16.01.2022 As a dog trainer and behavioural consultant, I believe it’s vital to stay up to date with the latest research and techniques which can then be passed onto my clients Over the last two years I have been studying my Diploma in Canine Behaviour, and after completing it earlier this month, I am now a qualified Canine Practitioner through the International School for Canine Psychology and Behaviour The ISCP uphold values which I include in my session with clients and their d...ogs, which centers around positive and compassionate methods! This has been a wonderful learning experience and I look forward to continuing on my studies with them in the future Currently my Saturday sessions in July are booking out fast, I still have some sessions left on Mondays or Wednesday afternoons - if you are interested in starting or continuing your journey of creating a more harmonious life with your dog, email or message me to make a booking

15.01.2022 Our paws are up for positive reinforcement Within our sessions and training we only recommend positive reinforcement as the way of training, this is a great post on why! Credit: Dogs Disclosed

11.01.2022 Are you motivating your dog to work for you? Reward value matters! The rewards we use have different values to our dogs. These can be high (smelly, only get occasionally, tasty etc) or low (dry food they get all the time, manufactured boring treats that are hard to eat etc). Think of rewards as monetary value, would you work for $5 p/h? Your dog is less likely to stay motivated and work for you for a dry biscuit, but would they for a piece of delicious chicken? ... Find out what motivates your dogs (doesn’t have to be food, can be praise, toys ect), how much they value it and use this to your advantage. Your rewards have different values and it is good to change it up (as if we constantly use the same reward they value may decrease), but just ensure your dog is getting paid adequately for the work they are putting in
