Ralph
Introducing the very handsome Ralph, he’s a very timid little guy who is especially nervous around people. But he’s got the sweetest soul and I look forward to building his confidence and seeing his personality blossom. #onestepatatime #dogtrainers #watchthisspace #confidenceiskey #cavapoouk #dogtraining #keepingitfunsimplepositive #buildingtrust
Absolutely Love working on impulse control with the dogs while out on their walks. #impulsecontrol #dogtrainingisfun #dogtrainerlife #sunisshining #rescuedogsrock #blacklabrador #springerspaniels #springtraining
Thursday Spring walk
It’s days like today I’m reminded how lucky I am to have this beautiful scenery as my office.
Had to pause for a moment and listen to the lovely birds singing who are clearly happy for the warmer weather, as am I.
Of course it wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t have my four legged companions with me too.

Max was super impressed with his find today #dogtrainingisfun #redfoxlab #dogtrainers #stickseason #happydoghappylife #livinghisbestlife #dogtraininglife #todayshow #funnydogvideos
Before, during and after our walks today. The rain made a return today on our first two walks but lucky for max and his friends it stayed away on our final walk. Lots of muddy paws to dry off today. #marchshowers #muddypawspack #splash #funwithfriends #dogtrainer
Bailey
Meet the small but almighty Bailey, she’s had quite a crazy story so far in her short life. Her owners adopted her just under a month ago and had enrolled her into puppy classes as they were told she was 9months old.
However when her new family took her to the vets they were told she was in-fact 18 months old. She was a feisty little terrier out on walks especially passing other dogs as you can see in the first two videos.
We jumped straight into training building Baileys foundations of training and making communities between handler and dog much clearer. We also spoke about how to meet Baileys genetic needs too.
Just a few sessions in and Bailey is making lovely progress.
Happy monday everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. Dave my current foster dog went out on some adventures this weekend.
Don’t be fooled by this video we didn’t just turn up and expect long down stays and perfect behaviour from Dave .
While Dave’s been in my care we’ve worked hard building his confidence in new environments and started the building blocks of his engagement work.
Hard work does pay off so keep working towards yours and your dogs goals.

What more could I want then to be surrounded by all these lovely dogs. #lovemyjob #comerainorshine #rescuedogsrock🐾 #muddypaws #nomattertheweather #dogtrainer
After a busy weekend visiting family abroad and feeling abit tired I was very grateful that this group were on their best behaviour and did fantastic on their walk. #mondaymotivation #startingoffontherightfoot #dogtrainer #dogwalks #trainingdays #labradorretriever #cockapoolove
Such a fun start to the week, lovely happy faces enjoying their walks. #happymonday #dogtrainers #workinghardandhavingfun #labradors #rescuedogs #staffordshirebullterrier #cockapoolife #woodlandwalks
The boys were full of beans today but they completed some lovely down-stays too. We’ve been working on proofing their down-stays which means that no matter what the boys remain in their downs until given the release word. We focused mainly on them remaining on their downs while I moved around them. #downstayfordays #onestepatatime #hardworking #tryingtheirbest #dogtrainers #cockapoo #labradorretriever #cockerspaniel #rescuedogs
Lots of happy faces today on our adventures #dogtrainers #rescuedogsrock #labradorretriever #happyfaces #waggytails #woodlandadventures #recalltraining #winterwalks
Christmas and new year celebrations are over which means we’re back to work. I’ve missed seeing all the dogs but we made up for it today, even if the weather wasn’t on our side. #backtowork #happytobeback #lovemyjob #rescuedogs #labradorretriever #rainydays #wetwalkies #fourleggedfriends
No matter how energetic our walks/sessions might be we always make sure we have moments for tickles and a good fuss. #lovemyjob #dogtrainers #labradorretriever #rescuedogsrock #cockerspaniel #woodlandwalk #wintervibes
Days like today make me realise how far these boys have come. I talk to my clients about the importance of filming their sessions so that they can see their progress. when you live with your dog it can be hard to remember how far you’ve come in your training journey . I finished this session today and couldn’t help but smile at how well the boys did. As you can see from the video they remain calm and neutral when other dogs walk by and remain at the side until given their release command. #dogtrainers #wintervibes #goodboys #fourleggedfriends #praticemakesprogress #rescuedogs #cockapoosoftheworld #labradorretriever #staffielove
Starting off on the right foot:
At the start of all my walks/sessions it’s important to make sure all the dogs are in the right mindset to listen/ ready to train.
I’ve worked with all these dogs in various groups or on a 1-1 basis and know them really well. They’d never all met together before but I was confident that this combination would make a great group.
With everyone ready to go and long lines on we did a nice wait before they were released.
Starting off like this brings some calm and gets the dogs engaging with me before we started walking in the woods. #dogtrainers #winterwalks #onestepatatime #rightmindset #startoffontherightfoot #rescuedogs #cockerspaniel #labradorretriever #cockapoo
Lovely to have coco back after her being poorly the last few weeks. She was amazing and eager to train as always. #labradorretriever #backtotraining #feelingbetternow #heelworktraining #dogtrainers #keepingitfunsimplepositive
A very muddy day Wednesday set of walks. Think it’s time for me to start wearing my long boots too. #muddypaws #dogtraining #rescuedogs #keepingitfunsimplepositive #funwithfriends
