Is your dog trainer accredited? If not, why not 🤔

We sure are….and not just with one dog training membership organisation, but two!

Each year, both myself and Kaitlin independently commit to follow a code of ethics which is set out by each of the training councils above, which we both belong to 🙋🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

What does this mean for you and your dogs?

✅ the saftety of knowing that we have been formally assessed and examined in-person by two of the most prestigious independent dog training councils in the UK
✅ our training techniques have been deemed to be kind, ethical, safe, effective and based only on the latest animal behaviour science
✅ your trainers are up to date with relevant and complementary CPD, to keep our skills and knowledge current (our minimum commitment being 15 hours a year, we usually do more).

Basically, we know our shizzle! 🙋🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

Not sure what to look for when trying to find a dog trainer? Our advice is to ALWAYS check to see if you can find someone of one of the registers mentioned above. Other reputable membership organisations include

Don’t risk working with someone who can’t demonstrate a reputable background and ethical industry commitment…you wouldn’t ask Bob nextdoor to pull your tooth out would you (even if he does have his own teeth)….😉

The Saluki currently holds the Guinness World Record for being the oldest breed of dog in the world.

Although new research may have undermined that claim, its ancient origins are undeniable. Archaeologists uncovered a golden pendant depicting a Saluki that dated back to 3,300BCE while the remains of mummified Salukis have been discovered in ancient tombs in the Upper Nile region.

These elegant dogs were highly valued by Arab tribesmen and Egyptian nobility alike. As high-speed sighthounds, they were prized for their speed, endurance, and keen hunting instinct.

Capable of reaching speeds of up to 42 mph, the Saluki was most famously used to hunt gazelle but, in the mountainous terrain of northern Iran and Turkey, it adapted to the environment, becoming “bigger, heavier, [and] hairier” to cope with larger prey, like deer.

Curious, loyal, and yet independent, the Saluki is an athletic dog that excels in competition, showing an aptitude for activities such as agility, lure coursing, and jumping. Despite their hunting origins and high prey drive, Salukis make dignified and gentle family pets as long as they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

A month on from Albert’s first physio session with the wonderful Lucy from and I am so pleased to hear that our homework has been paying off!

Albs has increased his muscle mass in his back end as a result of the exercises Lucy gave us to do and he also seems to be in much less pain which is great news 😅

We still have a way to go, to see if we can improve his overall gait and stability but to see such progress and to know we are helping him feels such a joy!

Thank you Lucy for your careful, kind and astute approach to Albert’s strength training, I’m learning SO much too! 🤓

Albs had a great first physio session today with Lucy who we saw at Albert’s vet 🐾 ♥️

I first noticed changes in Albert’s coat in January this year (see pics in this post) and I knew that a zigzag pattern across the spine can indicate pain so I have been monitoring with the guidance of our amazing vet. With his recent diagnosis of spondylosis and arthritis we’ve now introduced pain meds and physio, and today Albs had his first laser session ⚡️

I’m blown away with the results after just one session of laser, massage and manipulation today - scroll to the end pic to see how the curvature in Albert’s spine has flattened back out already! Isn’t it an amazing difference? 🤩

Looking forward to working with Lucy these coming months and to introducing some daily body conditioning exercises into Albert’s daily routine. Wish us luck 🐾💪🏻

Welcome!

Lady & the Hound is a canine care and coaching business based in Walton-on-Thames, in Surrey. We have three puppy class and dog training schools based in Richmond, Hampton and Walton and also offer private 1:1 training across inner Surrey (within the M25) and SW London.

We use only positive and reward based reinforcement training methods to help show you how to train your dog to become a happy and well balanced member of your family. We also offer advice and support on behavioural issues such as separation anxiety, toileting indoors, barking, jumping up, pulling on lead walks, aggression towards other dogs and people as well as other anti social behaviour.

Lady & the Hound is a small business with a big heart and was founded by Imogen Haley who lives with her 2 year old French Bulldog Albert and 6 year old puppy farm rescue dog, Rita. Our aim is to make training fun and to help show you ways in which you and your family can enjoy your dog and create many happy memories together.

We look forward to meeting you and your pup very soon!
