Bringing up a puppy can be frustrating and full of unexpected twists and turns. BUT there is NO reason to try and do it alone.
I became a dog trainer because I owned a “Naughty But Nice” dog…
Jazz, my first cockapoo, was so loving and attached to me I didn’t really notice the problems until they had really piled up…
Many of us have had a very unusual year and we have found ourselves working from home for months on end. This might be fantastic news for our dogs. But they are becoming unaccustomed to being left alone. and the reality is that there will be times we need to leave our dogs at home without us.
Here is some dog training inspiration and some explanations of how the style of dog training we deliver at Faithful Friends works... (and why it gets such real life results!)
Did you know that your dog’s gut bacteria health can have an impact on your training success?
If their gut bacteria is out of balance it affects their brain chemicals and this can mean that they are a little bit like a depressed human... Their get up and go got up and went! – Their ability to take on new learning is limited. Their ability to enjoy play is limited!
In this blog I thought I would take a moment to dispel some common dog training myths… and to give you a game for each myth to play with your dog and disprove it for yourself :)

What unprecedented times we live in! It can feel very scary to hear the news daily and perhaps it makes you feel completely unprepared as it is hard to know what we can do at this time other than stay home! And this means that we can take this strange new home based lifestyle and properly PREPARE our dogs for life after Covid19. We won’t leave our dogs unprepared!
