Do you know that we offer telephone and FaceTime/Skype training as well as face to face? Barney is a 7 year old rescue who lives in Durham. A few years ago, when they lived in Cheshire, his owners had some sessions with Ami for another family dog. When they got Barney they knew they wanted to work with a trainer they’d tried and trusted, so they started having telephone sessions with Ami. We’re almost one month in now and Barney has settled brilliantly and is making progress with his training. With telephone/FaceTime/Skype training, you will receive full support including video demonstrations and homework checkups as appropriate. Don’t let distance or a busy schedule stop you from giving your dog the best! 🤳

A morning session with Elvis and his new little brother Bruno 🥰. Elvis had sessions with Ami 6 years ago, when he was a puppy. When baby brother Bruno came along, Elvis knew just who to call to ensure a smooth transition from a 1 dog household to 2 😅

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.

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) 🐶🐶❤️
