Lead Walking!!!

One of the biggest issues I come across as a dog trainer is pulling on the lead!

Well here are some of my top tips….get ready!

🐶First thing get a good lead! Not a tiny short one & not a super long one….6ft is perfect! It’s the Goldilocks of leads for me!

🐶When your dog pulls - get ready for this - STOP!

🐶Most of us keep walking, looking like superman arm outstretched, cursing our dog because we feel our arm is coming out of our socket!

🐶Don’t call them..don’t pull back on the lead - just stand there & WAIT!

🐶When your dog comes back towards you, so turns back in to you then & only then move forward

🐶The longer your dog has pulled the more of a habit this becomes, the longer the habit the harder to break so this takes time & patience!

🐶One of my biggest tip- Most dogs are more chilled on the walk back home so for 2 weeks suck up the pulling to the park etc BUT on the way home practice the above!

🐶Now the biggie!!! When your dog is walking beside you or at a level YOU like - reward that behaviour with something yummy!!

🐶The more dogs get rewarded for the stuff we like them doing the more they do that behaviour!

Now I have LOTS more tips for loose lead but I can’t give them all away so if you would more info contact me for some 121 training for you & your dog!

Good Luck!!

That’s a wrap for 2023!

Some changes made, 2023 has been a rough year business wise, no point in lying about saying it’s been amazing!
It hasn’t!!
It’s probably been the toughest year since I started, it’s terrifying & anxiety inducing all at the same time!

The change in the economy has a knock on effect to small businesses & especially ones that sometimes don’t feel like a necessity to people.

In saying that we’ve made it through!
Hoping 2024 is brighter & better.

Thinking of the beloved dogs that crossed Rainbow Bridge this year, especially thinking of my own beautiful Maggie who inspired me to be a dog trainer.

No idea what 2024 holds!

I would like to Thank all my wonderful clients for yet again trusting me with your dogs & allowing me into your homes & family.

It’s a privilege to be allowed to do this job & I am forever grateful.

Have a fantastic Christmas everyone & here’s to an amazing new year!
Love Rox

Honest to God! There are moments I am jealous of my dogs!
