Does it get much cuter than this gorgeous girl? 🥹

Before 9-week-old Pip even came home, her owners booked in because they wanted to start her off on the right path. They’d had older rescue dogs before - but this was their first puppy, and they wanted guidance they could trust.

Our first session focused on:
🧡 Sleep and rest (so important for puppies)
🧡 Toileting routines
🧡 Gentle enrichment
🧡 Using her brain in calm, age-appropriate ways
🧡 Setting realistic expectations for puppy life

Puppy training isn’t about drilling in behaviours. It’s about helping owners feel confident and prepared - and making puppies 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.

Pip is an absolute joy, and she’s already picking things up wonderfully 🧡

If you’re going to be a new pup parent soon, I have some slots available for my 1:1 Puppy Programmes in Jan & Feb: https://furrytails.dog/puppy-training-1

This is Chip 🤍🐾

A very gorgous boy… who is doing brilliantly in his Training & Behavioural programme.

When Chip first came to see me, he found children and busy places quite hard. Things like scooters, sudden noise and fast-paced environments could feel a bit too much for him, and he wasn’t always sure how to cope.

So, we took everything at Chip’s pace - helping him feel safer and more confident, one step at a time.

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In a recent session, we had children running past and scooters going by - and instead of reacting, Chip stayed calm. He watched… then chose to look back at his owners for reassurance 🤍
𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫, and seeing this gorgeous boy feeling more settled and relaxed really does make my day 🧡🐾

River Pup / Adolescence Update 🤍

As River is moving through puppyhood into adolescence, I’m being reminded (daily 😅) that this stage can come with its own challenges as well as lots of learning for both dog and human.

I’d love to know
What struggles have you had or do you currently have with your dogs?

It could be anything
Recall becoming unreliable
Over excitement
Frustration on the lead
Big feelings
Teenage brains switching off
Confidence dips
Sudden selective hearing 🙃

You’re definitely not alone and it’s always reassuring to hear that others are going through similar things too.

Let’s normalise it and support each other 💛🐶

This is Monty - and his story is one 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 🤎🐾

Monty had an extreme fear of the sound of wind… even when he was indoors. He was so terrified he jumped out of an upstairs window twice when his owners weren’t home 💔

They genuinely thought they’d been burgled the first time until someone turned up at the vets with him.

Unbelievably - he was okay.

When I first met him, he was living in a constant state of panic.
Kids on scooters, bikes, sudden movement - everything overwhelmed him.

After his 1:1 Training & Behaviour sessions, his owners said 𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐠 🧡

⛈️He’s coped calmly through thunderstorms

🛹He can settle as children skate past him

😌His stress levels have come right down because he finally understands what to do when he’s worried

Monty now has the strategies he needs to cope, process and settle - 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐨.

A completely different dog from the one I first met, and I’m so proud of them all 🤍🐾

Anyone who works with me knows this is exactly my ethos too 🧡
Helping dogs feel safe and comfortable isn’t just for people who live with reactive dogs. We can all do our bit 🧡

This is the dopamine box - one of my favourite gentle, science-backed ways to 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐝 🧬📦

It works a bit like a comfort blanket for busy brains 🐾

The dog chooses to put their head inside → food appears → and their whole body begins to soften.

Both of the dogs in these photos - Loki and Maggie - arrived at their sessions holding a lot of tension in their bodies for completely different reasons.

But the moment the box came out, you could see the change in them. The dopamine box doesn’t “fix” behaviour on its own - but it gives dogs the emotional space they need so real learning can happen. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞-𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 🤍

If you’ve got a dog who struggles to relax outside, gets stuck in “survival mode”, or finds the world a bit too much sometimes, this might be something we explore together during your training sessions 🧡

This handsome boy is Chester - an 18 month working breed living in a very busy household 🤎🐾

Kids, school runs, people coming and going… and all that excitement had turned walks into a full-on battle. He pulled like a train, and his lovely owners were actually getting hurt.

After building up his foundations in the house, we took things outside…

And they couldn’t believe the difference 🤩

Chester was:

🧡Checking in
🧡Thinking instead of rushing
🧡Softer on the lead
🧡Far more connected to his owners

I see so many dogs like this - they don’t need “stronger handling”. They need clarity, calmness, and training that works with their brain, not against it.

So proud of you, Chester 🧡

He’s only just getting started.

Four dogs… one indoor training centre… and they 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭🤩🐾

During the winter months, Rally moves into the FurryTails Training Centre - which means we’re all working much closer together than we would in the secure outdoor field we use in the spring.

It’s where the real learning happens.

These four were a brilliant mix, all of them capable of getting a bit excited or overwhelmed around other dogs. But in this environment, they can safely practise the skills they’ll need in real life:

🐶Making good choices when other dogs are close
🐶Settling their busy brains
🐶Focusing on their owners instead of the room
🐶Staying calm when space feels a little tighter

And because everything is 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨-𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, the owners feel confident too. If anything pops up, we work through it right there and then - no panic, no embarrassment, just learning together 🤍

Once spring arrives, we head back outside to our larger secure Corners K9 Fields… but these winter sessions indoors give the dogs something really special: a chance to feel safe, supported and successful even in more challenging environments.

I’m so proud of every single one of them 🧡🐾

If you’re wondering whether Rally might suit your dog, 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
