It’s was a puppy fest yesterday with these two gorgeous pups! 🐶
Meet 14 week
Old Shih Tzu ‘Daisy’ and 10 week old Miniature Golden Doodle ‘Wilson’ who’s ‘pawrents’ had contacted me to cover the aspects of dog training not covered in their puppy class sessions.
Getting your pups training right from Day One is essential to bringing up a well socialised, polite and respectful adult dog in the future.
If you have a puppy or are thinking of having a puppy in the future then please contact me for advice. Check my Puppy Training section plus a lot more on my website www.stevehutleydogrehab.co.uk. Your dog WON’T be disappointed! 👍🐾🐶🫶

It was ‘classroom’ time today for 6 month old Chow Chow ‘Neville’ who gets very excited around other dogs and just wants to jump on them in excitement! Obviously not every dog likes that and ‘Neville’ is still learning doggy etiquette of how to correctly great other dogs! 🫣
Mum Nina had asked for my assistance to help her know what to do around other dogs to keep ’Neville’ calm in order to have ‘acceptable’ greetings when required.
A great session was had and ‘Neville’ picked up ‘dog etiquette’ really quickly and we had some lovely calm interactions with some other dogs. Well done ‘Neville’! @👍🐾🐩🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐶

If you are having issues with your dog’s ‘reactivity’, be it excitement or aggression then please contact me via Facebook or my website at www.stevehutleydogrehab.co.uk.
A calm dog = calm owner!!👍

My latest GSD fix for a while came yesterday with the very excited 6 month old ‘Kovu’! 👍🐾🐕
I had been asked by his Mum Chelsey to help her with his constant excitement and jumping up, barking and pulling on the lead, as well as chasing the cat! 🙀
Most dogs learn as a young puppy that if they get excited and jump, bark and go crazy that they ALWAYS get their owners attention! Hence to a dog, jumping, barking and going crazy is a ‘positive’ thing! Obviously for owners it’s not, but by understanding that even looking at your dog, speaking to them and touching them is a REWARD, owners soon start to learn where they may be going wrong!! 🤔
Once it was explained to Chelsey and her parents exactly what rules needed to be implemented and were shown how to implement them, we got a calmer ‘Kovu’ who was beginning to understand what was expected from him! 👍
Obviously the hard work starts now, but I am confident that Chelsey, Paul and Terrie will continue the training journey I have started and will soon reap the rewards, with a calmer and more obedient dog! 🐕 🐾🤞

I had a lovely’Dog Reactivity’ session on Monday with two beautiful Tibetan Terriers!
15 month old Brothers ‘Sonny’ and ‘Bear’,had caused their Mum and Dad Faye and Neil some stressful moments and they needed a bit of help to understand exactly what they were trying to say to them when they see another dog? 🤔
Being able to read your dogs body language and pick up on their energy is vital in all aspects of dog training, particularly when it comes to their reactivity. Both dogs (and Mum and Dad) took to the training really well! Obviously being Tibetan Terriers they would! ! 😂

If your dog is ‘reactive’ ( that’s either excitement or aggression) and you are struggling to work out which it is and how to deal with it, then jump on my website (www.stevehutleydogrehab.co.uk) and find out all about me and what I do! 👍🐾🐩🦮🐕🐕‍🦺

We’re up in Norfolk for the next 3 weekends for our friends Wedding Celebrations. 1) Hen Night 2) Stag Do 3) Wedding! ❤️
Met up with the lovely ’Roxy’ today after a break of 10 months. She has certainly filled out into a lovely little stocky Pocket Bully but hasn’t changed a bit! Still loves to sit on your head!! 🫣🥴😜👍🐾🐕‍🦺

A lovely training session was had today with the lovely ‘Milo’ a 16 month old Cavapoo. His Mum and Dad Kayleigh and Damien were struggling with his separation anxiety when left, either on his own or when just when Kayleigh left the house! 🫣
The session consisted of teaching them what ‘Milo’ was teaching himself with certain ‘building blocks’ as I call them, which told ‘Milo’ Mum and Dad were leaving the house! ‘Separation Anxiety’ is one of the harder exercises to train your dog around as the behaviours only occur when you’re not there, but can only be done when you are there! 🤔Therefore it is imperative to start off with simple exercises to teach ‘Milo’ that simply staying in another room on his own is ok and that Mum and Dad will ALWAYS come back! Then building the time alone up by going and coming back into the house for various times.
Hopefully putting these training techniques in place will stop ‘Milo’ stressing and he will eventually take being left in his stride! 🤞👍🐾🐶

Yesterday I had a follow up visit to a recent ’dog reactivity’ session that I did with Frances and her very dog reactive 4 year old rescue Staffy ‘Nelly’. Frances’ daughter Kerrie had acquired a 12 week old Doberman puppy ‘Sidney’ who she wanted to introduce to ‘Nelly’ in a correct manner. 🤞
Being a very excitable pup, ‘Sidney’ had been put in his place by a couple of other dogs who didn’t welcome his over zealousness! 🫣
It was important to teach ‘Sidney’ that unfortunately for him he cannot invade every dogs personal space, and equally important for Frances to teach ‘Nelly’ that she doesn’t have to protect herself as she will read the situation and take ‘Nelly’ away from any situation that she is not comfortable with.
A lovely session was had with numerous dogs encountered on our walk where both dogs behaved impeccably! 👍
It was lovely showing both Frances and Kerrie exactly what their dogs are capable of, once the dogs know that they are in control of every situation!
We then did some work in Frances back garden, where ‘Nelly’ was in ‘Sidney’s territory. As there were no other distractions there as out on the walk earlier, ‘Sidney’s attention was focused on ‘Nelly’ who initially reacted to this confrontation. Within a short time ‘Nelly’ had stopped barking, whining and lunging at ‘Sidney’ and we had a few laps of the garden praising their calm behaviour! 👍
I finished off the training session walking both dogs close to each other outside again, which for their first session together, Frances thought was impossible! 👍😀
As can be seen in the accompanying video, both dogs were happy to continue to ignore each other and were praised for that good behaviour, as that was exactly what ‘Nelly’ wanted and she was comfortable with that! It’s worth pointing out that this was NOT a heel walk training exercise for ‘Sidney’ but for me to see how close the dogs could walk whilst ignoring each other. ‘Sidney’ was happy to ignore ‘Nelly’ as her body language was telling him that she wasn’t interested in interacting with him which was fine. He was happy to wander off for a sniff but it was important to teach him that there are times when you have to just walk forwards and not stop, and there are times when you can stop and are allowed to wee, poo and sniff, which we had previously done before the video.
Obviously consistency is key in dog training and the more the two dogs are worked close to each other within the dogs comfort zones, then hopefully they will soon accept each other and become best of friends. 🤞👍🐾🐕‍🦺🐶

It was back to work for me yesterday after a nice break away with the family.
Thankfully being eased back into work with ‘Monty’ a 12 week old Miniature Golden Doodle makes things a tad easier!
Mum Laura wanted to make sure that she started ‘Monty’s training off correctly and to make sure that all the family were doing the right things for him.
A lovely session was spent explaining my ‘Nucleus of Dog Training’ Protocol to successful dog ownership!
I’m looking forward to seeing how ‘Monty’ develops are learns over the coming weeks and months! Good luck guys! 🤞👍🐾🐶
