 Many of us have seen this picture floating around Facebook etc for the last couple of years... on first appearance it's funny. Memes are funny that's the point. Tonight at class people were saying to me about people seeing their Dogs as cute and encouraging them to jump up. You have to guide people. Stand tall and say no please don't encourage my Dog to jump up. No thankyou please don't give my Dogs treats. It is humans who encourage this behaviour. And we as their owners need to back our Dogs up. We need to help them out. They don't know to automatically not jump up at people nor do they know when it is OK and not OK to jump up unless we guide them. We cannot expect or assume behaviours from our Dogs. First we must help them out to encourage them in their training and to gain desired behaviours from them. If we don't have their backs the Dogs aren't to blame 🐶

Or are you looking for support and would like to get to know us better?
If the answer is yes then click the image below to join my free facebook group. What is Mutts & Mischief Community?
So it is what it says on the tin! Its a community that is international of clients and colleagues with the most supportive and friendly people on the planet. Dog Trainers and behaviourists from all over the world!
Why did I set up such a mammoth group?
I wanted to have a group exclusively for clients. For support and build on friendships from classes or individual consults. I want clients to see you are not alone with your dog and the problem you maybe having that you are not the first and won't be the last! I wanted a safe place where clients could trade stories good and bad in one place for free!
I also wanted a safe place for the trainers and behaviourists I mentor too.
Why do this for free?
Because when I say I offer an holistic service I really do. It isn't about the money it is about you and your dogs. You and your dogs are all that matter.
So I wanted to encourage people to do homework and build better quality relationships with their dogs. So 5 years ago I had a mad idea and set up the 100 days of dog training challenge in 2019. Once a day people would spend 5 minutes plus training their dog. Recording it and uploading their video onto the community. Every participant recieved a certificate.
What I didn't count on was how many professionals wanted to join and how fast word would spread. So in 2020 I set up a 366 days of dog training challenge.
We have clients in America, Greece, Norway, Denmark and Spain. We have Trainers from Greece, Norway, Isle of Wight, America and many more countries. As well as dog trainers and trainee behaviourists: I mentor all over the world.
So yes this group is free. It is still primarily for clients and for people to get to know me but we now have Pawsitive Wednesdays running, where I share a narrated free video tutorial for you to try with your dog and all are welcome to upload their video to the group for support from members!
What are you waiting for? Come and join us!!
