It’s not just about teaching a dog to walk nicely or to have good recall🐾

When I first started working with Woody, he had no reliable recall and walking on lead was a real challenge.

So rather than simply trying to train a behaviour we looked at the bigger picture.

🌿 Change the environment
❤️ Change the emotional experience
🎓 Then teach the behaviour

That means creating situations where Woody can feel successful, building connection and confidence, and then teaching the skills we want him to use.

And that’s where the training really comes in.

Recall. Loose lead walking. Focus. Engagement. Calmness.

We build these skills gradually, at the dog’s pace, while making sure training is something they actually enjoy.

We always end on something enriching for him. It’s fun for Woody, but it also gives him an outlet for those natural Labrador retrieving and searching behaviours.

For me, dog training isn’t about making a dog look “perfect”.

It’s about helping the dog feel better, giving them skills they can actually use, and building a relationship where they want to work with you. ❤️

We are training the whole dog — not just the behaviour.

🐾 Maple’s Day with Debs 🐾

Maple has had a lovely day today! 💕

We’ve enjoyed some time out exploring and having a good sniff around, followed by a little water fun to cool off and, of course, some enrichment when we got home. 💦🌿🐶

dogs love a mixture of movement, sniffing, exploring and brain work throughout their day. It’s not just about keeping busy — it’s about giving them opportunities to make choices, investigate their environment and enjoy being a dog. 🥰

Maple has been such a lovely little companion today, we have enjoyed every minute. ❤️

A happy, enriched dog makes for a very happy day! 🐾

☀️ you’re enjoying the hot sunshine but it doesn’t mean it’s safe for your dog.
Dogs can overheat in minutes — and heatstroke can turn deadly fast. 🐾

Before you head out for that walk, check the temperature, test the pavement, and make sure your dog stays cool, shaded, and hydrated. 💧🐶

A little extra care on hot days can save a life. ❤️
