 Does your dog bark from the window?
Having a dog is so much fun and super rewarding, you have a companion who loves you unconditionally and you have great times together. However we need to also be mindful that the dog is a separate species to humans and they have their own wants and needs. Sometimes this can cause conflict and many people feel frustrated and upset when their dog gives an unwanted behavior such as barking from the window. Not only can this be frustrating for guardians but can also be a cause for worry in the UK if a neighbour puts in a complaint. Training is super effective, fun and long lasting, but also takes time, dedication, patience and lots of repetition. To manage both working, personal routines and your dog(s) sometimes we have to look to management for effective control of the environment. This means that you can train within a controlled environment when you have time to do so and be 100% focused on your dog. Management is not a bad thing, management enables you to love harmoniously, set your dog up to succeed and you to be able to relax. One form of management can look like self adhesive window film, which reduces the opportunity for your dog to rehearse barking which can be self rewarding from the window. If they cannot see visual triggers this can greatly reduce barking, as well as saving blinds and curtains from damage. Some dogs can enjoy visual enrichment peacefully such as watching out of the window quietly but for some dogs this is just too stressful. If you don't have time to train daily or can monitor when your dog has access to the window, try window film to reduce their stress and yours and to enable you to train when you can in a controlled way!

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 to meet uo and build on friendships from Classes or One to Ones. 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 within Social Media Platforms.
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 3 years ago I had a mad idea and set up the 100 days of dog training challenge. 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 this year 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 again yes this group is free. It is still primarily for clients and for people to get to know me but we also have the challenge running. Again for free. So if you want to join click the image below to be taken to the group directly. See you there!
