I’m really not one for rules, but these are definitely my non-negotiables when it comes to safety. 

I always like to take the approach of identifying each dog’s needs and addressing them individually, but when it comes to safety specifically I do have my set rules that I don’t tend to waver from. 

So this list isn’t meant to be a “do these things and your dog will be happy” - in fact far from it. These are just the absolute bare minimum things I would do to make sure that your dog and everyone around you is safe.

And for these, I would stick to them no matter how well trained a dog is. We don’t exist in vacuum, we live in communities where there are other people dogs and animals around us and if we all looked out for each other, the world would be a much better place.

So let me know whether you agree or disagree and if there are any non-negotiables you would include that I’ve missed! 2025-10-10 00:56:14 I’m reall.. 560 +108% 22 +42%
This short clip shows about an hours worth of training, but hopefully you can see just how well Jack is doing. 

During the adolescent phase, dogs need consistency, which is hard to do in a shelter environment, so I’m hoping someone sees just how amazing Jack is and offers him a home! 

If you think Kathy could be you, please contact Cheshire Dogs Home otherwise I’d be super grateful if you could share this post to help get eyes on Jack!

One if the best things you can do for your adolescent dog, is focus on building value in you. In other words we want to show our dogs that it’s worthwhile paying attention to us. 

Remember at this age our dog is going to start seeking reinforcement from everywhere else, so if we stop being interesting, our dog learns that we are the lowest priority thing in the environment. 

When I work with dogs around this age (six months to 2 years old) I like to use the time that would normally be allocated to a walk, to go out and practice these things. 

It can feel a bit weird to start with, especially when you’re used to just doing normal walks. But it’s so worth investing the time now. Remember adolescence is a key developmental phase, so the more ground work we do during this age easier their adult life is going to be.

If you want to learn more about how to set your teenage dog up for life, I’m running a workshop this November on Overcoming Reactivity in Adolescent Dogs. This workshop is designed to both teach you how to prevent reactivity and address reactivity that’s already developed including:

🐶 Barking
🐶 Lunging 
🐶 Having to say hi to every dog 
🐶 Stopping and dropping to the floor
🐶 Staring and fixating
🐶 Refusing to listen around dogs

I’ll cover a training plan start to finish so that you walk away feeling confident in your ability to train your dog throughout their adolescent phase to set them up for life. Just comment TEENAGE and I’ll DM you the details! 2025-10-05 14:40:58 .. 207 -23% 19 +22%

The truth is, training doesn’t happen in an hour. It happens when you repeat the same the thing over and over again. Remember, we’re building habits, not doing a one time training exercise to fix everything!

It’s always tough when you have a dog that’s so lovely but has “naughty” habits that prevent people from seeing who they really are.

Jack is exactly one of these dogs. He’s sweet, friendly, easy to train but unfortunately because of his jumping and mouthing it’s hard for potential adopters to get past. 

He’s been in the shelter since he was a puppy and he’s already been adopted out and returned once, so I’m making it my mission to help him with his behaviour so that people can see him for the wonderful dog that he is. 

If you can offer him a home contact Cheshire Dogs Home and don’t forget to hit follow to stay posted with Jack’s story. 2025-10-02 22:20:09 It’.. 356 +32% 11 -29%
Frustration reactivity is one of the most common behavioural issues I see. It can develop at any time, but most commonly I see the early signs during the adolescent phase. It’s a key developmental phase for dogs and what they reinforce during this time tends to really solidify into adulthood.

That’s why I’m always advocating for prevention training. When we set our dogs up right in adolescence, we save ourselves a lot of stress in the long term.

Whether you’re already seeing early warning signs, or have a puppy and want to learn how to prevent reactivity in advance, starting training as soon as you can is key. Remember that dogs don’t grow out of behaviours, they grow into them.

I’m about to launch another date for my best selling, Overcoming Reactivity in Adolescent Dogs workshop - designed to give you a complete training plan for your adolescent dog, with a focus on addressing and preventing reactivity.

If your dog is 2 or younger and barks, lunges, struggles to pass dogs without pulling to say hi, stopping and staring or any of the above behaviours, you’ll want to be there.

I invested a lot of time last year into a relocation to the U.S. - to be with my family - and while I won’t go into the details, it became clear earlier this year that it was no longer feasible to relocate full time.

It was a really hard thing to come to terms to. All that energy and work and the life I envisioned didn’t quite come together. But honestly I’m so grateful for how things have turned out.

And the hard work did pay off, I got the visa I worked so hard for, I can travel back and forth and grow my business in the US. It’s just always funny when your life doesn’t quite look how you expected it to. And to be totally honest I’m still picking up the pieces in my business from all the pivoting in preparation for moving and then pivoting again after deciding to stay.

But that’s the beautiful thing about life I guess. As I get older (and continue to re-watch how I met your mother over and over again) I remind myself that life isn’t something you can plan, you just have to live it. And it’s easy to miss the great stuff when you’re focusing on a life that never existed in the first place.

It’s been a struggle at times, but I look around me and I see so much love, so many amazing people, memories I’ll hold onto forever and experiences I never could’ve had otherwise.

So here’s to anyone who isn’t quite where they thought they’d be. 2025-09-29 21:27:27 .. 908 +237% 27 +74%

Reactivity prevention is a HUGE part of my training plans for adolescent dogs (roughly 6 months to 2 years old) and here’s why! 

During the adolescent phase dogs have a huge boost of hormone (even if they’re neutered) that drive them to be more interested in the environment - including other dogs.

When we don’t plan this into training, our dogs can start reinforcing behaviours like fixation, stopping and dropping or even just pulling to get to other dogs. When we don’t have a plan in place for this, the frustration can build and these simply harmless behaviours can quickly turn into barking and lunging.

In my Overcoming Reactivity in Adolescent Dogs Workshop, we address both prevention of reactivity AND addressing reactivity that’s already developed during this time. So if you have a dog in their teenage phase you’ll definitely want to jump on it! 

This workshop is usually sold out, but I’m releasing new dates really soon! If you’d like to register your interest comment TEENAGE and I’ll send you the form!

Adolescence is a tricky time for dogs! Even more so for dogs like Jack who missed their puppy training! 

Regression is super common and we even see things like reactivity starting to develop around this time. That’s why I always stress that it’s such a key training phase for dogs. 

If you’re struggling with your teenage dog, you’ll definitely want to follow along - I’ll be sharing loads of tips and tricks and will be sharing Jack’s journey too, so you can see how training looks!

I’m heading back to spend time with Jack next week and if you feel like you could offer him a home and continue his training, contact Cheshire Dogs Home! 2025-09-28 00:16:21 Adolescence.. 27 -90% 1 -94%
Jack is the loveliest boy - he was found as a stray when he was just a puppy and is now going through his teenage phase, which is always a challenge, let alone when they’re growing up in a shelter environment!

He picked up training so fast and just needs some guidance to get him settled! With the right family he would be absolutely amazing so I’m going to be spending some time with him to get the basics nailed!

I remember when I started training my first dog and I felt so bad all the time. In all the videos I was watching, I could see changes almost immediately, but when I did it, it never happened that fast. 

The truth is, real training takes time. It’s easy to film a 90 second video with tips and tricks and even though these videos are well meaning, it’s easy for pet parents to walk away feeling bad that they’re not seeing progress that quickly.

There are a lot of layers to training that you often don’t see. For example, seeing a dog stop pulling in one session, doesn’t mean problem solved. They then have to generalise that to every time you leave the house and every different place you train beyond the front of your house, or the park. 

When I say training takes consistency, I don’t mean you have to be up at the crack of dawn, every day, training your dog.  Just have to keep repeating the same messages to your dog so that they realise what works, what’s reinforcing and what doesn’t work. 

If you’re tired of trying tips and tricks and not seeing results, you might be interested in my online membership (Amelia’s Training Hub). The courses are designed to help you make small changes to your routine that add up overtime to give real, lasting results. It’s also community based so you can send in your videos, get support when you need it and join live sessions.

We’ve all heard the advice “just stop and turn when your dog pulls on the lead” and sure it might work for some dogs. But the issue with this advice is that it skips pretty much every skill you need to build lasting leash skills AND it never actually teaches your dog what you want them to do.

We often overcomplicate training when we separate out all of our issues but did you know that most of the skills you need for good behaviour on walks are rooted in the same thing. 

Loose lead, recall, engagement and even reactivity training have a lot of the same foundations. So why give yourself a million training plans when you can just have one that addresses all of these things! 

That’s exactly what you grow in my 30 Day Loose Lead Course. Not only does it teach you to stop your dog from pulling, it also walks you through the skills you need for all round calm and fun walks!

I’m Amelia, It’s nice to meet you! 

I started my journey back in 2018 when I brought home a puppy and realised how overwhelming and confusing the dog training industry is. 

If you’re like me and you get tired of all the judgement and discourse in dog training, I’m trying to build a little corner of the industry where kindness takes priority and being kind to people is as important as being kind to dogs.

First of all not every dog will enjoy or benefit from coming out with you so it’s definitely worth thinking about whether this will add to their life or add more frustration and stress! 

If you do want to start training here’s what you need to do: 

1) Work on distraction training first - if your dog can’t exist around people, dogs and noises outside of these spaces, they’ll struggle when it comes to settle training. Not sure how to do this, try my 30 Day Loose Lead Course - it teaches you all the skills you’ll need for this! 

2) Introduce your settling behaviours - you might want to teach a settle on mat or just general calming behaviours. Once you’ve decided what you’d like to teach, you’ll want to introduce these in a distraction free setting. 

3) Once you have the foundations down, we can start to combine them in the environments we want. Remember to practice at quiet times first and don’t rush in with long meals, start with quick drinks so you’re able to bail if you need to. Then you can build up slowly by increasing the distractions over time. It’s also fine if you always opt for quiet times if that’s what your dog needs!

Some tips 👇🏼

✅ Make sure your dog’s needs are met - you don’t want a super hyped up dog going into a busy environment. Make sure your dog is exercised and has rested somewhat before heading out so they’re not full of adrenaline

✅ Don’t feel like your dog has to be resctricted to a settle mat or a down. These behaviours can help your dog to feel relaxed, but if your dog is happier just standing and watching things or settling somewhere else that’s totally fine. Insisting they stay in one place can stress them out and push you back! 

✅ Don’t reward them when they’re actually settled - it can be tempting to try and capture the “good” behaviour but often the food just disturbs them and wakes them up again. If your dog is happy settling or sleeping, this behaviour is self reinforcing and you don’t have to keep throwing food to them.

I like to teach a wait, simply so I don’t have a dog knocking food out of my hands! 

I don’t like to ask them to wait for long or make a big fuss over food, because this can cause guarding issues which we obviously don’t want. But a quick wait while I put their food down is super helpful and a great foundational skill for puppies and dogs!

The truth is, I didn’t fall in love with dog training because of huge transformative behavioural cases. I fell in love with it because I felt how something as simple as teaching my puppy tricks, strengthened our communication and connection. And honestly it felt like magic.

I love working with through behavioural issues (it’s a good chunk of what I do now) but when I go back and look at my early videos with Cassius - the time when I was falling in love with dog training - it’s a good reminder that training just to strengthen your bond, build communication and just have fun with your dog, is just as important as training for a behavioural issue.

And honestly it’s easy to lose the fun when we’re constantly bombarded with conflicting information and judgemental advice. But that’s why I wanted to build my Training Hub where training was safe, fun and non-judgemental. I created it for everyone who feels just like I felt! 

If you’d like to join, I’ve made training channels on every topic, from reactivity through to tricks and engagement training. Just comment Hub for the free trial link 🌞

And don’t forget to send this to someone who needs reminding that they’re going a great job!! 2025-09-18 14:22:27 Th.. 335 +24% 0 -100%
