Today is National Rescue Dog Day 🥳 We train a Today is National Rescue Dog Day 🥳 We train a large amount of dogs who have been rescued at Valorant - we love all the success stories. We train just as many nervy dogs who have been purchased from a breeder as nervy dogs who have come from some sort of shelter, so rescue dog doesn’t necessarily mean poor temperament, especially not with the state of breeding nowadays 🙄 This is a friend’s dog Tyson - he’s going to be 16 in a few weeks! He’s in great condition and is a rescue success story. Show us your rescue dogs!
Does anyone else sometimes look at their supposedl Does anyone else sometimes look at their supposedly clever dog(s) and think…. Surely not? 😂😂
NOT OUR POST This is a screenshot This screensho NOT OUR POST This is a screenshot This screenshot tells you a lot about why the general public’s dogs are so out of control, why shelters are overflowing, why so many dogs are biting people - there is such a severe lack of understanding of dog body language that 44.4 thousand people think this post is funny! The dog isn’t ’smiling’ - he is resource guarding. He’s showing that he’s uncomfortable. 44.4K people have looked at this post and seen nothing wrong with it 🥴 Maybe they don’t think any form of reactivity/aggression is happening here cos the dog is a Golden Retriever and the ‘friendly breeds’ don’t show reactivity or aggression, right? Adam’s starting another reactive Golden Retriever package next week and we’ve done 2 residential stays for nervy Golden Retrievers charging at cyclists/joggers. Please educate those around you on correct dog body language. Teach your children to leave dogs alone when they’re eating or have toys. Tell people not to pet dogs without asking. At this point, I don’t care if you sound like an insufferable know-it-all!
Doing a DNA test can be a helpful way of learning Doing a DNA test can be a helpful way of learning more about your mixed-breed dog. Once you understand more about their genetics, you can understand more about their behaviour. There are only a couple of reputable DNA tests on the market though, so be careful! We also recommend you only take note of the majority breed(s) 🐕 A DNA test isn’t essential - we will do a full assessment of your dog on your first session without one. But it may provide useful background knowledge. For example, once you know your dog is mostly a breed which is very prey-driven, some of their behaviour might be explained and you will therefore have a clearer idea of what path to take with their training. Another example of when to purchase a DNA test would be if your dog’s breeder turned out to not be as reputable as you thought, leading you to wonder if your dog is the breed you were told you were buying!
We hear from new clients quite a lot that *insert We hear from new clients quite a lot that *insert name of shelter* told them that the dog they’ve just adopted was abused. Firstly, dog abuse definitely does exist - the perpetrators are evil and deserve a hefty prison sentence at best. We have seen abuse cases but they are few & far between. Secondly, poor breeding, neglect & lack of robust training arguably are abuse. But the majority of shelters are generally inexperienced with challenging dogs (I know, that sounds strange) and therefore cannot usually identify a dog that is simply a bag of nerves due to poor genetics. A dog flinching at human touch hasn’t necessarily been abused and a fear-reactive dog hasn’t necessarily been abused either. Poor genetics and/or lack of correct training are the biggest driving force of unwarranted fear, not abuse cases. A shelter is highly likely to tug on the heartstrings of a potential adopter in order to finalise that paperwork! Not all shelters do this and not all shelters are inexperienced with challenging dogs, but your nervous new rescue dog probably doesn’t like new people because of just that: nervousness. If that’s something you’re willing to take on, great 😃 That dog has a new start now. But you need to work with someone who will tell you the truth and who will train you in exactly the way your dog needs, not someone who pities, passes you a lick mat and not much else!

Love this review! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Daisy is one of many highly prey-driven, working dogs who previously were confined to life on a leash. Now she has full freedom on walks, and her family have peace of mind too. Another success story at Valorant 💪🏻 Valorant K9 Academy Working breeds, advanced obedience, reactivity & aggression, puppy foundations, prey drive, and more 📍 Durham
‘Working breeds need a lot of exercise’ Yes ‘Working breeds need a lot of exercise’ Yes they do! Arguably all dogs need & deserve lots of exercise. But what does a working breed really need? To work! Our dog Nina (pictured) is a working breed - she is also our most powerful, fast, athletic & energetic dog. Activities based on moving as fast as possible are her favourite! But she isn’t intentionally exercised any more than our other dogs. Working breeds REALLY need mental stimulation. They need a job. They need to WORK! Working is what a working breed was bred for - that probably sounds obvious to you, but sadly I do need to make that 100% clear on a daily basis at work 😂 If you continue to give your working breed (or any dog) more & more exercise in an attempt to tire them, you will simply make them fitter. That’s not dog training expertise - that’s common sense! There is nothing more tiring or enriching than mental stimulation. Whether it’s scent work, advanced obedience, trick training, anything - give your working dog a job (or at least a daily dose of mental work) and you will finally see them tired & fulfilled 👌🏻 Nina has plenty of time charging around, but she also does scent work (both tracking & detection) multiple times a week, as well as advanced obedience 🤓 Working breeds not only need to work, but they love to learn. Be the best teacher you can!
Massive massive thank you to @willowlandk9 for pet Massive massive thank you to @willowlandk9 for pet sitting our gang overnight! We highly recommend Hannah’s walks & pet sitting service, and how fab Bruce was able to enjoy the company of some new dogs too 🐾 We’re buzzing to have found someone who can take on all 3 of our girls, and in their own home too ☺️ Hannah is booked to have Panzer in June whilst we’re away for our wedding, and we know Panzer will be in great care! Thanks Hannah (and Bruce!) #structureddogwalking
