A reward doesn't just mean a treat! Only the dog can decide what is rewarding for them. Finding what is rewarding for our dog is essential to positive reinforcement training.

How does online dog training work?

Sniffing is so beneficial to dogs, it slows their heart rate, reduces anxiety, releases feel good endorphins, mentally stimulates them and so much more.
It can also be great for us too though! Letting your dog's nose lead the way reminds us to slow down and take in all the benefits of being out, enjoying walks with our best friends.
You may also find that your dog is a lot more tired after a walk spent sniffing than a run around the park.

Clicker training can be a great help to train some really precise behaviours, BUT it takes some skill and practice and the clicker must never be used for any other purpose such as getting the dog's attention as this can lead to confusion amongst other issues. It is also worth noting that for some dogs the sound of the click can be frightening or startling so it isn't a 'one size fits all' technique. If you are interested in clicker training or would like some alternatives to it please get in touch ☺️

If you have a “socially challenged” dog and you need some help, don’t be afraid to reach out to a professional like myself for help!
Having worked with many dogs that display “reactive” behaviour, I know they can be massively misunderstood but they deserve lots of compassion and love ❤️ remember never to punish these behaviours! There is always a reason behind it!

Great ideas to help keep your dog cool and occupied in this warm weather ☀️

Super important to remember! If we punish a dog for growling, they will learn to 'skip this step' in their communication and escalate straight to the next stage of their behaviour which is often a bite!

If you drink as much tea or coffee as I do, your dog will be trained to do all sorts of tricks in no time 😂☕️

Some examples of things many dogs find scary! There are many others, and all are valid!

In scientific terms Positive Reinforcement is a quadrant of operant conditioning learning theory.
Positive means we add something to a situation
Reinforcement means we increase the frequency of a behaviour.

We reward behaviours when we want them to happen more often!

For example: giving a dog a treat when they sit on cue, the dog will then associate this tasty treat with sitting on cue which means they are more likely to do it again!

Reinforcement is a lot more powerful than punishment.
It’s a kinder more ethical way of training that only strengthens our relationship with our dogs and can be an enjoyable experience for everyone if done correctly!
