Loved getting to know Maya today, a superbly bred GSD puppy in such a fantastic home. Her owners are smashing puppy life but just needed some guidance on that all important recall! Today we stared introducing a recall cue which we’ll build on as Maya grows and matures 🖤••••••#worcester #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #caninebehaviour #dogs #dogsofinstagram #worcestershire #germanshepherd #puppy #gsdpuppy

A truly bullet proof recall takes a lot of commitment but here are three tips to get you started : ⭐️ Work on your dog’s relationship and general engagement with you. Is your dog interested in you when you’re on a walk? If not, this is where you start. ⭐️ Find out what motivates your dog and use that to your advantage! We’re not just talking high value treats here, not every dog is motivated by the same thing. Find it, harness it and build on it. ⭐️ Manage any unwanted behaviours like ignoring you, running over to other dogs etc immediately! The longer your dog rehearses these behaviours the stronger they become. If you want to bulletproof your dogs recall head to prestigecanines.com ••••••#worcester #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #caninebehaviour #dogs #dogsofinstagram #worcestershire

No product you purchase will magically teach your dog to walk on a loose lead 🪄 Despite the appealing promises and clever marketing, there’s no miracle in an anti-pull harness or head collars- if your dog seems to comply with a head collar, it’s merely suppressing the issue, not addressing the underlying cause. Similarly, a slip lead won’t solve all of your walking woes. The key to teaching your dog to walk calmly by your side is not found in a gadget or accessory—it’s in the consistent training and effort you invest. Remember, every dog is unique, and what works for one may not work for another 🤍••••••#worcester #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #caninebehaviour #dogs #dogsofinstagram #worcestershire

I had so much fun working with Odie ⭐️ He spent a week with me, fine tuning his lead walking, recall and throwing in some environmental exposure for good measure. What a great dog 😎••••••#worcester #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #caninebehaviour #dogs #dogsofinstagram #worcestershire
Small dogs deserve training, too! It’s often easy to dismiss the behaviours of small dogs because they seem more manageable and insignificant due to their size. We hear things like, ‘Oh, he thinks he’s a Rottweiler’ and laugh, or dismiss it as ‘little dog syndrome’ with a chuckle. However, it’s no laughing matter for your dog. These behaviours are your dog’s way of expressing feelings, and often, it indicates that they are not in a happy, relaxed state of mind. This needs to be taken seriously by owners for the sake of the dog. So, the next time your small dog displays unwanted behaviours, remember it’s not just a quirk to laugh off. Addressing these issues is crucial for your dog’s wellbeing 🤍••••••#worcester #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #caninebehaviour #dogs #dogsofinstagram #worcestershire
A great little session with Teddy working on his loose lead walking skills.

It’s a hard job but someone’s got to do it 😜 Part of Vasa’s training program was to teach him how to settle in public places. It’s important to note that not all dogs will be comfortable in environments like this and it’s unfair for us to force it on them. However in Vasa’s case, he was very happy to be out and about, he just needed to understand what his role in the situation was. Simple but consistent training techniques, alongside Place training, and he and his owners can now enjoy a well deserved coffee and cake (or something slightly stronger!) after a long walk. Sounds perfect to me 🐾👌🏻 Huge thank you to the dog friendly cafes and pubs in Worcester who always make us feel welcome 💖••••••#worcester #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #caninebehaviour #dogs #dogsofinstagram #worcestershire #doberman #dogfriendly

Lack of breed fulfilment is a common cause of behavioural “problems” in working breeds. Before bringing a working dog home, ask yourself if you can give this type of dog what it needs, because there’s no arguing with hundreds of years worth of breeding. #geneticimpulses #workingdogs #breedfulfillment
