Hello All,

Please note we are currently unable to provide any training.

11/05/2022

Training a dog often involves a lot of unrealistic expectations

These often include
1. Quick fixes
2. That the dog can do the cue immediately
3. The dog will stop the behaviour

If someone promises you the above- that’s a huge red flag.
WHY?

Because training is learning, and learning takes time.

In reality, every dog is an individual and learns at their own pace:

1. There are no quick fixes: Learning a cue and especially desensitization and counterconditioning a dog to certain triggers can take weeks, months, and be lifelong struggles.
2. Your dog needs time to practice- in a low distraction environment, setting them up for success. You then slowly need to progress the training according to your dog’s progress (not yours!) in increasing levels of distractions and scenarios with different criteria to help proof the cue- which again, takes time
3. Your dog will not stop the behaviour - unless you address your dog’s emotional states (like fear, anxiety, and stress), their welfare needs (5 welfare needs) and their motivations for the behaviour (what is reinforcing or driving the behaviour), then your dog will not change their behaviour. You need to give your dog outlets (like a digging pit, shredding, scentwork, sniffing) help their emotional states and change the reinforcements (management) to help change the behaviour

Hi everyone,

Due to some unexpected circumstances we will be closing our books for new clients from the end of April. While we aren't taking on any new clients anyone is still more than welcome to ask advice (at no charge) as we still don't want misinformation to be spread surrounding dog training and behaviour. We will most likely open the books again early 2023 or sooner and during our time away we will be working on some exciting things for you and your dogs.

This won't affect anyone currently with us so no panic!

Thank you all for your support

Be Kind, Train Humane
