I have the upmost respect for Lee and the way he trains.
As usual, he has hit the nail on the head with this one.
If we don’t expose the charlatans within this industry, tools will be banned.
Unfortunately, too many people say they understand what they’re doing yet lack very simple skills.

This industry is plagued by some of the most hypocritical individuals I have ever encountered.

There is persistent pressure and conflict among trainers who employ distinct techniques or methods.

This quarrelsome behaviour is relentless and exhausting, but I commend anyone who stands firm in their convictions.

What I find particularly objectionable are trainers who publicly promote themselves as purely positive or force-free, only to resort to the use of E-collars in private.

In my opinion, this behaviour is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Furthermore, there is one particular trainer who regularly appears on radio and television and goes into schools discussing dog behaviour. Despite having amassed over 40,000 followers, they continue to maintain a false image.

These sort of people should be ashamed.

Many of my clients use lanyards for whistles. These are my recommended product, they are lovely 🥰 Test Valley Lanyards

Flat or twisted…. Decisions decisions decisions 🤷🏼‍♀️

But just remember using an Ecollar is nasty for the dog……. Ask these sheep what they think?

A Scottish farmer has called for an overhaul in police powers after a recent devastating dog attack on his flock 😠 😔

After all the uproar caused by my original post, here is the official standpoint and and statement from Merrist Wood College ☺️👍🏼

Here at Merrist Wood, it's not just about learning the facts, it's about learning to think, challenge and becoming resilient to change... This is what produces well-rounded and resilient students and empowers them to evolve and transform best-practice in the animal industry. Recently, our Higher Education students studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare heard from Richard from EnrichK9 who gave us a very balanced and engaging talk about the diverse benefits and challenges of different training methods, approaches and technologies used to train working dogs.

As you can imagine, there is a lot of differing opinions and research about what works best for our canine friends and the people that own and work with them. Some of these approaches can even be controversial in nature but we believe that students, learning at the coal-face about our wonderful industry, should be aware of all facets of it and create their own informed opinions in addition to learning what is currently considered as best-practice. It was great to see the buzz that Richard's talk created and the vibrant discussions it has generated since with our students as they navigate this exciting stage in their journey.

I have just had a lovely conversation with the Collage and they have been extremely positive. Watch this space….

I try to stay out of politics unless it’s to do with animal welfare but this government is truly trying to ruin the farming industry. 😔😡

I hate to post pictures like this, but this is the reality of what happens when your little fur baby runs off in the countryside.

Wake up, smell the coffee and take responsibility.

Your actions (or lack of them) will result in all dogs being victimised.

This behaviour can be stopped with Ecollar training.

And before you say ‘keep all dogs on leads’… I’ve lost count of the amount of incidents that have happened when dogs pull their owners over.
