Adult and puppy classes starting in 4 weeks time guys ☺️ now is the time to do some training just before summer ☀️

Have you recently got a puppy and need to socialize them? Having trouble with some training with your older dog? Then please get in touch and I can help ☺️

Our puppy class will give you all the essential information you need going forward with your puppy that you can fulfill its needs fully and happily 🐾

Our adult class will focus a lot on refining the basics, getting better recall, and building much bigger bond between you and your dog that going forward your dog will put a lot more trust in you than you originally thought 🐾

These classes are unfortunately not for reactive dogs as it would be very over stimulating for them, so if you have a reactive dog please get in touch and we can do 1-1 training instead, which will be much more of a benefit for them ☺️🐾

Finally please get in touch with myself to book either of these classes through Instagram message, Facebook messenger or my WhatsApp ☺️🐾

Thank you all again for your continued support 🤟🏻🐾☀️

Another wonderful morning training Áine the German Shephard.
She is now 14 weeks old and socializing is key for her right now.
Socializing isn’t all about meeting loads of dogs and people, it’s becoming neutral in these situations and that’s why I use my dog Riley to help with this as she is oblivious to dogs.
The aim here was for Áine to understand Riley doesn’t want to play or interact but they can be in the same vicinity as eachother and the owners become number 1 instead.

Áine did absolutely perfect, Riley gave her a few little corrections to stay away and little Áine did brilliant. Understanding dog body language can be a huge help to you and your dog in these situations.

If you have a puppy who needs socializing please give me a call and I can help.

Even when your given a rough start in life, resilience is everything.

With the right people around you can accomplish anything 🤟🏻

The family brought me in to help them navigate Áine’s new world 🙏🏻

Áine the German Shephard puppy is amazing for wht she’s been through already, 9 weeks old, rescued and found with her brother and mother has been given a wonderful and loving home.

The people that dump dogs need a harsher reprimand. Love care and kindness is what all dogs deserve. DO BETTER!!!

Thank you again everyone for your continued support 🙏🏻☺️

This is a little demonstration on your marker words when taught correctly, self control, engaging in play and knowing when to stop and also keeping motivation.

No need for fancy captions here, just have a read and watch the video ☺️.

At the start you can see I release them into play with me with a Yes, then my Stop is stop what your doing, I throw away the rope and go back into training again, this keeps your dog motivated by building in playtime along with your training.

I’ve then put both of them in a down and told them to wait while I place a reward on the ground, I wait for eye contact before releasing them for their reward.

All of this can be achieved with consistency and breaking down piece by piece so they can learn.

Remember we learn a lot quicker so being consistent and understand can be a big help when teaching your dog something. Take your time, have patience and it will come, if you ever feel frustrated go away and have a cuppa and come back and try again 🙏🏻☺️🐾

Hello all ☺️
Something I quickly want to touch on that has happened myself and a client recently and more than once is the general public trying to pet or get the attention of a service dog or assistance dog in training.

Before anyone says we’re not allowed in there places with dogs, myself and my client have full permission from the owners of these establishments to train in their facilities.

Our last session I had to ask a man 3 times to please back away from the dog he is training and the man came forward and persisted to run the dog, defeating the purpose of our training. Also the dog is wearing harness that says do net pet on one side and assistance dog on the other and also says assistance dog all up the lead.

Please 🙏🏻 if you see a dog who is working or in training please do not come near them or try and rub them or even try get their attention with a whistle, it’s hurts the training going on.

All people with assistance dogs or service dogs would appreciate this and I shouldn’t have to reiterate this.

Thank you 😊

I just want to commend this wonderful dog Jasper and his family, I’ve been working with Jasper for almost 6 months now since he was a puppy and we are training him to be a support dog.

Since he was brought home he has shown nothing but devotion, love, care and support to this family’s wonderful daughter.

I hope they don’t mind me saying but before the daughter was in a very tough place and I also know what it’s like to be in that place but this boy Jasper is doing an absolutely wonderful job.

He knows when he’s allowed be a puppy and he knows when he is needed and called into action. At only 6 months old also he is showing this family everyday that he is the dog for them.

And last but not least thank you for choosing me to guide you in and around this delicate task, love you guys 🐾❤️

A good relationship with your dog is the basis to all training aspects, you can’t expect your dog to listen to you if they don’t trust you.

Build your relationship first and reap the reward after ☺️🐾

My two get the exact same walk pretty much everyday, sometimes 1hr sometimes 2hrs, but in that time they do whatever they want, they only time I put them to work on that walk is scattering their food in the trees, other than that they dictate everything because it’s there time.

Remember to give your dogs time to sniff and understand what’s around them so they may enjoy themselves. An enriched dog is a tired one ☝️

Hello everyone and welcome to 2025, sorry I haven’t been on here much lately as myself and my wife have had a tough time lately with the loss of a very close family member ❤️

I’m am looking forward to training new and present clients this year and see where you can get to in your training 🐾

My biggest focus as always will be building a solid and trusting relationship between you and your dog as this is the basis to all training aspects.

Thank you again everyone for the support through the holidays and will look forward to getting back to training ☺️🐾

I advise everyone to read the comments here and just look at how uneducated people are.

Restricted breeds this restricted breeds that, respect goes both ways and letting your small little dog with no recall run up to a restricted breed to on a lead on a muzzle and under effectual control is that owners fault then you are delusional.

My park is for all dogs and all owners to use for yourselves, it’s these types of parks up in cork that are ruining it for the educated owners.
