We take our proofing seriously 😂

Dogs pick up more than just the verbal and visual cues we give them.

We practiced giving the dogs cues from different, unique positions to see how they reacted.

Give it a try and see just what you dog is actually 'reading' when you ask them to do something

Nova and I went on an adventure. Granted, it was only a train journey from Bradford-on-Avon to Bath to collect my car from the mot garage, but I'm claiming it! 😂

One of the most common question we get coming into the summer is "how can I help my dog around hot air balloons?" and the answer is always too complex to answer with a few trouble shooting tips. So, we made a course to go through everything.

Why dog trainers just like you, love these CPD courses.

If you’ve ever wished you could really sharpen your practical dog training skills, or you're new to training and want heaps of hands on skills, with real dogs, real handlers, and real support,you’re not alone.

Here's what the current trainers attending The Whole Hound Academy Trainer Training are saying:

“This is a great course with lots of practical knowledge from Adam. The chance to practise your handson skills in a reallife environment, with support is invaluable. You learn how to adapt your teaching to each individual dog and handler, all while being part of a group of likeminded
people cheering each other on.”

What we’re building at The Whole Hound Academy is simple: A place where new or developing dog trainers grow faster, feel supported, and develop the confidence to work at a truly professional level.

Probably the most important post I've ever done

When people sign up to the trainer training course, they get me on tap. I know, lucky, right?! 😂

One question recently was various ways of teaching the indication for scentwork. It was easier to video a quick exercise than to explain it, so here it is.

If you're thinking of getting more hands-on experience with dogs, the trainer training course might be for you!
Also, before you all get your knickers in a knot, this is just one way of teaching it, if it'll conflict with what you're already doing, don't use it 😁

Rain or shine, our trainer course still runs.

Theory is important, but there's no substitute for hands-on, practical experience with multiple dogs/breeds and multiple ways to teach exercises.
