Group training last night was busy. We welcomed Olive the Rottweiler into this group and she took it in her stride. It was also Tricks Night and the teams showed off their skills. I was amazed at some of the tricks. Batman doing the reverse circle around his handler was awesome 👌

Mila, the Japanese Spitz, braved the big wide world. Walking outside the house was stressful for her. To get her used to more outdoors walks we chose a more quiet walk along the foreshore, where there is plenty of space for Mila to have distance between her and what is scary. Mila was incredible, lots of handler focus, which clearly shows a lot of homework done 👏 she worked through all the challenges, bikes, mobility scooters, people, dogs. Mila showed that she can cope with the stress of the unknown and work through it. This was only the start, but outdoor walks will be a regular event on her calendar 😀

Competition obedience crew... can hardly describe this group of dedicated handlers, who enjoy working on obedience skills with emphasis on precision, motivation and attitude. I have the pleasure to be part of a team who supports each other, celebrates results... even the small ones 😍 and has a laugh at our bloopers
