https://foreverhomedogtraining.com/contact-us- I am Gareth the owner and founder of Forever Home Dog Training, I have always found dogs fascinating and I love the connection and bond you can build with a dog. As a child I grew up with Border collies but I believe that every dog has the ability to take a special place in your heart, home and family. Having serv

ed 12 years as a Police officer, I decided in 2021 that I wanted a change and took the opportunity to become a dog trainer. Now I am helping both dogs and their owners to live happy and settled lives in their forever homes. As the owner of both a German Shepherd that I have raised and trained from being a puppy, and a Staffordshire bull terrier that I adopted I began appreciating the need to understand behaviour and the importance of building a solid bond with your dog. I started studying dog behaviour and I am currently working towards an advanced canine behaviourist qualification and have attended numerous other courses regarding canine behaviour, reactivity, body language and puppy development. I believe in continuous learning to further my high standards, ethics and methodology of positive reinforcement and force free training, as it provides better value and increases the support I offer but also ensures that my sessions are fun and informative and supports all dogs in the best way possible. I work with all breeds including puppies with a specialism in reactivity cases and supporting owners of rescue dogs. I offer 1-2-1 training and support in the Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Derbyshire areas but if you live further away not a problem as we also offer online training and support. I love seeing the change in a dog and their confidence build, I look forward to working with both you and your dog in the future. We are constantly improving and our updating our skills and knowledge by regularly attending courses and events this way you know that you are receiving the best training for you and your dog.

One of my clients this week asked about keeping their dog occupied and engaged away from their window and front door but also giving the dog an activity that gets their mind working without always relying on going for walks.

In this case we discussed scatter feeding...what is it?
Well its simply using the dogs favourite food in your backyard, garden or a low traffic area out on a walk.

You simply scatter (imagine bird seed out on a park) on the ground and let your dog have a great time.

If you want to be more sneaky you can be methodical and use hiding spots and a variety of foods.

Why is it effective for dogs especially reactive or over stimulated dogs?
There are 4 main benefits

👍 1. Reduces frustration
👍 2. Manages stress
👍 3. Encourages exploration
👍 4. Burns energy

From this we get enriched and fulfilled dogs that have been given a job, we are letting them hunt, we are encouraging scent work, brains are engaged and we see calmer canines.

That's a little win for me and a great activity for this hot weather.

✨ Is Your Dog’s Reactivity Taking Over Your Life?✨
If walks have become stressful, if your dog’s barking, lunging, or over-the-top reactions are wearing you down, you’re not alone — and there is a way forward.

Our Signature 6-Month Calmer Canine Program is built for owners of reactive and rescue dogs who feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn.
✅ 1 kick starter session.
✅ 12 bespoke 1:1 in-person sessions – focused on your dog’s specific triggers and behaviour.
✅ 4 group Zoom calls – learn, share, and get expert advice alongside others who truly understand.
✅ 6 in-person group sessions – safe, supportive environments to practise real-world skills.
✅ Unlimited WhatsApp support – because questions don’t only happen in session time.
✅ Digital guides – your go-to reference for everything we cover.

💡 This isn’t a “quick fix.” It’s a complete transformation – for both you and your dog.

We’ll help you:
🐾 Understand your dog’s behaviour on a deeper level
🐾 Build calm and confidence step-by-step
🐾 Enjoy life together without fear or frustration
Your dog doesn’t need to be “perfect” – they just need a chance to feel safe, understood, and supported.
And so do you. ❤️

📅 Spaces for our 6-month program are strictly limited so each client gets the personalised support they deserve.

Getting client feedback is amazing especially when it’s also an update on how they are doing having completed 1-2-1 training with me.

I’m sharing this not just to show off but to also show that being consistent and committed with your training can help you achieve your goals and outcomes.

Loki was a lovely puppy but struggled with aspects of his confidence and just could not settle.
With our training we were able to focus on exactly what his mum and dad were looking for.
