Some wonderful settling in class last week! Such an important skill for our dogs to have that off switch and not be constantly on the go when outside

Who I am and what I offer!
I am a rewards based training, focusing on the reasons why our dogs behave the way they do and how we can set them (and us) up for training success. I believe training can (and should) be fun for all.
121s: I travel to you and we do the training in your home/garden and surrounding area. In these the focus of the sessions is based on your priority learnings and what you’d like to focus training on. Gives you flexibility for sessions with options Sunday-Thursday including some evenings.

Training Walks: these are set up as a block of 8 sessions over 4 weeks (twice weekly) sessions, the 1st and 8th sessions are 121 in style to ensure we are doing the same training and progress is going as expected. The six middle sessions involve me taking your dog out for training on my own which is designed to give you a bit of a break from the frustration and take some of the pressure off you.

Group Classes Levels 1-3: Covering a range of exercises to set you and your dog up for success. Using the class environment we can set up controlled distractions to help your dog learn to focus around other dogs and people.

Is there a better feeling that the connection with your dog?
The love this little guy has makes my heart so full 🥰

Feeding Enrichment!
An easy way to add some mental stimulation to our dogs with something we do on a daily basis- meal times!
I mix and match through a variety of options to keep it interesting for Cooper. I have some for wet food (licki-mats) and some for dry (snuffle mat, wobble dispensers, food ball, puzzle feeders). These can also be really useful for dogs that like to eat at lightning speed! Making them work harder to get all of their food.
What type of enrichment feeders do you like to use?

Hope everyone is feeling rested and refreshed after the festive season! Cooper has certainly been enjoying relaxing with us at home more 😂
For anyone that has contacted me I'm slowly working my way through messages and emails 🥰 looking forward to getting stuck in to another year of training and wonderful dogs ❤️

121 and Training Walks: If you are thinking of getting some help training your dog and aren't sure which option is right for you. Here are some of the benefits of 121s and training walks that I offer

121s are a great option for lots of reasons
- owners who have specific issues to be worked on
- you can't commit to a regular class time- flexibility with sessions scheduled around you
-exercises tailored to you and your dog
-you want to do the training in the locations you have issues, we can take the training to your home/regular walk locations etc.
-help show what to do in those unexpected situations- classes consist of controlled distractions, training in the real world can help us manage the situations in the real world without a trainer always there.

Training Walks also can add
-taking the pressure off you for the training have me come and do it for you!
-help add consistency into the training routine which helps the training turn into normal behaviour
-giving you time off. If your dog is causing a great deal of frustration, having a day off from walking your dog twice a week can be hugely beneficial for your relationship with your dog.

Merry Christmas to everyone and your lovely pets 🙂 2024 has been a wonderful year of training- so much progress and so many happy owners and dogs 🥰

I will be taking some time off from today until the new year- so please expect some delays in replies. I will intermittently be checking emails and messages.

Teaching dogs stillness! Focus and keeping still when out and around distractions is a challenge for our dogs. Here are some from a Level 1 class showing how it is done 🥰

Confidence building 121s with this adorable boy 🥰

09/12/2024

This lovely boy is doing a block of Training Walks- working on focusing on the person holding the lead and not trying to play with every person and dog he sees. We spent time finding what makes his brain tick and finding rewards that are motivating for him. He's doing an amazing job building up how close we can get to distractions while feeling focused and calm 🥰

Want to start off the new year having fun with your dog? Teaching them skills to have a happy life together? My five week training course covers a range of skills to help you with your puppy/rescue/teenage dog. We will do training on recall, loose lead walking, focus, settling around distractions, drop, coming away from distractions etc. We will also have discussions on understanding canine body language, diet, jumping up, dealing with those crazy zoomies, mouthing and common issues.
Message any questions or to get booked in! 🥰

Sniffing on walks!
At times this can feel frustrating, standing around, trying to be patient while they sniff the same blade of grass for five minutes. However, it is an important part of their walk for them to sniff. This is how they pick up information about the world around them, find out about other dogs that may have been on the same walk and about any other animals that are hanging around.
Sniffing can improve their mood by releasing dopamine, also helping with reducing anxiety. Overall it gives them the mental stimulation they need to then settle better at home and feel happy and relaxed.

When the distractions follow you around the park 😂 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #positivereinforcement #dog

Keeping enrichment simple! #dog #dogenrichment #doodle

What a wee champ 🥰 working so well at disengaging from dogs and people. The world can be scary for our dogs, especially the small ones! We are giants to them and sometimes they feel the need to bark to get some of the scary things to go away. Helping support and teach them we can be safe around these things and just move away and no pressure to interact helps them realise we don't need to shout at the world 🥰

Training doesn't have to be all serious and life is too short not to make it fun! In this session I'm teaching this pup that whatever I'm doing/whatever is happening she is to stay on her task (in this case I cued her to stay in her sit) #dog #dogtraininguk #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementtrainer #positivereinforcement #puppy

Some fun on our Training Walk 🥰

Crate Training! Done correctly can be a very useful skill for our dogs to have. Do your dogs use a crate? #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementtrainer #dogtraininguk #positivereinforcement
