Everyone has an opinion about e-collars.

Very few have lived this story.

George had already been through multiple homes. His owner had spent hundreds of pounds, worked with several trainers and been told the same thing over and over:

“He’ll never have reliable recall.”

For a breed driven by instinct, that sentence meant a lifetime on a lead.

Then they tried a different approach.

Not shortcuts.
Not punishment.
Not magic.

A training plan built around understanding the dog in front of them, using play to build engagement and introducing an e-collar correctly, fairly and responsibly.

Today, George walks off lead, checks in naturally and enjoys the freedom every dog deserves when it’s safe to do so.

This isn’t about forcing obedience.

It’s about giving a dog and their owner their life back.

The loudest opinions usually come from people who’ve never seen it done properly.

The people who have? Their dogs often tell the story better than they ever could.

What are your thoughts on e-collars? Have you seen responsible training change a dog’s life?

A quick update on our own brand raw food.

From Friday 7th August, there will be a small price increase across our own brand range.

We’ve held our prices for as long as possible, but with the continued rise in ingredient and production costs, it’s now time for a small adjustment.

What hasn’t changed is our commitment to quality.

🐾 British made
🐾 British sourced ingredients
🐾 Recycled plastic tubs
🐾 High quality recipes we’re proud to feed our own dogs

We’ve also improved our bundle deals, so you’ll save even more when buying 8 or 12 tubs.

We believe in producing the best raw food we can, not the cheapest, and that won’t change.

You’ve seen the headlines.

“Cruel.”
“Painful.”
“Should be banned.”

The truth is, headlines are designed to grab your attention, not teach you about dog training.

Can prong collars be misused? Absolutely. So can slip leads, halti’s, flat collars and harnesses. Any training tool in the wrong hands has the potential to cause harm.

What matters is the knowledge, skill and intent of the person using it, and most importantly, the welfare and behaviour of the dog in front of them.

This video isn’t asking you to ignore welfare concerns. It’s asking you to look beyond sensational headlines and observe the dog.

Dogs don’t lie.

Their body language, behaviour and emotional state tell us far more than any headline ever could.

Before forming an opinion, ask questions. Seek education. Watch experienced trainers work. Judge what you see, not just what you’ve read.

What are your thoughts?

A release command should mean something.

I don’t use “stay” or “wait”. If I ask a dog to sit, lie down, hold place or complete an exercise, they remain there until they hear their release word.

For us, that word is OKAY.

OKAY means the work is finished, you are free to move and playtime is coming. When the word has been conditioned properly, you should see an immediate change in the dog. Their eyes light up, their energy changes and they anticipate the reward that follows.

It creates clarity:

Command given.
Hold the position.
Wait for the release.
OKAY means move.

No repeated “stay”. No hand held in the air. No confusion about when the exercise has ended.

Watch Hunter’s expression when Lisa gives the release command. That response is exactly what we are looking for.

Clear communication creates reliable behaviour.

A dog cannot be “fixed” in three weeks and handed back with no support.

Dog training is about creating habits, building trust and developing a relationship. Three weeks is not long enough to create reliable, lasting habits, especially when the first seven to ten days should be spent helping the dog settle, building rapport and getting to know them properly.

I’ve recently met two dogs whose owners had already paid for three week board and train programmes. Both were left struggling again once their dog returned home.

When the training starts to fall apart, the owner is often left having to pay twice. First for the board and train, then again for another trainer to rebuild the work, involve the owner and help make the training sustainable in everyday life.

That doesn’t mean every board and train programme is bad. But before leaving your dog anywhere, ask the right questions:

How long is the program?
How much time will be spent building a relationship with my dog?
Will I be involved before they come home?
Will I be shown how to continue the training?
What follow-up support is provided?

A good programme should not simply train your dog in a different environment and then cut you loose. The learning has to transfer back into your real life, with you.

Choose your trainer carefully.
A “quick fix” can often become a very expensive lesson

A genuine thank you to everyone who has been in touch about training and is willing to wait until September to be seen.

I never take that trust for granted.

When someone chooses to put their dog in my hands, I know how much that means. Dogs are part of the family, and every one of them deserves the time, attention and patience needed to make real progress.

I do not rush dogs through programmes just to make space for the next one. Every dog is different, every case is different, and the work takes as long as it takes.

Unfortunately, that sometimes means there is a waiting list, but I am incredibly grateful to everyone who understands why and is prepared to wait.

Thank you for your patience, your trust and your support.

And thank you to Reg for sitting still long enough to let me say it. He was far more interested in getting some attention from his dad.

The best person to tell you what Lancashire Dog Training is like isn’t me.

It’s the people who’ve been through the process.

During this interview one point really stood out to me.

So many people put the work in when their dog is young, then life gets busy. Training becomes less consistent, boundaries start to slip and before long, they’re living around their dog’s behaviour instead of enjoying life with them.

It’s incredibly common but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Whether your dog is six months old or six years old, it’s never too late to build a better relationship based on clear communication, trust and understanding.

If you’ve been putting off asking for help because you’re worried about being judged, don’t.

Every owner starts somewhere, and reaching out could be the decision that changes both your life and your dog’s for the better.

One of the most common problems owners contact me about is a dog that pulls on the lead.

Before a dog ever learns to walk nicely, they first need to understand exactly where they’re expected to be and that the position isn’t negotiable until they’re released.

In this demonstration, you’ll see how we build that behaviour from the ground up using the CHOP system and negative reinforcement (some pressure on the lead).

No bribing.
No luring.
No endless repetition.

Just clear communication, consistent guidance and a dog that learns how to switch pressure off by making the correct choice.

Once the foundation is in place, moving forward becomes easy because the dog already understands the job.

As always, training isn’t about making a dog robotic. It’s about creating clarity so your dog can confidently understand what’s expected of them.
