So proud of these boys who are usually very over-aroused around other dogs!
Timmy and Watson are classic teenage doggos. They struggle to find an off-switch when meeting friends out and about.
They were the perfect Guinea pigs for a supervised social walk and they aced it! Even when they encountered high-energy off lead dogs, they were able to manage their arousal levels and have a calm, leisurely walk.
And to add, both were super sleepy all afternoon! It is such a lovely example that calm socialisation is just as stimulating (and more effective) than constant high energy chase and play. They definitely had moments of play, but it was much more subdued than usual.
Live in the Richmond area and want to join our walks? Send me a message! 🐾

A very informative evening attending the #APDAWG committee meeting in Parliament discussing the state of UK Rescue.
As someone hoping to bring a rescue dog into my life soon, it was very eye opening to hear about the issues faced throughout the country.
As a trainer it strengthened my dedication to helping those who are struggling with their dog, as that is one less dog in the rescue system. 🐾

✨Trust✨ and ✨Connection✨
Are not woowoo girly words. They are critical in your relationship with your dog.
This is the FIRST TIME I have had to do out-of-sight recall with Quinny. We’ve never had a training session on it, rarely practised it, BUT she trusts me and we have built a very strong connection.
Quinny is reactive to strangers, but she has put her trust in me in a new, exciting environment because that ✨trust✨ and ✨connection✨ gives both of us confidence.
Training that includes fear, pain, intimidation, and punishment will NEVER get you a recall like this. Sure, the dog will come back to you, but the body language will look very different. They come back to you out of fear for getting punished, not excitement to get rewarded for their efforts.
