My next ‘good dog’ classes are starting in August and some spaces have already been reserved 😵

Do you want a well behaved dog that people look at and go “oh aren’t they good!” but don’t have the time or understanding to do it all on your own? Want to learn basic skills well like recall or loose lead? Work full time and don’t want to pay a behaviourist for 1:1 sessions?

These classes are 1 hour every week for 6 weeks and you can learn how to train your dog to be a certified Good Dog! It’s £100 for the full 6 weeks (which is 6 hours worth of time with a degree level qualified behaviourist and dog trainer 🐾)

I have helped many owners with their dogs and hope to help more with this accessible, cheap course for any dog owner 🐕

WHEN & WHERE:
KENDAL-Hallgarth Community Centre, Every Thursday from August 7th 6-7pm

CHASE INSTINCT IN DOGS 🐕🦌

Does your dog bolt after squirrels, deer, or birds the second they spot movement? That urge to chase is deeply rooted in their DNA. 🧬 As descendants of predators, dogs have a powerful instinct to pursue moving animals—it’s natural, but it can also be dangerous.

Unchecked, this behavior can lead to lost dogs, injured wildlife, and serious accidents. It can also create stress and frustration in both dogs and their humans. But don’t worry—this instinct can be managed with the right approach.

✅ What helps? Channeling that drive into structured play and consistent training. Think: flirt poles, recall games, scent work, and impulse control exercises.

🔑 TOP TIPS:
• Train a solid recall—a reliable “come” can be a lifesaver
• Use long lines in open areas while training
• Practice “Leave it” and “Watch me” to redirect focus
• Provide structured outlets like fetch, chase games, and enrichment toys
• Avoid punishment—work with your dog’s instincts, not against them

Help your dog succeed by setting them up with boundaries, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. 🐾

Follow for more dog training tips that build trust, focus, and a safer outdoor life!
