🐶 Training your dog should build trust, not fear.

When searching for a dog trainer, you may come across terms such as balanced training and force-free training. Understanding the difference can help you make the best choice for your dog's wellbeing.

Reward-based, force-free training focuses on teaching dogs what to do rather than punishing them for what not to do. By rewarding desired behaviours and building positive associations, dogs can learn in a way that is effective, enjoyable and welfare-friendly.

In our latest article, we explore different training approaches and explain why the JSPCA supports reward-based methods.

Have you used force-free training with your dog? We'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments. 🐾

Whether we are on the beaches, cliff paths, roads or anywhere else, we share space with other people and animals.

Please remember to consider the wellbeing of those around us. Our dogs can have fun without terrorising wildlife.

One of the best ways to avoid this is to train a solid recall, and *engage* with your dog when you’re out and about together.

It's your last chance to pay your licence before the fee doubles in price!

I found this really easy to do on my phone, it had remembered my details as I have an account, and I could use apple pay after ticking a few boxes.

It's that time of year again folks!

Don't forget to renew your dog license if your pup is over 6 months old 🙂
