When buying a puppy, make sure you know what you are buying and you look into the breed so there are no huge surprises or unexpected challenges ❤️

K9 Cadets Page and Website will be going through a revamp and a change in buisness number.
All updates will be posted accordingly.

Ps it's Odins Birthday and he got to see his mam.
As you can see he's ecstatic. I'm not sure she felt the same at first 🤣🤣

Training your dog isn't about creating a robot. Celebrate each win and remember its a process that takes time. Don't miss out on little wins staring at the end goal.
Odin is a highly reactive dog to everything that moves. For him to regain focus in training and stay with me is huge for him.
He let 2 dogs pass and stayed in stay and engaging with me. To some this sounds like nothing. Odin is turning 1. This has took time and patience and constant changes of distractions.
Don't forget to love the process, otherwise you'll not appreciate the goal. 🐕

Here's some unedited videos of training with Odin today. When you see trainers with perfect dogs and the handler has no expression and there's no praise given....just remember they are videos that are edited...what is being a dog trainer? Looking like you've came out of the homeless shelter acting an absolute tit with your dog.
If they're a good dog, tell them they're a good dog

THE MOST OVERLOOKED TRICK IN THE BOOK....THE ART OF NOTHING.....
If I stop moving, no matter how busy or how many distractions there are, my dog should sit down. Especially if I sit down like in this video. I gave odin no instructions to sit but as its engraved in him, this could save his life.
Just because your dog is friendly with people and other dogs doesn't mean other people and other dogs are..... keep your dog safe.

Once the lead is unclipped, don't get into the practice of letting that little clip noise as a cue for your dog to bolt. Even once they are free, they still should wait for instruction ❤️ any help with loose lead walking or recall, hit that message button ❤️

06/03/2024

Always praise your dog for the littlest of good behaviour that you want. Treats and play shouldn't always be your focus of praise as you might not have your Treats or toys in a harder situation. Using good boy or good girl as a word of praise and not as a cue for a treat is always great as your dog doesn't expect anything, they just like being told they're doing a good job and what they are doing is the behaviour you want.
Always correct the behaviour you do not want as you will have a dog that walks all over you ❤️

Crate training can be a complex one and can be used in the wrong way. If you need any tips for crate training and making it a place they want to be, or any other training please give me a message.

04/12/2023

When crate training or general use of the dog crate, it should always be used as a positive place. Your dog should want to go in willingly and on their own accord as their safe space and den.
Don't just use the crate when leaving your dog as they will only associate it with you leaving or where they feel trapped.

If you need any advice or help with crate training please feel free to give me a message ❤️

For anyone who owns a XL bully type breed. Please I emphasise on the word TYPE. THE XL BULLY is a dog that has certain physical features. However as a defined breed it does not exist as it is a dog that looks a certain way that is a mixture of the bull breeds. Ie Staffordshire bull terrier, mix pitbull or bull mastiff and bull dog.
There can be confusion with this and this legislation will be a very difficult one to implement.
Please read the link below.

I see a lot of the winter pups being born for Christmas. I know this time of year is challenging as it is, never mind bringing in a new pup.

I have some Xmas puppy pack specials available to have "perfect puppy" starter kits.

The dos and don'ts and the facts and fos

One piece of advice I can give, please don't think your dog is going through a phase such as a lead pulling phase. It doesn't exist unfortunately. If a dog shows bad behaviour as a pup it will most likely do so as an adult.

Things that seem so simple can turn into big adult issues. So feel free to message for the "silliest thing"

A dog should be a walk in the park,
Literally. ❤️

Treat tips!

DO NOT GIVE YOUR PUP ANYTHING WITH RAWHIDE! YOU MAY AS WELL GIVE THEM A BOWL OF POISON. THEY ARE EXTREMELY BAD AND HAVE NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE AT ALL.

DO NOT give your dog dentisticks, they hold no nutrition and DO NOT clean your dogs teeth.

100% natural chews and bones are the best thing for you dog. You can get box bundles or pick and mix at most pet shops. These keep your dogs teeth clean while adding nutrition.

Long lasting root tree treats can be used as kong toys and last MONTHS. fill it with dog natural paste and let your dog lick and chew for over 20 mins and this is equivalent to taking them on an hour run.

It's about the stimulation and these keep them well stimulated and clean their teeth at the same time.

ALWAYS read the label and make sure you see GRAIN FREE and 100% natural meat.
You would be very surprised what is in dog treats and how they are even allowed to be sold is beyond me.
Always look into what you give your dog as dog foods and treats can actually cause behaviour problems.
