Consent
One of the things that annoys me and saddens me the most is lack of consent. Viral videos of dogs being put into the most horrible situations and people liking, commenting and sharing their content. But… What if consent videos become viral and the norm? Where we hold adults accountable for their behaviour. We focus on children, not respecting dog boundaries but what I see is a lot of adults not respecting dog boundaries. Plus who is filming the child? Instead of withdrawing from social media, which is needed on occasion when emotional buckets become full, what about changing the narrative? This isn't just for professionals but for everyone, whether you're a dog guardian or dog professional. Dogs can and do consent to being touched, even the most sweet tempered dogs who are super cuddly and fussy. We all need a break sometimes and want space. Dogs deserve this too and this level of respect. Humans put lots of boundaries in place for dogs but what about boundaries the dogs have for humans? https://youtu.be/Vf4x9eLjYDk

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!!
