Mid Devon Dog Training

Just putting this here in case it is useful to anyone. Please feel free to share.

I’ve been quietly working away for a while and it’s finally ready.

If you would like a a more reliable recall with your dog, I’ve created an online course that you can do at your own pace from home by following step by step videos.

If you are curious, you can find a link to the course details in the comments below.

Knighthayes, in Tiverton, is another lovely local place that I get to visit and work. Plenty of friendly sheep to practice some safe exposure and lots of space to play and learn alongside other dog walkers and families.

The intelligence of a collie! I love this little video of Murphy on his training walk. Not only has he used the flow of the river to create his how game, but he also keeps trotting back up the river to reset the game — in front of me. Murphy could easily carry on playing the game working his way down the river, but he chooses to play close to me. I am only an observer in this game, but still his playmate watching and enjoying antics.

I may not work for our local tourist board but I am happy to showcase some of the lovely local places I get to visit.
I do so enjoy my weekly training walk visits to Bampton. It is such a picturesque place, full of friendly and welcoming folk and interesting local history — an example of which you can see in the last photo, with the tale of the poor clerk’s son who was killed by an icicle!

Hi everyone — it’s been a while!
I’ve updated my website recently with my current training services, more information of how I work with both dogs and their humans and how to book.
If you’re interested or might like some support with your dog, the link is in the comments 💜👇

Hi Everyone,

Sara kindly let me share this on her page. My sweet rescue dog Alfie has been working with her for the last few years and has come a long way 🤍

Unfortunately, he has just been diagnosed with a rare and serious condition called Idiopathic Chylothorax. This is where the fatty lymph fluid (chyle) leaks from the thoracic duct into the chest cavity without a known, underlying cause.

This fluid buildup compresses the lungs, causing severe breathing difficulties and is fatal if left untreated. The only treatment that is able to cure it is a specialist surgery.

Please, if anyone would be so kind to help him by sharing or donating a few pounds (or just £1) to our GoFundMe page it would mean everything to me.

Thank you so much 🤍

Bobby and I took a trip to Haddon Hill for our training walk today. The first time I took Bobby out on a long line in the summer, he was not in the slightest bit interested in connecting with me as he was far more interested in everything else around him. Today it was lovely to see him both enjoying the environment and enjoying my company also!!!

Relationship building for training takes time and patience. The results always shine through in the end though. I love working with this special boy 💜

I’ve been stepping back from work slightly. So, updates and top tip videos will be posted when I am able.

In the meantime, here are some photos of our gorgeous boy sharing a healing evening walk with me in the beautiful Devon countryside. We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep 💜

There is nothing like two polar opposite dogs to keep you both comforted and entertained in the run up to bedtime 😂💜

* for the body language experts out there — yes, I know that Ted doesn’t like the phone pointed directed at him but he can cope and enjoyed cuddles after*
