Denzels Dog Training

I could tell you my training is effective - or you could just read what Claire, Helen, Jacob and Andy have to say. 🧡

A fear-reactive Poodle. A doorbell barking and reactive mini-Dachshund. A Jack Russell who pulled like a freight train. A Cockapoo at war with the Hoover. Every one of these owners was at their wits end before we started.

September is fully booked. October is now open. 4-6 session training packages and 8 session behavioural modification programmes for more difficult cases.

"Bulldogs are stubborn." "You can't train a Bulldog." I hear it all the time.

Beau's dad contacted me urgently because home life had gotten really hard. Constant barking, pushy demanding behaviour, her people ending up arguing over it, and a senior dog in the house feeling the strain too.

Today - Saturday - was session two. session 1 was Wednesday evening.

I rang the doorbell. No noise. No barking, no charging at the door. Beau was on a dog bed in the living room with her new toy. Later, we were all in the kitchen when the postman rang the bell and she didn't budge from her spot under the table, just carried on holding her toy.

That's real world progress.

Beau has stopped lunging at the watering to chomp on it, she's left the metal washing line post alone too, and settles nicely inside. She's got a Sit and the clicker tells her "Yes, that's right" and she gets a piece of apple. She's worked out that good choices pay.

Beau is hilarious too. Today she demolished apple and watermelon, then spat out a blueberry in absolute disgust. 😂

This bulldog isn't stupid and she isn't stubborn. She's a clever dog who's never been shown what to do and what to stop doing. Give her guidance, make it worth her while, and she's happy to learn.

That's what behavioural modification work is. Not squashing the behaviour, but looking at the whole dog: how she feels, her home, her history, the people around her, then building a plan that works day to day.

Still plenty to do. There's a short 3 night kennel stay coming up and her upset and stress in the car will need careful work. But this little (!) Bulldog is already making the point: dogs aren't difficult because of their breed. Sometimes nobody's shown them what to do yet.

Struggling with a Bulldog at home? You don't need a vet referral to come to me as long as your dog is not ill or in pain. Drop me a message. ❤️

Reactive Dachshund owners? Read on! When Jackie first got in touch, she was about to retire; and instead of looking forward to relaxed days out, she was dreading them! Her two dachshunds, Rolo and Cooper, were dog/people-reactive, with door-rushing, and excessive barking behaviour that made home life stressful too! Even a simple walk for Jackie and her daughter Nicky felt like a battle. Cafés and pubs? Completely off the table.

We started an in-home training programme together, building up gradually with walks around local areas - and - just a couple of weeks after session 5, I received these texts:

"Yesterday we decided to take Rolo and Cooper to Stokes in the Lawn for a cuppa, they were amazing, we then walked them down to that shop u suggested, we love Sylvie, they both left with new collars and leads x"

Jackie followed up with:
"We had such a lovely day and comments from people around the Bail/Steep Hill x. 'What cute dogs, aww so lovely, look at them dogs,' even met my niece and family on our travels and stopped for a chat, no reactions just stood patiently x loved my afternoon with them xx"

From dreading a simple walk to being stopped in the street for compliments — with one session still to go. Huge congratulations to Jackie, Nicky, Rolo and Cooper!🎉 Let them be an inspiration to you!

Dog owners - if you follow the guidance and do the work, it will pay off. You won't get the support you need on Youtube and being able to share your wins with your trainer on Whatsapp is a wonderful thing! Just dm me if you are not sure and we can have a chat about things.🥰

Thanks to Sylvie at Top to Tail for her warm welcome to the Dachsie boys and their mums! You will find Dachshund and sighthound specific quality walking gear in this boutique! Rachel Riddell🥰

Hey, that's my boy Denzel slurping on an Oatz&Co pup-cup in the Insta post! The staff certainly are dog-friendly, the food and drinks are fabulous, the seats inside are upholstered and comfy to sit on, there's a quirky gift collection to browse, and plenty of outdoor seating too!🥰

Show your support for small local businesses and pay them a visit with your dog to get the Denzel treatment! Tomorrow is National Dog Day - why not drop by for a cuppa if you're uptown?👍

Denzel fans say 'Hi' in the comments and drop me a pic of your dog!😍

HOW MUCH LONGER? 😂

If this is what walking your Frenchie feels like, you won't be the only one!

Pulling. Barking. Lunging - spotting another dog from 200 metres away, vocalising like a gargoyle, and immediately forgetting you hold the leash…

Frenchies can be an absolute handful and reactive behaviours are a real issue.

But there’s usually a reason behind the behaviour, and understanding why your dog is reacting is the first step towards changing it.

If your Frenchie is making walks stressful, send me a message. More Youtube videos won't help you - a real trainer with your and your dog will!

Let’s make walks enjoyable again and get your Frenchie into a better frame of mind. 🐾

REACTIVE FRENCHIE? 🐾

Struggling to walk your French Bulldog? Is the pulling and barking driving you nuts? Is every walk becoming a battle of pulling, barking, lunging or trying to get your Frenchie to listen while they’re completely fixated on something else?

You may well be wondering…Why is my dog doing this?

Well - your Frenchie might be nervous or insecure. They might be frustrated. They might be defensive. Or they might simply be very excited and determined to get involved with every dog they see!

Whatever is behind the behaviour, there’s usually a reason for it.
And you don’t have to keep struggling on your own or trying to figure out what to do on Youtube!

I work with Frenchies and their owners to understand firstly, what is driving the behaviour, then build practical training that works in the real world - in your neighbourhood, and local area.

The aim isn’t to make your funny dog with a big personality a robot. Not at all! It’s to help you both feel more confident, communicate better and enjoy your walks again. Yes, even with your feisty Frenchie! 😄

If you’re in Lincoln or within around 15km and your Frenchie is proving to be a bit of a handful, send me a message. I’d love to hear what’s going on. I have spots available for September but they are going fast now holiday season is over, so now rather than later is advisable!

Denzels Dog Training
Confidence in Connection
I don’t just train dogs. I coach the people they live with.

A review that reads like a story...this sentence alone had me rush for the tissue box (and I am not a mush ball!):

"I have found a new love for Winnie on this journey and a sense of calm and harmony with a bond and relationship I never thought we could have."

This is Claire's experience in her own words after just five sessions! It IS the case that some dog owners get worn down struggling with difficult behaviour and can fall out of love with their dogs. It just gets too hard sometimes with everything else going on in life.

I really do understand this and am here to give you the experience that Claire describes so very well and straight from the heart - from beginning to end.

If you are struggling with your dog, read what Claire has to say, get off social media and Youtube - you clearly haven't got what you needed so far - and DM me or see link in my bio for more info We can go from there.

Living with a dog should bring you happiness, fun, and joy. Let's make it that way.🥰
