🐾 FIREWORKS CONFIDENCE PROJECT – FREE DOG TRAINING! 🐾

After seeing just how many dogs have struggled with fireworks this year, we want to do something about it.

At Cotswold Dog Training, we believe our dogs’ happiness and wellbeing should always come before profit. That’s why we’re putting together a completely FREE training programme to help as many dogs as possible.

❤️ Our aim is simple: happier, more confident dogs next fireworks season.

Starting 23rd November, we’ll be bringing dog owners together in a dedicated WhatsApp group and working through a structured programme over the coming months.

We’ll introduce sounds and other potential triggers gradually, use positive reward-based training, and build confidence at each dog’s own pace.

There’ll be:
🐾 Weekly training exercises and guidance
🐾 Practical advice and support
🐾 Progress tracking so we can see how far our dogs come
🐾 A friendly community where owners can share experiences and help each other

No fees. No pressure. No judgement. Just a genuine desire to help dogs.

Whether your dog hides, shakes, barks, panics or simply becomes unsettled when fireworks start, we’d love to help.

If you’d like to be involved, send us a message and we’ll get you the joining details.

Let’s start working towards a better fireworks season for our dogs. ❤️

Worth a share all! I know we always post these, but if it stops one dog from getting ill or worse it’s worth it… I’m still seeing people out jogging with dogs mid day in this weather 🤦🏼‍♂️, keep them safe during this heat wave. Your dog won’t die if they miss a walk…

Over the weekend and all this week we have been cancelling classes and some private lessons. This is because we will always put dogs first no matter the financial loss to us.

We are currently working with this gentle giant. He is 12 months old, meaning he is still very excitable and learning how to manage his emotions around distractions.

Due to his size, both dogs and owners can sometimes find him intimidating on walks, even though his intention is simply to play and interact.

This behaviour has likely developed from early experiences where most dog interactions were encouraged only off-lead, which can unintentionally build high excitement and frustration when seeing other dogs on-lead.

We are now working on building calmness, improving focus on his handler, and teaching him how to remain neutral around other dogs while out on walks.

The goal is not to take the fun away from him, but to give him the structure and control needed so walks become enjoyable, relaxed, and safe for both him and his owner.

Deaf Puppy Training… 🐾🤍

This little girl came to Cotswold Dog Training this week at just 12 weeks old.

The only difference? She’s completely deaf.

Her owner was understandably worried… but the truth is, training a deaf puppy isn’t harder — it’s just different. Dogs naturally read body language far quicker than verbal commands anyway.

In her very first lesson she learned:

✔ Recall
✔ Sit
✔ Down
✔ Stay
✔ Started toilet training on cue

All using clear hand signals and positive reinforcement.

Training is important for every puppy — but it’s especially important for deaf dogs. Without early structure and communication, confusion can turn into stress, anxiety and even reactivity.

We’re so proud to be part of her journey and to give her the best possible start in life.

Deaf doesn’t mean limited. It just means we communicate differently. 🤍
