A common phrase I hear often “She’s dominant” or “She’s boss”. Did you know this is actually a really outdated way to think about dog behaviour?The idea of dominance comes from early studies of wolf packs, where it was believed that wolves operate with a strict hierarchy, with one "alpha...

⭐️ SUCCESS STORY ⭐️

Meet Frankie-Furter!

We met Frankie when he first came to live with his humans and what a sweet boy he is! His humans were amazing at getting him off to the best start possible.

Frankie was initially worried about walking down his street as he was finding the outside world overwhelming. We played some games that focussed on building his confidence and showing him how fun this new world can be. Frankie was finding certain things in the environment scary however and displayed this with barking. With this, we worked on a behaviour modification programme to further build Frankie's confidence and teach him new behaviour patterns to practice when he's feeling unsure.

Frankie can now focus on his owner in the presence of his triggers and no longer feels he has to bark at all the scary things in the world 🐶 There will still be times when Frankie is overwhelmed in the world, but with the training his humans have practiced, he's in a much better position to stay calm and enjoy his walks!

Lovely to see Bonnie this morning for our first groom of 2025 🐶 Bonnie hasn't been to see us for a while as she's been recovering from surgery. As a result, her hair had become a little tricky to maintain for her humans so we've had a nice fresh start with a shorter do. We look forward to seeing Bonnie back soon, she's always a pleasure to groom 🩷

First 1-1 of 2025!

I absolutely adore 8 month old Martha! She is eager to learn, listens great & such a friendly girl! Martha has already graduated from our Advanced class and is such a superstar.

Recently, Martha has struggled with her frustration when she can't get or do what she wants. Because she is so social, she would love to say hello to all the dogs at the park. As this isn't always possible, Martha then doesn't know how best to process that frustration and gets upset.

Today we started the process of changing how Martha feels when things don't go her way. Whilst we love errorless learning where we can, we also want our dogs to be able to understand that its okay when rewards dont always come. She's a very smart girl and was already picking it up in session 1. We'll be catching up again with Martha next week 🐶

Meet Leo!

Leo came to us as a puppy to attend our training classes and was an absolute star! As he got a little older however, he began to struggle with humans near his high value food and items, especially his little humans.

After working with Leo and his family, we first ensured his humans knew how to speak "Leo" and understand exactly what he was communicating. Then, we began our behaviour modification plan to teach Leo that humans, especially HIS humans, were nothing to worry about. We taught Leo it was good to share his items.

Now, Leo and his humans can relax knowing they they can communicate to each other. His humans can now understand when Leo needs his space & free time and Leo knows he can communicate this in a non-confrontational manner 🐶

A huge well done to his humans for taking these training steps and putting in all the work!

Success Stories!

Each day in January, we are going to share a dog we have been lucky enough to work with and a little about their story 🐶 I think it's so important to celebrate the hard work of our dog/human partnerships to achieve these training results! If you have worked with us in the past and would like your dog included, send us a message with a picture and permission to share your story!
