Yesterday, I had the real pleasure of presenting to a room full of fantastic trainers from Hearing Dogs.
The session focused on recall, engagement, and working with high-drive dogs. We shared ideas, reflected on practical approaches, and looked at how we can help dogs stay connected while still recognising their natural motivation and drive.
It was a brilliant afternoon, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for inviting me ☺️

This week I had the pleasure of working with the very handsome Dougie, a German Shepherd x Caucasian Shepherd.

Dougie has been struggling with a few parts of daily life, so I’m working with his lovely guardians to help make things feel calmer and more manageable for everyone.

As a CAB, I always look beyond the behaviour itself and consider the whole dog. That means looking at the bigger picture, which may include things like health, comfort, early experiences, environment, learning history, breed traits, routine and emotional wellbeing.

It is easy to see behaviour and quickly place it into a “good” or “bad” box, but dogs are more complex than that. Behaviour is communication, information and a reflection of how the dog is coping in that moment. When we understand that bigger picture, we can help in a way that is kinder, clearer and more effective.

Dougie has a great team around him, and I’m looking forward to supporting them on the next part of their journey.

If your dog is struggling and you’re not sure where to start, please get in touch. Support is available.

"There have been huge strides in positive reinforcement training over the last decade. While celebrating those changes, it’s also frustrating that there are still dog trainers who take people’s money to use aversive methods to train their dog. This despite the fact that aversives aren’t necessary and have some rather serious downsides".https://www.companionanimalpsychology.com/2026/05/the-education-of-positive-dog-trainers.html?utm_source=convertkit&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The%20education%20of%20positive%20dog%20trainers%20(and%20why%20balanced%20trainers%20should%20get%20on%20board)%20-%2021678228
