Shadow K9 Training Welcome! Are you looking for a fully qualified and insured dog trainer in Essex? Check out my 5* Google reviews and message me to find out if I can help

I have been animal crazy since I was born and have had a range of animals over the years but the one constant in my life has been dogs. I grew up with Chow Chows and Pyrenean Mountain dogs as family dogs. As a young child I helped train my neighbours Doberman and a family friends Rottweiler and German Shepard (she told me I was 5 when I spent all my time in her garden with both dogs and they learnt something new after every visit). Later on my parents had an aggressive at everything Shih Tzu which I helped his reactivity and loved the challenge a reactive dog brings and watch them grow. During my 20’s my friend and I helped a charity take dogs from mistreated homes and transported them to their foster home before they were rehomed. These days my parents have a fairly quite in comparison (only dog aggressive to some dogs) Larzarapso and my husband and I have a “Son” (as I don’t do human children), a Doberman who’s 2.5 years. My house, however is always full of all kinds of breeds as 2 of my close friends are dog walkers and 1 is a trainer and the dogs learn to hang out in the same room and not having to interact all the time while we drink coffee - win,win 🤣
Over the years friends and family have told me to qualify as a trainer as they’ve always felt I would be good but life has excuses. My career has always been extremely busy (I travel the country training surgeons and nurses in all things eye surgery and am hardly at home). This year (2023) I’ve decided to allow myself to do something for me and now am qualifying under the "Dog Training College" to put a dream into action!

Understanding that dogs learn in pictures helps us to understand why they can do something in one circumstance but not another. A lot of training is boring to us as it’s about repeating the same behaviour over and over again in different places, with different distractions at different distances.

Do not let your dog meet every dog you see on your walk. Bad manners come from this or worse, creating reactivity and diminishing your recall

Just a couple of facts to get to know a little about me and ask any questions you might have.

My boy helps me to:

He helps me to slow down and enjoy the little things,

he gets me out walking when I’m too tired or the weather is rubbish & every time I come back feeling better for it.

He is my personal emotional check-in, warning me to de-stress.

He reminds me of everything important in life.

He reminds me to put my phone down and have a cuddle as you never know when it’ll be your last together.

Fireworks always cause an issue with people enjoying themselves and dogs being scared but the truth is many dogs don’t need to stay in that state of fear. Many can be trained to adapt and no longer be afraid. It’s humans that keep them in that state of mind unknowingly. What we do to calm other humans like cuddles, actually tells our dogs to it’s ok to stay in that state of mind. You can help them@move through their fear and learn to live with noises in a calmer state of mind with the right training.

Dogs are rarely the issue. With the right guidance, rules and boundaries they will always respond well BUT as Humans we get in their way and out our human emotion onto them which holds them back and prevents them moving forward in a lot of cases

Flirt poles are hugely underrated and not well known outside the training community but they can be such a powerful training tool for so many things like impulse control, prey drive management and exercise.

My boy, my son, my everything 💕

Reality is my boy doesn’t give us any trouble since being out of adolescence BECAUSE I meet his needs on a breed level. You really need to understand the breed you buy in order to fulfil their needs otherwise you can have issues.
