🐾 Your puppy is growing up… and suddenly everything else seems more interesting than you!

Recall becomes a little harder, walks get more exciting, distractions are everywhere and that puppy who once followed you around is starting to develop a mind of their own.

Sound familiar?

Puppy Progress is designed to help you navigate this stage while continuing to build the skills your dog needs as they grow.

We'll focus on practical, reward-based training that makes everyday life easier, including:
✨ Building engagement and focus around distractions
✨ Developing recall, even when there's plenty going on
✨ Walking nicely together
✨ Learning to settle around other dogs ✨ Building confidence and a stronger connection with you

And just as importantly, you'll learn how your dog learns, how to get the best out of your training and how to keep progressing together outside of class.

📅 Starting Saturday 21st November
⏰ 11:15am
📍 Renfrew Dog Training
🐾 Ages: 19 weeks – under 9 months
⌛6-week training block

Because having a dog who listens isn't about getting everything right every time.

It's about building a relationship where you can work together, even when the world gets exciting! ❤️

🐶 Those little puppy paws won't stay little forever… but the habits they learn now can last a lifetime! 💛

Bringing a puppy home is exciting, but there's also a lot to figure out along the way.

The jumping up, the excitement around other dogs, learning to listen when the world is far more interesting than you are… it's all part of growing up!

That's where Puppy Playschool comes in.
Our 6-week course gives you and your puppy the chance to learn together, build confidence and develop the everyday skills that make life together a little easier.

Throughout the course, we'll focus on:
🐾 Building engagement and focus around distractions
🐶 Helping puppies feel comfortable around other dogs
👋 Practising polite greetings
🎯 Developing confidence in new environments
💛 Learning everyday manners and impulse control
💤 Teaching puppies how to switch off and settle
🎲 Having fun with reward-based training games

It's not about having a perfectly behaved puppy by the end of six weeks. It's about understanding your puppy, learning how they learn and building skills you can continue practising in everyday life.

Ever tried opening your front door when you have two excited dogs waiting to get out? 😂

It's easy for the excitement to spread from one dog to the other, and before you know it, you're dealing with two dogs rushing towards the door!

But good door manners don't happen by accident.

With this multi-dog household, we started by working with each dog individually, teaching them that an opening door doesn't automatically mean it's time to rush through.

Then we brought them together and started practising as a team.

Because when you live with more than one dog, it's not just about teaching each dog a skill. It's about helping them put those skills into practice around each other, too.

Whether you're juggling one dog or a whole household, these everyday skills can make life that little bit easier.

This is the kind of practical, real-life training we work on through my 121 dog training sessions, helping you build skills that actually make a difference at home and out on walks.

Training dogs, teaching humans. 🐾

Ever wished your puppy would sit while you're putting their lead on, wait politely for their dinner, put their paws up when you need to clean them?

These are the kinds of everyday skills we worked on today.

We started with the foundations, helping owners understand how to use luring and communicate with their individual puppy before putting those skills into practice.

Because training isn't just about teaching your puppy to sit or lie down. It's about learning how to teach behaviours that make everyday life easier, more enjoyable and less stressful for both of you.

And once you understand the basics, you can start applying them to so many situations at home and out and about.

That's what puppy training is really about. ❤️

Does your dog know how to do absolutely nothing? 👀🐾

You know those moments when you just want to sit down with a cuppa, enjoy a coffee or have friends round without your dog feeling like they need to be involved in absolutely everything?

That's where teaching your dog to settle can make such a difference.

Settling isn't just about getting your dog to lie on a mat. It's about helping them learn that they don't always need to be doing something, watching everything or waiting for the next bit of excitement.
It's a skill we can teach, practise and gradually build into everyday life.

And the best bit? You're giving your dog something that will benefit them long after the training session is over.

Sometimes one of the most valuable things we can teach our dogs is how to switch off. ❤️

Have you ever thought about teaching your dog to settle, or is it something you struggle with at home?

📢 A wee reminder – NO CLASSES TODAY! 🐾

Just a reminder that there are no dog training classes running today as I'm taking a scheduled holiday.

All classes will resume as normal next week.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday, and give your four-legged pals a wee cuddle from me! ❤️🐶

Does your dog struggle when visitors come to the house? 🐶

For some dogs, having people over isn't exciting… it's overwhelming!

We had our second home session with wee Hamish the Collie, where we've been working on helping him feel more comfortable when visitors arrive.

Today we introduced two important skills:
🐾 Learning to lie down and relax.
🐾 Going to his mat, giving him a safe space to settle when things feel a little too much.

For sensitive dogs like Hamish, it's not about expecting them to simply put up with visitors. It's about teaching them alternative behaviours, building confidence and helping them cope with situations they find challenging.

There's still lots of work ahead for this wee sensitive guy, but he's taking it all in his stride. What a wee star! ❤️

Does having visitors over leave you worrying about how your dog will cope?

You don't have to figure it all out yourself.

One-to-one sessions allow us to work around your dog's individual needs, in the environment where you need the help most.

📩 Get in touch to book your 121 session and let's start working towards calmer, happier experiences for you and your dog.

🐶 Does your dog seem to forget you exist the minute you step outside?

That's something we wanted to work on with Toffee!

Toffee's dad got in touch because their walks were becoming a wee bit stressful, and he wanted to get ahead of things and build better engagement with his dog outdoors.

During our 121 session, we looked at how to make their everyday walks more rewarding, with a little more interaction and structure.

We worked on:

🐾 Building engagement through play, so it's not always about having treats in your hand.

🐾 Teaching Toffee that checking in and interacting with Dad outdoors can be rewarding.

🐾 Introducing sniffing activities to give him opportunities to use his nose.

🐾 Balancing little training moments with time to explore, sniff and just enjoy being a puppy.

Because a walk doesn't have to be six miles of trying to keep your dog focused on you, but it doesn't have to be six miles of you following them around either!

We want to build a partnership where both ends of the lead get something out of the walk.

And Toffee? Absolutely fabulous! He took to everything like a duck to water. One very smart cookie! ❤️

Does getting your dog's attention outdoors feel like a challenge?

121 sessions are a great way to work on the things that are happening on your everyday walks, with training tailored to you and your dog.

Drop me a message and let's get you both enjoying those walks a little more!

🐾 Don’t wait until your dog needs treatment to start preparing them for the vets! 🩺

For some dogs, a trip to the vet can feel like a lot to deal with. Strange smells, unfamiliar people, being handled and standing on a slippery table can all be overwhelming. 💛

The good news? There are things you can practise at home to help make those visits less stressful.

🐶 Here are 5 ways to get started:

1. Practise being handled. Gently touch your dog's ears, paws, legs and body, pairing each touch with a tasty treat. Keep it short and let your dog move away if they need to.

2. Make the carrier or car a happy place. If your dog associates the journey with the vet, practise short, positive trips that don't always end at the surgery.

3. Teach a settle. Reward your dog for relaxing on a mat or blanket. This can become a familiar comfort when they're in an unfamiliar environment.

4. Visit without an appointment. Ask your vet if you can pop in for a quick, positive visit, perhaps to weigh your dog or receive a treat from the team. Always check first!

5. Let your dog have a say. Where possible, give them time to sniff, take breaks and approach things at their own pace. If they're worried, don't force them through it.

💡 Remember: The goal isn't to make your dog tolerate everything. It's to help them feel safer and build positive associations, one small step at a time.

And if your dog is already frightened of the vets, don't worry. You haven't failed them. Speak to your vet about low-stress handling options and a plan to help them cope.

💬 How does your dog feel about visiting the vets?

Are they straight in looking for treats, or do they know exactly where you're taking them as soon as you park the car? 😂🐾
