Reward-based dog training and behaviour services There are classes for puppies and older dogs new to training, intermediate and advanced.

Abbey Dog Training provides training classes for dogs and puppies in Swindon, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. We incorporate obedience, a little bit of fun agility (jumps and tunnel), and some trick training into all of our classes. We also offer puppy home start visits, home visits for training older dogs, and home visits for behaviour problems including aggression and separation distress.

A couple of videos of Freddie on his walk today. I'd say we are at about 80% loose lead now, which is great in my book! We stop often for sniff breaks to reward his concentration and to take in our surroundings. Progress (and fun!) not perfection.

3 of our lovely Outdoor Adventures group graduated yesterday!

Our Puppy classes start inside to help pups focus and learn without all the distractions of weather, people and the multitude of other objects and events in the 'real world'. Other pups, owners and a trainer are enough!

Once skills have been learnt we take our students outside, helping with tips and techniques for different scenarios, such as dogs loose in a park, walking past people and other dogs...all built around bond building and having fun!

Some nice calm behaviour around leaving the house.

If your walk starts with being dragged out of the door you are setting yourself up for chaos!

This exercise also helps with preventing darting out if you open the door.

We started with me inside with him and rewarding not going out the door. Then added the 'break' to cue to go out and built to me going outside without him.

Now adding some distance (me moving away) and then duration (staying away for longer), the distractions bring themselves as people walk past!

Distance, duration and distraction are known as the 3Ds in dog training. Each one increases the difficulty of a task, so only raise one at a time.

Off for chilly walk now! Have a good day all

A great loose lead session with the gorgeous Odin this morning. It all starts with focus and building the value of staying close..rewarding when they get it right rather than waiting for them to get it wrong!

We dont have young children at home so always good to expose Freddie to them in a safe way..lots here at Lotmead Farm today picking their pumpkins! Freddie coped really well, I made sure to give him space when needed it and lots of rewards for calmness. He was a big hit with the kiddies!
