Stanton Dog Guy (2025)

Roscoe - 5½ yr old Bulldog 😍 He's awesome! When we first met (3 sessions in now...) he wasn't happy with strange people coming into the house, not ideal in a busy household, but now, he couldn't care less! Didn't even really acknowledge me this morning 🤣 The more challenging area for improvement was outside as he was reactive to dogs and stubborn on going/not going and then would dictate where he goes. We did his loose lead lesson on our first training session. It's been a while since I've had a dog make me work as hard as Roscoe did. He tried everything to not do as he was told 😅 'Alligator death rolls' galore but within the first session he did brilliantly and has come on leaps and bounds in the past couple of weeks. Walking like a champ for his owner, no more pulling or rolling around, and, no more reactivity! He'll be joining us in a class environment soon 🥰

Stevie - 6 month old Working Cocker Spaniel (not a springer... 😅). She is awesome 😍 Lovely young dog with a fantastic personality and temperament. She's bidding and attentive, engaged and intelligent. And of course she's super loving and affectionate 🥰 She's doing really well with most aspects of her development. She attended our 'fundamentals' class so has got all the basics nailed, just needs to keep working through to see them all as super dependable behaviours. She also needs a little morning guidance while out the house as she pulls on the lead and struggles to understand what her owner wants from her, so we'll be taking her through a loose lead lesson soon. Finally a little tidying up around her manners (jumping up and counter surfing) and she'll be the perfect pooch 😁🐾🙌🏼

Archie - 13 month old Sprocker 😍 He's a cracking young dog who does very well with his obediences and is keen to learn. His challenges are more around when he decides he doesn't want to do something. He's struggled to understand his place in his pack and has been known to 'snap' at his owners when told to do something he doesn't want to... As I said, he's a really good boy, he just needs a little nudge in the right direction to see him become more complient, which shouldn't take too much as he's still young and eager to learn.

Intermediate group graduation last night too...
Again, all did exceptionally well and have huge potential. Wishing them all the best with developing all they've learnt further 👏🏻😁

Graduation night again last night, and another group finishing the fundamentals course.
The standard was really high with all, especially considering the average age! Wishing them all the best with developing their skills further in the real world 😁

Reeva - 3½yr old Dachshund 😍 She's a lovely little dog, really sweet natured and affectionate. She's generally a very good girl, although she is brushing up on some manners around jumping up and food... her biggest area for development is outside the house. She hasn't had the right guidance on walks and feels the need to protect herself and owners, causing her unnecessary stress and promoting her to be reactive to other dogs. We did a loose lead lesson today which she did brilliantly in. Happily and calmly walking by her owners side 😁 We've still got a little work to do around her reactivity but she now has the foundations to build on 🙌🏼

Thor - 12 yr old Labrador 😍 He is lovely... He was rescued and short while ago and already had exceptional behaviour. The only area he needed any guidance in was around reactivity, which, took all of 5 minutes to stop 😅 He just needed a little nudge back in the right direction... He's now able to enjoy the golden years and live his best life, relaxing without any concerns. I wish they all made it this easy 🤔🤣

Stanley - 10 month old Staffy ❤️ Yes, he is stunning 😅😍 And mostly a very good boy. He completed our 'Fundamentals' class and is practicing the things he learnt in the real world so is developing his obediences nicely... He's had little direction outside so was all over the place on his lead and hasn't worked his recall enough to be trusted off lead, so he's still working through pieces but is enjoying the practice. He had a loose lesson yesterday, and, although he made me work a little, he picked it up quickly enough and was walking beautifully for both owners within an hour. As with all young dogs, he's going to test his boundaries and rules so he knows what's expected of him, it's just important that he gets clear and consistent messages so he can learn quickly. Absolutely loving watching him grow and develop 🥰

Amber - 3yr old Romania rescue. She is a lovely dog who is loving and affectionate with the people she knows. Unfortunately, she is unsure of people she doesn't know, particularly when they are in her home which manifest in prolonged barking and feeling insecure. She was also reactive to other dogs when on her lead and had unreliable recall. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with... 😍 After just 1 session she had forgotten she was reactive 😅 making walks a joy and now able to explore more new places. Her recall has been fantastic (although she is still on a long lead as she needs more time to practice around high level distractions) and her behaviour with me today (we've only met 4 times) was exceptional! Her confidence has grown so much in just a few weeks it's amazing to see! Onwards and upwards for this little one 🙌🏼😁

28/02/2025

Jet - 2yr old Rottweiler 😍 She is awesome! She's had some really good training in the past so has all the capability in the world, however, she chooses when she wants to listen. Her lead work is already very good (lovely to see...) although she can be reactive towards dogs, particularly smaller ones so we'll do some work around this too. It should be a reasonably simply task of brushing up on old training for her and ensuring her guidance and leadership is clear and consistent to see her fulfil her huge potential 😁

22/02/2025

Po - 4yr old Staff x Shar Pei 🥰 He's a lovely dog who does exceptionally well in areas surrounding his obediences at home. His challenges are mostly around being outdoors as he becomes over stimulated and aroused. He struggled to take direction outside, meaning he was a puller on the lead, and due to a lack of exposure to things he can be reactive and chew his lead through frustration. He's had his loose lead lesson today and absolutely bossed it! He actually surprised me with how well he did and how quickly, happy to follow calmly and take instruction, even around dogs. Shown huge promise today so I'm looking forward to seeing how far we can get with him 😁

Teddy - 2yr old Miniature Poodle 🐩 He's a lovely little dog who mostly does very well, but he lacks confidence and is insecure in various situations. We've done a few bits of work to bring his confidence up and he's now feeling and getting on much better in all areas. He pulled on the lead and lacked guidance but now walks like a champ on his lead, passing old triggers (dogs) without feeling the need to run away or defend himself. He's had a lesson in recall today and was absolutely incredible, and he looooved it! Fantastic to see him running around with a smile on his face, feeling good and behaving beautifully 😍

03/02/2025

Finley - (nearly) 2 yr old Cockerpoo. He's an absolute cracker 😍 Super sweet natured, loving and affectionate. He's smart and eager to learn and please, making his training (so far 😅) straight forward and a pleasure. He's not got a bad bone in his body, just a few unruly ones 🤣 As he's so friendly and social, his manners have let him down when meeting and greeting as he's over excited so tended to jump up, although, he is much improved already... He struggled walking on a short lead as he wasn't getting the direction needed and has questionable recall. We've cracked his lead work already - 1 training session then practice from his owner means pulling has now stopped so we'll get into recall shortly... we've also covered so fundamental pieces of obedience (sit, wait, break, place) to help calm and control him in other areas and situations. Again, absolutely smashing it! Now he's got solid foundations, we've also started teaching him better threshold manners so he understands that an opened door isn't an invitation to leave and play! Really enjoying working with him and looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together ❤️

Prue - 2½ yr old Miniature Schnauzer 😍 She is literally the sweetest natured little dog. She's super loving and affectionate, really playful and social. All her areas for improvement actually stem from her desire to meet and greet people and dogs. She jumps up when greeting, although curbing her habit really nicely after taking her through it 2 weeks ago. As she wants to meet and greet everyone, she can be stubborn when she's on the lead and isn't allowed to interact. And finally, her recall isn't dependable as people and dogs are far too exciting 😅 She's really bright and wants to please, so with a little more time and practice put in around distractions she'll be the perfect role model in no time at all 👍🏼🥰

28/01/2025

Boss - (nearly) 2 yr old Staffy mix. He's a lovely boy and is really well natured with people. He can be a little more temperamental with dogs though, including his older dog brother at home who he's had/has fights with so something we need to get on top of... He loves being out on a walk but needs clearer guidance to help him make better decisions around other dogs so he had, and nailed a loose lead lesson today. He picked it up really quickly and was walking past and around other dogs feeling good and behaving beautifully 👌🏻🤩

28/01/2025

Another class of 'Fundamentals' graduated last night... It's was the smallest group we've done (due to various reasons out of my control) but provided some great classes!
Also realised I hadn't put some of the photos of the dogs from the previous class on so put them in here...
Congratulations to all 😁🙌🏼 Time to put it all into practice in the real world!

27/01/2025

Boulder - 9 yr old Turkish Kangal 🥰 Another breed on my 'one day' list 😅 Absolutely fantastic dog. He's really friendly and affectionate, in fact, a little too much at times so can get a little over excited and jump up. He could do with a little brushing up on his manners in general. He's a big strong dog so when he wants to pull on the lead there's not much stopping him, and he has been known to be dog reactive so we'll be addressing lead work ASAP. He is totally unaware of his size and the fact he's huge so needs to learn a little more spacial awareness to stop him crashing into things (and people..!). We're also going to be teaching all dogs (he's in a home with 4) better practices around the front door being knocked and opened as its currently tough to manage. Looking forward to getting stuck in with this wonderful pack ❤️🐾🐕😁

25/01/2025

Bonnie - (nearly) 1yr old Labrador 😍 She absolutely melts me... It's no secret that the next dog I want is a Labrador bitch, and Bonnie is testament to why! She is incredible. Bidding, attentive and engaged. Eager to learn and please. Super smart, switched on and affectionate, literally everything you could possibly want in a dog! She loves being out on a walk and has amazing recall, although her lead walking let's her down as she's over excited. With that said, we did a loose lead lesson yesterday and she bossed it! Within 5 minutes she understood what was expected of her and was happy to comply 😁 Her owner has big ambitions for her (high level obedience) and I can't wait to see how far we can take her ❤️
