We will discuss and practise basic manners and behaviours and how to attain those through primarily reward-based training, the timing and types of rewards, and setting boundaries using distraction, redirection and appropriate correction for unwanted behaviours. The behaviours we will primarily cover will be; • Loose lead walking, including desensitisation to exciting triggers such as other dogs • Recall - ensure this is a positive, fun behaviour, for both you and your dog, and to ensure your dog doesn't learn to ignore your recall. • Sit, stay and wait • Impulse control games. We will also discuss and practice, where possible, manners and long-term aims for a well-mannered family dog, such as meeting strangers and other dogs, visitors to the home and unwanted barking or nervousness. Other issues as needed by individuals that arise in the group discussions

Python training course description This Python course focusses on teaching Python for use in network automation and network DevOps. We focus on getting delegates up and running with Python and network automation as quickly as possible rather than making them great programmers. In other words we concentrate on enabling delegates to use network automation libraries such as netmiko, NAPALM and Nornir, and APIs such as NETCONF and RESTCONF rather than enabling delegates to produce object oriented programs. Hands on sessions use Cisco and Juniper devices. What will you learn Run Python programs. Read Python programs. Write Python programs. Debug Python programs.

Another of our popular one-off sessions for those who cannot commit to a series or need specific help in a group environment. Max 6 dogs in this workshop you will learn howto walk your dog on a loose lead around distractions and other dogs. With Jo on this bespoke workshop, feel confident about walking your dog to heel and on a loose lead by learning the skills, techniques, processes and commands. Understanding WHY your dog pulls will ensure you continue to ensure your dog doesn't pull or react once you leave the workshop.

Day 1 will start with an outdoor classroom input, and then out on the ground to practise some map reading skills and some compass work. Day 2 will be out on the hills all day, and will include individual assessments. The 2 days will be very relaxed and enjoyable. Successful candidates will receive an official NNAS certificate.

Walk for Every Story Each year, around 92 people in Surrey die by suicide. Behind every number is a person — a story, a family, a friend, a life that mattered. Walk for Every Story is a walk of remembrance, hope, and action. We walk to honour those we've lost. We walk to stand beside those who are struggling. We walk to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and say: every story matters, and every life is worth saving. Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, for your own journey, or in solidarity with others, your steps help create a community where no one walks alone. Together, we can bring light to dark places, break the silence, and walk toward a future where support is stronger and suicide is no longer a silent statistic.

In private individual lessons, I aim to demonstrate, and help you learn, that we can communicate effectively with our dogs during our daily lives. For dogs we primarily do this with reward-based training and the use of resources and consequences of actions, for both the dog and yourself. We will also discover that it is ok to ask the dog not to do certain things, but in a non-aggressive way, to help the dogs understand what we don’t consider acceptable. We will further find that we can either encourage or suppress certain behaviours with positive and negative reinforcement and affirmatively communicate with dogs. The initial 1-hour consultation and lesson will usually occur at my premises near Lumphanan, so we can discuss and practice in a neutral, controlled environment. During this session I take the time to understand you, your dog and your needs. I also conduct training and address any behavioural issues. We often solve many of the common problems in this initial session. If needed, subsequent training can take place at my premises or a location that suits the issues - such as your home or a public place. The types of issues that I commonly help with are; Pulling on the lead Reactive behaviour when walking your dog on a lead - either over excitement or fear aggression Dog recall issues. Jumping up and bad manners with visitors and family members Excessive barking. Toilet training problems. Excessive 'mouthing' or biting. Stealing food or other objects. Anything else!
