We have said this before but we're going to say it again. 👇

As much as we are here to help you and your dog/s, we unfortunately don't have a magic wand that will solve all the issues you're currently having by coming to me for an hours session and not putting into practice what you've learnt at home. Some issues dogs have, especially behavioural, take time and a slower approach and if you as the dogs owners don't continue the training and techniques you have learnt with me at home then nothing will ever improve. I can only do so much in the time your dog is with me. If you also continuously rearrange, don't show up or only attend one or two sessions then the lack of improvement is on you not us. Refresher sessions are important to reaffirm the structure and boundaries your setting with your dog to ensure they don't slip back into bad habits. We need to remember that training should be carried out throughout our dogs life, not just in a bad patch.

I imagine people are sick of hearing this from me but consistency is key and you will get out of your dog what you put into it, time builds that bond with your dogs not quick fixes to match some owners high expectations. If you put the time, effort, love and EXERCISE into your dog you will get that back 100x over! I will give you 110% during your training session but you have to do the same away from training or there is no point in coming.

On a lighter note we're ready for the weekend and to collect our new van so we can keep up the demand 😅! Thank you for your continued support 😁👍

Sleep is a HUGE part of training... 😴

Sleep is something we often overlook as owners and many have gotten into the habit of excessively overfilling their dogs day leaving very little room for that all important nap!

I am often contacted by owners who are struggling with their pup and more often than not it's because the dog has been taught how to get excited but not how to calm down. For example an overtired puppy can look hyperactive, bitey or “naughty” when it actually needs a nap.

How much sleep do dogs actually need 👇

✅ Puppies: Need 18 to 20 hours of sleep daily to support rapid physical growth, brain development, and learning.

✅ Adult Dogs: Need 12 to 14 hours split between nighttime sleep and daytime naps.

✅ Senior Dogs: Need 14 to 18 hours of rest as their bodies age and tire more easily.

Sleep hugely impacts a dogs overall behaviour including their learning capacity, memory, immune system, physical ability and impulse control and these are just a few reasons why I fully support ethical crate training or having a set place/bed so we as owners can help them switch off and unwind.

And lastly this is what a good routine looks like:

Train → play/explore → toilet → calm down → sleep → repeat.

Can you remember when Rottweilers were labelled ‘bad’ and ‘aggressive’ in the 90s? 🙄

It’s crazy to me that those outdated opinions still influence how the breed is viewed today.

Rottweilers were bred to be powerful, confident working dogs. They’re strong-minded, protective, fiercely loyal and capable of thinking for themselves, which is exactly why understanding the breed is so important.

They’re a breed that benefits from having clear direction and knowing what is expected of them. Being strong-minded and naturally independent means they may push boundaries and challenge inconsistency, so it’s important that their owners provide confident, fair leadership and a clear structure from the beginning.

Because when they’re understood, responsibly bred, properly trained and given what they actually need, Rottweilers are bloody amazing dogs. ❤️‍🩹

Sometimes we put so much time and effort into training our dogs that we overlook the things they could teach us too. I spend so much of my time working with dogs, helping them navigate the world and become the best versions of themselves, but the more dogs I work with, the more I realise how much they teach me in return.

Life can get so busy, and it’s easy to become caught up in the stresses, routines and everything we feel like we need to get done. Sometimes our dogs are a little reminder to slow down and pay attention to the things that actually matter.

There are the obvious ones… loyalty, love and joy, but I’ve tried to focus on the things we don’t always stop and think about.

What would you add? 🐾🤍

All-day Click & Collect with Precious 🐾

Precious is a rescue mastiff cross, who first came to me for training around reactivity, and it’s honestly amazing to see just how far she’s come, now setting such a fantastic example for my other clients working through reactivity and socialisation.

She’s a great representation of what large, powerful breeds can become when their owners put in the time, consistency and commitment. 💪🏼❤️

Aswell as exercise, an all-day Click & Collect gives us the opportunity to keep on top of training, enrichment, confidence, social skills and behaviour throughout the day too.

Precious has come such a long way, and seeing a rescue dog who once needed that extra support now confidently helping set the standard for others is pretty special.✨

People often assume balanced training is all about creating “robots”

For me, it’s about earning moments like these. Putting the work in so you know you can let them off, watch them run, sniff, explore, and just enjoy being a dog.

I’ve loved having Daisy in for Click & Collect sessions while her owners have been away. She’s been an absolute pleasure to have, and seeing her charging around the fields like this (with those ears doing their own thing 😂) has been the highlight.

These are the moments that make all the training worth it.

They say dogs teach us unconditional love, but I also think they teach our children patience, compassion and responsibility. Watching these two together reminds me just how much they learn from eachother, and how lucky they are to grow up side by side❤️🐾
