Just a quickie … Of course, every dog is different, but as the owner of a ‘visually sensitive’ breed, I’m very much aware that the advent of people wearing face masks is something our dogs will need to cope with. So, sewing machine… suitable camo fabric…
Thought for the day – theory versus practice The Theory Behaviours that have been taught have been brought under the owner’s control simply by putting them on cue. What this means is that in the initial stages of training, the handler refrains from putting a
Ever regretted training your dog to perform a specific task or trick? Now, before you say it, I know that in theory the dog should never offer the behaviour once it’s under ‘stimulus control’ unless you ask for it, but real life and theory don’t always
The credit crunch, global recession, bad news on the TV, too much work, not enough time… we all experience stress, don’t we? As humans, we know all too well what the symptoms can feel like – and how it can make us behave. What causes dogs
No, this isn’t a reference to the fact that when most of us are on Facebook there are a hundred other things we ought to be doing instead… it’s my thoughts on dogs that are frequently and regularly walked in a group…. Social dogs enjoy interacting with other
The baby gate. Does anyone apart from dog owners buy these? Baby gates are wonderful because they allow access, whilst offering a physical barrier to give safety or simply restriction. OK, I appreciate that these contraptions may be slightly annoying for humans because they often require
Ah, Christmas. The time of year when friends send cards and… the inevitable Christmas letter… Now, you know the type of thing I mean. Their son just graduated with flying colours at the age of 12, their darling daughter just passed grade 6 on the flute
When stress isn’t stressful Much is now written about stress in dogs – in fact it has become a bit of a trend for dog trainers to be told that dogs should be greeted sideways on, with narrowed eyes and a substantial amount of lip licking. The idea
Ah, the joys of modern technology. OK, I know that it drives us crazy when it doesn’t work, but when it does, well… it opens up whole new avenues for study and research in the arena of canine behaviour. For many years, I have videoed dogs
There’s little doubt that most of us could do more of it – training that is! Trying to juggle dog training in with the rest of daily life can be quite a task, especially in a busy household where there are literally hundreds of other factors

The 21 Days to a Clever Dog Programme has taken 2 years’ of creation to bring to life, and has been described “the best thing Sarah has ever produced for pet owners and their dogs”.
This project has been a personal goal of Sarah’s for some time, as she has such strong feelings for providing not just the best training for new puppies, but also for older dogs and rescues.
Dogs who perhaps haven’t had the best start, or maybe have been in the background of busy family life and are at times a little tricky – these are the dogs this programme was made for.
With the 21 Days to a Clever Dog Programme, it’s their time to shine.
Unlike traditional canine training programmes, this course doesn’t do the boring basics, in fact we have torn up the training rule book to give you the most effective, proven methods to train your dog swiftly whilst ensuring you both have fun in the process! It’s really unique!

Curious about the ThinkDog! Practical course?
I don`t want to take up your time, but what I would say is that people genuinely tell me time and time again that the course changed their outlook and practical skills, forever!
This course is designed to give you:
✅ Access to in-depth, applicable, behavioural knowledge, that you won`t get anywhere else
✅ Practical hands-on training skills - the `walking on lead` tuition is worth the course fee in itself! (It`s sooo simple and effective, when you know how!)
✅ Confidence in yourself to do the work! That`s my mojo right there.
