Heading down to go and watch Shania Twain tonight in London and coincidentally Southend Dog Training and Vet on the hill happened to be doing a meet and greet nearby.

I understand not everyone's cup of tea or ideal style of dog training however I think the no bullsh*t approach to dog training (and by that I mean owner training) is what a lot of people need.

Very proud of my little ivy who got 1st place this weekend in her division at the UK Flyball championships 🏆🐾

I often get asked when can I stop feeding treats to my dog (that's being trained) or people saying I don't want to rely on giving treats.
There is more to it than just giving a treat for that 1 second of good behaviour....

A Dog Trainer/Behaviourist view on a situation.....

Whilst walk my 2 dogs on the beach this morning I came across a lady and her dog who I probably came across a bit rude with.
My 2 were playing ball and minding their own business when a dog wondered over but then once within 10m started barking - not in an agressive way, more in a who are you and what are you doing, can I join in kinda way.

My 2 have the ball and in this situation my thought is that there is about a 60% chance one of mine will tell the dog to back off - because the ball is involved. So I told mine to leave the ball and we walked away from the situation - leaving the ball. Which later on a sent them to get once the dog had moved away.

The lady seemed a bit offended and with the typical comment of 'she only wants to play'. In my head my response 'that's nice. Good for her'

Another reason of my action of moving out of the situation is that one of my dogs is quite impressionable. She will copy and respond based on what other dog is doing and therefore I limit the opportunities where she can pick up on this behaviour. For example in this situation I don't want her thinking she can start barking back at a new dog.

As a dog trainer on a walk I definitely find myself thinking of the 'what if' and preventing any potential issues which may or may not be a concern - sometimes to the annoyance of those walking with me.

The moral of this post is if someone walks away from a situation with their dog or they don't say morning to you because they are focusing on the dog and training please don't be offended. They are likely doing this for their own dogs and their benefit and not because they think your dog is unruley.🐾
