I know how frustrating it can be when:

- You take your puppy outside and then they come in and go to the toilet in the house
- They rip up their puppy pads rather than peeing on them
- They have one good day and then the next day they are peeing on the carpet again

In this episode I talk through some things not to do and also my quick fire blueprint for finally cracking your puppy's toilet training.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK and this episode is designed to honour this important week.

So many of us are so keen to do everything we can to make our dogs' lives the best that they can be....but so many of us also put ourselves at the end of the line when it comes to giving out care, and giving ourselves what we need....so that we can then be there for our dogs and other important figures in our lives.

In this episode I talk through some key things you can give yourself permission to do...today..... so that we can all enjoy better mental health.

If you are a regular listener of this podcast the chances are that you already train your dog force-free, or you are looking to learn more about it.

In that case, this episode is intended to give you the heads up about some commonly used terminology in the dog behaviour and training world that might seem benign, but can be disguising punishment based training methods.

Often we have high expectations of our dogs.  Expecting them to make sense of what we are asking from them, even though we can be quite confusing sometimes!

One of the key skills that makes things a little easier on your dog is your timing. If you can time things correctly it's easier for them to understand when they've done something right, so they can do more of it!

 It is also makes it less likely that you will reward the wrong things and accidentally reinforce behaviours that you aren't so keen on.

In this episode I talk through some fun little exercises that you can do, without your dog, to improve your timing :)
