Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly proud of the results I get with my clients and of every review they take the time to write.

Not because I need a pat on the back or an ego boost.

I’m proud because those reviews give struggling dog owners hope by showing the breadth of work we do. It gives potential clients an honest picture of what they can expect from Lancashire Dog Training.

They show where people started. The problems they were facing. How those problems affected everyday life. What they learned and, most importantly, what changed.

Allowing you to read through them, find people who were once in a similar position to you and decide whether we might be the right fit.

Knowing what you need and who you’re looking for makes the whole process so much easier.

Don’t be fooled by polished social media, carefully edited clips or follower counts. None of those things automatically make somebody the right trainer for you or your dog.

Do your due diligence.

Ask questions. Understand how they work. Read the reviews, not just the star rating, and listen to the people who have already stood where you’re standing now.

The right trainer won’t be the same for everyone.

Take the time to find the right one for you.

Whilst we are away it’s great to know how much fun my dogs are having.
Can’t recommend these kennels enough and I know some of you have used them already.

Meet Walt 🐾
Walt likes birds.

Actually, “likes” might be putting it mildly.

Given half a chance, he would chase them across fields, along beaches and probably into the next postcode. Once he had locked onto one, his owner’s voice simply couldn’t compete.

But Walt is also a lively dog who needs the freedom to run, explore and enjoy himself. Keeping him permanently attached to a lead might have prevented the chase, but it wouldn’t have solved the problem.

The answer wasn’t to remove his interest in birds. It was to give his owner the ability to interrupt it.

Now Walt can enjoy the beach and race through open fields. He still sees the birds. He still has that instinct. But when his owner calls, he turns away and comes straight back.

That is what reliable recall gives you.

Not a dog with no interests or instincts, but a dog who understands that when you call, listening isn’t optional.

Walt gets his freedom.

His owner gets confidence and control.

And the birds can breathe a collective sigh of relief. 🐦

Nine months old. Now dead.

Not because every option had been exhausted.
Not because every avenue had been explored.
Not because there was categorically nothing left that could be done.

A nine month old Malinois was described as being “no good with people.”

Another trainer was prepared to rearrange her life and take that dog on.

Before she got the chance, she received another phone call.

The dog was dead.

I want to make something very clear. I am not against behavioural euthanasia.

There are circumstances where a dog presents such a serious risk, or has such a poor quality of life, that euthanasia may ultimately be the responsible decision.

But for me, it should be the last decision.

After the options have been explored.
After different approaches have been considered.
After we have asked whether somebody else, with different experience, different methods or a different skillset, might be able to reach that dog.

Because ideology should never become more important than the animal standing in front of us.

You can disagree with the tools I use.
You can disagree with my methods.
You can disagree with me.

But if the choice is between temporarily making a dog uncomfortable during training and that dog losing its life, I know which conversation I am prepared to have.

Training should be about the dog. Not our egos. Not our labels. Not our ideology.

A nine month old dog will never get the opportunity to show what it might have become.

And that is f*cking heartbreaking.

Death should never be easier to accept than trying something different.

“He’s just aggressive” 🤦‍♂️ That’s often the label.

But labels don’t explain behaviour.

When Barney first came to me, walks were stressful for his owner. Passing another dog meant lunging and barking. Off lead wasn’t safe. If wildlife appeared, he was gone.

Fast forward to today.

Watch him calmly ignore another dog, even when that dog starts barking at him.

Watch him enjoy genuine freedom off lead.

And then watch what every owner dreams of…

A deer appears.

His owner calls once.

Barney immediately turns away from the distraction and comes straight back.

That isn’t luck.

It isn’t bribery.

And it certainly isn’t because Barney suddenly stopped being interested in deer.

It’s the result of clear communication, consistent training, and an owner who continued putting the work in long after the sessions finished.

The magic isn’t what happens during training.

It’s what happens afterwards.

Everyone has an opinion about e-collars.

Very few have lived this story.

George had already been through multiple homes. His owner had spent hundreds of pounds, worked with several trainers and been told the same thing over and over:

“He’ll never have reliable recall.”

For a breed driven by instinct, that sentence meant a lifetime on a lead.

Then they tried a different approach.

Not shortcuts.
Not punishment.
Not magic.

A training plan built around understanding the dog in front of them, using play to build engagement and introducing an e-collar correctly, fairly and responsibly.

Today, George walks off lead, checks in naturally and enjoys the freedom every dog deserves when it’s safe to do so.

This isn’t about forcing obedience.

It’s about giving a dog and their owner their life back.

The loudest opinions usually come from people who’ve never seen it done properly.

The people who have? Their dogs often tell the story better than they ever could.

What are your thoughts on e-collars? Have you seen responsible training change a dog’s life?
