Did you know that you do things without really realising that you're doing them?Did you know that some of things are good for you, but sometimes.... they're not so good too?When I realised how my habits and behaviour were holding me back, I realised why I wasn't getting the things I wanted in my life.Constantly starting projects, but never finishing themForever wishing for the world, but procrastinating and over thinking about it allIt wasn't until I uncovered the things that were truly holding me back, that I really started to make major progress.Ask me your question: claire@highpeakdogservices.co.uk

It's easy to look at someone else and say 'it's because they're successful' but people aren't born that way.Most people are born and raised, but the problem being is that although many people are aware of the word success, I challenge whether they really understand what it means to be successfulWhat does successful even mean anyway?Tune in to find out more and how you can be a successful little ray of sunshine.claire@highpeakdogservices.co.uk

It's okay to feel what you feel towards your reactive dog sometimes, there's no rule book for this.What I'd say is, don't let those more negative feelings consume you into a stressed out, frustrated oblivion of a person you once were. I'm going to let the show do the rest of the talking for this topicEnjoy!Clairex

''It's okay when it's just me and them''''They're fine until something else comes along''Common phrases we hear as professionals, irregardless of whether the dog struggles with reactivity or not. When generating a dogs interest levels around distractions, there are a few key things to look into more.

Imagine sleeping with the Big Five of Africa, in nothing but a tent.Our ability to be mindful and aware of our surroundings can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help. So, in today's show, I wanted to share with you a few of the lessons I learned from the Zimbabweans and of my experience in Africa, that you can take and put right into place for you and your reactive dogs training. Things aren't always as scary as they might seem.To learn more about overcoming your reactive dog problems, we're proud to announce that Elite is now open for another 12 week's of dog training.This is a specialist program designed to guide and mentor you, for YOUR individual needs, you're not just a number on a course spreadsheet with this.We're in it with you and helping you every step of the way.Head to: https://highpeakdogservices.co.uk/elite/

Are you properly free from the stresses and tangles of reactivity? Or are you, or have you become comfortable in the pattern and routines of your hideaway spots...Hey, I've got the damn t-shirt on this. What do I want to go out there for? To deal with another off lead and unwanted interaction from other dogs, or to have to explain myself for the hundredth time on why I want spaceBetter to just avoid it all, right? Wrong... Whilst it's nice to have no worries or intrusions in your safety pattern, lurking underneath is a sinister life sucker who's not really creating the ultimate freedom you desire with your dog walk. Come out from under the shadows, my friend. It's safer out here with the right community around you. www.highpeakdogservices.co.uk

Have you ever been enjoying the times where it's just you and your dog on your walk and everything going as you'd like it too?Then bish bash bosh, the dreaded distraction comes along and the heat quickly turns up and starts to fizzle How do you handle the situations with your dog when you come up against other dogs?Do you take it all in your stride? Or do you tense up  in anticipation of a reaction or something unexpected about to happen?How you handle that situation and what goes racing through your mind can hugely impact what your outcome can be.Let's take a look into how to handle the heat in your dogs reactivity training

What would you do if your dogs had never experienced a setting or scenario before and you got plunged head first into it and your dogs HAD to adjust and cope with it? Well this week's show looks a little more into what Claire did to ensure TWO main factors when it came to introducing pack of dogs to a little baby.The results and methodology might well shock youTake these lessons and see how you can put them into practice for you and your own individual dogs success setting

The thing I love most about what I do, is the results other people get from listening to me.Listening is one thing, but the doing part is something else entirely.I have something incredibly exciting to share you with you today, and it's made me so happy I couldn't help but tell the whole world!Tune in today to find out more

When it comes to dog training and behaviour, if you've ever worked or spoken with a trainer or behaviourist, one of the first questions we ask is ''What breed do you have?''Well, there's a reason for this, and in today's show I wanted to dive into more of the categories surrounding the original purposes of some dog breeds and extend an invite to you if you wanted to learn more about it.The link for our free study classes are here: https://highpeakdogservices.co.uk/study/

If you're anything like me, you'll often feel such a deep engrained connection to your dogs that you absolutely want to do right by them, but sometimes our behaviour and habits can be detrimental to and standing in the way of helping them through.Today, it felt kind of weird introducing this speaker, because this speaker, do be, me! If you're looking how to connect on a different level with your dog, and learn from people who are doing it every single day, then tune in to todays show to find out how.Enjoy the showClaireX

Imaging your dog being able to look or come away from the things they're currently barking at right now, on their own.Does it seem impossible? Perhaps a joke to think they'd ever be able to achieve that?Well, think again, because whilst not all reactivity cases and behavioural problems can be truly fixed, a large majority of them can beAnd even if you've got a dog who will be a lifelong management case, what you can get is a damn sight better improvement in their behaviour.Which today's guest and former Doctor is going to share more about with youBuckle up and get ready to get your geek on today, listeners.This ones a crackerEnjoy the show

You are not alone in this. Reactivity feels so lonely, it feels so stressful and it can feel like you are the only person in the entire world going through this 'issue'I know, because that's how I felt, we know because we do it every day, but the definition of the dog in front of you does not determine you spend your life isolated forever There are places of support out of there for you to join at any timeEnjoy the show and find your community

Ok, so you want to train your dog to behave... but WHY?It's easy enough to say you want something, but when it comes to actually getting it, you've got to really want it. And to get that, you've got to have a very powerful why because you will hit blocks in the road that will make you want to quit. Today, we speak to the wonderful Greg Pattison all about this very topic and how you can identify the real reason why you want a well behaved dog in your life. This interview nearly made me cry and that is unheard of!Enjoy the showClaire x

For such a little dog, these guys can't half pack a barking punch when they go. For me, these little dogs don't receive anywhere near enough training as the likes of a larger dog would, but today's guest speaker is changing that one teeny tiny chihuahua paw print at a time. We're diving straight into todays show with the lovely Hayley Miles!Enjoy the show everyone x

What makes you want to change the behaviour of another? When wanting to resolve something in any species, but as this podcast is about barking dogs, let's go with that, why do you want to change or resolve it? When we're working with dogs, it's important to work within their capabilities,  but we must remember to check in with them too when we're wanting to work on training with them.Recently, I've had to accept that the dogs I have now, just aren't suitable for the work I want to do with them. We dabble in and they mostly enjoy the parts to the sports work we do together, but they're not mad keen for it.In today's podcast, our guest speaker talks into the 'why before you try' method behind her work, and why it's important to provide the dog with choice over the activities you perform. For more information on our ELEVATE: Reactivity Reboot classes, the website to visit is: https://highpeakdogservices.co.uk/study/Enjoy today's show!

Creating new habits, and untangling old habits are two entirely different things. When an animal has already learned that something is scary or become anxious around, it's not just about creating a new ritual or routine to get over it. It takes time creating and maintain a new neural pathway for them to truly overcome their worries. This week, we speak into exactly that with Helen Mottram from Social Paws dog trainingEnjoy the show!

Are you letting the comfort of instant gratification and old habits, hold you back from developing into the person you really want to be?Join us for our first show of 2022 and line up for a series of guest interviews and speakers, who participated in our second running of the Simple dog show: The New Years Habit Guide (link to join as of Jan 2022 here)We start with one of the worlds most famous dog trainers and consultants in the field, please welcome Mr Ken Ramirez!
