And that was Easter 2025!! Gone in the blink of an eye.

Yesterday, just before the footie was about to start, I received an email telling me that I'd been accepted as a member of ICAN, The International Companion Animal Network!
What does this mean? Not a lot really, nothing has changed, it's just recognition of a force and fear free approach to training and behaviour modification. No use of choke, shock or aversive techniques. But importantly, recognising, that there isn't space for hurt, pain or suffering in the name of training.
Accreditation through CABTi (you know, that 3 year journey through hell that I took some of you on!!) qualified me for membership to this Network of like minded individuals from all around the world!!
And Arsenal won... so with a long weekend ahead too, I think i should probably buy a lottery ticket.
Have a great weekend and happy Easter y'all.

The weather has become typically April but... we've seen our first swallow and heard reports that the Rake cuckoo has been heard towards Chapel Common.
Walks and adventures will now be centred trying to track down the cuckoo for a sighting. Spring... love a bit of spring!!!

AI produced a poem about a subject in a few seconds. Poetry is supposed to be an expression of feeling towards something or someone. Technology is robbing us of expression, communication and emotions.
Why can't AI do something more practical like level out this f****** wall I've just put up?

3 wire haired vizslas today... let's ask AI to write us a poem about them...

Three coats of bristle,
Boundless energy unleashed,
Chasing autumn winds.

In fields they dart swift,
Golden hues against the green,
Nature's joyful dance.

Eyes like amber flames,
Friendship forged in playful leaps,
Heartbeats in rhythm.

Yesterday, I used the phrase, "be the person your dog thinks you are."
The phrase has been around a while and is also the title of an old book!
The message is simple, that no matter how bad life is, how bad your day has been or what is going on in your life... your dog still thinks you're awesome and you are the best thing in their world.
So don't disappoint them!!

There seems to be a new trendy word in the dog training world ... 'leadership'! The problem with the term leadership is that the definition is wholly dependent upon the thinking of the person promoting the leadership. And their version may differ greatly from yours!!
Leadership can mean anything from dominance and intimidation to influence and guidance. Words in training are a minefield!!

Just be the person your dog thinks you are!!

Social media lite weekend and I feel great for it!!
No Trump. No MAGA. No beast from the east. No Tesla, No war, No Putin, Farage or Starmer.
No shock collars, prong collars, choke chains or slip leads. No keep your dogs on a lead or trainers hating trainers.
Just sunshine, some jobs, our own and a few guest dogs.

I've been waiting all day, and not one mention of walking dogs in the heat!!Happy Friday y'all

A bit of time with today's HPRs. And our boy Toby joining us for some fun.

I've been reading how AI is on the verge of providing personalised dog training courses that adapt in real time to the dog's progress. Whilst AR (augmented reality) could provide immersive real life scenarios simulating real life challenges and distractions in training.

It's almost here ... the day that you don't even have to leave the house with your dog!!

Dog Trainers must be getting bored, they've done slip leads, flexi leads, e-collars, choke chains, treats, reward rates, swimming, weather and now we're on to games and in particular, fetch and claims that it's emotionally damaging.

OK ... No it isn't.

If you're interested then read on...

Claims are suggesting that it creates an increase in dopamine and cortisol, takes posession over the predatory motor sequence, leaves your dog in a state where the sympathetic nervous system is active and causes reactivity.

There's a claim that it starts the predatory motor sequence but fails to complete it. The predatory motor sequence is:
Orientate - eye - stalk - chase - grab bite - kill bite - dissect - consume

But there aren't many dogs that ever complete this full sequence anyway. Are they stuck in this state of not completing the sequence? Left frustrated and emotionally damaged? No... they're not, because 1000s of years of selective breeding have hypertrophied some behaviours and extinguished others.

A game does not need to result in consumption for it to be satisfying to your dog.
Hormonally, dopamine is increased. The happy hormone, excited through ANTICIPATION (remember the whisky tale!!).

Cortisol, the stress hormone, spiked by AROUSAL... but that cortisol spike also happens when you walk into the house and your dog greets you!! We don't want too much too often but hey, fetch isn't going to do that. (Neither is coming home from work!!)

Fetch can become an obsession, but a dog that develops an obsession with fetch is also likely develop an obsession with something else like chasing cars, cats, shadows.

Some dogs take longer to come down than others, but management by the intellectual human can help with that. Perhaps herein lies the problem... 😃

Fetch is a game. If we stop playing games with our dogs then relationships suffer.

I play fetch with my dog. I don't stand in one spot and endlessly chuck a stick or ball, we mix it up a bit between seek and search and practice our delivery. But it's still fetch, she enjoys it, and that's the important thing!

For any new dog coming to Allywags we always insist on a trial day and we do this for several reasons. It's an opportunity to meet the guardians, a day to make sure that the dog is comfortable and happy in our care, but most importantly, it gives us the opportunity to start building a good relationship through play.
Trial days are so important and ensuring that we are the right fit is as important for us as it is for your dog.
