Any age!

Maybe you have a new puppy; teach them about how to confidently interact with the world around them. Perhaps an (annoying) adolescent dog who appears to have selective hearing; get cracking now to curb any developing undesirable habits! Or perhaps your dog is an adult who still needs some skills to be refined - we got you.

Dogs are always learning. Every waking moment they are learning what works for them and what doesn't. When they are sleeping, they're processing what happened in their day. It is never too early to get started, but it's also NEVER too late either.

And remember;
🐾 Set your dog up for success, and be consistent
🐾 Practice makes progress (and eventually perfection!)
🐾 Training is lifelong, but gets easier as you go
🐾 Reduce your expectations when a new situation or really distracting environment is present- go back a step and continue to train until your dog gets the hang of it.
🐾 Patience also goes a long way

Congratulations to our Out and About Scholar Graduates Lola and Hazel.

An excitable duo, very friendly and happy, we spent our time practicing loose lead walking (with incredible success - very proud dog trainer over here! 🥹), settling on a mat, calmness around each other, polite greetings with people (and resisting the urge to jump!) and checking in as a default behaviour.

As an excitable teenager, and pre-teen, both of these dogs did exceptionally well. You'd think the best part of this course is settling for a coffee at the cafe - but it is in fact seeing huge success in these dogs with such dedicated families. The time at the cafe is a bonus.

Happy training, we know you're going to go far ❤️

Look at these GORGEOUS pups - Dukie, Sora and Lexi - our recent Social Scholar Graduates. Congratulations 🎊 👏 🥳

Sometimes the biggest challenge with having a dog, is their social etiquette around other dogs; sometimes too overzealous and friendly, sometimes wary and unsure. This trio practiced calmness (and confidence) in the presence of each other as well as unknown dogs on our field trip. Putting their skills into practice allowed them to focus on their people in the presence of other dogs, say hello to unknown dogs when appropriate and learn to keep distance or avoid when the time isn't right.

If your dog needs a helping hand with some on lead social skills, come join us at the end of September for our next 3-week course to learn more about dog body language, how to keep your dog calm, and what it means to be a Social Scholar.

Congratulations to our recent Adventure Scholar Graduates; Rosie, Evie and Dusty!

Learning to come back to your people can be a challenge for dogs when the option of freedom is on the cards, or food wrappers, birds, people or other dogs. This trio practiced skills ranging from calmness around distractions, focus on their people, settling on a mat (for those nights sitting by the campfire) and of course coming when called. Each dog was at a different level of success when we began and each dog improved greatly in many different areas.

With continued practice and positive reinforcement we just know these dogs will be enjoying off lead adventures for a lifetime. ❤️
