THE PICTURE ATTACHED TO THIS POST MAY SHOCK YOU!!!!

This is why i always advocate for crate usage in cars. Preferably not wire crates, because in the case of a crash it will not protect the dog.

Sky kennels or crash tested crates are the best protection for your dog during a car ride.

If you are choosing a professional to take your dogs in a vehicle, whether that be a trainer, walker or any other care provider please ensure they will crate your dog in a safe crate, they cannot predict when an accident will happen and if they will not crate your dog please avoid using their service.

A wire crate is better than no crate, BUT i would urge anyone to get crash tested crates despite the extra cost.

Wire crates will bend and are easily damaged, this could potentially harm your dog further, aswell as the impact itself if the worst were to happen and your dogs care provider or yourself were unfortunate enough to be in a crash.

If you would like to know what crates i would recommend for safe travel with your dogs please send me a DM and i will let you know what i would recommend 🙂

TRAIN YOUR DOGS

Whether you get professional help or not, just train your dogs!

When you get a dog you are obliged to teach that dog how to behave.

I dont know how many times i have to say it but ill say it until it sinks in for people: do not allow your dog to frighten other dogs, get your dog off the harness put it on a grot and correct that rude behaviour before the dog ends up getting booted. End of.

Thats my little message for today👍

If your dogs cannot pass other dogs without going up to them, especially fearful dogs that dont want to socialise you either need to train your dogs or put them on a lead. It is unfair to ruin other peoples hard work because you have this nonsense theory that dogs have a god given right to approach any dog they like and have the right to be off lead. Off lead priveleges are earned not a right.

You are rude and so are your dogs if they cannot leave other people and their dogs alone. Dont be surprised when your dogs get bitten or someone gets angry at you, or simply kicks your dog away because it is frightening their fearful dog.

I am sick to death of it.

PLEASE NOTE.

Due to time wasters I will only give 2 opportunities to come to the training sessions, if my time is wasted on both occasions you will be black listed and I won't be willing to help you anymore.

I am doing this for free and the least I expect is a message to cancel well in advance if you change your mind or cannot make it. Please bare this in mind before booking with me.

I am offering my help for free, I do not appreciate having my time wasted.

FREE DOG TRAINING

I am offering free dog training sessions as I am looking to build my client Base in the Willenhall, Walsall and Wolverhampton areas.

I have been mentored by some of the best trainers in the country, and continue to work with other trainers to learn as much as possible so that I am able to help others with their dogs.

The approach is balanced.

I tailor this approach to the individual dog as no 2 dogs are the same. Regardless of breed and breed traits every dog is an individual with their own needs and personality.

I am offering obedience training and behaviour modification, confidence building and more.

I am starting from scratch due to being out of work from injury and illness since late spring/early summer.

Sessions will take place in Willenhall at a location chosen by myself.

If anyone is interested or needs help with anything please get in touch.

I am a premium dog training service that goes above and beyond for your dogs, tailoring my training to the dogs needs that is in front of me. If you feel your dog would benefit from some training do not hesitate to contact.

I will always promote safety, and i am very honest about what should be done with your dog. I have much more knowledge than the average dog trainer after spending thousands of pounds on improving my knowledge of dog behaviour and training. Qualifications mean absolutely nothing in this field of work, anybody can do a quick online course and call theirselves a dog trainer with no experience of handling dogs or any real knowledge of what they are doing. Please don't be fooled by these "trainers".

I am a no nonsense trainer and if my advice if followed every step of the way you will see quick results with your dog whether that is general training or behaviour modification.

I have multiple successful cases resolving dog reactivity and helping owners become confident in handling their dogs.

Please contact today if you are struggling with anything at all, I can help you.

Hope to be back out there training soon.

For those that dont know I broke my ankle May 25th and have had delayed healing due to type 1 diabetes and also ended up with blood clots on my lungs. As soon as I am healed and ready to start training again I will be looking for new clients.

I will not be accepting just anybody any more, only dedicated hard-working people will be accepted. It's time people walked the walk instead of talking the talk when it comes to training their dogs.

Prices will be increasing when I am back as I can't do myself out of a decent living any longer. Hope everyone understands this as there is nobody else in the local area that did training for as cheap as I was and I feel this was putting me back.

Clients that are dedicated will be willing to pay more to get their dog to a good level of training in my eyes.

This is by no means a dig at anybody and I hope this does not put off future clients.

It's time to build this business into what I know it can be.

We are seeing lots of misinformation online from other "professionals" telling people to clap if your dog is being attacked to deter the dog. This is not the way to help your dog if it is unfortunate enough to be attacked by another dog.

The only way you will save your dog in the event of a dog attack is to choke the attacking dog off. Always carry a spare lead with you, and do not be afraid to do what has to be done to save your dog!

I am also seeing misinformation on tools (e.g prong collar and e collar) some people are spreading that the e collar was banned in February this year, this is not the truth! The ban was thrown out due to the overwhelming evidence that dogs are not hurt or shut down by an e collar!

Please consult a dog trainer if you want clear advice on how to keep your dog safe. We are not saying you have to come to us, but please seek a good trainer that can explain and show you how things work.

That being said, if anybody wants to learn how to prevent or stop a dog attack, you are more than welcome to book in with us! If you have any other dog training related queries feel free to ask or book in.

First aid providers should not be giving advice on training, tools or splitting up a dog fight, especially with poor misinformation that will potentially put your dog in more danger.

Please stay in your own lane people, if you are a first aid provider then stick to giving first aid advice!
