📢 You don’t need expensive tools to train your dog. 🐶✋

Forget fancy gadgets, overpriced collars, or gimmicky courses…
The best tools are already in your hands.

✨ Your voice – Calm, consistent tone > shouting every time. Dogs respond to energy, not volume.

✨ Your timing – Reward the moment they get it right. Even a 2-second delay can confuse the message.

✨ Your treats – Small, natural, high-value rewards. Not a bag of dry biscuits from the corner shop.

✨ Your body language – Dogs read movement better than words. Stay relaxed, stay present.

✨ Your consistency – Same cues. Same expectations. Every time. That’s how habits are built.

You don’t need a £200 lead to raise a good dog.
You need patience, praise, and a pouch of decent treats. 🐾

📌 Save this if you’re training smart, not just spending.

If your dog’s barking is driving you mad, it’s not just “bad behaviour.”

There’s usually a deeper reason behind it—and once you find it, you can finally fix it.

👇🏼See below for more gems 👇🏼

1. Boredom – Dogs need mental stimulation just as much as physical exercise. No enrichment = barking out of frustration.
2. Lack of structure – Inconsistent routines can make dogs feel uncertain and anxious—and barking becomes their way of coping.
3. Unspent energy – A quick walk might not cut it. High-energy breeds need real outlets like chews, sniffing games, and proper play.
4. Reinforced behaviour – If barking gets your attention (even if it’s negative), they’ll keep doing it. Dogs repeat what works.
5. Unmet needs – Hunger, discomfort, or even the wrong kind of treat can leave your dog unsettled. When their needs go unmet, barking becomes their voice.

✅ Focus less on punishment—and more on meeting the root need behind the bark.
✅ Natural chews and structured enrichment are often the quiet fix you’re looking for.

📌 Save this for the next time your dog gets loud. 🐾

📢 💬 Text convos we can all relate to…

When you find treats your dog actually loves, you don’t think twice. 🐾✨

✔ 100% natural & healthy
✔ Loved by dogs (and their humans!)
✔ Next-day delivery for when you’re running low

Because once your pup gets a taste of real, natural treats—there’s no going back. 💙

📌 Tap ‘save’ for when you need to restock!

Rawhide might be everywhere, but here’s what a lot of dog owners don’t know:

❌ Hard to digest – Can swell in the stomach and cause blockages
❌ Full of chemicals – Bleached, treated, and packed with artificial ingredients
❌ Not as ‘natural’ as it seems – Often glued together with toxic adhesives

Your dog deserves better. 🐾✨

At Pups & Pals, we do chews differently—100% natural, air-dried, and packed with real nutrition. No nasties, no risks—just high-quality treats dogs love.

📌 Drop a 🐶 if your pup has already made the switch!

Using treats for training isn’t just about rewards—it’s about building behaviour that lasts. But here’s what many dog owners miss:

✔ It’s not bribery, it’s reinforcement – Dogs don’t work for free! Just like we expect a paycheck, they need a reason to listen. The right treats = better focus & faster learning.

✔ Not all treats are equal – Low-value biscuits at home won’t cut it when training in distractions. High-value, natural treats make all the difference.

✔ You CAN phase them out – Worried about your dog only responding with food? Once behaviours are solid, you can swap treats for praise, toys, or life rewards.

✔ Treat size matters – Training treats should be small, soft, and easy to eat so your dog stays engaged without getting full.

✔ Timing is everything – Give the treat immediately when your dog gets it right. Too late? They won’t connect the behaviour with the reward.

Ever noticed how store-bought treats smell fine to us—but dogs turn their noses up? That’s because they’re packed with fillers, artificial flavours, and things they don’t actually want to eat. ❌

Our treats? 100% natural, air-dried, and packed with real nutrition. They might not smell great to us, but to dogs? Absolute heaven. 🐾✨

Because when it comes to treats, it’s not about what smells good to you—it’s about what’s actually good for them. 💙
