Shadow is our resident taste tester of all the stuff that somehow ends up in the basket when Beth does the treat order..

Here he is enjoying an Ostrich foot Bone which kindly gifted us to try out in one of our orders.

If your dog would like to sign up for the role (and save his waistline), please let us know 😂

Recently received the news that our resident spaniel Toff has passed away.

Toffee was an absolute pleasure to walk and always pottered along with the biggest smile on her face. She will be sorely missed, and we are honoured to have been trusted with her!

Did you know that every single dog on our walks not only has a free no obligation meet and greet prior to joining our walks, but they all also have a months trial? 🧐

Our free no obligation meet and greets help us to assess all of the dogs we work with and allows us to 'matchmake' based on several factors to ensure the relationships and grouping between both our handlers and other dogs are a good fit for everyone involved.

From here, we go onto a month's trial 🗓

As we want nothing but the best for our dogs, this can include some fine tuning. We do not expect our dogs to "get used to" other individuals.

Instead, we allow the flexibility to tweak groupings/handlers and training techniques to ensure everyone is fully fulfilled and comfortable.

Let's talk dog training.

Dog training is an unregulated industry, and anyone can call themselves a trainer, even if they've never touched a dog before.

Picking a trainer who has no qualifications, education,or hhands-onshadowing of someone who does can do you more harm than good. They are often the most appealing due to lower pricing, more availability, and preach "quick results."

They can also be the people you meet in the park giving unsolicited advice because "bonking fido on the nose with a newspaper" worked for them, 3 dogs ago, for a completely different behaviour.

I have lost track of how many people in the past 7+ years, have come to me after using an uneducated/unpracticed trainer with a behaviour that is now 10x harder to fix, because they were inadvertently taught the incorrectly from the beginning.

Timing, consistency, and technique are KEY components within the training process. These components very much control the timeline of your results.

Here's some examples of what getting it wrong can mean:

🐾 Reinforce too late = Reinforcing the "wrong" behaviour or miss reinforcing the behaviour altogether.
🐾 Give the cue at the wrong time = Dog learns to ignore you or that they don't need to answer the first time.
🐾 Incorrect tool fit/usage = Dog can end up physically hurt or make the behaviour worse.
🐾 Picking the wrong technique for the individual = Dog getting confused & both parties getting frustrated.

A well rounded, educated and experienced trainer, will help guide you through the world of dog training with reliable results, that give both you and your dog the groundwork to ensure correct development and good behaviour longterm. They will have various different techniques up their sleeves and be happy to refer you to someone who specialises in the area you need. They understand that training is not one size fits all, and different dogs (and humans) have different motivators and learning styles and plan their sessions accordingly to get the best out of the individuals in front of them with the knowledge and experience they have under their belt.

So please pick your trainer as carefully as you would your child's nursery or school

Lost in a world of enchantment ✨️

It's no secret that I have a massive spot for Dalmatians, so when Catherine () said she was looking after her client Elphas () and would I like to do a photography walk with them the answer was a no brainer.

So off we went to Black Park Country Park to see what we could create, and isn't this absolutely gorgeous?!

I think I can safely say this one of my top 3 photos from yesterday and one of my favourite edits so far!

Daily reminder that everybody struggles with training at some point or another, yes even the trained professionals, and we all had to start somewhere!

Nobody is 100% perfect, people mess up, we get our timings wrong, we try and progress too fast, we don't find the right motivators, we make it too difficult too quickly, we're in an uncontrolled environment such as a park, we try and train in the wrong enviroment, or in a lot of cases we are simply having to learn new techniques whilst teaching another who also doesn't know the behaviour.

Try not to compare your progress to your friends or the strange pups you see in the park, its hard but I can guarantee that they have also struggled at some point. Things you find easy they may have struggled with and vice versa.

Trainers with experience and education can make it look easy, especially behaviours that we train everyday but there is still times when we have to take a step back, reassess the situation and even occasionally think outside of the box!

Let's talk about biological fulfilment and what we as dog owners can do to help our dogs be healthy and confident in all aspects of their lives. Whilst we all know how important the physical aspect is, we also need to remember that the cognitive aspect is just as, if not more important. After all, it is incredibly easy to fall into the trap of thinking physical exercise will solve all problems, but all it does is create an athlete whom lacks the ability to switch off, which is quite frankly exhausting! Whilst some biological fulfilments are associated with dogs in general, others tend to be breed specific. For example: Hounds love to use their noses Terriers love to hunt Gundogs love to flush and retrieve Herders love to control the movement of things in their environments. And so on. This is why it is SO important that you pick a breed that suits your lifestyle or be willing to change your lifestyle for the breed. By ensuring we include appropriate fulfilment in their day to day lives with both generalised and specific training, enrichment and games, we massively reduce the likelihood of your dog forming "problem" or "nuisance" behaviours in a bid to do it themselves and start to create well rounded, healthy, confident dogs. This could look like: Scentwork for Hounds Flirt poles for Terriers Herding balls for herders Retrieves for Gundogs And so on. The footage used in this reel is of two different groups, both of which have walkers (@lncwalks and myself) who understand the importance of meeting both the physical and cognitive requirements for each specific individual as well as the group as a whole, and as you can see, it pays off into this gorgeous display of impulse control in the form of a group stay with 9 dogs all from different households! What biological needs does your dog have, and how do you fulfil them? #gundogsofinstagram #scenthoundsofinstagram #herdingbreed #terriersofinstagram #dogtrainer #doodlesofinstagram #mixedbreedsofinstagram

Day 2 of our photography session - Let's have the best bits! Once again, a massive thank you to @lunarrphotographyy for taking the trip down to see us. Imogen is super patient and takes everything in the pups strides. She never asks for more than they can give, and she makes the whole experience enjoyable for everybody. Thank you to @tonka.bluefrenchie for being our behind the scenes women and Emma for putting up with me over the 2 days 😂 A BIG thank you to all my owners who have taken part this year, as always we couldn't do this without you guys. I'm looking forward to sharing the images with everyone ❤️

Brb, we're just going to create some magic ✨️

Fun fact: Emma used to come and help me out when she was at college! Fast forward a few years, and here she is walking (well cuddling) full time! It's safe to say all the dogs adore her and we wouldn't have it any other way!
