Training Tips

Is there anything more frustrating than buying your dog a new toy - only for them to turn their nose up at it?  We get it.  At Tug-E-Nuff, we pour our decades of experience as professional trainers and agility experts...

Hands up if you often make new year resolutions, but rarely keep them?  Us too. But new year resolutions don’t have to feel like punishments.  Here at Tug-E-Nuff, we’re all about the magic of play - and the positive benefits...

When you head out for a walk with your dog, what are your priorities? Giving your dog exercise and the opportunity to go to the toilet, right? Of course, those two things are very important. But there’s a third thing that should be considered an essential part of every walk: sniffing. 

Sniffing is hugely beneficial for dogs and essential for their wellbeing. It’s stimulating too - experts tell us just 20 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to an hour’s walk in terms of enrichment for your dog. 

Before you got a dog, we bet you imagined lovely, relaxing strolls with them walking nicely at your side. Instead, perhaps, the reality is that your dog tugs on the lead so much that your arm aches and it is *hard work*. Sound familiar!? You’re not alone. Lead pulling is a really common issue for lots of dog owners.
