Walking is one of the joys of having a dog. Wandering along in your own little bubble, chatting away to each other and coming home pleasantly tired and happy. Everyone should enjoy their dog walks and we’d love to help you enjoy yours.
We take a long hard look at the different type of dog collars available and how using some types will adversely affect your dog’s health and behaviour. Choke chain and prong & shock collars and their modern cousins, the e-collars, are fear-creating and pain-based devices have no place in 21st century dog training.
Owning a dog should be a joy. And to achieve that, you need to understand the secret of training your dog easily, quickly, and successfully. The secret is: a great relationship – between you and your dog and between your dog and you.
Your dog will respond to how you treat them and if you give them lots of attention on a walk then they’re much more like to come back to you when you call them
Nothing gets my goat as much as people who can’t or won’t control their dog: it’s totally unacceptable to allow your dog to run up to another dog unless you have first checked with the owner that they are happy for the dogs to meet
In this week’s doggy advice video we chat about how much exercise your dog really needs and that the common idea of walking your dog until their tired is not true – and may even damage your dog.
Dog walking needn’t be a chore if you can teach your dog how to have a loose lead walk. Our Wonderful Walkies Masterclass involves a series of games to show you how to help your pup understand how to walk nicely with you – and how you can best reward your pup for doing just that.
We talk about taking pride in your dog training achievements – there’s no better feeling than your dog whipping round and charging back to you when you call and feeling the envy from other dog owners!
Does your dog come back when you call them, first time, every time? If you’re sheepishly answering ‘no’, then we can teach you the secret that underpins a great recall using games and our special formula!
