🐾 5 YEARS OF SIT-N-PAWS! 🐾

Five years ago today, I took a huge leap of faith. After 17 years working in Local Authority, I left my career behind and made the decision to run Sit-n-Paws full time. And what a journey these last five years have been!

I have had the privilege of training so many wonderful puppies and dogs, meeting some truly amazing people along the way, and even mentoring people who have gone on to become qualified dog trainers in their own right, something I’m incredibly proud of.

Sit-n-Paws has continued to grow too. I now run my Life Skills Courses at both Upchurch and Jeskyns Community Woodland - Forestry England, helping even more owners build happy, confident relationships with their dogs.

When I look back at where I started, I feel incredibly proud of the business I have built from nothing. But none of it would have been possible without my clients.

Thank you to every single person who has chosen to train with Sit-n-Paws over the last five years. Thank you for trusting me with your puppies and dogs, for recommending me to others, for every review you have taken the time to leave and for all your feedback over the years. Your feedback has helped me develop and shape my classes into what they are today. Seeing dogs and their owners grow in confidence together is still the reason I love what I do.

I also want to thank all of my wonderful family for their support, encouragement and their faith in me of turning Sit-n-Paws from a dream into a reality.

Here’s to 5 years of Sit-n-Paws, all the dogs and people who have been part of the journey so far, and hopefully many more years to come. 🥂🐶🐾

Thank you all for being part of it. ❤️

🐾 A MASSIVE THANK YOU & A HUGE WELL DONE! 🐾

A massive thank you to everyone who visited Jeskyns Community Woodland - Forestry England
this morning between 10:15 and 11:15 and helped us put our adolescent Life Skills dogs to the test!

Today, we took our training out into the real world and used everyday situations as distractions. After all, we want our dogs to be able to put their training into practice in the real world and not just in a training field!

You may have spotted the dogs practising their sit and wait outside the training area while people, children, dogs, scooters, prams and bicycles passed by on their way into the country park. You may also have seen the dogs walking along the path between the car park and the café, practising their loose lead walking with all those extra distractions around them. And they absolutely smashed it! 🙌

A HUGE well done to Blu, Walter, Louie, Darcy, Pepper & Skye I am SO incredibly proud of every single one of you.

Watching these dogs learn, develop and become more confident in the real world is exactly why I love what I do.

Real-life skills, real-life distractions and real-life progress!

🎓 Would you like to join our next Life Skills Course?

If you would like to find out more about our courses and how we can help you and your dog develop those all-important life skills, please email me directly at [email protected].

I look forward to hearing from you! 🐾

Have you got a new puppy aged 6 months or under? Let’s give them the best start possible.

Those early months are so important, and puppy training is about much more than teaching your dog to sit.

WHAT WILL YOU AND YOUR PUPPY LEARN?

🐾 Responding to their name and making eye contact
🐾 Recall and coming back when called
🐾 Walking nicely on the lead
🐾 Learning to settle and relax
🐾 Impulse control and patience
🐾 Building confidence through positive experiences
🐾 Practical skills for everyday life

We will also be working towards the IMDT Puppy Gradings, helping you recognise your puppy’s progress along the way.

TRAINING LOCATION: UPCHURCH ORCHARD.
Training is outside in our beautiful orchard in Upchurch or our training area at Jeskyns, where you and your puppy can learn together in a friendly, supportive environment using kind, science backed training methods.

Wow, what a day it was today it was today training at Jeskyns Community Woodland - Forestry England

We had Puppy Life Skills. Our puppies covered Sitting and waiting, walking nicely on the lead and a laydown.

Next we had Adolescent Life Skills, where dogs where learning to sit & wait with distractions. If you were passing by you would have seen us doing head shoulders, knees and toes 😂, we also covered leave it, and walking nicely.

Next we had our CK9’s follow on class where the participants started work on their IMDT Grade 1. Where we worked hard on impulse control with the dogs sityinh and waiting for 20 seconds next to some cones. Laying and waiting for 10 seconds then working the dogs teally hard expecting them to stay sitting while the owners walked away from their dogs, while throwing a ball in the air and catching it 😳 and teaching an automatic sit.

Finally was the Loose Lead Walking Workshop where dogs were learning how to walk on the lead without pulling. We worked on eye contact and walking step by step.

To top it all off Buddy a former client came to see me and then the sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon.

What an amazing Sunday doing what I love best… working with dogs.

Did you see us training at Jeskyns? If so give us a 👍

DO YOU HAVE DOG-WALKING ENVY?

You know the ones…

The dogs who stroll along nicely beside their owners, barely a care in the world. Meanwhile, your dog is a YANKER…
Pulling you forwards,
Zig-zagging from side to side,
Heading wherever THEY fancy,
And making you feel like your arm is about to be pulled out of its socket!
Perhaps you even dread taking your dog for a walk because you feel like everyone is watching and judging you.

If this sounds familiar, you are definitely not alone.

And I know because I have been there too!

My own dog wasn't magically perfect on the lead. It took training classes, lots of short practice sessions and plenty of patience, but gradually, things changed.

He still isn't perfect, and I don't expect him to be. But our walks are now far more enjoyable than they are tolerable! And that's exactly what I want to help you achieve.

THE 5-WEEK LOOSE LEAD WALKING WORKSHOP

We are going right back to basics and looking at why dogs pull in the first place, rather than simply trying to stop them pulling.

Over the 5 weeks we will look at:
• How your equipment can affect your walks
• How the human at the other end of the lead can affect the walk
• How the whole routine of getting ready to leave can influence how your dog feels
• Teaching your dog to match your pace
• Teaching them that checking in and looking at you pays
• Helping your dog understand where we want them to walk
• Building better walking habits through practical exercises and repetition

Because loose lead walking isn't about making your dog walk like a little robot. It's about helping your dog understand what we want them to do, teaching them the skills to do it, and making walking together more enjoyable for both of you.

Our Workshops are at:
📍 UPCHURCH
Saturday 19th September
🕙 10.15am – 11.15am

📍 JESKYNS COMMUNITY WOODLANDS
Sunday 20th September
🕧 12.45pm – 1.45pm

5 weeks of practical training to help turn those frustrating walks into more enjoyable ones.
