Dog training with Barbara Sykes MCFBA & TLC Thinking Like Canines

Dog training with Barbara Sykes MCFBA & TLC Thinking Like Canines Training & behaviour for all breeds with the TLC – Thinking Like Canines technique developed by Barbara Sykes MCFBA MBPDT & Vicki Sykes TLC consultant

Our method of understanding and training dogs is without the use of check chains, titbits, haltis and toys. It helps people to gain their dog’s love, affection and good manners through natural body language and canine communication. Pulling on a lead is one of the most consistent problems presented to us but with correct communication it can be simple to train. More information can be found on www.bordercollies.co.uk

Nature and nurture - your thoughts

taken over 20 years ago, which one did I choose?

the one right at the back, her face just is sight. She was always with the others but never rushing forwards, she was a thinker and liked to stand back and observer. She became a fabulous working dog with sheep, was amazing with people, did lots of seminars with me and helped me to train other sheepdogs. She was well bred so some was nature and some nurture.

One must wonder if the power of speech has gone. what happened to that good old fashioned thing called communication, I often get more sense talking to my dog than to some folks!

A sneaky couple of days away on the east coast with Bonny and TJ in the camper. A crow scarer went off miles away and I awoke to my big brave sheepdog who can stand up to the stubbornest of rams in the bed with me! Not only that, she snores!!

Happy Easter everyone,

Chocolate puts weight on of this you can bet
but chocolate pinched by the dog is a trip to the vet.

Just thought of that rhyme, maybe good to share on
