Chilling out!

It is really important to sometimes let your dogs do nothing. Allow them to switch off, so they can rest their body and brain!

Spaniel club (and honorary spaniels)

Doing some fun agility to keep their spaniel minds active!

With the amber weather warning in place, I thought I would do a quick post:

🐶 Make sure your dog stays hydrated
🐶 Go on shaded walks or near water
🐶 Avoid the midday heat
🐶 Avoid pavements! Too hot for your hand, too hot for your dog!
🐶 Give your dog a nice frozen treat, frozen carrots are good!

Remember 20 minutes of mental stimulation - training, sniffing, enrichment games is equivalent to an hours worth of physical exercise

We will continue to monitor the weather and reschedule appointments if we need to!

Stay safe!

Havign a dog is more than just being an owner.

It is being a paw-rent, it is having a bond and connection with the furry member of your family.

When you have a dog you are invested, not just financially, but mentally, emotionally and physically.

Being blessed with dogs is a miracle in itself!

At times it can be hard, frustrating and challenging and I know how hard it can be, however I know there is always light at the end of the tunnel and you can turn things around

If you need some help with your dog to get the connection back, send me a message

Happy Easter from us here at Intelligent Dog Training

Happy New Year from us all here at Intelligent Dog Training!

It has been a wonderful year in so many ways and very cruel in others!

We really do need to cherish the time we have with our dogs. We should enjoy every single moment with them.

Being a dog parent can be really hard and challenging at times. There are times when you will be overwhelmed with joy and others when only a glass of wine will help!

If you notice any changes in your dog speak to your vet and if they can't fine anything speak to a behaviourist.

Our dogs are great communicators and will tell us when something is wrong. A change in their behaviour is never for no reason at all! We just need to make sure we listen to them so we can help them!

Hunter had a change in behaviour recently and if we didn't act when we did. He may not have been here today!

If you want to be added to our waiting list for individual training or agility, obviously let me know!

Merry Christmas everyone

What a busy few months it has been here at Intelligent Dog Training!

I have been helping a range of dogs with behavioural problems as well as general training needs.

Due to the global pandemic a lot of dogs missed out on their early socialisation. Which that most people are experiencing complications in their training and noticing things that were never really a problem before because the world wasn't normal.

It is ok to feel deflated and exhausted! After all it is completely normal. Living with a dog that is anxious, scared or frightened can be hard work.

Just know you are not along and if you need any help, there I do have a couple of spaces becoming available in person.

My online programmes have gone crazy through with some really incredible results!

So you are struggling, feel deflated, exhausted and can't see a way through your dogs behaviours right now, just drop me a message and I will see how I can help!

As dog owners I think we natural feel gulity when it comes to our dogs.

We feel gulity they can't go off lead and play with their friend

We feel gulity that they pull on the lead as it hurts them

We feel guilty that we have to leave them during the day and they can struggle with that.

It is completely normal to feel guilty, however when you work with me I give you options to change the way you train and to change your mind set so you don't have to feel guilty.

🐾 We can get your dog coming back when called so that he/she can play with their friends

🐾 We can get your dog walking nicely on a loose lead so it doesn't hurt their neck

🐾 We can get your dog comfortable with being left alone so they are not howling whilst you are out

If you are struggling with feeling gulity, get in touch to see how I can help you.

Albie 💙

How beautiful is this boy!

I specialise in labradors and this boy is a very typical crazy, nutty, loving labrador sho has a love for life.

Albie's training is even more important due to his health issues. We need to ensure he is being as calm as possible when he see's people and well as other dogs

Loose lead walking is a really important part of his recovery, so we will be working hard to ensure he is has the perfect loose lead walking

Puppy Power 🐾

Meet Eliza 💛

This young lady has been coming to weekly puppy training classes which she loves.

However her mum was struggling with getting her in the car to bring her so asked if I could help.

We played some games and used some of Eliza's favourite treats now she doesn't want to get out!

Training should be FUN and REWARDING for both you and your dog!

If you have a training struggle, get in touch sooner rather than later! I can help you!

Setting your walks up for success! ⭐️

If you leave the house with your dog bouncing off of the ceiling that is going to set the pace for the walk

Try do some training before you go out

Put their lead on 5/10 minutes before you want to go

Make sure you have some tasty treats to hand and reward them for the behaviours you like!

Meet Goose 💛

This gorgeous little girls mum got in touch with me as she wants to get things right from the start.

We worked on:
🐾 Loose lead walking
🐾 Focus and Attention on her mummy
🐾 Ignoring sheep poo
🐾 Recall techniques

Plus lots more!

It is really important to put the foundations in at the very start as the older and bigger they get the more they learn naughty habits and the longer it takes to unpick the naughty ones and replace with good habits

If you would like to step your puppy on the right path, get in touch to see how I can help!
