Rewards Dog Training

Sara Bridgeman at Rewards Dog Training is a Holistic Behaviourist and Royal Kennel Club Accredited Dog Trainer with over 15 years experience. “I take a view of training which includes nutrition, environment and lifestyle to help your dog learn and to build harmony with their owners.  My training includes behaviour work as this often impacts how the dog learns and why they do what they do – I don’t distinguish between the two.  I run group puppy classes, home training and social sessions.  I also have a The Rewards Ringcraft club where I help owners to learn about how to show their dogs in a relaxed and positive way.”  In addition to these sessions, Rewards Dog Training also provides specialized training for dogs with behavioural issues – they emphasize positive reinforcement techniques and tailor their approach to the specific needs of each dog and owner​

Dogfriendly.social

DogFriendly.Social (DFS) was established in 2018 with a clear objective: to enhance awareness between businesses and dog owners. Their mission is to help both dog owners and dog-friendly businesses find each other in the UK.
For dog owners, locating welcoming spots like cafes, bars, or even boutique strolls can be challenging without knowing which places are dog-friendly, even more so when you are on holiday or relocating to a new area. Similarly, businesses that welcome dogs may miss out on potential customers due to dog owners not knowing they can bring their four-legged besties in with them.
DogFriendly.Social’s goal is to bridge that gap and connect dog owners and businesses, and best of all, it’s FREE!
DogFriendly.Social’s localised town groups sticker locations are quickly growing in numbers with plans to expand the sticker scheme across the whole of the UK, as well as a fully functioning website with full lists of all participating businesses and locations so you can quickly find dog-friendly businesses in advance.
For more information, or if you want to become an ambassador in your area, please visit https://www.dogfriendly.social/ or you can contact them at info@dogfriendly.social

ZenDeLou

ZenDeLou – Helping you help your anxious animal to be calm

Are you a dog parent with an anxious or over-excited pet?

  • Do you feel frustrated with the challenge of trying to help them, or feel helpless in not being able to fully understand their anxiety?
  • Are you feeling worried or stressed at the thought of walking your dog because you constantly have to avoid other dogs/people? Or exhausted from your dog pulling on the lead all the time?
  • Do they become fearful and/or reactive when they see other dogs or particular things?
  • Are you seeing signs of stress when you have to leave your dog or when they hear loud noises?
  • Would you like to be able to calm your animal in these scenarios? Or learn how you can assist your animal family member and ultimately help them through their anxieties so they no longer feel like this?

If so, I can help!

As a Trust Technique Practitioner, I can teach you how to enhance your relationship with your dog, building trust and confidence within them. You will develop better communication and be able to take them from anxious/stressed/over-excited to calm and peaceful.  During a tailored consultation, I assess your pet in their environment and introduce them to the Technique. I teach you how to use it, then guide you through practising with your animal.  At the end of the consultation, we’ll create a custom plan of next steps, including how to practice, and what happens during the bespoke follow up sessions. Your dog will already be benefiting from this introduction and you will likely see a change the same day.

I am based in County Durham but happy to travel (travel costs may apply). If you are too far away or have a particularly nervous dog that struggles with visitors, I can also teach you via Zoom, providing I can see your dog on camera (please feel free to ask me if you are not sure this is possible).  It brings me great joy to see both animals and their humans experiencing the benefits of this method, such as peace of mind and enhanced shared experiences.  My priorities as a practitioner are your animal’s needs and providing you with all the support you need to help them with anything they struggle with.  If you are ready to start helping your dog find peace, please contact me.

You can see more about ZenDeLou, including the packages offered, and contact Lou via various methods as listed here https://zendelou.co.uk/#home  https://linktr.ee/zendelou or book a no obligation, free 15min call directly here: https://tidycal.com/zendelou/15min-pre-cons

Alexandra’s Practically Pawfect

I’m Alexandra and I am a professional dog trainer, dog walker and house (pet) sitter based in Bexley, Kent.  I’ve been involved with dogs and dog training since I was young. Alexandra’s Practically Pawfect came into being in 2014. Shortly after Rio, one of my Papillons, came to live with us from rescue – he was 21 months old and we were his fifth home by that point. At the time he was reactive to pretty much everything – dogs, people, new things in the environment and wildlife, to name but a few and had no recall.  Rio, my other dogs, a variety of courses and hands on experience over the years, have all taught me so much about dog behaviour, particularly reactivity. Also, how stressful it can be for both the humans and dogs involved and how to help.  I am a positive reinforcement trainer who specialises in reactivity and recall. In addition to this I am a Scentwork UK trainer and have a passion for trick training as well. I incorporate both scentwork and trick training in many different ways as they can be very helpful with a variety of behaviour struggles.  I know that everyone and their pets’ needs will be different. That is why everything I offer is bespoke and designed to suit what is needed including: Bespoke in person training options (on a one-to-one basis), online training options, solo or small group dog walks, in house visits or pet sitting.
