Our ethos is balanced training shaped by positive reinforcement.

We work in Coventry/Nuneaton and all methods, including your dog’s collar or harness, are always discussed and agreed together.

I wasn't going to post this based on my reaction 😄 I was expecting a few confused head tilts… instead, I got the full special forces response..

I always say, put the hard months in now and have the easy years later..

I'm not here to preach, but I do want to share something that genuinely changed the way I train my dogs.

If we stop treating dog walks as just dog walks and start treating them as training sessions, or at the very least hybrid training sessions, you'll start to see the results you're looking for, subject to the training advice you've been given.

I set myself challenges. Instead of doing whatever it is I might have in mind, if it's not important, I'll opt to train the dogs instead. That mindset is what got me the trained dogs I always wanted. Dogs I can take anywhere.

I got dogs so I could incorporate their lives into ours. They're truly part of the family.

I know life gets busy and stressful, and often our dogs can add to that stress. But I can assure you, if you start treating everything as a training opportunity, things will change for the better. If you already do you'll know exactly what i mean..

The way we train is fun, engaging and packed full of dopamine, with a bit of sniffing in between (under their release cue). More often than not, they're not even interested in sniffing. The bond we've built and the enjoyment they get from training surpasses the appeal of sniffing every blade of grass.

Three or four days a week, they have their big run-outs where they can run, sniff, explore and just enjoy being dogs. We still work on recalls and emergency downs along the way, keeping them fit, fulfilled and giving them a different kind of outlet.

In short, everything I do is training in one way or another, and the dogs, the family and I reap the rewards of those efforts.

We say goodbye to another adventure where their behaviour has been impeccable, and the dogs and kids await the next one together ❤️

4 straight days of this 👀🤣

Athena is in the dog house 😭

The kids' mum said, "Aust, come and help me with Athena. She's got something black stuck in her teeth, I don't know what it is. It's on the underside of her teeth. Maybe it's tartar build-up."

As she investigates further, my response was, "Yeah, absolutely not... I've just chased her off eating sheep sh*t!" 🤮

Amie was nearly sick whilst me and the children laughed hysterically 😄

Athena can be in a field surrounded by sheep, cows and horses with absolutely perfect behaviour. But apparently, when it comes to eating their sh*t, all standards go out the window 💀

She simply will not take no for an answer!

She's on a couple of days' affection time-out. I don't need to be catching any stray licks from the poo-eating machine, thank you very much.

She might not understand... but I do 🥲

Oops..

The down stay from the dogs was alright too 😄

I know I’m biased, but Rottweilers are one hell of a dog 😍🔥

Here's an example of why we need to proof behaviours in as many settings as possible 💀

Just yesterday, I did a post about impulse control with Nero in front of Enzo playing with his ball, where he was perfect. Later that evening, I found myself in a bit of a predicament… I had to block Nero mid-air from jumping into the hot tub! 😅

Good job I'm well versed with Mali's and their daft behaviours. I'm subconsciously paying attention to every step and every change in breathing. I don't even need to see them to recognise a spike in excitement.

As soon as the kids started splashing and laughing, he wanted to be involved. All our dogs adore the children, but none more than Baby Nero ❤️

In the end, we compromised by putting a towel down for him to stand and watch 💅

A huge thank you to Pillar Box Farm Cottages. Usually, I have to lie about how many dogs we have on these trips, but this place has been by far the most welcoming we've ever stayed at.

We give you our word that Nero won't make it successfully into the hot tub 😬

You can teach all the obedience in the world, but if a dog can't think before reacting, regulate their arousal and resist temptation, it all falls apart when it matters most.

We had an amazing session this week with Cash, Enzo and Nero 👏

Unconditional, by definition.

I mean.. I could have gone back and got him, but you don't have a dog and bark yourself.. 💃

Especially when his release cue is as good as recall.
