Neil Short obedience training

Neil Short obedience training Fun, effective dog obedience training courses for dog and owner. Monthly and day courses, one to one tuition, or behavioural work in the UK & abroad.

I train monthly obedience day courses Bristol in the UK and have several courses in Europe
throughout the year. These suit a range of people and breeds from beginners and puppies up to those competing at all levels of competition. However you don't have to compete to come along for a fun day out with your dog. If you or your dog are not suited for a group setting, then I also offer one to one l

essons for individuals or small groups. I am happy to discuss setting up new courses, or one off days and weekends either in the UK or abroad. I also have limited availability for behavioural work however this is typically only within the South Wales area. Please call me on 07826 146080 or email for more information or to arrange a place on a course.

This was a lovely course to run for Hamar hundeskole in Norway.
Thank you, as always to Hilde and Ann-Katrin for all your hard work and the atmosphere you create.
I was so impressed by the improvements you had all achieved.Its all starting to look really super.
Believe in yourselves and your dogs. Listen to what they are telling you in each moment, as they have all the answers to all your questions.Use any mistakes as opportunities to learn.They are the experts, all we have to do is to listen to them.
Well done to you all but most importantly we'll done for supporting and helping each other.It was a lovely friendly atmosphere for us all and your dogs to work in 👏🇬🇧❤️

Thank you to Ulrike for inviting me to Munich and for making feel so welcome.
We had lots of different breeds and several beginner handlers which is always lovely to see.
You all came together as one big family, helping and supporting each other.You all learnt so much from each other which created such a lovely atmosphere. 👏
I was so impressed by the changes you produced in such a short space of time and you all did this with kindness, fun and with no negativity 👍
Trust and love your dog in every step you take.What they give us back is too special not to ❤️🐕🇬🇧

Thank you so much to Rune and Christian for inviting me to Copenhagen.You both made feel so welcome.
We had lots of different dog sports to cover which is always great but the philosophy always stays the same.
How to deal with failure with as much energy, passion and fun as we do when our dogs succeed.To see failure as a wonderful opportunity to learn and help our dogs.Our dogs can then learn with complete freedom and most importantly no fear of failure.
You all did this beautifully and the end results were so great to watch and it looked so easy.I said many times on the course that it was like I was watching you in slow motion.It was so quick and yet so smooth and super to watch.The trust this created because you knew your dogs were in your zone was a joy to watch.
Well done ❤️🐕🇬🇧

A big thank you to Ramona for inviting me to Monchengladbach and for looking after me and to Andrea and Anya who worked so hard to provide us with lovely food 👍
This was always going to be a very emotional course for me to run as I had just lost my Mum, but I was surrounded by caring, sensitive and understanding people.Thank you ❤️
You were all very kind to your dogs and very supportive of each other.
Dog training can be the best medicine, if our main criteria is how our dogs feel
When we create a feeling of joy, safety and freedom for our dogs, those end results we so desire just seem to happen.

Thank you all ❤️

A Super course to run in Viborg ,Denmark.
Four days of great fun and super work from lots of different breeds.
I always say that dog training should be like meditation.It should take you away from the stresses in life and take you to a place where you live in the moment with our best friends.To do this we must lose the need to rush to the end result, see failure as our friend that can show us the right path, and make our dogs feel "very special" in the way we talk, the way we move with complete trust in our dogs and in our rewards.
In doing this you all created a lovely freedom, joy and easiness in your work together which was great to watch.👏
Thank you to Miriam and Tine for looking after me and to Louise's friend for the amazing muffins (OMG they were nice )❤️

A super Dog dancing course to run in Calais, France.
It's great to see the creativity, imagination and thought that goes into your routines, especially with so many different breeds.
Always my top criteria when running any course is how our dogs feel.Our training should create a feeling of safeness, happiness , and be stressfree and our dogs should love every second of it.
Becoming an expert at seeing mistakes as something that can help our dogs get better and to loose the fear of failure can be so powerful in creating this feeling.Mistakes are so good at showing us what we have missed in our foundation training, so seeing them as an opportunity to learn and not criticise or blame creates a dog who works with complete freedom and no fear.You all did this beautifully and the end results were great to see 👏
Thank you all for supporting, laughing and giving me so much focus.I loved watching you work your dogs 👏
To Veronique Devender , Elodie and Vincent.....a big thank you for looking after me and for making me feel so welcome ❤️🇬🇧

Thank you to Carina Lach for organising this beautiful course for me to run in Dusselldorf.Your kindness, fun and hard work created a lovely friendly atmosphere for us all to enjoy.
The people on the course were so friendly and welcoming and most importantly kind to their dogs.You all worked so hard, had complete focus,laughed and had fun together and produced some beautiful end results.
When you work together like this you create a dog that works with complete freedom and no fear of failure.
Well done, it was lovely to watch.
The thing learnt most from this weekend was ;
When you see failure as your friend, something to help you learn what we have missed in our training and deal with it with no blame to your dogs....then success is just round the corner.
Having so many different breeds on the course is always great to see.I think you all went home, especially the dogs feeling very proud of yourselves 👍❤️🇬🇧

Thank you to everyone who attended the 4 day course at Hamar Hundeskole in the beautiful Norway.
We had so much fun.
A beautiful part of my work is in seeing the progress teams make and watching their confidence and self belief increase.
I was very impressed with you all.The work those had done at home and what you all achieved on the course was so good.I could see you were all very proud of your dogs.
Solving problems with kindness, positive energy and with no blame to our dogs is a beautiful way to work.
You all focused, learnt from each other ,helped and supported each other and got some great end results.
The two puppy's on the course were amazing.
One Flatcoat at 5 months and one sheltie at 8 weeks.It was a joy to watch you work together.
Achieving the end result, when allowing the journey to build confidence, self esteem, reducing stress and simply loving every second of time spent with our best friends really is the best medicine 👏👏🇬🇧❤️

A Massive " congratulations" to Sonia Grande Moreno and the lovely Hook for achieving your dream together and getting to class 3 ❤️👏
You started your journey with no confidence or self belief and Hook was very anxious, noisy and worried about everything.
Carlos and I have watch you both grow in confidence, self belief and you now have built a beautiful trust in other.
Hook now works with such freedom and I know you are really enjoying working together.You have achieved this with patience, talent and most importantly kindness.
It's not the end result that's important but how the journey towards that end result helps our dogs become happier, healthier and stress free.
You and Hook are the perfect example of this.
I couldn't be more proud of you both 👏❤️🇬🇧

This was a lovely 3 day seminar to run for the lovely Maria Horn in Frankfurt.It is such a friendly place to train.
Everyone on the course worked so hard, stayed so focused and supported each other beautifully.
We had so many laughs together and you produced some amazing work together with your dogs.Lots of different breeds is always great to see.
We covered mainly dog dance but also some obedience.
The spectators asked great questions and joined in supporting and learning from those who worked.
A BIG thank you to Linda for your translation.You gave it with passion, humour and clarity.It was lovely working with you.
Keep up the good work, believe in yourselves and your furry friends and the sky's the limit 👍🇬🇧❤️

Thank you to Hilde and Ann-Kathrin for making me feel so relaxed, it was a lovely few days.
We had four great days of obedience.
You all worked so hard, supported and encouraged each other, it was great to see.
When training our dogs, the most important thing is the way they feel.When I looked at the dogs at the end, they all looked very happy, tired ( like they had just been on the best walk ever) and feeling very proud of themselves. Obviously this is just my interpretation but when I see this it feels like you have got the perfect energy and kind emotion in your training, spot on.
When you create this trust and feeling, the end results you want so much, just seem to happen.Well done 👏🇬🇧❤️

A beautiful course to run in Cordoba, Spain for "Just Golden"
Manuela and Elena are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet.
Manuela said when introducing me that "when she first met me I had replaced a part of her heart that had been missing for a long time".These words meant so much to me, thank you ❤️
This is a great place to train, full of lovely people who were so passionate about helping and supporting each other.
Elena ,my translator was "Just brilliant" delivering my message with such passion, enthusiasm and clarity.It was so much fun spending time with you.Thank you❤️
We had lots of different breeds with lots of different problems to overcome.You all dealt with these problems with kindness, the right energy and saw them as positive things that if dealt with, with no blame they made the end result look so easy to achieve.
Thank you all, it was a pleasure spending time with you and your lovely dogs 🇬🇧❤️🐕
