Puppies that stay with me are treated like my own and we do a lot of socialisation and excursions into public and majority of the time when I do this sort of stuff I specifically don’t wear my business logo… my husband’s words are “ You’re a bit passionate and feisty when it comes to people trying to interact with the puppy.” my response is “ yes and that’s the way it’s gonna stay… patting a strangers puppy is not a God-given right so don’t assume it’s okay” 👌 🤣 happy training

“Help! I just want a puppy I can pat, but all they want to do is bite me in the face!”

If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say their puppy won’t sit still and they never get any peace and quiet, I’d be retired by now!

Puppies are a product of their environment. Genetics and breed matter, of course, but if the environment they live in is constantly high energy, they’ll struggle to learn how to switch off.

Meeting your puppy’s needs is essential, including structured play, adequate sleep and teaching them how to settle.

But just as importantly, you need to teach your puppy that your relationship isn’t all about rough play, biting and excitement.

There’s a time for play, and there’s a time for calm, gentle affection.

Start teaching this from the moment your puppy comes home. The expectations you establish when they’re young help shape the behaviours you’ll see as they grow into adulthood.

Because sometimes, the best thing you can teach your puppy is that spending time with you doesn’t always mean it’s time to go absolutely feral!

Happy Training ✌🏼

If your dog won’t play with you, it might be because of the way you’re trying to play with them.

You might be boring them, or you might not be moving the toy in a way that triggers their natural predatory instincts.

Remember, your dog is a predator. They’re designed to chase, catch and engage with moving prey.

So, build them up!

Let them chase. Let them catch. Then, most importantly, let them have a fight with the toy.

And yes, it’s absolutely okay to let your dog win.

If you’re constantly pulling the toy away, never letting them catch it, or making the game all about you controlling the outcome, you might be taking all the fun out of it.
Make yourself worth playing with. Learn how your dog wants to play, tap into their natural instincts, and make the game rewarding for them. Happy Training!!

Lure training is an incredibly effective way to teach dogs new skills, and the majority of foundational behaviours can be taught using this technique.

Common mistakes include using the wrong food, holding it incorrectly, or delivering it too early.

How you hold the food matters. Keep your hand flat with the food in the middle of your palm. This allows your dog to drive into your hand and follow the lure while keeping your fingers safe.

Food is often the missing piece of the puzzle. Kibble can be great for puppies, but chewing between repetitions can interrupt your training flow. Chicken and cheese can crumble, leaving your dog distracted by crumbs.

For me, air-dried food has been the solution. I’ve tried plenty of products, but Eureka stands out because it doesn’t crumble, produces no dust at the bottom of the bag, and breaks easily into smaller pieces for smaller breeds. It’s made with natural ingredients, including protein and vegetables, and can be used as a training reward, food topper or as part of your dog’s complete diet, depending on the product.

Getting the right food and technique in place can make a huge difference to your training sessions.

Desensitising your puppy or dog and setting clear expectations starts from the day you bring them home.

Getting your dog familiar with the training tools they will use when leaving the house is an important part of their early training. We want these tools to become a normal, everyday part of life, rather than something that triggers an immediate burst of excitement.

However, familiarity doesn’t mean excitement. We want to avoid creating a pattern where the appearance of a training tool causes your dog to become over-aroused before you’ve even left the house.

Why? Because that heightened state of arousal doesn’t simply disappear when you step outside. It can affect your dog’s ability to think, process information and respond to training in different environments.

Our goal is to build calm, neutral associations from the beginning, so your dog can approach these tools without becoming overstimulated and is better prepared to engage with you when you’re out in the world. Happy Training ✌🏼

RAW & UNCUT 12 MIN VIDEO
Full-length, unedited raw training footage of how I taught Echo the foundations of flipping a treat off a spatula.

Now, let’s get one thing straight. This doesn’t mean the behaviour is trained. It means we’ve started building the foundations.

The point of this video is to show you the thought process I go through when shaping a behaviour, how I break things down into achievable steps, and how I give my dog the opportunity to work things out for themselves.

You’ll probably be surprised at just how smart your own dog is once you learn how to tap into their problem-solving skills.

One of the biggest mistakes we make in dog training is helping too much, too soon. Sometimes, we also talk too much, constantly giving our dogs information when what they really need is a moment to think.

Give your dog the opportunity to experiment, make decisions and work things out. You might be surprised by what they can achieve when you stop doing all the thinking for them.

Your dog is capable of far more than you realise. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is give them the space to figure it out.
