First visit to the pub for this 4 month old cockapoo.
She was very well behaved and took it all in her stride.
We've been practicing feeling relaxed in very calm areas when her owner sits down and this training is paying off nicely in new environments now.
If you want to learn how to teach your puppy this, join us for classes at the Roecroft centre.

It’s a minefield when you are looking to get some help for your dog. There are so many people advertising their services as ‘behaviourists’ and trainers that you get overwhelmed with information. 😫

❓ Here are a few questions that you should be asking, when looking for a behaviourist, trainer, or dog-walker. ❓

🐾 What qualifications – are they current, and if not, what CPD are they currently doing? It’s very important to employ someone who is constantly updating their knowledge, as science is always moving forward, and so should we. Do they have a relevant level of qualification for your particular issue?

🐾 What experience - how long have they worked with dogs and in what capacity? Have they worked with all types of dogs and issues, have they had experience with your dog’s particular issue?

🐾 What insurance – are they fully-insured for the service they are providing you with?

🐾 Organisations – are they members of any organisations, if so, which ones? Are these organisations well-known and do they have an ethics policy that is being adhered to? You should also be able to find your person on the organisations page, if you can’t, then ask the organisation to clarify (they may have been missed off).

🐾 What methods – are they modern, force-free and science backed? What happens if the dog gets something wrong? What ‘tools’ will they use? What happens when the dog gets something right?

These few basic questions should help you to find the right person, and they should be happy to answer these questions for you too. If they don’t answer them, find someone who will…

Some phrases to be aware of… If your selected person uses words like: ‘pack’, ‘leader’, ‘corrections’, ‘dominance’, ‘alpha’ ‘balanced’ then run away…! These are all very outdated terms and should be avoided; the use of these words may even give you an indication of the level of CPD your person has completed…!!

Teaching gate / door manners are something we introduce in puppy classes, not because we need to show them that we are the boss and don’t want them to think they are the pack leader etc…

Teaching manners and boundaries are important for safety for our puppies and we train in a way that is safe, kind and effective.

Julie- this came up on my memories today , looking forward to our walks again soon.

Practising their ' Down stays' ' when outside with other pups.
When can this be useful?
When there's things ahead of you you don't want them to get investigate - such as other animals ( cows, swans, horses etc..)
When there are bikes or joggers passing
And of course
When you want to pick up their poo .

Follow on and trick training course ( for pups who have completed at least 6 training classes with me), and foundation puppy course ( for younger puppies) starting on the 15 th June.

A simple idea for this puppy at 6 months old, learning a new skill and building confidence - bobbing for blueberries - a nice way to help keep cool inside when it’s so hot outside.
