Monty decided that today was finally the day he behaved like a distinguished, polite little gentleman 🥹
Loose leash walking has never really been his strong suit, because everything must be done at 200mph.
And adolescents is a trying time for all of us 🥲
So usually, he's quite a little sh*t to put it nicely.
But today? Complete opposite.
His lil brain cogs finally got it and we're so proud of him.

put your dog in a tree.
Is your dog a bit of a puff?
Anxious, nervous, generally UN-confident? (Is that a word?)
Well, maybe start making your dog do some weird sh*t.
Works a charm. Put your dog in a tree.

Does your dog actually know what "heel" means?
I will always preach to teach stationary before static - after all, how does your dog know WHERE they should be?
Admittedly, this is something I always teach puppies, don't often don't actually implement while moving until MUCH later on.
I actually don't *want* pups to be in a focused or contact heel at all while they are actively exploring, socializing and learning to be neutral within their environment.
After all, are you truly exploring when you're not diving in head first? 😂

✨Middle✨
It's probably one of the easiest things to train and one of my favorites.
Similar to "tuck" that we posted previously,
"Middle" also helps keep your dog safe and away from a variety of things -
We use it for -
-Keeping the dog safe while there is an off leash dog with no recall
-Waiting at bus stops or in queues on shops
-Recall into the position to make re-leashing your dog quicker and easier.

"Tuck"
It is an awesome skill to have to keep your dog neatly tucked away in busy areas or tight spaces.
Preventing them from being harassed, stepped on or rushed by others, while also giving them a safe space to relax if they get overwhelmed or overstimulated.
Monty has NEVER been shown "Tuck"
But after luring him into position twice - you can see he got the idea very quickly. And even correcting himself if he scoots a little too far or sits instead of laying.
He's so eager to please, he's a Wonderful example as to what training from day 1 can get you.
There's no such thing as too early, or too late.
He's only 7 months old. But God does time fly 🥺

"Tuck" is an awesome skill to have under your belt.
This keeps your dogs safely tucked away, and prevents them from being harassed or stepped on in public places or tight spaces.
While also giving your dog a safe space to relax if they become overwhelmed or overstimulated.
Monty here has never done it before, but he's such a people pleaser, we lured him into position twice, and he hit the ground running.

⚠️Viewer discretion advised⚠️
⚠️Content warning ⚠️
⚠️This is a HARD watch ⚠️
Please, please, please. Research your trainers.
ESPECIALLY the ones who you decide to trust to take your dog in for residential training.
Ask questions, pry, advocate for you and your dog.
If something makes you uncomfortable SPEAK UP.
People like this are within our industry.
They walk among us, seem unsuspecting, kind, and behind closed doors?
This is extra prevalent when it comes to Sport dogs and Personal protection dogs.
MULTIPLE people have purchased dogs from trainers like this because "their dogs win titles, their methods work"
Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think having a dog being pulled my one woman on a slip leash, and then being pulled in another direction on a prong collar, with all their strength, and then to repeatedly WHIP a dog in the head and sides, is a "good and effective training method"
This is quite frankly f**king disgusting.
And it fills me with shame to share the same industry as these pieces of sh*t.
Please, research your trainers.
Look into your behaviourists, your vets, your walkers, your pet sitters...
There is NO room for this.
There is no rhyme, reason, explanation or justification for this.
✨Rant✨
You know what really grinds my f**kin gears?
Off leash dogs.
Now I don't mean dogs minding their own business, doing their thing, playing with their owners and coming back when called.
I'm talking about out of control, off leash dogs.
"They just want to say hi"
"They deserve to sniff"
"If your dog isn't friendly they shouldn't be in public"
"My dog has the right to be a dog"
"Don't worry they're friendly"
"They aren't hurting anyone"
"How can they learn to be off leash, without being off leash"
"They're just a puppy, they're learning"
If you have ever said any of the above - absolutely not. No sir. No ma'am, Stop that.
To those people;
You are not entitled to other people's space.
You are not entitled to allow your dog, to rush other people's dogs and strangers.
You do not have a right to invade other people's space because you are too lazy to train your dog or keep them on a leash until they earn the privilege to be off leash.
You do not know if that dog is friendly
That dog may be aggressive to certain dogs
That dog may be terrified of other dogs
That dog may be recovering from surgery
That dog may be in heat
That dog may be contagious
That dog may be in training
You don't know, because it is not your dog.
Allowing your out of control dogs off leash is not only a criminal offense, it's ignorant, rude, and entitled.
And I will advocate for a dog's space. I guarantee your dog would rather catch my boot than a mouth full of teeth.
Being ignorant about your lack of control, is a quick fire way to be left with a nice vet bill, an injured or traumatized dog, or your dog stolen.
Do better.

🚩red flags in dog trainers/Behaviourists/walkers🚩
Now, I don't really want to talk about it. But, we find ourselves in a position to have to.
We see a LOT of bouncing to and from different trainers/walkers/behaviourists and they all have common themes as to why they are getting let down;
- Quick fixes"
There is NO "Quick fix" method. You can not promise every dog will respond to the same method in a set amount of time.
Just like people, all dogs learn differently.
NO trainer/behaviourist/walker can "guarantee" your dog will be "Fixed" in two one hour sessions without meeting your dog or even talking to you over the phone.
- "you have to be the pack leader/alpha"
I am BAFFLED at how many so called professionals are still using outdated and disproven "science" to support compulsion based training methods. The same guy who founded the "pack leader" movement, later came out to say his study was inaccurate, full of flaws, and did not apply to the domestic dog.
Yet people seem to brush over that and completely deny that it is, and always has been, a load of bollocks.
- "give them a job"
Now. This one, I do agree with.
Dogs do need a job. That's the whole purpose they were bred. BUT - that does NOT mean your Boston needs to be trained like an IGP Belgian.
It means to give your dog purpose.
There is NO use training your PET dog as a working dog.
You can not remedy behavior by masking it with obedience.
And finally, my main complaint - stay in your lanes.
A lot of companies will take on clients they can not help because their ego can't direct them elsewhere, and everyone/everything is seen as competition.
I have seen too many "trainers" who are actually just dog walkers advise customers on complex behavioural issues and in fact make them worse with the advice they give.
If you don't know. Don't advise. Don't comment, and refer them elsewhere to someone who has expertise in that area.
Because your advice, can be and has been, fatal in some cases.

Ladies and gentlemen; ✨Pablo✨
He's booked in with us for training walks and 1-2-1 sessions with his owner Brooke.
Unfortunately, after many failed sessions with another "trainer" pablos excitement based reactivity never truly got addressed.
£500+ later All he learned was how to sit and lay down in a box, and how to be yanked and cranked for every step he took in a slightly less than desired direction 🤯
His owner felt a little deflated, insulted, and spoken down to, and after having a look into it, I don't blame her.
After one initial consultation with Pablos owner, we had already found the gateway to making him less frustrated when unable to meet other dogs, children and people.
We had a chat afterwards about what was missing and what needed to be implemented and it's safe to say Pablos owner is significantly happier, and even told us she had NEVER had *that* much fun before.
She loved it, Pablo loved it, and we love them!
Please don't fall for marketing tactics and how many followers someone has.
Quantity does NOT mean quality.
