🌸Jasmine🌸. Jasmine started her puppy training this weekend, can’t wait to see what progress she makes 🥰
Sky’s first time off-lead 🏎️ 💫. Recall work starts as soon as possible ❤️
Lead training and roads! 🚗. I see a lot of dogs who walk beautifully on the lead (with or without training), but who pull or rush across roads. Often this is because owners focus on loose-lead walking on the pavement, but when they get to a road they’re in a rush to get across before a car comes. Whilst this seems to make sense, think of it from your dog’s perspective… when we get to a road we run and I can pull! This may be fine when they’re a little puppy but it can be dangerous when they get bigger and stronger, or if they ever slip their lead near a busy road (especially if they associate roads with running!). The simple way around this? Find a quiet road and do some training in it, the same training you’re doing on pavement. Teach your dog that the same rules apply to their lead behaviour on roads as it does on pavements.
Sunday morning snuggles 🥰. 11 week old puppy Skye, and her family, had their first training session today. Next week we start on recall!
Alfie! When we first met he was lunging, spinning and shouting at cars with the strength of a bull! We implemented a training plan and thanks to the dedication and consistency of the work his parents have put in, he’s now not fazed by them, even on a wet day (the sound of water on the tarmac amplifies the tyre sounds). Car ‘chasing’ (and other similar behaviours such as lunging at runners and cyclists), is a common problem with herding breeds. I say chasing in inverted commas because often it’s more a case of wanting to control the movement, rather than chase. The sooner you start to work on it, the easier it is. Walks for Alfie are now more enjoyable for everyone and a lot safer!
Bleu’s first time working on recall on a long-line, and she was FANTASTIC!! So focused and so happy! 🤩
Jester recently got a new little brother, Monty. He knew the best thing to do was give Ami a call to make sure things get off on the right paw and one home visit later, harmony is restored (they were actually getting along really well anyway but it’s always a good idea to have a refresher and cover some multi-dog household basics whenever you bring another dog into the family) 🐶🐶❤️
I’m so proud of the amazing progress this girl (and her parents) have made! Previously, being out in public would involve constant barking, scanning and struggling to relax. We put a plan into place and several sessions later she managed 45 calm minutes in a very busy environment, followed by the woods and finally relaxing in a car park and eating a chew stick (would have been impossible a few weeks ago). It’s never too late to try and teach your dog to be calm, and if you have a young puppy try to incorporate settling time into your walks too. Walks shouldn’t always be go go go❤️
Here’s baby Bruce (and his fabulous ears) enjoying his first training session, to brighten up your Monday 🥹❤️
Loose-lead walking, try to think of the lead as a backup, if your dog did decide to bolt into the road, the lead would stop them, but it isn’t the thing controlling them! Ted had a session to work on loose-lead walking. At the start of this session he was wearing a headcollar and still managing to pull his dad off his feet (Ted’s a big boy!). Well done Teddy! 🖤
GSD puppy Ash snoozed his way through his first training session. Luckily session 1 was information-focused and definitely a case of people training rather than puppy training 😂. Get ready for session 2 Ash because that will be very different!🥰
Two weeks on from his first session and Perez is still loose-lead walking like a dream 🤩. Well done to his parents for putting in the work and continuing to make progress ⭐️
A little meet-up to continue working on good manners, being calm and loose-lead walking for these guys. Superb! 🤩
Elvis had his first session prepping to become a big brother! If you’re expecting a (human) baby getting professional advice before the baby arrives is much easier than trying to do it after, although we’re here to help after too!
Today Hugo and his parents started their training with Cheshire Dog School, can’t wait to see the progress this handsome dude makes 💙⭐️
“It just feels so good cos usually, honestly, I come back and my arm feels like it’s been pulled out of it’s socket”
Perez’s first 121 session this morning, we looked into the root cause of his pulling on the lead which made it much easier to then work on and very quickly see results. If you’ve tried numerous techniques that you’ve seen online, and haven’t seen results, work with a trainer who can actually see, assess and tailor training to YOUR dog. One size doesn’t fit all 🐕
Little Gilbert played, cuddled and snoozed his way through his new puppy home session. We covered all the basics and answered all the questions. Everything is completely individually tailored to your dog and your family and even just one session gives you lots of information to give your puppy the best start in life❤️
Happy Stevie at the end of her first 121 session yesterday 🌞
Basil and Martin aced this trick straight away! It’s not as easy as it looks! ⭐️
Alfie 🤩. When we first met late last year, Alfie was an extreme car-chaser, making walks very stressful and pretty impossible. He has made fantastic progress and today we even managed a session in a car park, surrounded by cars! His family (especially his mum) have been brilliant and patient in putting all his training together. We’ve still got a little way to go but honestly, he has made me so proud and it’s great to see him relaxed and able to enjoy walks now 🥰
Today one of the things we worked on during Roxie’s lesson was ‘do not dive into the bunny’s hutch when she’s being fed’😅. She did very well. A real-life lesson in self-control around distractions. We also worked on behaviour around the family cats and reinforcing self-control around the house.
Real-life training around real-life distractions 🌟💛
“Just to say Thanks again for your help.
As ever your advice is clear, concise and practical and above all easy to remember 🤪
Will keep you posted on Hughie’s recall process.”
A fabulous first recall session for 6 month old Hughie. Even one session will give you LOTS to work on and make a huge difference to your dog’s recall. Send us a message to enquire.
Over the years I’ve met MANY dogs, of all ages, who are scared of the swing bridges of Warrington. With a bit of training, time, patience and dedicated owners, this fear CAN be overcome! 🌟 Well done Doug, the world (and the other side of the river) is your oyster now! 🌟
😍Otto 😍. Smiling because he’s super proud of how hard he worked on his 121 loose-lead walking session! Spaniels can be taught to walk on a loose-lead, it’s not impossible and it makes walks so much more enjoyable for both ends of the lead.
Looking very proud after a great first session for this pretty girl.
Whilst being super intelligent and downright amazing dogs (I own one myself), Border Collies can often struggle with some issues such as car/bike chasing, problems settling in the house, stalking behaviours with other dogs and OCD-type behaviours. I’m not saying that all do, but these behaviours tend to be more apparent in this breed compared to others. It doesn’t have to be this way! Your Collie can learn to relax and what’s more, they’ll enjoy life much more once they learn how to find their off-switch!
If you’d like help finding your Collie’s off-switch send us a message.

These superstars worked on calm walking and greeting around other dogs this weekend. 10/10 🌟 🥰
Dante’s first recall session. Although, like many 5 month old dogs, Dante’s recall is naturally pretty good, he is starting to struggle a bit with distractions. Having a recall session now helps his mum and dad get ahead of his teenage confidence and gives them lots of things to work on to keep off-lead time fun and focused!
Our last post before breaking for Christmas 🎄 Here’s a training idea should you want to provide a bit of mental stimulation for your dog, but also don’t want to leave your armchair 🙌. If your dog knows how to target with a body part, see if they can generalise it to either another object, or another person. Here’s Roxie starting to learn that ‘touch’ (nose target) works with things other than the hand of the person holding the treats. Once she can confidently touch someone else’s hand (say very close by), we can start to add a bit of distance, until Roxie is running across the room between people sat on opposite ends. Try it with ‘paw’ too. Dogs don’t generalise very well when they learn, they learn the whole picture as it’s presented to them. So ‘paw’ means put your paw in my hand. With a bit of work (which they’ll love), you can add another while dimension to their skill set🌟 Have a lovely Christmas and fabulous New Year. Thank you so much for all your support this year. It’s been so wonderful to meet and work with so many lovely dogs and their families for yet another year! ✨
✨ Freedom ✨. These two cutie patooties had their first time off-lead this week 🏎️
