I’ve finally finished this book, it’s a big read! To be honest the key learning is loud and clear on the front cover. If we feel anxious, so will our dog. If we worry about leaving them alone, so will they be. If we are excited, so will they be. If we are super calm and confident then it helps them a lot. They smell our hormones and pick up on very subtle signs of facial expression and body language. They are incredibly intuitive and, to be honest, I don’t think current research has even scratched the surface of what our beautiful furry companions are capable of.

BUSINESS for Dog Professionals

Becoming a Professional Dog Trainer or Behaviour Consultant takes £1000’s of pounds of investment and thousands of hours of study. The study is also ongoing to stay up to date with the latest scientific findings in the field.

Learning about dog behaviour, alongside human behaviour, and putting it in practice, is the key to successful transformation for dogs and their owner’s lives.

Stepping back into building a successful business is another aspect of learning and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather be doing this with than the wonderful ladies at Canine Business Academy.

REFORMED REACTIVITY

Little Bessie was super reactive to cars, people, dogs, bicycles and anything else that moved!

We’ve bee working together for several months now and yesterday we visited our local National Trust park, forgetting it was half term!

Bessie and her family rose to the occasion, with their new skills in place and Bessie did a fabulous job of staying calm for most of the walk. A little wobble but nothing major.

So proud of them for coming so far! ❤️

This has been the most meaningful and excellent course I have ever attended, that has related to dogs. Ken Rameriz, what a guy!!

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This week I’m on a 3 day course with Ken Raminez. A world renound trainer of, not just dogs but all animals. From elephants, to killer whales, to dolphins to grizzly bears to goats to horses. He’s done it all over a career spanning 50 years. He’s an amazing trainer and a thoroughly lovely guy. Thanks to Steve Mann and the IMDT for putting this event on. 🤩👌
Getting breakfast in ready for Day 2!

PUPPY TRAINING

Meet 8 week old Clem. We started a 6 month 1-2-1 puppy training program for him today. This program helps prevent pulling on lead, not coming back when called, jumping up, nipping and biting, resource guarding, toileting in the house, an inability to settle at home or in public spaces and a worried or anxious dog.

So many owners contact me when their dog is in adolescence and has behaviour struggles. Don’t wait until then to train your dog.

Start early and put their best paw forward.

WHY TRAINING RECOVERY IS KEY

PLEASE SHARE WHO I AM AS A DOG TRAINER. I love dogs and I could never deliberately hurt one. Be kind and you will get there, I promise 🥰

FROM REACTIVE TO CALM Huge progress for little Bessie today during a carefully structured socialisation session with two of my lovely clients dogs. Bessie would bark and lunge at literally anything, prior to starting our training sessions. Her mums face was a picture after this moment! Well done Bessie 🤩

BANG!!! He’s such a drama queen 🐾😂 Show me your dogs BANG 💥 in the comments below Type BANG in the comments if you want to learn this trick

MOVEMENT PUZZLES We added some more pieces (obstacles) to the puzzle today. This is progress although we did a few too many repetitions as you can see in see Chester getting tired and stumbling a bit at the end. The purpose is build CONFIDENCE and BODY AWARENESS as he moves over the puzzles. We should see him become more fluid in his movement as he improves.

CONFIDENCE and BODY AWARENESS I thought I’d post a quick update of our initial journey with Movement Puzzles with Mari Valgma - The Moving Canine. Chester has had a past spinal injury so I do have to be mindful of this but we do regular physio and our canine physio is happy with this. We’ve used Spaniel bowls so he doesn’t have to repetitively dip his head down too much. I’ve speeded it up so you won’t get bored! 😂

PACE CHANGES ON WALKS Walking at varying paces during lead training (different gears), really helps your dog to learn to manage their energy and arousal levels on lead. They practice going faster and slower, getting more excited, then calmer and eventually learn to self regulate. Here is the gorgeous Laddu practicing pace changes with her mum for the first time.
