🐾 Why Small Steps Matter in Dog Training 🐾

Training your dog is a bit like teaching a toddler to put their shoes on the right feet—not impossible, but definitely not happening all at once. 🐶👟

We can’t expect our dogs to go from zero to perfect recall in a week. It takes patience, repetition, and lots of celebration over the small wins (yes, sitting when asked does deserve a mini street party).

Small steps help your dog build confidence and actually understand what you’re asking. And when they get it right, they’re not just behaving—they’re learning to trust you.

So take your time, keep your sessions short and sweet, and don’t forget the snacks. Progress is a process!

Find It

Hide small treats around the room and let your dog use their nose to find them.

It is Monty and Fraggle's favourite game.

Keeping up to date with learning, research and best practice is essential for modern dog trainers and canine behaviour practitioners. 🐶

It took two years and a lot of hard work, but I am pleased to have gained a distinction in the British College of Canine Studies Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma. 👩‍🎓😁

Monty was a very good boy on his visit to The University of Salford where we went to talk to some students about the benefits and practicalities of animal assisted interventions in schools.

For children and adults with a fear of dogs, summer can be especially difficult.

The good news is that by working on your fear of dogs now, you or your child could be able to enjoy parks, beaches and other dog friendly places this summer. 🏖🌞
