We hear from new clients quite a lot that *insert We hear from new clients quite a lot that *insert name of shelter* told them that the dog they’ve just adopted was abused. 

Firstly, dog abuse definitely does exist - the perpetrators are evil and deserve a hefty prison sentence at best. We have seen abuse cases but they are few & far between. 

Secondly, poor breeding, neglect & lack of robust training arguably are abuse. 

But the majority of shelters are generally inexperienced with challenging dogs (I know, that sounds strange) and therefore cannot usually identify a dog that is simply a bag of nerves due to poor genetics. 

A dog flinching at human touch hasn’t necessarily been abused and a fear-reactive dog hasn’t necessarily been abused either. 

Poor genetics and/or lack of correct training are the biggest driving force of unwarranted fear, not abuse cases. 

A shelter is highly likely to tug on the heartstrings of a potential adopter in order to finalise that paperwork! Not all shelters do this and not all shelters are inexperienced with challenging dogs, but your nervous new rescue dog probably doesn’t like new people because of just that: nervousness. 

If that’s something you’re willing to take on, great 😃
That dog has a new start now. But you need to work with someone who will tell you the truth and who will train you in exactly the way your dog needs, not someone who pities, passes you a lick mat and not much else! 

Look no further.

Love this review! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Daisy is one of many highly prey-driven, working dogs who previously were confined to life on a leash. 

Now she has full freedom on walks, and her family have peace of mind too. 

Another success story at Valorant 💪🏻

‘Working breeds need a lot of exercise’ Yes ‘Working breeds need a lot of exercise’ 

Yes they do! Arguably all dogs need & deserve lots of exercise. 

But what does a working breed really need? To work! 

Our dog Nina (pictured) is a working breed - she is also our most powerful, fast, athletic & energetic dog. Activities based on moving as fast as possible are her favourite! 

But she isn’t intentionally exercised any more than our other dogs. 

Working breeds REALLY need mental stimulation. They need a job. They need to WORK! 

Working is what a working breed was bred for - that probably sounds obvious to you, but sadly I do need to make that 100% clear on a daily basis at work 😂 

If you continue to give your working breed (or any dog) more & more exercise in an attempt to tire them, you will simply make them fitter. That’s not dog training expertise - that’s common sense! 

There is nothing more tiring or enriching than mental stimulation. Whether it’s scent work, advanced obedience, trick training, anything - give your working dog a job (or at least a daily dose of mental work) and you will finally see them tired & fulfilled 👌🏻 

Nina has plenty of time charging around, but she also does scent work (both tracking & detection) multiple times a week, as well as advanced obedience 🤓 

Working breeds not only need to work, but they love to learn. Be the best teacher you can!
Massive massive thank you to @willowlandk9 for pet Massive massive thank you to @willowlandk9 for pet sitting our gang overnight! 

We highly recommend Hannah’s walks & pet sitting service, and how fab Bruce was able to enjoy the company of some new dogs too 🐾 

We’re buzzing to have found someone who can take on all 3 of our girls, and in their own home too ☺️

Hannah is booked to have Panzer in June whilst we’re away for our wedding, and we know Panzer will be in great care! 

Thanks Hannah (and Bruce!) #structureddogwalking
I heard something on the train today which I have I heard something on the train today which I have to share because I think a lot of you will relate to it. 

A woman was saying her dog doesn’t react at all on walks with her, but is explosively reactive on every single walk with her husband, to the point that the dog even redirects. 

The blunt truth is that the dog probably does display a bit of reactivity with her too, but I don’t doubt there is a huge difference in behaviour. 

Perhaps the dog feels more relaxed with the woman than the man in this case, and this could be because the woman’s general handling is better so the dog feels calmer. Boundaries do make a dog feel calmer 😃 

Some of you report your dog always behaves better with us than you. 

This shows the importance of YOUR new skills on the behavioural modification journey with your dog. Dogs form strong associations with certain people, so we need to be clear & consistent from day 1 when you start working with us to undo previous associations. 

In fact, we don’t really teach your dog in 1:1 lessons - we teach you how to teach your dog!

Edit: this was on a walk with the lovely Dolly of @dynamic_duo_dog_training 🐾

Yes, training 2 dogs to walk nicely together is ha Yes, training 2 dogs to walk nicely together is harder than one, but it can be done!
2 German Shepherds, 2 totally different personalit 2 German Shepherds, 2 totally different personalities! 

Don’t assume your dog will be the same as another dog of a particular breed - genetics, past experiences, standard of training & quality of life all play a bigger part collectively than what breed you have. 

We hear lots of ‘we’ve had Airedales before but never one like this’ or ‘my last Dachshund wasn’t like this’ - what can we say except they’re literally different dogs? 😅 

Look at the dog in front of you - no one else 🐕
