In episode 35 of We Love Dogs, Cheryl is joined by highly experienced dog trainer Kamal Fernandez, who many of you will know from the Channel 4 programme The Dog Academy.

Cheryl and Kamal talk all about obedience training, what it actually means, and how Kamal uses reward-based, force-free methods to build reliable behaviour and strong relationships with dogs.

Kamal explains what his training sessions look like in practice, how he teaches behaviours like heelwork, the importance of focus and engagement, and why training should be enjoyable for both dogs and their handlers.

We also discuss rewards, play, building reliability, common mistakes owners make, what to do when things don’t go to plan, and where people should start if they want to improve obedience with their own dog.

A relaxed and insightful conversation packed with practical advice for dog owners and anyone interested in modern dog training.
