🎥 Meet beautiful Ruby 💛🐾

Ruby is an absolutely delightful little girl who is finding life just a little difficult to navigate at the moment.

And this clip is SUCH an amazing example of how quickly a dog’s emotions can change with the right support 👀

When Ruby first meets Diego, you can see she is completely conflicted…

Does she want to engage?
Or is she worried about him?

One moment she is pulling to get towards him… then suddenly she panics, hits the deck and writhes around with nervous energy as Diego approaches her.

Now THIS is the fascinating part…

Diego instantly recognises that Ruby is feeling intimidated by him BUT that she also desperately wants to interact.

So what does he do?

He gently moves towards her, carefully giving Ruby the opportunity to engage with him… but when she becomes overwhelmed and silly again, he recognises she simply isn’t emotionally ready yet.

And this is why understanding emotion matters SO much in dog training 💛

Fast forward less than an hour after playing our de-stressing and Re-focusing games and Ruby is a COMPLETELY different dog!

✨ She stays on all 4 paws
✨ She becomes calmer
✨ She grows in confidence
✨ She even bravely goes in for a sniff of Diego!

And then… she simply walks with him as if she has known him forever 🥹

THIS is the power of game based and choice led training.

When dogs feel safe…
When dogs feel calm…
When dogs are given CHOICE rather than pressure…

Their whole emotional state can change.

And when emotions change… behaviour changes too 💛

If you have been struggling with your dog’s confidence, reactivity or social skills and feel like previous training hasn’t truly changed how your dog FEELS… maybe it’s time to try something different.

Hello! As you probably noticed on Saturday the grass is long again. If you would all be fab and and ask for the grass to be cut here: The link is: https://www.castlepoint.gov.uk/grass-cutting-form and the name of the field is Creekside Playing Fields - off Watlington Road, near the Waterworks opposite Richmond Park. We did really well last time so please complain and fingers crossed we will enjoy a cut field next Saturday! Have a great day everyone!!

From wriggly little puppies with zero attention spans… to confident pups learning real life skills. What an amazing 6 weeks it has been 🐾✨

This week we said a huge well done to the latest graduates of our Puppy Training Course, and honestly, we could not be prouder of how far they’ve all come 💛

A massive congratulations to:
🐾 Team Arthur
🐾 Team Kyro

Over the past six weeks we’ve watched these pups grow in confidence, their owners grow in understanding, and those all-important relationships become stronger and stronger each week.

Training a puppy isn’t always easy — there are zoomies, distractions, selective hearing and the occasional chaos 🤣 — but every single team showed up, put the work in and made such lovely progress.
Seeing puppies begin to make good choices, focus better, and navigate the world with more confidence is exactly why we love what we do 🐶

This is only the start of their journey, but they are already heading in such a brilliant direction and we cannot wait to watch them continue to flourish.

Thank you for letting us be part of these early stages and for giving your pups the best foundations possible 🐾💛

Well done graduates — Naughty Dog School is so proud of you ✨

🎥 MAKE… or MOTIVATE? 🤔🐾

It’s a question we see play out every single day in dog training…

Do we make our dogs do something…
Or do we motivate them to want to do it?

In this clip, you’ll see our lovely Ernie and his mum Danielle playing a simple game of hand targets — low, middle, high 🙌

And just look at him…
He’s engaged ✔️
He’s trying ✔️
He’s LOVING it ✔️

Now here’s the important bit…

Many of us have been taught that if a dog doesn’t respond, we need to insist.
To firm up.
To make it happen.

But here’s what actually happens when we do that:

❌ We create resistance
❌ We remove the joy
❌ We push the dog away from the task

Because dogs, just like us, don’t enjoy being made to do things.

In fact… they’ll often avoid it altogether.

🌟 So what do we do instead?

At Naughty Dog School, we flip it on its head.

We don’t make dogs comply…
✨ We make them WANT to ✨

By turning training into games dogs LOVE, we tap into their natural curiosity and playfulness — and suddenly…

✔️ They engage willingly
✔️ They offer behaviours
✔️ They stay open to learning

No force. No battles. Just smart training.

And this is exactly what Danielle did here 👏

She recognised that in that moment, Ernie didn’t need pressure…
He needed a game.

And look at the result 💛

At Naughty Dog School, we don’t train through control —
We train through understanding.

If your dog is “not listening”, struggling, or switching off…
It might not be disobedience.

👉 It might just be the way they’re being asked.

💬 Drop us a message if you’d like to see how we can help turn your dog’s training into something they truly enjoy.

✨ A very special welcome to Chloe! ✨

We are SO excited to introduce the newest member of the Naughty Dog School team… Chloe! 💛🐾

Chloe is joining us as a Trainee Instructor, and we couldn’t be happier to have her on board. She brings a calm energy, a willingness to learn, and a real passion for understanding dogs — exactly what we look for at NDS 🙌

And of course… her journey starts the real Naughty Dog School way 😏

➡️ With Diego.

As many of you know, Diego isn’t just our emotional radar and support dog…
He’s also the one who puts our new instructors through their paces 👀

He doesn’t miss a thing.
He reads energy, intention, and authenticity in a heartbeat…
Which means there’s no hiding — only learning.

And that’s exactly why we start here.

Because at Naughty Dog School, it’s not about rehearsed techniques…
It’s about understanding what the dog in front of you is feeling and responding in the right way.

We’re so excited to watch Chloe grow, learn, and develop her skills with us — and we know Diego will make sure she earns every step of the way 💪🐶

Please join us in giving Chloe a huge, warm NDS welcome! 👇💬
