*Stop press* Dogs are not born with the innate skill to understand English 🐶. Joking apart, when learning new behaviours, they first learn by visual and olfactory cues, eg they follow our hands or their noses. The word association may (or may not) follow later. Hence, we trainers say, Don’t name it till you love it!
PS How awesome are these live fMRI studies?!

Whether you are training for behaviour modification, reliable responses to obedience cues, life skills, competitive sports or fun tricks, shaping is the no. 1 training skill you'll need. Here is an excellent blog by Ken Ramirez dispelling the misconceptions about shaping.

Great blog from Hannah, Horsham Puppy School.

And ... The amount of force used to train a dog is inversely proportional to the amount of skill the dog can develop. The more force, the less skilled. The less force, the more skilled.

Today Poppy had a beach date with Crunchie. The two girls did lots of physio (formerly known as splashing about 🙂). They also chased each other and a few boisterous Labs, and were incredibly good whilst their mummies had a bite to eat and a catch-up at The Perch. Poppy was so exhausted afterwards we had to carry her to the car, but boy did she enjoy herself!

These researchers really need to meet Hippo - He’ll give them plenty of strong evidence .... experimental or real 🧟‍♂️! Do you believe your dogs can feel and act jealous?

This article is a good summary of how to help fearful dogs. For further reading see Marty Becker's "From Fearful to Fear Free" a truly great resource for all dog owners.

Mucky pup Pops on Ferring Beach. The idea was to go wading (good physio) but she was only just about brave enough to get her paws wet 😂. She did really enjoy meeting her new mate Maisie (seen in the background).

Odette is one of the kindest and loveliest person I know. Her knowledge about dogs behaviours and understanding are second to none. It's a real pleasure to be in her company and her approach and attitude with dogs is one of the best. I would happily recommend Odette anytime.

Odette is brilliantly patient and knowledgeable. I have really enjoyed our training and learnt some fabulous tips, especially with raising a puppy in a household of 4 kids! Thank you so much x
