Yet another fabulous day geeking out and training with Dog Training with Corinne Wrend!!

Auntie Corinne was super hands on this month, and as always we all learnt lots and talked neuroscience geeky stuff too!!

These workshops are one of my favourites every month!!

Love this photo of all the poodles!!
This original photo was taken before the girls arrived and obviously Teddy had left us before Button arrived too - so I couldn't get a snap of all of the 6 together, but I love the photo of the boys together so with the help of some jiggory pokery I now have a lovely photo of them all together 🤗😍

How did you manage with the fireworks last night?

It's never going to go away, so we need to work with the dogs and ensure that we can make things as comfortable as we can!!

The one thing that I found a few years ago, thanks to Martina Miradoli posting about 7 years ago I think it was, are Taiko Drums - search on YouTube for them!!
I actually play the drums regularly for my dogs, for things like when I leave them for longer than usual etc!
They cover the random noises and bangs outside so help my guys not reacting to that kind of thing even when the drums are not playing!

Valerian Compound - is a herbal remedy that helps with calmness, I get mine from Dorwest Herbs (I do have some small bottles for sale at the barn if anyone needs)

A good walk before 5pm and a long lasting chew / lickimat / stuffed Kong etc just as it's going dark after their evening dinner!!

Then settle down with the drums on the speaker and TV on a few notches louder than usual and all the windows & curtains closed and the lights on to mask the noise and flashes!!

If your dog is used to wearing a coat then that can also help some dogs as well as turning up the heating - the heat seems to knock them out 🤭

I snood over the dogs ears is also a good option for some dogs - but potentially you will have needed to get them used to it before now!
If you haven't got one you could make something with cutting the sleeve off a hoodie (something with a little give in the material) or a sock depending on the size of your dog!! It should be snug not too tight!!

If you can play with your dog, scatter feed or do some training that's even better!!
Managing a multi dog household is tricky so that's not always been possible for us!!

If your dog needs to go outside to the loo, make sure you take them on lead - a scared dog can bolt and run miles before they calm down - especially if the fireworks are still going off - better safe than sorry!!

There are some big displays this weekend planned so make sure you are prepared!!

The main onslaught will be this weekend, then it will be just a few random ones after that til Xmas 🤦🏼‍♀️
We have got this, don't panic 🤗

Pic of Tinks chosen hidy spot last night for laughs!! 🤗

We are never going to control the fireworks and the noise, so we need to learn how to help the dogs cope!!
I have had years and years of upset dogs, but currently we are doing ok!!
If you are struggling check out the fireworks survival guide in the PTD Dog Training Community 🙏🏼

Hey folks, I have been asked if I would share this with you, to see if anyone would be interested in taking part in the research, I am going to join in, to see what it's all about!!
Anything that can help our dogs has got to be good!! 🤗

🚨 REACTIVE DOG BOOT CAMP – TWO DAYS TO UNDERSTAND YOUR DOG BETTER! 🐾

It's BACK! ❤️

I've got a spare weekend at the end of November and I've decided it's time to bring my Reactive Dog workshops back!

Living with a reactive dog can be challenging. The constant vigilance, worrying about encounters, changing walking routes and feeling as though you always need to be one step ahead.

But understanding WHY your dog reacts is the first step towards helping them.

So, I'm planning a TWO-DAY REACTIVE DOG BOOT CAMP at Preston Trick Dogs, Inskip!

📚 DAY ONE – UNDERSTANDING REACTIVITY
Saturday 28th November

An owners-only educational day covering why dogs react, understanding body language, triggers and thresholds, practical management strategies and how we can help dogs develop better coping skills.

There will also be demonstrations with my own dogs, giving you the opportunity to see some of these concepts in action.

🐕 DAY TWO – PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE
Sunday 29th November

Bring your dog!

We'll put some of that learning into practice with individual training, carefully managed group exercises and practical strategies tailored to your dog.

We'll be working with a VERY small group of just 4–6 dogs to ensure everyone gets the space, attention and support they need.

A little about the trainer…

Meet Hollie! ❤️

Hollie was the dog who started my journey into dog training. Living with a reactive dog gave me an entirely different perspective on dog behaviour and taught me so much about the importance of understanding the dog in front of us.

This isn't about quick fixes, suppressing behaviour or expecting your dog to love every other dog they meet.

It's about understanding, communication, practical skills and helping both ends of the lead!

📍 Preston Trick Dogs, Inskip
📅 28th & 29th November 2026
💷 Introductory price: £175 per dog and handler for both days.
🐾 Only 6 working dog places available.

Dogs will be assessed for suitability before booking is confirmed.

Interested? Drop me a message or comment below!

Let's help you and your dog find a better way forward. ❤️

Last week we had some fun in the weekly zoom classes with some spooky magic ✨
Making the dogs disappear 🫠

There is still time to join us on Zoom for November - does your dog have this much fun training? 🥰

02/11/2026

Yesterday we had a very small group training day with the totally lovely Heather Smith 🤗
We all left feeling excited about new ideas and things to work on over the winter break!
One of the moves I need to proof is this one with Button for her routine we are starting to build together!!
However, big bro Henry couldn't be left out of the training so he joined in too!! 🤣🤣
