“I found the place board after searching for so long online and not being able to find exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price, I managed to find Anglian Dog Works place board and honestly couldn’t be happier, it’s so well made, it’s clearly been designed by dog owners who have thought through the design and durability of the place board! And it’s such a reasonable price!!! Honestly couldn’t be happier we will definitely be ordering more in the future once we are ready for multiple place positions during our agility work!! Thank you so much team we can’t wait to share our progress with you” Grant, Anglian Dog Works Customer

“Our 11 month old puppy is having such fun doing her first agility training! We all loved the taster session Emma ran and signed up straight away to do the Bronze 6 week course. Each session is very well organised, with exercises clearly explained and the emphasis is on your dog enjoying it all! We are learning so much from Emma and enjoying doing something different with our pup. Emma's love for what she does is very evident! Thank you Emma!” Debbie, Anglian Dog Works Client

Teach Your Dog Steering with "Left" & "Right" 🐶➡️⬅️

A loose turn is when your dog turns left or right ahead of you—different from a tight turn/wing wrap, which is a full U-turn around an obstacle. Perfect for agility, canicross, or just avoiding tripping over them on a walk! 🏃‍♂️🐾

You’ll Need:
🔹 3 obstacles (jump wings, chairs, cones, bins—whatever you have!)
🔹 2 bowls
🔹 A handful of treats

Decide on Your Words:
🔸 Left = Anticlockwise turn (dog turns on their left shoulder, my right arm is out)
🔸 Right = Clockwise turn

How to Train It:
Dog trainers follow a simple 3-step formula for teaching any new skill:

1️⃣ Lure – Use food in your hand to guide the turn.
2️⃣ Fade the Lure – Your hand closest to them is empty; reward after the turn, building independence.
3️⃣ Add a Cue – Be consistent! "Left", "Right"

🎯 Want to level up? Increase distance (how big the circuit is), duration (how many times they circle for each reward), or add distraction (e.g. tep away while your dog is turning to see if they stay committed to the obstacle and direction you've cued).

🔥 Try this and let me know how your dog gets on! Share this with a friend who wants better steering on walks or in sport! 🚀

Professional vs. DIY 📸

Have you ever tried to DIY something, only to realize it’s a lot harder than it looks? 🙋‍♀️ That was me recently when I decided to take some studio photos ahead of our website relaunch (watch this space! 👀).

I had the vision, the tools, and plenty of enthusiasm—but the results? Well… swipe to see for yourself ➡️

Luckily, I reached out to my friend, a professional photographer . Fast forward to her studio—she knew exactly how to frame the shots, light the scene, and bring my vision to life. The final images? Absolutely stunning. Exactly what I needed!

It got me thinking: this is just like the transformation I help my clients achieve with their dogs.

🐾 At first glance, dog training might seem simple. You’ve got your treats, your tools, and your enthusiasm. But when things don’t go as planned—when recall fails, your dog won’t respond, or distractions take over—it can feel overwhelming.

That’s where working with a professional makes all the difference. I can guide you and your dog through those challenges, helping you achieve results that might feel out of reach on your own. Just like my photographer friend, I know the techniques, tools, and strategies to bring out the very best.

If you’re feeling stuck with your dog’s training, head to my website (link in bio) or book a free consultation call to discuss your goals.

Investing in professional support—whether for photos or dog training—isn’t just about the results. It’s about the confidence and peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re in expert hands. 💪

As professional trainers, we find ourselves busy helping others with their dogs, so it was lovely to set aside some time to catch up & train our own dogs.

It was lovely to welcome Emma from with a group that she had put together to bring to the Private Gundog Workshop she had booked.

It was a group of mixed experience, but everyone did brilliantly and went away with specific homework to do. It as lovely see familiar faces as well as new, and a pleasure to teach you and your dogs.

Workshops are now done for the autumn/Winter, but if you have a group of friends that you would like to book a workshop for in Spring/Summer 2025, then please don't hesitate to contact me.

Here is just one of the lovely photos of the session taken by where Thea just needed a little encouragement to work out how to get to the dummy 📸❤️

Emails with the link to the whole photo gallery have been sent to those who attended the session. If you have not received it, please contact me.

Top 3 Tips to Help Your Dog This Week:
Based on our feature in the Linton News

1. Create a Safe Space: Build a cosy den with blankets to muffle noise and help your dog feel secure during fireworks.

2. Sound at Home: Play firework sounds softly during the lead-up to desensitize your dog. On the night, play calming music to help mask the bangs.

3. Exercise Earlier in the Day: Ensure your dog gets a good workout before dark so they’re calm when the fireworks start. For training options, check out Anglian Dog Works—click the link in our bio!

🎆 Fireworks season is here, and while it brings excitement for us, it can be a scary time for our pets. Loud noises and bright flashes may cause them to run away in fear. Microchipping your pet helps ensure they have a safe way back home if they get lost. Visit Pawfect Aid to get your pet microchipped and give them an extra layer of security!

🐾 Microchipping Your Pet: It’s Important and It’s the Law! 🐾

Did you know that in the UK, all pets must be microchipped? It’s an easy, affordable way to keep them safe and make sure they can be identified if they ever go missing. The fine for not microchipping is up to £500, while the cost of microchipping with pawfect aid is just £16!

Keep your pets safe, comply with the law, and give yourself peace of mind! 💖

Beyond the training field, Place Board training can be a day to day aid. Dog Training Platforms are a shared language you can use to communicate with your dog when you need them to sit and stay; from getting on with the task at hand to letting visitors in the door, they're a versatile tool for your training kit.

As the pheasants went to roost and the night woke up, a Place Board helped Thea sit stay for a photo in front of this months beautiful Hunters Moon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"We had a great time at the agility taster, and more importantly, so did our 1-year-old spaniel! It was great to build his confidence and Emma was very knowledgeable with tips and suggestions to improve his focus and selective hearing! Great way to test out agility and see if it was something to try in the future with our dog - plus there were some great shots of him in action!" 💬 Denzel's HuMum Megal, FUNGility attendee

🎯 Watch Darwin in action! He's T.A.R.G.E.T trained, so the Place Board is a 'hotspot' for rewards, which reinforces his steadiness, a direct return, and delivery to hand - even over obstacles and tough terrain. 🐾 The Place Board is our go-to tool for teaching precise gundog skills, including steadiness to fall, recall and delivery to hand on every retrieve! Have you tried using a Place Board in your training? Let us know how it’s going in the comments! 👇 #PlaceBoard #DogTrainingPlatform #GundogTraining #FoxredLabrador #MarkedRetrieves #DogTraining #RetrieverTraining

A big thank you to Lucy @canine In-Tuition for hosting a private group of ADW members for a Private Gundog Workshop at her ground near Ousden last weekend Training themes included Place Boards, Heekwork, Steadiness and Retrieves.

Teach your dog calm greetings with a Place board – the ultimate Dog Training Platform! 🐾 The placeboard acts as a reward hotspot, helping your dog learn boundaries and self-control. Luna is T.A.R.G.E.T trained, meaning she knows the placeboard is where all the good stuff happens! With consistent practice, she’s proofed against smaller distractions, using movement and voice to mimic real scenarios, before tackling the excitement of guests arriving. Luna now calmly sits and stays, no matter who comes through the door. Doesn’t she make it look easy? Look at that happy Spaniel! 🐶 Ready to train your dog to greet guests calmly?
