(9)

I am a qualified canine trainer, who educates owners on the use of positive training to strengthen their relationship and communication with their dog. I use scientifically proven training methods to positively reinforce desired behaviours from your dog and to diminish undesirable behaviours. I do not train using fear or ‘dominance- based’ methods, I use positive reinforcement and calm, confident

energy to create well balanced, reliable and obedient canine companions. Your dog will learn consistency with obedience commands and become focused and responsive in new environments. As a result, we will create coherent and transparent communication between owner and dog and make life with your dog happier and stress free. My years of experience contributes to our training together, to create a well-balanced dog who feels confident and comfortable in daily life and understands what you expect and ask for.

GUY FAWKES & your dog!
And it begins already 🥺 Heres my top tips for your pup.

Stay Indoors: Keep your dog indoors during fireworks to prevent them from running away or getting lost due to fear or stress. Microchipping as well as investing in an apple tag for your dogs collar incase they do escape can help you locate them quickly.

Create a Safe Space: Guy Fawkes can be extremely stressful for pets, Set up a comfortable area in your home where your dog can retreat to during the fireworks. This could be a cozy bed with you or crate in a familiar room.

Use Calming Products: Investing in products to help your pets stress such as Adaptil, thundercoats or calmex can help alleviate mild symptoms of stress in your dog. For dogs with anxiety or severe sound sensitivities it is best to discuss options with your vet.

Distract with Noise: Playing soft music or white noise can help mask the sound of fireworks.

Exercise Beforehand: Take your dog for a long walk or play with them before the fireworks start so they are feeling more settled and relaxed.

Enrichment: Utilise enrichment toys and feeders such as ZOGOFLEX to keep your pet occupied and calm. Toys and games that gets your dog chewing, licking or sniffing can have a calming effect on their mood.

Desensitization: If your dog shows signs of stress and anxiety during Guy Fawkes, it is best to take a proactive approach and align with a trainer who can help you desensitize and counter condition your dog to these sounds so your dog can feel more comfortable in the future. You can start this training with young puppies and older dogs!

✨Owner consult with Moosey✨
Every time i see Moose he gets more handsome! Awesome to see the exercises and practice making nice progress with moose. Moose is far more toy motivated than food when it comes to learning, but his owners have great skills with awesome hand/eye coordination and timing to teach him new things with a currency he wants to be paid in most.

✨Manners with Remy✨
Handsome pup Remy came to see me for some manners and recall training. Remy loves people which can involve jumping, lunging and whining, and then love nibbles if he cant get you 😅 So we started with some basics around impulse control and sitting for pets. Then built to recall and name recognition which will be super helpful in the park around distractions.

Handsome boy Obi and his owner did amazing working on CC and DS around stoog dogs today. Obi already has a wealth of training which we were able to utilize to help direct him to make better decisions around dogs.

✨Fun stuff with Boston✨
Hands down this was one of the best emails to read when the booking came through for Boston. Wanting to focus on how to teach him fun games and tricks to work his mind (MORE OF THIS REQUEST PLEASE).
I really wanted to give Boston & his mum plenty of fun activities and how to advance them so he gets better and better. We worked on pivot work, different positioning, running around items and scent work. Finishing up with impulse control around the flirt pole games. 10/10 trainer and dog very happy 🤣
