Crates are only cruel if you make them cruel… this muppet won’t get out of his.

Corrections aren’t cruel, people who misuse corrections are cruel. 🫡

I’m gonna keep it SO real !

My dog begs for food.
He jumps up me.
He jumps on the sofas.
Eats from my plate.

WHY?

Because he LISTENS! If you aren’t 100% happy with your dogs behaviour you probably shouldn’t let your dog do these things 🤦🏼

BUT to put it plainly if your dog listens first time, has 100% recall and doesn’t react to everything that moves, then why not !

One of the biggest misconceptions about dog training is that it’s all about changing the dog.

In reality, the biggest breakthroughs often happen when owners learn how to communicate more clearly, set better boundaries, and become more consistent in what they expect.

Training isn’t something that’s done to a dog. It’s a skill that owner and dog build together.

The good news? When you change how you handle situations, your dog’s behaviour often changes with you.

If you’re ready to build a better relationship with your dog and create lasting results, send me a message 📩🐕

Worst case of lead pulling I’ve had in a while 😖

Mike (Tyson) is a over excited and HUGE staffy. Mike has caused multiple injuries to his owners, pulling them over.

He just wasn’t safe to walk any more 😩

Add structure and rules and you get a semi normal dog!

This is the start of mikes journey and he has lost more progress to make.

If you want to get involved comment ‘MIKE’ for the full break down of the programme 🤩

Dog training is a business of trust !

You have to put your complete trust in a stranger that their ‘method’ will work 😩

That’s why I cut out that step… if I can’t fix your dog I will give you every penny back NO questions !

Being “good with kids” means more than simply tolerating them 🐕👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

A well balanced family dog should be calm, confident, and able to relax around children. Just as importantly, children should understand boundaries and learn how to interact with dogs respectfully.

The best relationships aren’t built on tolerance. They’re built on mutual respect and good guidance from the adults involved.

If you’d like help building a calmer, more confident family dog, send me a message 📩

If you ever find yourself in this situation, don’t ever put your hands near or in the dogs mouth !

Create a loop in the leash and pull directly up until the dog looses breath and lets go.
Then urgently see a veterinarian 🫡

Client assessment, covering how to use the YES and the NO command at the right time 🕰️

Hot weather can turn dangerous for dogs much faster than people realise. A quick walk that feels “not too bad” to us can become an emergency for them.

Dogs don’t sweat like humans do. They mainly cool themselves by panting, and when temperatures rise (especially with humidity, little shade, hot pavements, or no breeze), they can overheat very quickly.

Signs your dog may be struggling with the heat:
🐾 Excessive panting that doesn’t settle
🐾 Thick or excessive drool
🐾 Bright red, dark, or pale gums
🐾 Slowing down, refusing to walk, or lying down suddenly
🐾 Weakness, wobbling, or acting disoriented
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🐾 Rapid heartbeat
🐾 Glazed eyes or unusual behaviour
🐾 Collapse or loss of consciousness (this is an emergency)

And don’t forget: the ground can burn too. If the pavement is too hot for the back of your hand for 5 seconds, it’s too hot for paws.

💧 Walk early morning or later in the evening, stick to shaded areas, carry water, keep walks shorter, and choose enrichment at home if it’s simply too hot.

Some dogs are at even higher risk, including flat-faced breeds, puppies, senior dogs, overweight dogs, dogs with thick coats, and dogs with medical conditions.

Heatstroke in dogs is serious and can become life-threatening fast. If your dog shows severe symptoms, move them somewhere cool, offer small amounts of water, use cool (not ice-cold) water on the body, and contact a vet immediately.

Your dog doesn’t know when to say “I’m too hot.” They trust us to make that decision for them. Missing one walk is always better than risking their safety. 🐕❤️
