Dog Nerd Training is a small West Sussex dog training business run by Emily Talmadge CTDI PDT.

At Dog Nerd Training we want to inspire our clients to truly learn about their dogs and how to help them succeed throughout their life, and we aim to be with them every step of the way. Our small business model allows for the 1-2-1 attention and ongoing assistance our clients need in order to succeed long term. Making our service a true partnership between the client and myself. I, Emily, am a fully qualified dog trainer, puppy training specialist, and certified trick dog instructor (CTDI) with 5+ years of experience in the industry. I am also well known for my educational dog training graphics, which I use to proudly spread up-to-date training information across the web. When training I use science-based, force-free training methods alongside games-based training. I also focus on good habit-building for both dog and owner using worldwide recognised habit-building methods, this allows owners to keep motivated with their training so they can get long-term results they need. My focus and hope for my clients is that they will gain a true love of learning about their dogs and through their time with us they too will also begin to call themselves a 'Dog Nerd'.

Only our Friday classes this week, as we didn’t want to tempt fate with our Thursday set on bonfire night! But it was great to start these pups on their basic skills. 🐶 👍🏻

Now what a treat to get to see this handsome chap for a 1-2-1 session. He attended puppy classes around 4 years ago so it was truly lovely to catch up 🥰💕

Another lovely review! It’s always fantastic to see things click in both an owner and dog’s head with training - I love to see both excited to continue with training going forward! If training isn’t fun and rewarding for both owner and dog then progress won’t be made. So I try my best to make this happen in all possible scenarios I can. 🩷🐾

And our second set of puppy classes, and last for 2026, has started. Look at all these new puppies who we will see progress over the next 6-weeks! 😍🐾

Only one sleep now until Halloween, and many of you may be starting celebrations a little early!! 🦇

I hope you all have something you will enjoy planned, but I also hope that you will think of your canine pals during this time too. Here are a few safety tips for you and your pooch, to help avoid any actual scary 'tricks' occuring...

🎃 Keep your dog inside.

It is best to not take your dog out during the evening festivities, or for the trick or treating itself. Dogs do not understand all the costumes, lights, sounds and decorations, and will likely be quite unsettled by all the strange activity going on. Even the most placid dog could be spooked into acting out of character. You can instead let them celebrate inside with an extra tasty chew, or even cook up some healthy pumpkin for them to try!

👻 Don’t let your dog greet trick or treaters.

Strange people, plus costumes, can be very unnerving. As far as your dog is aware that really could be Satan knocking on the door! Even you, and people the dog knows, could be misconstrued when dressed up. So DO NOT tease your dog with masks and costumes. It is not fair on them and someone could get hurt. It also is best to keep your dog away from the door whilst you answer it, the last thing you want is for them to slip out in all the hullabaloo. Remember, you can even get ‘no trick or treaters’ signs if you feel you need to.

🎃 Don’t dress your dog up.

Dogs tend to find dressing up very uncomfortable, meaning it can make them more likely to react, or act out of character, as they do not understand what is going on. Costumes can cause their movement to be restricted, some have dangly distractions the dog can’t escape from, and the fact the dog doesn’t look like a normal dog could set off other dogs in the household too. If you really want your dog to get into the Halloween theme, buy them a simple spooky themed bandana to wear - so they look suave, but stay safe too!

👻 Be aware of the extra sweets and chocolate.

Remember, there are lots of extra sweets and bits around the house at this time of year, so be sure to keep them well out of reach of your canine companions, due to the dangers of both chocolate and the sweetener xylitol. Similarly, there will likely be litter around, and sweets dropped outside too, so watch where you walk in the aftermath of Halloween, so your dog doesn’t sn**ch up something dangerous by mistake!

Stay spooky, and safe! 🧡
