As promised, I am starting to drop some resources for you. This one is simple. It is there to help you achieve a goal. Use the template to make notes, see what is working, and see what might need adapting. As always, reach out if you need anything.

Morning everyone, So this is a bit of a longer video than I usually do, but it's something that massively divides the dog training world, and something I am passionate about shouting about. It follows on from a conversation with a new customer yesterday about their training needs for their 2 year old dog. It is a bit of a controversial topic in the dog world, and it is a bit heavy for a Friday morning, so apologies for that element, but what I won't do is sit back and allow dogs to be treated in this way without shouting about the importance of science based evidence when it comes to training. Hope you enjoy.

When I was writing up some resources (which will be dropping very soon) it made me think about I learn, and how other humans learn. Making notes, reading them, re-reading them again, its repetition until it sticks right? That's the same as dog training. Keep repeating things, once your dog has got it, keep reinforcing it so they continue to know its good stuff to keep in the memory bank.

So after my video yesterday, I thought we would bring some fun and laughter to SKOOL on a Saturday night, so hit me with your funniest picture of your dogs, or one that just makes you smile and has a thousand memories. I miss my big boy so much, we nicknamed him Eeyore as he was such a plodder. Here he is with his brother “helping” him stay in a down.

I just wanted to reach out to you amazing SKOOLERS and say that if you are happy and confident to share what you're working on in the group, please do feel free to do so. Whether this is a picture, a video or a general sentence of what's been happening. You might be working on something that someone else is too, and it might just motivate them and refocus them if they're feeling stuck etc. Our SKOOL is a safe place, so share, share and share some more!
