This is the very fabulous Bernie and he would like you to know he's very proud of himself after earning his Silver Award today in our Sprotbrough Puppy Foundation class.

This hard-working little guy sat so nicely for his picture and is a model student who loves working for food and so is having the best time in class as that's all we ask of him.

Congratulations Bernie and thanks as always to his lovely owner for all her hard work too! 🥳

Has anyone ever suggested a dog training method to you that made you feel a bit icky? That made you worry about what it might do to your relationship with your dog?

You're not alone. There's so much bad advice out there and the reasoning along with it is often persuasive.

🐾 "It's always worked for me"

🐾 "I've had dogs for decades"

🐾 "It doesn't hurt the dog even though it looks like it does"

🐾 "You've got to be the alpha... the leader"

🐾 "It's quicker this way"

I mean who doesn't want quick control of a problem? Many dog owners run up against obstacles like this and end up making their problems worse, or just create new, different ones.

Here's our promise to you. We can help you find a new way!

We don't judge. We support.

We understand it's not easy. We just want to help. Whether you try one of our classes or book in for one to one training, we promise that we'll show you how to work with your dog to get the best outcome for both of you so everyone is happy!

You're safe with us!

One thing we don't talk about enough, even though most of you guys already know this about us, is that we will never ask you to do anything to your dog that might cause them pain, discomfort, fear or harm in the name of training.

We're members of the Pet Professional Guild, which comes with it membership of the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter. This likely doesn't mean much to you, but it is something we're immensely proud of. 🥰

This membership comes with a strict ethics policy that we're absolutely proud to follow in our own training, and with your dogs. To stay as members, we're bound by this ethics charter and have to maintain a high level of professional development through ongoing learning every year.

This means we don't rely on old, inefficient or potentially harmful methods just because they've 'always worked'. We will always use the methods that are best for the dog.

An important distinction here is that best for the dog means applying the highest standards of animal welfare to our training, not just doing what gets the fastest results or is easiest for the human if that means hurting the dog. We want lasting results to high welfare standards.

So for those who would prefer to use choke collars, shock collars or prong collars, or any other harmful training method just for convenience and quick, but temporary results, then we're not the trainers for you.

Everyone else is welcome here! Join the club! 🥳💃

With Halloween around the corner, it's time for some tips to keep your dog safe and comfortable! If we're having fun and enjoying the night, they should be able to as well 👻

🎃 Plan your walks around the times that trick or treaters are out and about.
Avoid over-stimulation and unnecessary scares for your dog by keeping them away from all the hoardes of costumed trick or treaters in the streets.

🎃 Manage your dog carefully around people in costume by keeping them on lead or putting them away in a safe place. Dogs can be unsettled by people in costumes and can react in ways they wouldn't normally. Scared dogs and startled dogs can bite or lunge unexpectedly, so be aware of this when wearing costumes around your dog, or inviting over visitors in costumes.

🎃 Keep halloween treats out of reach of dogs. Most people already know that chocolate is dangerous for dogs but there is also a sweetener called Xylitol often used in sweets and chews (as well as chewing gum and bubble gum) which is very toxic if ingested by dogs.

🎃 Make sure your dog enjoys wearing costumes before dressing them up. Not all dogs will happily wear clothing and things on their heads. It is possible to teach this as a trick, but acclimatising your dog can take a while before they are comfortable. Look out for flattened/pulled back ears, whale eye (seeing the whites of the dogs eyes clearly), lowered head, tucked tail, unusual movement or stillness/stiffness. Your dog may also attempt to avoid you if they don't like the costume. These are all signs your dog is not comfortable with the situation.

Dreading the fireworks? Now is a good time to start desensitising your dog to the sound to help them cope a bit better when the big bangs start.

An easy way to do this is to play the sounds of fireworks through a speaker at a very low volume whilst your dog is engaged in something they really enjoy, such as chasing food or snuffling. Then over a number of sessions, slowly increasing the volume within their comfort levels until they don't worry about it so much.

Not sure if you can make this work on your own? Get in touch to find out how you can get one to one support in your own home for this.

We've made the decision to close our Sprotbrough classes on Friday 6th November due to the high risk of there being a lot of fireworks going on. As always, your dog's welfare takes priority over profit for us, and whilst we know some dogs won't mind, we don't want to expose your pups to scary things unnecessarily.

Bookings made for that evening have been moved to a different date, so if you were booked on, please check your emails!

Well done to all of the bestest boys and girls on our Bentley Pack Walk and Train session.

We practised a bit of ignoring other dogs, a lot of calm focus, a bit of parking, some polite greetings for an over excited dog and some confidence building for a couple of nervous dogs. Buddy also got to have a little walk with Dove and practise his settling near the group.

You were all amazing!
