I’m putting uncut video of clipping Hugo’s nails. You’ll see how I respond when he doesn’t want something to happen but all in all in 3 minutes (including me talking and showing you the process) we got one paw done.
If you need some advice in this subject you can send me a video of how it looks with your dog and I’ll give you free advice on how to easy up the process.

Having a dog that reacts to so many stimuli can be a really exhausting for both the dog and the owners. The feeling of shame, stress, frustration* - it’s all in there (*been there, done that).
I believe training is much more than teaching ways of dealing with situations, changing behaviour and management.
My aim is for the people to have better and easier life with their dogs. It does require a lot of work and effort but it can be also rewarding and fulfilling in so many other ways.
And here’s Teddy after 40 minutes of very intense and difficult session, well deserved break ☺️

Obedience vs freedom
When I met these two I saw both girls a little lost, tired and frustrated. After just few sessions I see a confident woman with a dog that is calmer and getting more and more from life.
But they get out from car and walk in heel. So is it possible to be a happy dog while being forced to walk in the dreaded position of heel?
Jokes aside I do like to USE obedience skills.
I’m not a great fan of teaching them, let’s be honest - there are more exciting things in life. But when I see the effects of this boring training then I must say - it’s exciting! 😁
I do use heel when I want a dog to calm down, when we practice loose leash, when we walk a busy street. It’s really useful.
Some dogs aren’t ready to ignore other dogs or people and it helps them to understand what I want. And I want you here - in this exact position. Dogs do understand it. Because it has structure, it’s not an abstract concept.
I personally often go into the abstract concepts while training my dogs because I want to check where are we at the moment or how would they respond if I’m vague.
But if I don’t want to experiment I ask them to heel and it takes loads of my mind. I’ve given them clear instruction and both me and them need to follow them.
On the other hand, I just got back from a walk where I didn’t use leash at all. We just spend and hour walking. I didn’t ask them for anything, I didn’t recall them, we just went for a walk and then back to the car. And me being a trainer - I try to have these walks daily.

Here we work on dropping interest and not reacting.
When we moved to UK Otis was overwhelmed with the amount of dogs, was pulling and barking more than usual.
This is how we work on some of leash issues.

Directions is the part of handling a retriever.
Any why do we need handling? Sometimes things can go wrong and we need to help the dog to find a dummy and sometimes we send them into the unknown abyss and they need our help in directing them towards the dummy.
We use left and right, behind and coming back.

This is how with careful management, handling a leash and communicating with dog you can change their attitude towards unfamiliar dogs.
These things happen on my socialization walks so join us on Sunday 😎

Let’s roll! It’s really difficult to show all the elements of a retriever training so let me know what you think! Today we go with a marking. As the name says it’s the ability of a dog to mark where the item (dummy or a bird) has fallen.
Straight line and quick retrieve. That’s what we’re going for 🙂

And this is a good use of „no” 😉
