Why Puppy Pre-School?

Think of it as baby sensory class, but for puppies! 🐶

A gentle introduction to socialisation through play and exploration.

2 x 45 minute sessions that let your puppy grow in confidence and teaches you how to set them up for success before starting more formal training.

Sessions will be limited to a very small group and take place at @pet_people_vets in East Sheen, where pups will also have an opportunity to explore a vet clinic stress-free!

First course is October 16th & 23rd

🌙✨ Walking your reactive dog at night can take away a lot of stress for both of you.

Just remember: safety first! Wear reflective gear or stay on well-lit paths.

Struggling to get calm lead walking from your puppy? 🐾

A lot of puppy clients are able to perfect lead walking skills at home, but it all falls apart when they step outside.

My #1 tip when teaching calm lead walking to a puppy is to let them get their `sillies` out first! 🤪
What I mean by this is:
1. choose small length of pavement (In this video, I chose the space between 2 trees)
2. go up and down that length 2-4 times and let your puppy explore by sniffing, chasing leaves, etc. 🍂
3. Then, practise your loose lead walking skills for 2-4 lengths in the same spot.

Notice a difference? We are now setting our puppies up for success and not having too high expectations of them too quickly!

If you mastered this and want to move to the next level, DM me and we can work on it together! 🤩

Hoopers Taster with @happy_buddies_ !

Benny and I had a blast doing a beginners hoopers session with Amanda at Happy Buddies!

It’s always so useful to be on the other side in a group class and just get to learn and play 😊

It reminded me how important it is to just do something fun with your dog! Whether that’s playing at home or going to a dog sports class.

Did you know there are loads of classes like hoopers that can accommodate any dog at any age? And you don’t have to compete, it can be just for fun!

It’s National Dog Day! 🐶

Who are you celebrating today?

I always think of my lovely Taffy the Toller because it is her birthday today as well!

It’s fun to look back on all the fun activities we did together, before I knew a thing about dog training!

What activities fill your dog’s cup? Maybe let them enjoy doing that activity today 😊

Loose Lead Walking! 🦮🐕‍🦺

It looks simple, but it’s one of the hardest dog training skills to master. Why? Because it requires consistency, patience, and working against the distractions of the outside world!

Some top tips for lead walking:

🐾Reward often - what gets rewarded gets repeated!
🐾Start in low-distraction areas - like the kitchen or the living room!
🐾Keep training short and sweet - little and often is ideal

If you have a puppy or adolescent dog, be patient and understand they are taking in so much when they are out on a walk.

If you need support with lead walking, join Adolescent Academy September 6th where we deep-dive into this essential skill.

Or book a 1:1 training program!

Just DM me for info 😊

A simple chin rest can unlock a new world for you and your dog!

If you know me, then you know I am a consent handling fanatic. Ever since I saw how simple it can be, it made me realise how much more we can do for our dogs.

If vet visits or just simply putting on your dog’s harness are stressful experiences, start by teaching the chin rest.

Then, work with me either in-person or online and we can unlock all the handling possibilities!

I may have a consent handling class coming soon in Richmond…🤔DM me your email and I’ll pop you on the wait list!
