When Rolo first came to me, his owner had the same concerns many people do when they hear the words prong collar or e-collar.

Like most owners, she wanted the very best for her dog and wasn’t sure whether these tools were something she felt comfortable with.

Fast forward to today, and her perspective has completely changed.

Through proper guidance, clear communication, consistent training, and using the right tools alongside play-based training, Rolo is now a much happier dog to live with and a far more enjoyable dog to walk.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that these tools are a “forever solution”.

They’re not.

The goal has always been to teach the dog, build understanding, and create reliable behaviours. For many owners, as training progresses and consistency increases, the reliance on training tools naturally reduces.

I would never ask anyone to blindly accept something they’re uncomfortable with. i simply ask that people keep an open mind, ask questions, and judge based on results, education, and the welfare of the dog in front of them.

Rolo’s owner did exactly that.

The result? A more fulfilled dog, a more confident owner, and a much better quality of life for both.

Pippa came to me at 18 months old with a habit of barking and lunging at dogs and people. This had been going on for months and, like many owners, her family had tried various ways of managing it.

One thing you’ll notice is that I don’t usually tackle the problem behaviour head on unless it’s dangerous. Instead, I focus on what sits underneath it.

We got Pippa playing.

We got her thinking.

We built trust, rapport, confidence and authority.

We gave her clear communication and required compliance.

As often happens, once the dog starts to feel free, engaged and understands what’s expected, the unwanted behaviours begin to fade away.

In just 3 short sessions we’ve come a long way.

The Halti she used to hide from has gone, and she’s now working comfortably on a prong collar. The difference in her mindset and behaviour has been huge.

We’re not finished yet, but she’s already passing people and dogs calmly, and before long we’ll have the off lead reliability to match.

The best bit?

Watching her enjoy life again, running freely and playing with a new friend.

It’s never about suppressing behaviour.

It’s about changing the dog’s view behind it.

A reliable drop command isn’t a trick. It’s a safety behaviour.

Dogs don’t know a chicken bone is dangerous. They only know it smells and tastes fantastic. If your dog won’t willingly comply when asked to drop something potentially harmful, you’re relying on luck.

Personally, I would use negative reinforcement to teach this behaviour. In situations like this, offering a few processed treats often isn’t enough to compete with something the dog values far more.

The reality is simple. If your dog picks up something that could cause serious harm and you can’t confidently get it back, something needs to change.

Train the drop before you need it.

Your dog’s life could depend on it.

Rolo arrived at Lancashire Dog Training causing chaos at home, pushing boundaries, and leaving his owner feeling overwhelmed. Through clear guidance, structure, and consistency, Rolo has transformed into a calmer, happier, and more fulfilled dog.

Most importantly, his mum now has the confidence, understanding, and enjoyment she was hoping for all along.

Here’s what she had to say about her experience with Lancashire Dog Training…

Remember Maggie? In this session she shows exactly why scent trailing is so fascinating to watch. Lisa heads off on a walk, leaving just one sock behind to start the trail. From there Maggie gets to work.

✔️ Picking up the trail from the sock
✔️ Identifying where Lisa touched a street sign
✔️ Holding the scent while walking directly behind someone else
✔️ Ignoring every other distraction and contamination scent around her

Despite people, traffic, surfaces, movement and countless competing odours… Maggie stays locked onto ONE scent only: Lisa’s.

This is why we don’t just train in the field we train in real environments. Pavements, streets, public spaces and distractions create a far more honest picture of a dog’s ability than a perfectly controlled field ever could.

Dogs experience the world primarily through their nose. Watching them problem solve in real time never gets old.

Maggie absolutely smashed it 👏🐶

Not all “qualified” dog trainers are created equal.

The other day I heard about someone completing a 2 week online course to gain a behaviour certificate… not because they’re passionate about helping dogs, but because it allows them to make money through insurance referrals.

That should concern every dog owner.

A certificate might impress an insurance company, but it doesn’t automatically mean somebody understands dogs. Real experience can’t be downloaded from a laptop in 14 days.

Years of hands-on work with real dogs, real owners and real behavioural problems will always mean more than a fancy bit of paper on the wall.

When you’re trusting somebody with your dog, do your due diligence properly. Don’t just look for “qualifications”. Ask questions.

Ask to see:
• Reviews from real clients
• Testimonials and case studies
• Evidence of long-term behaviour modification
• Proof their methods actually work outside of a controlled demo

Anybody can talk the talk online. Not everybody can produce calm, fulfilled, reliable dogs in the real world.

Choose experience. Choose results. Choose someone who’s put the hours in and can prove it.

Funny how the internet will tell you what a dog “must hate”. Meanwhile the dog is standing there telling you the complete opposite.

Same dog.
Same owner.
Two different tools.

Clip 1️⃣: calm, relaxed, happily waiting for the prong collar to go on before a walk.

Clip 2️⃣: avoiding the halti, darting around the room trying not to have it fitted.

Dogs don’t read comment sections. They respond to pressure, clarity, comfort and experience.

A lot of people judge tools based on how they look to humans rather than how they actually feel to the dog wearing them. The reality is many dogs find haltis far more restrictive and uncomfortable than a properly fitted prong collar.

This is why we stop listening to emotional opinions and start paying attention to the dog in front of us. Their behaviour tells the truth every single time.

A calm, happy, fulfilled dog should always matter more to us than human ego or internet virtue signalling.

Joules came to LDT for his first session and despite only being 6 months old, he’s already had a rough start to life.

For the first month of his life he was locked away in a tiny cage, laying in his own urine and faeces, never experiencing the outside world the way a puppy should. Thankfully he was rescued and soon after adopted by Tracy, who brought him to LDT to help build his confidence.

What you’re seeing in this video isn’t “just play”.

At the beginning of the session I kept plenty of distance between Joules and myself while we played together using a soft tug toy on a long line. That space allowed him to become comfortable naturally, without pressure. Slowly, his confidence started to grow. The gap became smaller, his engagement became stronger and eventually he trusted me enough to allow physical contact.

To Joules, he’s just playing a game, having fun and making a new friend.

But underneath that, something much bigger is happening.

Play is helping rewire how he feels about the world. It’s teaching him that new people, new environments and interaction don’t have to be scary. This is why socialisation and play are such a critical part of a puppy’s early development. Without it, many dogs grow up fearful, insecure and eventually problematic.

Confidence can’t be forced into a dog.
It has to be built.

And for dogs like Joules, that process often starts with something as simple as a game.

This dog is on a lead restraint. Even WITH the new legal amendments, there is NO LEGAL SPECIFIED LEAD LENGTH.

Tell me again, how a lead teaches a determined dog anything whatsoever, when a sheep suddenly and unexpectedly appears?

How - in that moment - does a lead prevent stress or fear to the sheep or lamb?

Both of which are a criminal offence if NOT prevented …

Then tell me something else …

If training the dog with an e-collar to avoid sheep - WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES - is not just possible, but REPEATEDLY SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN …

Why in Earth aren’t governments supporting AND promoting that training??

I’ll tell you why.

Because securing your vote is more about making you ‘feeling’ good, than it is about ‘doing’ good.

The animals are secondary to the politicians’ personal best interests.
