Fascinating examination of the debates within dog training and the misuse of the term science. Not perfect by any means but raises some challenging questions that need consideration.
Beware anyone who claims they have ‘THE science’ on their side.
Science is a method of investigation.

Nokia’s progress. Watching a LSG dog, with no background information, gradually becoming more confident and less reactive. Special mention to Milo our stooge dog.
Nokia is available for adoption from Foredowne Kennels & Cattery

Really positive first interaction between Boris & Bill. Both young complete males who haven’t much experience of playing with other dogs. They have a great time and manage themselves well. But they were carefully monitored and I did intervene and ended the play before they got too stimulated.
Bloody super dogs!

Flame is a GSD cross, found as a stray, supported by south west GSD rescue and adopted by a wonderful couple, who have put the hard miles into to help Flame settle and overcome her tough start in life.
Still a work in progress, but as the reel shows her reactivity has reduced significantly and on our BDW on the 20/5 she coped brilliantly with a group of dogs & humans she’d never met before. (Except Milo, who she’s worked with.)

Yup I’m using extendable leads😳
But the important thing is how the Doberman is behaving.
It’s ‘normal’ play…

Interesting bit of in-depth research into new ideas in canine care.

Intrigued to see how this approach has emerged and evolved.

Remember when we stop learning and growing we start declining…
