“Let’s talk dog training — because there’s a lot of confusion out there.

One big difference I want dog owners to understand is this:

Reward-based training teaches your dog what to do.
Tools like e-collars focus on stopping behaviour by making the wrong choice uncomfortable.

Now, here’s the thing — when a behaviour stops, it doesn’t always mean it’s been solved.

If a dog comes back on recall because they’re worried about a correction, they haven’t learned why coming back is a good idea — they’ve just learned what to avoid.

With reward-based training, we show dogs how to succeed.
We build skills, confidence, and understanding — not fear.

And this works for real-life struggles:
pulling on the lead, recall, reactivity, over-excitement… even the dogs people label as ‘stubborn’.

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure which approach is right for your dog, you’re not failing — you just need clearer guidance.

If you want training that strengthens your bond and gets results, send me a message.
I’d love to help you and your dog.”

🐾 ABTC-Accredited Animal Training Instructor 🐾

Just a reminder that I am ABTC-accredited as an Animal Training Instructor (ATI).

The Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) sets nationally recognised standards for ethical, evidence-based, welfare-focused animal training in the UK. My accreditation reflects an ongoing commitment to these standards, including regular professional development and adherence to a strict code of conduct.

For my clients, this means:
✔ Training grounded in current behavioural science
✔ A strong focus on animal welfare and emotional wellbeing
✔ Ethical, reward-based methods
✔ Professional accountability and continued learning

Working with an ABTC-accredited instructor helps ensure you’re choosing training that is kind, effective, and evidence-led — with your animal’s welfare always at the centre.

🌟 Tilly putting in the work! 🌟

From pulling to perfect focus, she’s absolutely smashing her loose-lead walking using reward-based training. Even with long grass, sniffy spots, and other dogs around, she stays connected and engaged with her owner.
Building good habits one marker, one reward, and one proud moment at a time. 💛🐾

Today was a huge milestone for Angel — and one I’m incredibly proud of. 🐾❤️
When she first started with me, she needed time to build her trust, confidence, and understanding of what was being asked of her. Through consistent, reward-based training and working at her pace, she began to relax, tune in, and realise that she could rely on her handler even in more challenging environments.

And today, all that work paid off. Angel enjoyed her walk completely off lead — checking in beautifully, responding with confidence, and truly embracing her freedom. This is what trust looks like. This is what teamwork looks like.

At MC K9 Coaching, I help dog owners build this kind of relationship with their dogs — one where trust, communication, and confidence make off-lead adventures not just possible, but enjoyable and safe for everyone.
If you’d love to experience that same freedom with your dog, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. 🌟

Impulse control. The dogs natural want and desire to seek the reward or outcome. IMPULSE CONTROL starts at home, build the foundation when it’s easy before expecting it to work outside.
Choose boundaries
Choose trust
Choose safety
This is working progress before we tackle the impulse to chase 🐿️ 🦊 🐄 🐑 🐎
