Buckinghamshire Dog Training

We hope you are all surviving the inferno that we are calling British weather right now.
Apologies to one and on for the repeated cancellations. There really isn’t much to be done about it and we can only apologise for doing so, but I am sure you can all appreciate why we have had to keep letting you all down.
Incidentally, if anyone fancies joining Natalia, the dogs and I in a rain dance, we are all getting a bit desperate 🤣

Hopefully see you all very soon!

Here we go again... 😫
It is set to hit the mid 30's once more during this coming week and so as you would expect of us by now, most of our services will need to be postponed until it is safer temperatures.
We may be able to rearrange some bookings to very early morning times, but I am very aware that this isn't that useful to those of you that have a substantial journey to get to us. Sorry everyone! Hopefully it cools down again soon.

One of our clients has needed to rearranged their booked dates so we have been able to move a few others forward. This means that we have some unexpected space for intensive training in October and November.

Whether you have a reactive or fearful dog, a dog that won't recall reliably or chases other animals, a dog that drags you around on lead, doesn't listen or can't settle quietly in public, we can help.

A quick reminder on the dates that we will be unavailable for 121s, calls or any additional intensive training days.

- Natalia will be on annual leave from 24th July to 9th of August

- Kat will be on Annual leave from 16th to 23rd of August

See you all soon!

Out with dogs early to beat the heat and get the training done whilst we can.

Yet again, please bear with us whilst it gets hot (yet again) as it is likely we are going to have to put a hold on a lot of our services and those we can accomodate will be very early doors.

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING TRAINING DURING THE UPCOMING HEATWAVE

We will temporarily be putting our services on hold during the worst of the heat that is coming up.
I know this can be frustrating and we will of course reschedule you ASAP, but we are not prepared to take risks of any sort in 30+ degree heat.

We will see you all again and crack back on once the temperatures are tolerable again.

Stay cool, stay safe and always remember that if you have any suspicion of heat exhaustion/heat stroke, think "wet, then vet".
Immediately soak your dog in cold water, do not cover them in a wet towel but do lie them down on one if you cannot keep them drenched and ring your vets to let them know that you are on your way with a heat injured dog.

Congratulations to beautiful Astro the Sprocker who is officially an offlead dog!
Still some bits to work on, but he is rapidly earning his stripes and proving himself at every turn.
He is blessed with superb owners who put in the work and apply what they're taught with genuine enthusiasm.
He is a rather challenging fellow and is very, very lucky that he landed with them.

Welcome to the start of the rest of your lofe, Astro!

Look at this handsome dude!
Today we have been working on lead manners and settling in public. His owners are awesome and have clearly been putting in the graft. He is a total dude.

(Kingshill area, Bucks and Witney area, Oxon).

Well worth travelling for (and many do!) our hugely successful, respected and innovative part-time intensive training days are the perfect alternative to sending your dog away for full residential training.
As always, we make sure to include the training you need as well as just training your dog. After all, this training needs to stick forever and be easy to maintain.

This part time training option is superb and long proven for:

✅️ Reactivity*
✅️ Lead pulling
✅️ Truly reliable recall even when faced with big distractions
✅️ Settling calmly in public
✅️ Dangerous predatory behaviours (sheep, or deer chasing/killing for example)
✅️ General manners and obedience
✅️ Neutrality and manners around other dogs and safe socialisation
✅️ Confidence building
✅️ ...And more!

Usually run as a block of 10 x four-hour long sessions that we spread across between 6 and 10 weeks, with length of sessions and frequency being determined by your dogs energy and drive level as well as age (and your convenience).

Reward-centric, realistic approach that meets your dog where they're at and provides clarity, consistency, results that work, as well as the all-important care for their welfare.

Please contact us (preferably via whatsapp as we are usually covered in mud and concentrating on the dogs we are already working with) and we will get back to you as soon as we are back home and dry!

* Please note: Whilst we welcome even explosively reactive dogs with open arms for our ITDs, they are not suitable for truly aggressive dogs that will bite with serious intent to cause damage.
Please contact us if you have a dog like this and we can discuss other, better options.
