Una had a 1-2-1 at our outdoor venue in Denmead to help with her walking on lead skills. What a superstar she was, too. With clear and easy-to-understand feedback from her handler, she quickly went from "resistance training" mode to walking in unison. 🐶🎓

Here's some cuddly, furry, ‘pawsitive’ wisdom! 🐾

If you've just welcomed a tiny canine into your family, remember the importance of socialising them. It’s not just about making them a ‘friendlister’ on the doggy network, or setting pawty goals! 🐶🎈

It's all about exposing them to different places, people, other animals and experiences at a pace that suits their current level and character. It ensures they grow into well-behaved, adventurous, and expressive companions. 😄

So go ahead, step up their socialising game – set up suitable playdates, or take them on neighbourhood walks, let your pup meet, greet and tweet! Okay, maybe not the tweeting part, human; you got that! 🤣 After all, a confident social pup is a happy pup! 🎉

Finding the sweet spot in canine training requires not the rigidity of an old oak tree but instead the flexibility of a willow in the wind! 🌳🍃

Each dog is an individual with unique traits, skills, and learning pace. The journey is scattered with beautiful moments of progress, tiny victories, and occasional setbacks. But isn't that what growth is all about?🐾💖

Remember, patience is key, but so is adaptability. Let's keep sharing tips, encouragement, and love for our faithful companions. After all, we are not just training them; they are teaching us too. Woof you all! 🐶💙

Ollie was with us to help improve his loose lead walking skills.

A walk with a tight lead is no fun for both handler and dog. It causes stress and can result in unwanted behaviours being displayed.

Why attend dog training classes? 🐾

Dog training is much more than teaching your dog different tricks; it's about teaching them self-control and manners, behaviours that will keep them safe and happy.

Training classes provide a structured setting where your furry buddies can learn and socialise with others, building their confidence and understanding of the world. This is also great for forging a stronger bond between you and your dogs, giving you better communication and understanding of their behaviour 🐕👏🏽.

It makes daily tasks simpler - like walking without pulling, greeting guests without jumping, and behaving when other dogs are around. Not only do these classes positively influence our dogs, but also improve the overall well-being of our homes and neighbourhood.

So, if you've brought a new rescue dog into your home, or if you're struggling to maintain harmony with your existing one, consider enrolling in dog training classes.

This investment will reap outstanding returns in behaviour, well-being, and love. 🙌💕

Always remember, a well-trained dog is a happy dog that understands the world around them.

Our Story

Modern dog training using Non-Averse methods. These are reliable and motivational giving long term benefits to the dog and human sides of the relationship. Promoting and building the special bond between you and your dog. Empowering them to cope with everyday life. These methods are tried and tested by myself as well as many world renowned dog trainers. They are being successfully used to help with basic training as well as difficult aggression cases. I am an assessed member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers UK. Working within their code of practice. I am also an assessed full member of the IMDT Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, Scentwork trainer for both UK College of Scent Dogs and Scentwork UK and registered with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council.

Using these up to date methods, i will show you how to understand and teach your dog new behaviours. The clicker is a great tool for training your dog. It can be used by all the family and gives consistency for your dog to easily understand. I take part in regular seminars and workshops to make sure the methods being used are up to date. Any tools or training aids used in Modern dog training should be the least intrusive option available and not be designed to be physically aversive or physiologically aversive to stop unwanted behaviours. Training Tools I use include : �Flat Collars �Body Harnesses �Leads �Long Lines �Whistle �Food �Toys Outdated Aversive Tools I won't use: �Choke/Check Collar and Chain �Prong/Pinch Collar �Shock/Electric Collar �Spray Collar �Rattle Can/Training Disks �Spray Bottles �Alpha/Pack Leader based theories
