Cute at 12 weeks.

Not so cute at 12 months.

The pulling.

The jumping up.

The ignoring you when something more exciting appears.

The good news?

You're catching it early.

Our next Perfect Puppy Programme starts Sunday.

For puppies under 5 months old at the start of the course.

If your dog had a job, what do you think it would be? 👀😂

Akela would definitely work security protecting something very high value.
You are not getting in, and you are definitely not touching it.

Boyd would be a hostage negotiator.
Somehow manages to calm the entire situation down just by turning up.

Duke would work in investigations or forensics.
Notices every tiny detail and immediately spots when something’s changed.

Gunner would be the eternal apprentice.
Always managing to break something, with absolutely no idea how he’s done it.

What job would your dog have?

🎓 Six puppies. Five weeks. Amazing progress.

A huge congratulations to Ozzy, Remi, Scooby, Karma, Bobby and Milo on graduating from today's Perfect Puppy Programme.

More confidence, better focus, better manners, and owners who now have the tools to continue raising confident, well-behaved dogs.

This is exactly what our puppy groups are all about.

🐾 New puppy group starts Sunday. Give your puppy the best possible start.

Today is Boyd’s 10th birthday 🎉

Well… it’s around this time anyway 😅
Being a rescue, we never actually knew his real birthday.

Before I got Boyd, he’d already had multiple homes and a very uncertain start in life. He was terrified of fast movements, flinched if you moved too quickly near him and had absolutely no connection to people whatsoever.

Eye contact meant “avoid at all costs”. Being touched was a no go for him. Most of the time, he just wanted to be left alone.

Now he’s the complete opposite 😂
He just wants to be wherever you are. If you move rooms, Boyd moves rooms. If you sit down, Boyd’s next to you. Bedtime? He’s already there before I am.

Now eye contact is his way of asking for affection, fuss and interaction. He’s gone from a dog that completely shut people out to one of the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever met.

People are always surprised when I say Boyd is the most challenging dog I’ve ever had. But he’s also the most rewarding.

Watching a dog learn not just to trust people, but actively want love and connection from them, is something really special.

He’s my shadow, my best friend and honestly just the bestest boy 💙💙

Unpopular opinion:

A lot of dogs labelled “reactive” were actually created by letting them greet every dog they see as puppies.

Dragged over to dogs.
Allowed to pull towards everything.
Over-excitement mistaken for “socialisation”.

Then people are shocked when the same dog starts lunging, screaming, and completely ignoring the owner around dogs.

A well-socialised dog should be able to stay calm and neutral around other dogs, not act obsessed with every single one.

Should puppies greet every dog they see, yes or no?

Six new puppies joined our Perfect Puppy Program tonight 🐾

An excellent first session all round. Calm, structured training and the venue was lovely and cool.

No overheated puppies, no chaos, just quality training done properly 💚

A lot of “high energy” dogs aren’t actually high energy.

They just can’t switch off.

Constant pacing.
Always looking for the next thing.
Struggling to settle.
Obsessing over movement, dogs, toys or chaos around them.

A lot of owners try fixing it with more exercise and more ball throwing.

Which often just creates dogs that are fitter… not calmer.

This is one of the reasons we use so much scentwork within our training.
