When I ask if you have a well charged, solid marker, this is what I mean...
The benefit of using a marker in training is clarity. Whether it’s a clicker or a verbal marker such as “yes,” it allows you to pinpoint the exact moment your dog makes the correct choice.
A strong marker becomes a promise that reinforcement is coming, helping your dog understand precisely which behaviour earned the reward. This speeds up learning, improves communication, and creates confidence in the training process.
If your marker isn’t charged properly, it’s just noise. If it is charged and meaningful, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you can have in your training toolkit.

Deciding to own a working-line breed and expecting it to be content with a 20 minute stroll round the block and a few dehydrated biscuits on the sofa ...is like opening a can of tomato soup and being surprised it’s tomatoey; working-line dogs were bred to work, no love or luxuries in the world are going to change that! Not copied but inspired by the legendary music by

Scentwork is an excellent activity that provides mental stimulation, builds confidence, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. The best part? It’s a skill that any dog can learn and enjoy.
For owners of high-drive and working breeds, giving your dog a meaningful job can make a huge difference to their overall wellbeing and fulfilment. Why not add scentwork to their résumé?

Sorry guys, I had no idea that post was going to blow up the way it did.

On my busiest day of the week I’m training dogs and trying to run a business.

I will not tolerate people who come to my page to insult, argue and promote themselves. Do it on your own page !

This woman has been trolling dog trainers all over the world.

I don’t have time for that nonsense!

No decent trainer does!

To be clear…

I will NOT train your dog if they are taking SSRI’s - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Basically ‘Doggy Prozac’.

I am yet to meet a case where these were genuinely needed.

A few reasons why I do not like the usage of these drugs:-
🐾 It treats emotional state, not obedience. A dog may be calmer but it won’t be more reliable in terms of recall etc…

🐾 Behavior can become blunted instead of improved. Some dogs become lethargic, less engaged, or slower to respond. That can look like “calmness” while masking stress rather than resolving it.

🐾 Side effects can interfere with learning. Common side effects include appetite changes, sleepiness or reduced play drive. In most dogs, this can reduce motivation during training sessions.

🐾 Wrong diagnosis = wrong treatment. A dog pulling on leash, barking, or ignoring commands is unlikely to have an anxiety disorder at all. Using medication for normal undertrained behavior can delay proper training.

🐾 You are unable to see the true picture. When i train a dog i want to be able to see how the dog naturally behaves, not a dumbed down version. If the dog is frightened or anxious then I’ll work on that first. If this behaviour is masked then how would I know what to work on?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record : Please bring your dog some water!

It is YOUR responsibility to provide water for them, no one else’s!
