Learning together in real life situations is the best classroom.

Which is why my group dog owner training sessions are so good.

Saturday 6th June at 09.00 meeting at Bagworth Heath Woods, Heath Road, Bagworth is the next session where you will learn what makes your dog tick, just so you know these sessions are frequented by reactive dogs with worried owners as these are the people who need the urgent help as they learn to help their dog change.

There are only 6 places available in these sessions, quality training for dog owners.

The cost is £20.00 per dog payable in cash on the day please and you reserve your place by commenting on this post.

Let my 35 years experience of helping dog owners help you, I also work on a 121 basis and offer home visits.

Sessions with me are ongoing as no one cal resolve an issue in one session followed by a report.

I used to think I had to teach the dog, because the dog had the issues, the dog had the unwanted behaviour.

I vividly remember a moment when I was competing at national level in protection work with my dog at just how inconsistent people were with their training, their instructions and the required response from their dogs.

I trained differently and got different results because I knew the dog can only do what i had taught her. If she got it wrong, it meant my training wasn't good enough and she didn't understand what was required of her.

I see this with every client I work with, I see this in every dog I encounter, where the dog is trying to solve a problem, the dog is asking so many questions about the situation, yet all these requests for help are being missed.

Because of this, the dog then makes up their own mind because that is all they have left, they make a decision we don't want and the owners reaction is usually totally out of all proportion, hugely reactive and this inly further reinforces in the dogs mind the owner cannot be trusted in situations of stress and confusion because they only add to it.

I have been around dogs a long time, I got my first dog 40 years ago and have had them in my life every since.

At one point I had 9 German shepherds, that was a lot of fun, I have three rehomes now, two used to bite their previous families, they have never bitten any of my family.

Why? Because we behave differently and my communication is much better.

You are both the cause and the solution for your dogs behaviour, but you will have to want to make changes.

I am going to give you the solution to all of your behavioural issues in one sentence.

If you can do it properly and consistently in all situations, you will see big changes.

Stop reacting to the things your dog does wrong and praise them when they get it right.

There is nothing simpler or clearer than that for your dog, it is very simple and easy for you to do so go do it.

I bring my 35 years experience of working with dog owners and help by working 121 with you, I offer home visits because that is where all behaviours are learned because that is where you spend the most time with your dog and your dog is allowed to do what they want.

I also offer group dog owner training sessions where you really do learn.

Message me in the first instance on WhatsApp on 07890 455001 and we can arrange a chat.

Changing your behaviour often needs help and guidance and working in a group can be a big help.

The next group dog owner training session is on Saturday 30th May at 09.00meeting ast Bagworth Heath Woods, Heath Road Bagworth.

You will learn why your dog behaves in the way they do and how your behaviour can influence it and change it, the choice really is yours and I can show you how.

There are only 6 places available and you reserve your place by commenting on this post, you are welcome to bring your family and friends if they are a part of your dogs life.

The things that most people find most diifcult is being relaxed and not pulling on the lead, yes you read that right, most people struggle to not pull on the lead.

The session is £20.00 per dog payable in cash on the day please, all dogs are welcome as are questions and discussions.

A lot of information is exchanged and a lot of that information may well be different to what you hVE LEARNED BEFORE.

I jave 35 years experience in helping people change their behaviour to be a better dog owner, I have competed at national level in obedience, tracking and protection work and have rescue dogs who used to be biters.

I also work on a 121 basis and offer home visits, these are much more intense than the group sessions and have such a powerful impact you see changes in your dog during the first session.

WhatsApp message e on 07890 455001 for a chat or more information.

What level are you capable of?

Your dog is probably ahead of you and at a higher level.

What can you do?

You can invest time in spending time with your dog, you can invest money in my help, you will learn everything you need to have complete understanding of your dog and for your dog to completely understand what you require of them.

The secret?

The quality and the timing of the communication. And the consistency of the communication.

This morning I walked a previously reactive terrier through a mix of 8 dogs, two of them barked and the terrier didn't even bother.

I spent the session also deliberately not using the lead, it was attached as a fail safe, but I didn't resort once to using it.

All comms were done by noise and gentle touch, and the corrent timing of praise.

The same dog even recalled when two squirrels raced across tree branches just above her head, again, no use of lead.

Working with a high drive dog is a challenge, this dog has a huge prey drive yet control is possible with only consistent communication.

When a dog understands you are properly paying attention, reading their questions and answering promptly, you can see the stress and frustration of indecisionmelt away and how the whole frame and expression of the dog changes as they learn it is ok to be relaxed.

Most dogs actually enjoy having less to do and less to worry about.

I work on a 121 basis, I offer home visits and I offer group dog owner training classes.

How far you want to get with your dog is up to you.

I have 35 years experience of helping dog owners, I have trained and competed dogs in tracking, obedience and protection work. I have reactive rescues of my own, two were biters when they came to me, they are much calmer and happier now, I work with all breeds and sizes.

Your dog is only as balanced as you are.

Your dog only does what you have taught it to do

Your dog only copes the same way you do

Your dog is more used to being told off than praised, or worse, both!

Now reflect on your own life.

Are you calm or excitable?

Are you reactive or stable?

Can you control your emotions and energy?

Are you able to think clearly and calmly under pressure?

Are you a team player?

Are you able to put the needs of others first?

Are you able to apply things that don't gratify you but work for your dog?

Are you adaptable or stuck in your ways?

How do you adapt to change?

How willing are you to learn?

These are all character traits that determing your ability to deal with a challenging or difficult dog.

Or a demanding dog, or a diva dog, or just a stubborn dog.

How patient are you?

How consistent can you be?

Every dog is different as much as every person is different which makes each dog/owner relationship unique so the training for the owner is bespoke every time, because you are unique and I tailor my training to suit you, how you think and how you respond.

I work 121, I offer home visits and group dog owner training sessions.

Once you start to behave differently, you dog will too, I have 35 years experience of helping dogs with their people, in order to have a happy dog we need a well trained owner.

The learning continues, the education continues, the dispelling of misunderstanding continues.

My next group dog owner training session is on Saturday 23rd May starting at 09.00and meeting at the Bulls Head, Loughborough Road, Thringstone and we will be walking around Grace Dieu ruins..

There are only 6 places available and you reserve your place by commenting on this post please.

The fee is £20.00 per dog payable in cash on the day please.

The things that you thought you knew about dog behaviour are probably not accurate.

Your interpretation of your dogs behaviour and reactivity are probably not accurate.

Your responses to these behaviours is probably making them worse.

And add more stress, confusion and frustration.

I look forward to helping you.

I also work 121 and offer home visits.

Your dog knows exactly how you are going to behave and has no idea it is their behaviour that causes your reaction.

Your dog behaves as it does because of things you have let them do or things you react to.

If neither of those things change with you, your dog has no reason to change.

Understanding just how tuned into you your dog is can be a real revelation and then learning how even small changes can result in big changes is even more astounding.

After 35 years of working with dog owners, dogs still amaze me every day at the pace they can change at when the communication is better and clearer and calmer.

Most dogs want a calmer life, those that insist on trying to be in charge need more consistent owners because if they are allowed freedom the rest of the time, yet walks are supposed to be different, it just won't work.

Dogs don't to do well when left to make their own decisions, they can quickly demote their owners to insignificance and it is a slow but deliberate path to redress the balance.

Nothing is a quick fix, change takes time and people can be slow tochange, it just takes us longer than our dogs to bring consistent change.

The way I work is a simple one, I teach you what is causing your dogs current issues, how they learned them from you and how you need to change your behaviour.

When you are better meeting your dogs needs because you understand them better, yours and your dogs life will be so much better, much calmer and you will actually enjoy being together again.

I work 121, I offer home visits and I run group dog owner training sessions.

What will you learn?

Simple yet very effective techniques to help you and your dog be calmer, to stop pulling on the lead and to be better behaved around people and dogs, even excitable and reactive people and dogs.

I also work 121, offer home visits and travel wherever needed.

Would you like to know how I got a reactive terrier to relax to the point she lay down whilst other dogs walked past and others barked, and she did nothing?

You could call it a masterclass, or just the application of good observation, good timing of comms and lots of praise for good behaviour.

Hold on, that is a man doing three things at once, so that probably is a mastercalss because a lot of people find multi tasking difficult, they also find being patient difficult.

Studying your dog is often overlooked, determining their response times, their trigger points, their offload point, their frustration threshold.

This involves getting to know your dog and getting the feel of your dog, theri tension levels, their stimulation responses, their lead responses.

How well do you think the person walking their dog whilst o the phone or listening to airpods knows their dog?

Not at all because they would rather be somewhere else or be doing something else.

How can you get to know your dog when you are that diconnected?

How well does the person who just lets their dog off to run around with no recall know their dog?

Not at all because they have no idea, same as the person who shouts across my dog is really friendly.

No knowledge, no control.

What do you do if your dog makes a mistake, how do you react?

Is the dog making a mistake because you are not paying attention? Yet you never tell yourself off, do you?

Who made the mistake, you or the dog?

If you would really like to really know your dog, work with me.

I work on a 121 basis, I offer home visits, I offer group dog owner training sessions.

Message me on Whatsapp on 07890 455001.
