Each session I have is planned ahead to get the most from the student and the dog. Today I wanted to highlight one of these students (Julie and Dexter), who have come a long way in a short time. They are showing an amazing amount of commitment to each other, this video was filmed in their last session we had. We did a lot.

I just wanted to welcome Divya and Nenah (the Dog) to our training family. Today's video stars Nenah, a Cain Corso; Buddy, a German Shepherd; Marley; and Damon, all learning obedience and agility. Dog and Handler are building their confidence together, creating a strong bond and trust. All are using positive training techniques and having a tremendous amount of fun.

I wanted to share some of the fun we have with the dogs that train with us. We got Pip the Pom, who is just starting to learn obedience, and Buddy the German Shepherd, learning the ropes to Agility with start-line stays. We have Dexter the border collie learning Flygility and Agility. Then we have Luna also learning Flygility and Agility.

🌧️ Rainy Day Competitions & Overnight Camping? Don’t Forget Your Shoe Dryer! 🏕️👟

If you've ever had to run in the ring after a night of camping in the rain, you know the struggle of pulling on cold, wet, smelly shoes first thing in the morning. Not fun—and definitely not ideal for performance or comfort.

That’s where a shoe dryer with UV sanitization becomes a total game-changer!

✨ Why You Need a Shoe Dryer at Every Competition:

✅ Dry Shoes = Better Performance:
There’s nothing like slipping your feet into warm, dry shoes before hitting the ring. No soggy socks, no blisters, no slipping around inside your footwear. Just clean, confident steps and better control during your run.

🔥 Warmth & Comfort Before Your Run:
After a chilly night in the camper or hotel room, putting on damp shoes is miserable. A good shoe dryer warms your shoes just enough to make them cozy, so you’re ready to perform at your best—physically and mentally.

🧼 UV Light Fights Bacteria & Odors:
Shoes are a breeding ground for bacteria, especially when they’re damp. The UV-C light function on quality shoe dryers helps kill odor-causing bacteria and fungi overnight—so your shoes smell fresh and stay hygienic, even after days on the road.

💡 Perfect for Multi-Day Events & Camping Trips:
Whether you're competing over multiple days, camping with your dog team, or staying in a less-than-ideal hotel room, a compact shoe dryer is one of those small items that makes a huge difference in your overall comfort and preparedness.

📦 Pro Tip: Most shoe dryers are lightweight and easy to pack—don’t leave home without it!

So next time you’re gearing up for a rainy competition weekend or heading out camping with your pups, don’t forget to bring your shoe dryer. Trust me, your future self (and your nose) will thank you. 😄

🧠🐾 Before you lose your cool with your young dog... please read this.

That 6-month-old pup ignoring your command or pulling on the lead?
Mentally, they’re like a 3-year-old child.

Next time you feel like yelling or punishing—ask yourself:
Would I react the same way if a toddler made a mess or scribbled on the wall?

Dogs aren't being naughty—they're still learning how our world works.
They need guidance, not guilt. Patience, not punishment.

At Dog Training with Earle, we believe in training with empathy, understanding your dog’s emotional and mental age, and building trust every step of the way.

Let’s raise dogs the way we’d want kids to be raised—with fairness, structure, and love. 💛

🎆 Help Your Dog Stay Calm This Fireworks Season 🎆

Fireworks can be terrifying for many dogs—but with a little preparation, we can help them feel more at ease by November 5th.

💡 How? Gradual Desensitisation Using Sound Training

Start now by using recorded audio of fireworks at a very low volume during positive activities like training, feeding, or playtime. Your goal is to create a positive association with the noise. The sounds can be played from youtube, Spotify, etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNlmw8745U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDifKXEn3lU

📈 Steps to Follow:

Play fireworks sounds at a low volume while your dog is relaxed or enjoying something fun (like treats or obedience training).

Keep sessions short and positive—a few minutes is plenty at first.

Repeat this daily, slowly increasing the volume over several weeks—only if your dog remains calm and happy.

If your dog shows signs of stress (panting, pacing, yawning, leaving the area), turn the volume back down and try again later.

By the time Guy Fawkes Night arrives, your dog will hopefully be far more accustomed to the sound, and less likely to panic. Just take your time in increasing the volume

🚫 What not to do:
Avoid fussing, cuddling, or saying “It’s OK” in a worried voice. As kind as it feels, this accidentally reinforces fear—it tells your dog, “Yes, there really is something scary happening.”
Instead, act relaxed and cheerful, and reward calm behaviour. Let your dog take their cue from your confidence.

🧠 Why it works: This is called systematic desensitisation—gradually exposing your dog to a scary stimulus in a safe, controlled way helps them learn it’s nothing to fear.

🐶 Consistency is key! Start now and build up slowly—your dog will thank you for it 💙

Today we continued training Weaves and front crosses with Karen and Damon., This time, we added the weaves into the sequence, and Damon loved them

20/06/2025

Today was fun as we got the ball box out to do some flygility and build up some confidence in the dog going away from the owner.

I have several Padawans working on their Weave training. Some say weave training is one of the hardest things to learn. It does vary depending on the dogs and the handler. This is Karen and Damon, who are new to agility. They have now successfully done a straight six with lateral distance from the dog. On both sides
Well done
