Just a reminder that if your dog trainer spends more time slating the use of certain tools than they do improving your dog’s life, bin them!

Same goes if your dog trainer slates the use of certain tools yet uses them on their own dog.

You can do better - bin that dog trainer!

Three things you can rely on at Valorant K9 Academy - transparency, honesty & results 🙌🏻

We love hearing about how well your dog’s walks

We love hearing about how well your dog’s walks are going now 😁

The more safe freedom, the better!

From reactive, unpredictable & edgy to a tolerant, calm member of society, Storm is an example of hard work always bringing rewards. Well done 👏🏻

Today I completely understood why our clients don’t want to walk their nervous dogs

Panzer is the most tolerant, stable dog we have, but even she was tested today when:

• a woman bent down and put her face in Panzer’s face, after being told she’s not interested in people
• a whippet did zoomies around her then glued its nose up her backside
• a small, frustrated dog on an extendable leash yapped in her face for the time I took to step over the other small, frustrated dogs on extendable leashes and move aside
• a Labrador also glued its nose up her backside then tried to mount her

Panzer was on the leash for 3 of these interactions…. Not one person had control of their dog, apologised for not having control of their dog, or regained control of their dog.

So yeah, no wonder people are so scared to go out before they start seeing us.

We teach skills that help you recover from these events. Whether it be an emergency down, muzzling, emergency recall, dog neutrality, all of the above, we can help you.

Your dogs deserve fresh air - don’t let idiots like the above ruin your dog’s life 👍🏻

Thanks everyone who’s booked onto our puppy pack

Thanks everyone who’s booked onto our puppy packages! We’re super excited to give your puppy the best possible start in life 👌🏻

In a world of misinformation, there’s nothing more important than starting your puppy training correctly from day 1.

On that note, please don’t wait until your puppy is ‘fully vaccinated’ to start training them! We are appalled at how many of you have been told to keep your puppies inside until they have had further vaccinations. Of course we value safety above anything, but the fearmongering concerning potential germs is extremely damaging to socialisation. There are plenty of ways to start training correctly without harming your puppy. Not starting training from day 1 is what’s harmful!

The typical puppy’s early months look something like this:

• stay in the house & garden until the puppy is 3 or even 4 months old whilst waiting for vaccinations 😐
• commence ‘puppy socialisation classes’, building too much value in dogs for some puppies & confirming fears for the shyer puppies 😐
• go on a walk to the local park once or twice a day, pulling on the lead the entire time, where interactions with dogs are undesirable 😐
• develop a terrible inability to settle in the home, with behaviours such as demand barking & destroying the house commonplace 😐

Our puppy packages will set you up for life. The Bronze package is 5 sessions, the Silver is 10 and the Gold is 15. Please go to our website for further details; we’ll put a link in the comments 👇🏻

Number one top tip with puppies? Forget the tric

Number one top tip with puppies?

Forget the tricks & commands for now - work on the 3 Rs

Relationship ⭐️
Recall ⭐️
Resilience ⭐️

3 things that are very hard to have if the opportunity is missed, but 3 things which will make you a brilliant adult dog.

Relationship & Recall not only pay into each other but are self-explanatory; Resilience is something lots of people overlook.

In a world where most pups are sadly poorly-bred, confidence must has to be built because it is not inherited.

Think about what situations you want your adult dog to be bombproof in, and start exposing your puppy to those situations now.

Please don’t wait until your puppy is ‘fully vaccinated’ to start safely showing them the world - those early weeks only happen once!

We have always taken our pups everywhere with us. We use their toys & daily food for training & play every day, and any insecurities are dealt with immediately.
This is exactly what we teach in our 1:1 puppy packages too.

Have you regretted not teaching your puppy something sooner rather than later?

If we had to choose between confining a dog to a l

If we had to choose between confining a dog to a long line forever or E collar training the dog, we’d choose E collar training every single time.

Dogs with challenging drives and/or behavioural traits deserve safe off-leash freedom too!

Our bestselling Remote Training Collar package is £795 and comes with the collar 👀

Congratulations to Adam on officially becoming a N

Congratulations to Adam on officially becoming a NePoPo® New Gold Graduate 🏆🥳

An intensive week of training centred around the art of bringing out the very best that a dog has to offer, creating an openness to learn, and a drive to carry out any task with passion.

If you think you already know everything about your profession, you only serve to shut yourself off from the opportunity to grow.

Over the 5 days of training we were fortunate enough to cover everything from how to get the best out of pet clients, behavioural modification, obedience, protection, and tracking.

A big thank you to Paul at Liberty K9 Training for running such a brilliant Gold School, and challenging us to become the best trainers we can be for ourselves, our dogs, and our clients.

Our recent silence is for a very good reason indeed - our miraculous baby boy Alexander Ernest Wilson joined us on the 17th of July at 9.04am
We are all besotted and we are thankfully all doing well.

Alexander will be running group classes & restocking the pate ASAP 😂👌🏻
