out in an excited state. It is perfectly possible to teach this behaviour without dog treats and commands, instead I do it THE DOG WAY! #pupology #trainingthedogway #dogbehaviourist

Even in a small restaurant they should be able to swtich off and relax whilst you eat.... teach them to "Settle". No treats involved, just simple clear instructions as to what I want in this situation, delivered in a calm way

Being able to take your dog(s) anywhere is a wonderful thing. Teach them how to settle in a cafe/pub/ restaurant environment

I will be doing a series of videos to accompany my new book, Pupology. In this first one, you will see Boston walking in "pack mode" i.e. mentally connected to me and following my lead. Apologies for the state of me in this 🤣 my appearance is always last thing on my mind!

Lead puller? Get that mental connection sorted! No need to be at heel, in my opinion, just connected mentally and in "following" mode #dogbehaviourist

At your wits end?

Tried everything and still can’t sort your dogs behavioural issues? Here at Take The Lead I teach you how to sort common behavioural problems by showing you how to interact with your dog in a way he understands, in other words, to 'talk dog'. Dogs don’t speak English, they communicate through body language, amongst other things. Once you learn how to effectively let your dog know what you want him to do in different situations, behavioural issue become relatively easy to sort. Lead pulling, poor recall, destructiveness, aggression, excess barking, I can help with all these things and more. Just like people, every dog is different, so it is important for me to assess your dog (and you!) and come up with a tailored lesson plan to deal with his issues. You will receive helpful information sheets after each session and I am always there for futher advice at the end of the phone.

Check out the reviews from some of my existing clients - just click on the 5 Stars on my page. Remember, don’t despair - dogs aren’t born with problems, those problems are created through living in our ‘human’ environment. With the right approach, it is possible to get you back on track and allow you to enjoy a happy and mutually fulfilling relationship with your dog.
