Thanks to the emergency service at Pool House Vets for removing chicken bones from this little monkey yesterday! Gave us quite a scare but he’s ok today.

3 years this week since I gained my Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy Puppy Trainer Accreditation! It’s something that I’m immensely proud of as it was awarded by the Institute of Modern Dog Training which really is the top dog (excuse the pun!) in the dog training world. It proves that my puppy training goes beyond just basic obedience and socialisation but helps owners to really understand their puppies. This helps them grow in to confident and happy adult dogs. If you would like some help training your puppy or are getting a puppy soon and would like some expert guidance on how to get it right from the start take a look at https://thedogclub.uk/courses/puppy-training/ or message me.

How Kimi unwinds after a morning at work with me! She was a fantastic stooge dog during a one to one session with a young Labrador who is working on feeling more relaxed around other dogs. Kimi’s role was to stand still while the Labrador and their owner learned to apply the techniques that we’ve been learning during our one to one sessions. Who needs food when you’ve got this as your reward?!

When a puppy gets a new teething chew and doesn’t know whether to play with it or bite it! Notice the play bows and the high pitched bark. This tells us that puppy is having fun and is happy to play. Watching our puppies and dogs play tells us a lot about them.

Looking into a puppy’s eyes gives us humans a rush of oxytocin (unless you’re made of stone!). Thats the same neurochemical that a human (and dog) mother releases during child birth. Powerful stuff. We get a hit of oxytocin whenever we hug someone we love and both dog and human experience it when we fuss our dogs. Yet another way we are so similar to our four legged friends. This is Rubie. She has just started her one to one puppy training with me. She has only just moved into her new forever home so our focus this week is to get her settled with toilet training and establishing a routine etc then we’ll move onto some age appropriate training.

Sometimes my work with clients starts before the puppy even arrives! Loved receiving these photos yesterday of the new puppy spaces than this client has created in their home. Creating designated spaces for your puppy to retreat to gives them much needed chill time. The garden pen is to create a special wee spot which promotes toilet training (it’s not staying on the stones when puppy arrives as they love to chew them!). The Perfect Puppy Course covers lots of ways to help you get ready for puppy’s arrival and to make sure things go smoothly in the first few days and weeks. https://thedogclub.uk/product/onlineperfectpuppycourse/ Just need the puppy now!
