🔥🔥 PIPER 🔥🔥 THE FRORKIE 😍

We had a session with Piper last night to help with her reactions to other dogs, but it quickly became clear that we also needed to change quite a few things at home, as there was an element of resource guarding involved.

After introducing her to the dogs and giving her owners the chance to change how they handled her, we showed Piper that there was no need to kick off around the other dogs! 💯

And as for Dash leaving when YOU decided, little one… that wasn't happening! 🤣🤣

Neo was outta there tho 🤷🙄😅

This is exactly why having good dogs of my own is so important to the work I do. 👌

How can we properly understand and help change a dog's behaviour around other dogs if we never actually see that behaviour play out in a controlled, real-life situation?

My dogs aren't just there to look good on a walk. They're an essential part of the process, helping me assess behaviour, provide appropriate social experiences and give owners the opportunity to learn how to handle their dogs in situations that matter.

Of course, it's about choosing the right dogs for the job and managing every interaction appropriately. It's not about throwing dogs together and hoping for the best!

Now we have a plan in place to start changing both Piper's and her owners' lives for the better. 💯👏

Good training isn't just about telling owners what to do. It's about having the experience, the right dogs and the ability to put that training into practice in the real world. 🧡

And Storm is getting more and more confident in the pack away from her sister...

Just takes time... a little know how and good dogs to get them through most stressful situations in life 💯🧡

I'll address the elephant in the room. I know I sound ridiculous when working with shy or shutdown dogs. This is by design and as you can see, works 😁🤟

Do you get your shoulder pulled out the socket every walk?

You don't have to endure walks like that... it takes a very short time to start showing a dog how to calmly walk with their handler properly 💯👌

Here's the first hour with Sully the other night before we tested him with the dogs and he did amazing 👏

I could watch them run all day...

Getting your dog off leash, safely, is one of the best things you will ever do for them 🧡

The difference you will see in numerous behaviours getting better is amazing and tbh, there isn't a better sight than this 💯👌

DOGS AND SOCIAL MEDIA 🫣🫣

Some people focus more on making their dog famous online than understanding what they need. Cute photos are fun, but dogs are dogs—not little humans in fur coats. 💯

Anthropomorphising them can make us overlook their instincts, communication and needs.

My dogs enjoy affection, comfort and adventures, but they also need clear boundaries, structure and behavioural expectations. Their wellbeing should come before making them look cute for social media.

A dog wearing pyjamas on the sofa isn't automatically a problem. The concern is when treating dogs like people affects how we raise them, set boundaries and respond to behaviour.

Loving your dog means understanding what they need, not simply giving them what makes you happy. Offer affection and adventures alongside guidance, boundaries and safe opportunities for natural behaviours.

Our job isn't to turn dogs into little humans for likes. It's to help them become happy, confident, well-adjusted DOGS. 🧡

"Treat your dog like a human and they will treat you like a dog"

🔥🔥 SULLY 🔥🔥

As some of you may know, this is my good pal Rico’s brother, and we had a session last night to work on a few things! 👌

We worked on his lead work first, as this boy is already a strong lad at only 11 months old! 💯 We also started working on his recall towards the end of the session and put a plan in place to keep building on it going forward.

But we also had to test his manners around the dogs... and HOW RUDE CAN ONE DOG BE?! 🤣🤣

This boy runs straight up to another dog barking and shoves his face right into their personal space to investigate! 🫣 Needless to say, Rico and Neo weren't impressed!

So, up stepped Dash to help me start teaching Sully some manners, showing him what is and isn't acceptable around other dogs. Thankfully, things progressed nicely, and they ended up having a play together, which was lovely to see! 👌🧡

This is why choosing a good breeder AND socialising your dog properly from a young age is SO important. 💯

Rico and Sully have come from a breeder who has given them a good start in life, but even the best breeder in the world can't do all the work for you. Genetics and early experiences matter, but what you do with your dog afterwards matters just as much!

Socialisation isn't about letting your puppy run up to every dog they see, saying hello to everyone, or expecting every dog to put up with their behaviour. It's about helping them learn how to behave appropriately, read other dogs, build confidence and understand that not every interaction needs to end in play.

And that means choosing the right dogs, the right environments and the right experiences to help them learn. 👌

A well-bred dog still benefits from good guidance, boundaries and proper socialisation. Sully's owners have done everything they knew to give him the best start, and now we're helping him continue learning that charging into another dog's personal space isn't always acceptable! 🤣

Looking forward to seeing this boy grow in more ways than one. He's got a lot to learn, but he's in good hands! 🧡

I will get back to all messages tomorrow morning... in the mean time here's Rico's brother, Sully, who you will see more...

🔥🔥 ROMY 🔥🔥

Loved meeting this gentle soul at the weekend for a short hour just to help with some leash work...

This didn't take too much but I have been assured by both mum and dad the pulling turns into jumping and biting the lead... which to some people can feel like a nightmare if you aren't actually quite sure what you are doing or looking at...

We had a really good laugh and Romy showed everyone just how lovely of a lass she is 💯

Getting a handle on behaviours like this early is always advisable as you don't know where it will stop...

Well done Romy and mum. Can't wait to see you keep up your progress 🧡

It's not always the easiest thing coming to group training class but you guys make it easier for them to settle in, thankyou all 🙏🧡
