🐾 Training with Katharine - Ruby 🐾

Recently I went to visit this little sweetie, Ruby.

Ruby had been displaying a bit of lead reactive behaviour when out and about and had marked the neighbour’s dog as a mortal enemy irregardless of the fact that he hadn’t done anything to her and is about five times her size 🙈

We worked on getting Ruby’s attention and keeping her focus on her owner. We used lots of positive reinforcement to encourage Ruby that other dogs aren’t so bad and that if she is feeling unsure, it is best to check in with Mum!

She did amazingly and picked up on her new commands very well. I am sure that with further practice, she will overcome this behaviour 💖 well done Ruby!

What another wonderful week of classes!

The star of the week from the pups was sweet Cloud! Cloud is new to the group and is a bit younger than the others but you couldn’t tell! He brought his A game and was so focused! He absolutely smashed it and we were all super impressed, great job, Cloud!

Ozzy got my star this week from the 6+months group. When Ozzy joined us he was so excited that getting him to focus on anything was a bit of a challenge 🙈 But this week, what a marvel! Everyone in the class agreed how much he had come on. Lovely loose lead walking and even a recall! Absolutely fantastic, Ozzy, I can’t wait to see more of this progress 🤩

In our 12+months class the star went to Cooper! It was a bittersweet moment as it was Cooper’s last class 😢 but he left with a bang by doing amazing emergency stops and recall. Great job, Coops! Now he has graduated the class we are going to work 1:1 in his home but I am sure we will see similar wonderful progress 💪

Great job, all! We have another bank holiday coming up but I look forward to seeing everyone return in two weeks 🥰

🌞✈️ Holiday Snaps from Our Lovely Clients! 🐾💼

We’ve been absolutely loving the photos some of our wonderful clients have shared from their recent holidays with their four-legged companions! 🐶📸 From beachy strolls to mountain adventures, it's so lovely to see the pups enjoying their time away just as much as their humans.

What’s made it even more special is seeing how training and routine have really paid off — calmer car journeys, relaxed pub lunches, and stress-free days out. 💛 It’s amazing what a bit of consistency and practice can do — whether it’s lead manners, recall, or just settling down when it’s time to chill.

We’re so proud of the progress these pups (and their people!) have made — and we’re always here to help you and your dog build the kind of relationship that makes holidays smoother and more fun 🐕🌍

Got any holiday snaps of your own with your dog? Tag us or drop them in the comments — we’d love to see! 🥰📷

🐾 Pawgress Report - Lyka 🐾

You may remember when we first met Lyka, she was pulling her mum all over the place on the lead, so bad her mum, Jodie, could barely walk her. She was also reactive to cars, anything on wheels and people.

Looking at her now is amazing, trotting along happily alongside her mum and not reacting to cars! This is amazing progress and we think they need a huge shout out, we're so proud of them!

Well done Jodie & Lyka! 🐾❤️

🐾 Training with Katharine - Leo 🐾

Last weekend the lovely Leo came to see me again.

It was our fourth session, for our last one we had introduced human distractions and this time I had enlisted the help of my old border terrier Barley as he is at that stage of his life where he can’t really be bothered to bark back if another dog was to bark at him 😅🙈 It is really important that if you want to introduce a stooge dog that they are not reactive themselves. I needed a dog that wasn’t going to react if Leo lost his cool. We of course had them both on leads to make sure everyone was safe.

We worked on the commands that we have been using before, inching closer and then coming away before Leo reacted. Slowly but surely we got closer and closer. Leo and his owner did so amazingly and by the end they were only a few meters apart. Even at this close distance, Leo chose to redirect his attention to sniffing the ground calmly. We were all so proud!

They still have a little way to go but he has done so amazingly and importantly this has given his owner some more confidence about what to do when he meets a dog out and about.

I was so pleased, well done Leo and Megan!!

🐾 Training with Jess - Roxie & Rubie 🐾

Last week, I went to meet Roxie, Rubie and their parents for a 1:1 training session on getting the girls to walk nicely together when out on lead walks. We started the walk from inside the home so I could observe them getting their leads on and see how the family gets out the door. From there, we went on a walk to their usual walking spot to get a real idea of what was happening.

From the moment the girls knew they were going for a walk, Rubie especially, became very overexcited, barking and jumping around, and this continued throughout the entire walk. I had a chat with their parents, and we started work straight away on helping Rubie calm down before even getting out the door. This included a lot of desensitising and mixing up her routine, such as putting her lead on and taking it off again, so that she doesn’t automatically assume that having her lead on means she’s going for a walk.

There’s a lot for their parents to work on over the next few weeks, but I’m absolutely sure they’ll smash their training plan. In a few weeks’ time, they’ll start to see some improvement, and I can’t wait to hear from them - good luck girlies 💗

🐾 Training with Jess - Pawgress Report - Ella 🐾

It’s been a couple of weeks since we last shared an update on Ella, but she’s been doing fabulously in both of her sessions! 🐶💪

We’ve been working on desensitising her to other dogs – starting with a barrier like a fence between them. This week, we made a big step forward and managed to be in the same field as another dog at a 5-metre distance! Ella made us all so proud – she sat calmly, watched the other dog, and we then removed her from the situation as a reward. 🌟

On the way back home, we bumped into a Labrador and a Cockapoo, and Ella was absolutely amazing. She sat nicely at my feet, watched both dogs walk past, and didn’t react at all. 🐾👏

Well done, Ella! You’re doing brilliantly and we’re so proud of you! 💛

🐾 Training with Jess - Pawgress Report - Belle & Roxy 🐾

This week, I went to visit Belle & Roxy with their mum for a follow-up session. Last year, I met with them to discuss Belle’s behaviour on walks – she gets overstimulated and tries to grab Roxy’s legs. 🐾

Since their mum has been on maternity leave and spending more time at home, Belle’s behaviour, although initially improving at the door, has unfortunately gotten worse. She’s now starting to display the same behaviour inside the home, particularly when Roxy wants to sit near their human family.

We talked about how to manage this by calmly moving Belle onto the floor if she reacts when Roxy wants to sit on the sofa next to her mum. After repeating this a few times, Belle started to understand – and eventually, she quietly joined her mum on the sofa too. 🛋️💛

These kinds of behaviours don’t change overnight. It’s all about consistency – calmly applying the same consequences and rewarding Belle when she stays calm and ignores her sister.

It may be a long road, but I truly believe that with patience and persistence, Belle will begin to understand what’s being asked of her, and her behaviour will shift over time. 🌟🐶

What another excellent evening we had this week with our classes!

The star of the week from our puppy class went to Meg. She amazed us all! I cannot believe her focus these days, she got the ‘safe’ command straight away this week and I even heard her owner exclaim ‘oh my god!’ 😂 Well done, Meg!

Sweet Harry got the award this week from the 12+month class. He had is brain in the game and you could even see it in his recall. He didn’t bound to his owner because he could tell she was going to ask him to do something else. He wasn’t wrong, when he was halfway he was asked for an emergency stop which he made look easy. Great work, Harry!

I awarded the star from the 6-12month class to Dexter. Dexter was new to the group and initially barked a lot. But with calm consistency from his owner he gradually came down and by the end he was sitting and waiting when asked. I can’t wait to see how he progresses!
Well done, Dexter!

Next week our pups have a week off for the bank holiday but I know they will be practicing and will come back to amaze me once again! So proud of them all 🥹

🐾 Training with Katharine - Teddy 🐾

This week I went round to meet Teddy and his owner.

They were having a bit of bother with Teddy being a bit reactive on the lead and also in social situations like going for a cuppa in a cafe.

We worked on getting his focus and also creating distance between him and other dogs to give him a helping hand.
We want him to be able to associate other dogs with a positive reward and encourage him to make the choice to check in if is feeling unsure.

He responded really well, such a quick learner! I am sure, with consistency from his owner, that he will learn to overcome these issues and I can’t wait to hear about how he gets on 🥰

Another fantastic training evening this week. All the pups did amazingly and made it really difficult for me to choose my stars of the week!

Dotty was the recipient from the puppy group this week. Last week Dotty was a bit away with the fairies but this week she was back in the game. Fabulous focus and perfect loose lead walking, well done Dotty!

Bruno was awarded the star from the 6-12month group. Bruno was a newcomer this week but you wouldn’t have known it! He cottoned on to the job in hand immediately and impressed us all! Wonderful work, Bruno!

I gave the star from the 12+months class to Fred. Fred’s emergency stops were immediate and he absolutely smashed his distance control! What a good boy!

Excellent work, everyone! I was super proud 🥹

🐾 Training with Jess - Theo 🐾

Last week, I went to meet Theo, who had been showing some resource guarding towards his family members, so his mum called me over for a chat and a training session.

Theo was initially not very happy about me being in the house—and he wasn’t afraid to show it! 😂 Since Theo hasn’t been exposed to many visitors in the home environment, this was a completely normal response for a nervous dog.

However, it didn’t take too long for me to win Theo over and for his behaviour towards me to change. I showed his owners how to handle this situation if another person were to come into the home. We also discussed resource guarding in depth, and I provided them with a training plan to work on over the next couple of weeks.

Theo’s human brothers sat in on the session and seemed really keen to get started with the training programme. Good luck, Theo—I’m sure you’ll smash it! 🐾👏

🐾 Training with Jess - Pawgress Report - Ella🐾

On Friday, Ella and I went out for our training walk. If you’ve missed her previous posts, we’re working on helping her become less reactive towards other dogs.

Once again, we had a really good session! Ella’s basic obedience on the lead is gradually improving, which is fantastic. She’s learning to heel and wait, which is great progress! We walked to one of our quiet fields, where Ella could see other dogs in the neighbouring field but from a safe distance.

Ella did amazingly in this situation. We gradually brought the dogs closer, and she remained calm with no reactions. Since she was doing so well, we decided to call it a day and walked home—side by side with my own dog, Martha. Once again, I noticed an improvement in Ella’s behaviour, and I can’t wait to see what this week brings!

Well done, Ella—you’re doing brilliantly! 👏🐾

🐾Training with Jess - Maya 🐾

Last week, I went to meet Maya and her family at Liberty Fields to observe how Maya behaved outside the home environment.

I initially planned to assess her reactions to other dogs, as she can be very boisterous when playing—particularly with one of her sisters. However, this also gave us a great opportunity to see how she responded to me, "a stranger," entering her space in an open environment.

I was so proud of Maya! It didn’t take long for her to completely relax around me, stop barking, and no longer feel the need to run at me.

It’s always wonderful to see dogs in different environments and notice improvements in just one session. I’m looking forward to catching up with Maya’s parents again soon, now that they have two training plans to follow—one for inside and one for outside the home.

Great work, guys! I’m sure it won’t take long for Maya to feel more comfortable around people both indoors and outdoors. 🐾👏
