2025 offer. £60 for 4x 1 hour sessions until this offer stops. You will get...
1) 1hour - meet, assessment, agreement on problems, training plan. Depending on the problems identified, we cover rewards, clickers, time management, and general concepts of positive training methods.
2) 1 hour - Adjustments to plan. Progress and increasing the criteria, recall, recall, recall. Variable rewards. Games to help training.
3) 1 hour - reducing anxiety, increasing attention. The 'stop' command, loose lead. Sniffing.
4) 1 hour - Becoming a responsible owner, health, food, increasing your stock of wanted behaviours and extinguishing those you don't.

This is just a general outline, basically we show you the techniques and you practice, practice, practice, in very short sessions, we ramp up the difficulty very quickly, so you learn the concepts until you are able to carry on on your own.

Please contact me on [email protected]

I will send you a link for a quick form to fill in giving me a few details of you and your dog and the current situation, so I have something to refer to later. This is private and just for me.

Then I will contact you to arrange a visit.

Sometimes we will need to go for a short walk depending on the situation. For example reactive dogs, leading pulling, etc.

So how does it work?

Training Process:

Training dogs involves various stages, each tailored to the goals, problems, and mental states of both the dog and the owner. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Information Gathering: First, we get to know the owner, the dog, and their relationship. We assess both general and problem behaviors and set achievable goals with a timeframe.

2. Setting Up a Training Plan: Using the gathered info, we create a training plan. We define rewards and props that will be used.

3. Training: The fun part! Over the next few weeks, we introduce training to both the dog and the owner. We build up a repertoire of behaviors, like good recall, essential for off-lead runs.

4. Re-assessment: Plans don’t always go as expected. After the initial excitement, we reassess to accommodate lifestyle changes, owner time constraints, and the dog’s response to the methods.

5. Lifelong Training: Training is ongoing. Whether it’s about achieving good recall, walking with a loose lead, reducing anxiety, or calming high-energy dogs, the aim is to equip you with the tools to tackle any future issues, resulting in a happy and confident dog.

By following these stages, you and your dog can build a strong, positive relationship and handle whatever life throws your way.

Just read a fascinating book that debunks the whole alpha dog/wolf theory. It argues that dogs descended from the now-extinct grey wolves, so most research has relied on the American timber wolf—a completely different creature. Since studying these wolves in the wild is tough, researchers focused on captive animals, forced into groups with no escape. It's no wonder the findings don't align with how domestic dogs live! The idea that your yorkiepoo wants to go through a doorway first to dominate you is almost laughable. Unfortunately, this misconception fuels punishment training, which involves shock collars, prong collars, ear pinching, and more. Most trainers, myself included, favor positive reinforcement for training dogs. It keeps them happy. Sadly, some 'alphas' still believe in hitting and shouting, insisting that the only reason your dog is behaving badly is because there is no 'alpha' around to bully them.

Pulling on lead. Probably the most requested behaviour after recall. There are many reasons why your dog is racing away from you, predation, excitement, even long legs, so unless you want to run along side the dog, what can you do? Plenty is the answer. Starting with getting out the door... Does the dog rush out pulling you along, while you struggle to close the door. This is all self reinforcing behaviour, the quicker we get out the quicker the dog gets to the exciting stuff. Self restraint is not something that happens naturally, we need to teach the dog that access to the good stuff happens when they behave. We reinforce the behaviour we want to see, and ignore the behaviour we don't. No shouting, no pulling back on the lead, no punishment. Training is as much about controlling our selves as it is about controlling the dog. Next post will be about doors, pinch points and kerbs.

"My dog doesn't like treats, therefor I can't train my dog". Sound familiar? A hungry dog rarely refuses food. Solution - Feed your dog after you have finished training.
" My dog doesn't like treats". Have you tried hot bacon? Free range chicken? Hot dogs is a winner. You can train with toys etc, but treats are much more repeatable, and easier to become a habit which we are trying to achieve.
"But all this food is too much for my dog". You can reduce the food in the bowl to accommodate the treats.

There are sometimes factors that can disrupt the training program, but we have many solutions to most problems. This is rarely something to do with the dog, and quite often just the owners reluctance to change lifestyle.

After a wait of 2 years, I finally have my hearing aids, so now I can actually have a phone conversation. This has meant I had to suspend activities for a while, but I am back now.
