Before you jump straight into training your ‘reactive’ dog, here are 5 important things to consider first 🐕

Training doesn’t start with teaching skills, it starts with understanding.

Set yourself (and your dog) up for success by laying the right foundation ✨

Outdated dog training ideals? Time to leave them in the past!

Here are 10 outdated dog training ideas you should forget—because your pup deserves modern, science-backed training methods 🐾✨

We’re back! 🐕

Looking forward to catching up with you all this week! 🐾

Good evening!

Nikki will be out of office until Wednesday 12th March ✨ I will still be responding to queries, I do however have limited access to emails and so my response may take longer than usual.

Abigail is still working in the South as usual 🐕

Hope you all are having a great weekend and I will catch up with you all soon 💛

(If you are one of our SA clients, I will still be setting your training plans as usual unless we have discussed otherwise).

You dog’s wellbeing is a top priority, and nobody should make you feel otherwise 🐕

You know the type, the ones who:

- Tell you to let your reactive dog off the lead to sort it out themselves, ‘that’s all they need’.

- Provide unsolicited advice about what you should be doing with your dog.

- Tell you that your reactive dog should be put down.

- Tell you you’re spoiling your dog by giving them too many treats.

- Shout to you that ‘he’s friendly’ and cannot understand why you’re avoiding them.

- The ‘trainer’ that tells you to jerk the lead to train loose lead walking.

- The ones who say ‘it’s just a dog, leave them home alone, they’ll be fine’ when your dog struggles with SA.

Never let anybody make you feel bad for putting your dog’s needs first! 🐾

What would you add to the list? ⬇️

Having a reactive dog can be extremely overwhelming and stressful. Navigating walks becomes a military operation that requires extreme vigilance, skill and sometimes sheer luck! 🍀

There’s a lot of information out there to help reactive dog guardians with what to do to help their dogs, and what not to do.

But there isn’t much information for other dog guardians on how they can also help.

People can be quick to judge and throw shame at the other side, but it’s much more effective to try and help educate everybody instead 🐕

There are many things us non-reactive dog guardians can do to help out reactive dog guardians in making their walks less stressful, for themselves and their dogs 🫶🏼

Happy Walk Your Dog Month! 🐕

A HUGE congratulations to Abigail for passing her (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) qualification 🥳

This year, Ab has worked incredibly hard on her assessment, and her hard work, dedication and passion has paid off!
I couldn’t be prouder to have such a skilled and compassionate trainer on the team ✨

This achievement reflects her commitment to providing the best training and care for every pup (and guardian) she works with 🐶

Well done Ab, here’s to an exciting 2025 💛

If you’re based in Hampshire and you’re looking for expert guidance to help your dog thrive, Ab is ready to help! ✨

As the New Year approaches, and we may begin to set new goals for 2025, here’s a few things to remember:

✨ Of course training has its part to play, but it’s not everything. Remember to enjoy and cherish the time you have with your dog, and try not to get so caught up on their behaviour all of the time. They’re with us for such a short time, let’s make the most 🥰

✨ Dog training progress is not linear, you will have good days, bad days, and everything in between. Your dog is learning, and every dog learns at a different pace. Be sure to take note of and celebrate your small wins, and try not to focus too much on the overarching goal.

✨ Training is only one part of your dog’s behaviour and welfare. In order for your training to be successful, you must also consider factors such as your dog’s health, routine, sleep patterns, learning history, genetics etc. An effective behaviour modification plan accounts for all of the above and more!

If you would like some guidance and support with your 2025 training goals, we’re here to help! We’d love to help you on your training journey with tailored training programs to suit all dogs 🐕

Send us a DM or email us at [email protected] to get started 📧

Christmas time is super stimulating for our dogs, and it’s easy for them to become overwhelmed and overstimulated, resulting in many unwanted behaviours 🐶

Be sure to understand what may be triggering for your dog, and remember these can be both good (over-excited by guests) and bad (fear of fireworks) 🎇

To avoid trigger stacking, ensure your pup has plenty of decompression time this Christmas, through good quality sleep, lots of quiet sniffing opportunities and activities that engage their brain! 🧠

14/12/2024

Good evening!

I will be out of office from Sunday 15th December until Wednesday 18th December ✨

Hope you all are having a great weekend, we’ll be back as normal from Thursday 19th and will catch up with you all then 🐕💛

Happy Holidays! 🎄

Hope you’re all getting into the festive spirit 🎅🏽

Harley certainly is enjoying her daily advent calendar 🤭

Keep your eyes peeled over the next couple weeks for some top tips on keeping your pups calm during this festive period, as well as some safety tips to be mindful of ❄️

28/11/2024

We’ve recently been trying out high quality treats whilst training Harley and with a few of our clients Harley doesn’t know how lucky she is!

As most of our clients know, we sometimes need high-value treats when working with some complex behavioural issues, normal dog treats just don’t cut it!
It’s fantastic for us to know that we can still train effectively with Bella + Duke’s treat range without ever compromising on our dog’s nutrition. We’re absolutely loving the new look and it’s refreshing to have complete trust in a dog food company!

If you’d like to know more about a Bella + Duke diet for your dog, please reach out to us or head over to their website (link in bio). You can also head into your local Pets at Home store to check out their new packaging!

All in for the wellbeing of our dogs 💛
