Dogs have always played a massive part in my life and I have never been without one. I unfortunately had to put my 10 year old Giant Schnauzer “Xena” to rest 2 years ago due to a sudden illness. I have a Borador named “Hebe” which is already showing she will be a bundle of joy. We have just recently welcomed a 7 year old Giant Schnauzer to our family named "Luther" a lot of the work I do is working with not just the dog, but the owner too and that is simply because our own influence plays a big part in how a dog behaves. I also take into consideration the owner and dog and tailor behaviour modification programs that will best suit my clients that promotes a calm and well balanced dog.

🐾 An Update from Robinsons K9 Academy 🐾

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to all of my clients and followers for the delays in replying to messages, enquiries and bookings over the last few weeks.

Alongside running Robinsons K9 Academy, I have been balancing my commitments with work and training for several fundraising running events throughout the year. This weekend I successfully completed The Wall Ultra Marathon, covering an incredible 70 miles from Carlisle to Newcastle in 19 hours and 37 minutes.

It was one of the toughest physical and mental challenges I've ever faced, but it reminded me that with patience, consistency and determination, amazing things can be achieved – values that I also bring into every dog training session.

As many of you know, I am raising money throughout 2026 for four fantastic charities:

❤️ Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND)
❤️ Cancer Research UK
❤️ Asthma + Lung UK
❤️ Combat Stress

If anyone wishes to support these amazing charities, the sponsorship link can be found in the comments below. Every donation, no matter how small, is hugely appreciated and will help make a real difference.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding and continued support of Robinsons K9 Academy. I will be working through messages and enquiries as quickly as possible and look forward to helping more owners build stronger relationships with their dogs.

🐾 Thor came down from Catterick yesterday and delivered BIG 💪🔥

Powerful German Shepherd, loads of drive and just needed direction 👌

👉 Pulled like a train
👉 Reacted more when the baby was present
👉 Struggled to switch off around other dogs

Fast forward one session…

🔥 Better focus
🔥 Calmer mindset
🔥 Clearer communication
🔥 Owners back in control

💥 Best bit? Woke up today to a video of Thor out with the family moving calmly around other dogs… no drama, no chaos 👏

That’s what it’s about — giving dogs clarity and owners confidence 💯

🚨 Also buzzing for next week… We’ve got Jade Moore joining Robinsons K9 Academy for some work experience 👏 She’s coming in to learn how real-world training works — not just theory, but how to read dogs, coach owners and build results that actually last.

Great opportunity and looking forward to having her on board 💪

Top work from the family 👌

📩 If your dog’s pulling your arm off or kicking off around distractions… message me.

Let’s fix it 🐕‍🦺

🐣 Happy Easter. 🐣

❤️ Love and Peace.❤️

🥳🐾 Different Dogs, different reasons. same process and same progress. 🐾

Today we had sessions with Milo the Labrador and Lola the Border Collie, two brilliant dogs who came to me for very different reasons.

💥 Milo, absolute firecracker on the lead. Pulling constantly, making every walk feel like a full body workout instead of something enjoyable. On top of that, he’s been struggling with getting into the car boot.

Today? we saw a small breakthrough with the boot work 👏

But that’s the thing progress isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s one extra second of confidence, one calmer decision, one less pull on the lead. That’s how real training works.

🎥 Second video posted in comments is Lola:

Lola had developed a habit of spinning in circles on the lead and nearly dragging her owners towards the road. This behaviour had been going on for some time, and understandably it had become stressful for everyone involved.

Today we focused on:

✅️ Slowing everything down
✅️ Building clarity
✅️ Reinforcing calm choices

Training isn’t about “stopping” behaviour. It’s about teaching a better one. What I absolutely love is working with owners who give 100% and trust the process. 🙌 Because it is a process.

💯 Not a quick fix.
💯️ Not a magic wand.
💯️ Not one session and done.

✅️ It’s consistency.
✅️ It’s timing.
✅️ It’s communication.
✅️ It’s leadership without force.

Watching how both dogs were today compared to where they started? That’s exactly why I love doing what I do.

When owners commit, dogs change. When dogs gain clarity, confidence grows. When confidence grows, behaviour improves.

🔥 Proud of both of these teams today 👏🐾

🧨 Onwards and upwards.

❤️ Love and Peace ❤️

🚨 GROOMERS UPDATE 🚨

🔥 Vito has just returned from the groomers and I swear he’s lost about 3 stone of fur 💈✂️😂

💯 I dropped off a shaggy mountain bear and I’ve picked up a lean, aerodynamic athlete 🐻➡️🐕‍🦺

👌 Pretty sure the groomer filled a couple of bin bags and knitted a spare dog on the side 🧶🤣

🙌 He’s now running around the house like he’s unlocked +10 speed and -15 fluff 🏃‍♂️💨

🧨 Fresh trim, fresh fade and a fresh attitude.

💪 Still thinks he’s hard though 😎🐾

😅 Someone tell him summer body season isn’t until June 💪😂

🔥 Thank you to Laura at The Hut Dog Grooming in Boroughbridge

🥳🐾 Welcome Lola! 🐾🥳

🥳 Big welcome to Lola, a 4 year old Border Collie who’s officially joined Robinsons K9 Academy 💪🐶

Now… quick game 😏

👉 Can you guess what Lola has come to see me for?

💯 Yep, you guessed it, chasing traffic 🚗💨

Classic Collie behaviour.

🧠 Why do Border Collies do this?

Border Collies are bred to control movement. Cars move fast, appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly, which lights up that herding brain like a Christmas tree 🎄

Chasing becomes self-rewarding, adrenaline kicks in and before you know it, we’ve got a habit that feels impossible to switch off.

The good news?

With the right structure, management and training that instinct can be redirected, not suppressed. We don’t fight the Collie brain, we work with it 😉

That’s it for today’s fun and games 👊

📍 First stop: Peach and her very first puppy session 🐶

📍 Then: Off to Milo for some 1-1 training around Boroughbridge

📍 Finished strong: With the lovely Lola 💙

Busy days, happy dogs and proper progress.

❤️ Love and Peace. ❤️

🐕‍🦺 Robinsons K9 Academy – Real Dogs, real training and real progress. 🐾

💪 At Robinsons K9 Academy, we don’t chase perfection. We build progress that actually lasts.

🔥 Dog training isn’t about controlling your dog, it’s about understanding them, guiding them and setting them up to succeed in the real world.

That looks like:
✅️ Loose lead walking that improves week by week
✅️ Reactivity worked through calmly, not suppressed
✅️Confidence built through engagement, not force
✅️ Owners learning why things work, not just what to do

💯 Some days are smooth, some days are chaos. Both are part of the journey.

🧨 If you’re showing up, staying consistent and putting the work in, you’re doing it right 💪🐾

✋️ This is dog training for real life.

🐾 No gimmicks, no shortcuts, just solid foundations.

👇 Drop a comment if you’re proud of how far your dog has come already.
