Canny Canines - Training, Behaviour & Enrichment

22/04/2025

As you can probably tell, I'm totally useless at keeping social media updated with all the dogs I'm working with. Mainly because there are too many to keep up with, and there aren't enough hours in a day (anyone know a social media manager!? 🤣)

However, I can't resist sharing the lovely Toby under the cherry blossom at Worden Park 🌸

It was the last session in his package today, refreshing his loose lead walking and recall after having the winter off. Such vital skills for any dog, let alone a big bouncy boy, right in the thick of adolescence 🐾

Toby and his family have done so well, I cant wait to hear how he grows and develops 👏🥳

I've been trying to hold this in for so long, but the cat's finally out of the bag!

I'm so excited for this collaboration, and to be able to help more people than ever in an area that is not only so vitally needed to help dogs feel more comfortable at the vets and bridge gaps between services, but also because its an issue so close to my heart.

There are so many dogs not able to get the help they need or live their best lives because of their behaviour. Freya was one of these dogs and it was heartbreaking to see, especially because her issues were so intertwined with medical issues 💜

We need to do better for our dogs, and hopefully this is a huge step in the right direction.

So, whether you just need a quick visit for some gentle, positive exposure to the vets, help with muzzle training, want to teach your dogs how to tolerate vital health checks and medical procedures, or something more in depth, feel free to reach out directly to myself or Chorley Vets to book in and start your journey 😃🐾

Phoenix had her first glimpse into her future stooge dog duties today... helping Poppy the Bulgarian rescue to not find the world so terrifying. She did me so proud 🥰💜🐾

I came off a New Client Call earlier with someone who's previous 'trainer' had advised them to nip and pull the ear of their 17 month old dog. Thankfully they didn't follow through with his advice, but I'm absolutely horrified.

Unfortunately, advice like this is becoming more commonplace as more and more people think they can make an easy living from becoming 'trainers' after watching TikTok or YouTube videos.

Please don't stand for this type of treatment of your dogs, they deserve better - and so do you 💜🐾

I love it when clients are expecting 👶 and they come to me for help. It's so rewarding knowing all the work we put in months before it's needed really pays off

Congratulations to Ronnie and his family 💜🐾

As a Specialist Scent trainer, I'm a huge advocate for using your dog's best sense to it's full potential! I use scent games in all areas of training and behaviour work.

Scent work is a fun and mentally stimulating activity that taps into your dog's natural instincts. It’s a great way to keep your dog entertained, engaged, and mentally sharp while strengthening the bond between you. You don’t need to be a professional trainer or have a lot of fancy equipment to get started with scent work at home. Here are some simple games you can play with your dog to introduce them to the world of scent work: https://www.cannycaninesuk.com/post/7-simple-scent-games

Is it *really* possible to teach an old dog new tricks?

✅️ Absolutely!

Meet 14 year old Jack Russel X, Maisie.

I went to assess her and her 10 year old housemate today and we've implemented Boundary Games as part of their plan. We did 10 mins of practice, and look at the result - lying on the bed she's barely ever looked at!

Doesn't she look cosy 🥰🥰🥰
