1-1 TRAINING SESSION - ‘Gwilym’ 7mth Doberman - Tracking

Some of you may remember Gwilym from his stay/train with me about a month ago. Today his owner wanted to challenge him further and find ways to fulfill him more.

He took to Nosework (scent detection) so well during his stay and is nailing his ‘finds’ around his property, so today we started to introduce him to tracking (human scent).

He was a bit cheeky at first, picking up each sock as he went 🤪 but this last go, about his 5th, he was really understanding the concept. Looks like he’s a natural at this too!

His owner lives on some land, so has a nice amount of space to lay down some training/beginner tracks. Another fun way to work and fulfil Gwilym and also very tiring. He was snoozing soundly in back of car when we finished before leaving for home 💤.

Look forward to hearing how he progresses over the coming weeks 👍🏻

NOSEWORK CLASS - January 2026 !

🐾 Start date - 11 January
🐾 When - Sundays @ 10am
🐾 Class size - Min 3 / Max 4 dogs
🐾 Cost - $279 (kit included)
🐾 Duration - 5 weeks (1hr classes)

Getting in early to organise the first class for 2026.

Nosework classes are super fun for both dogs and owners. The class is about helping your dog learn to hunt and find a particular scent.

It’s the most natural thing for our dogs to do - sniff. Putting their noses to work, for a purpose, is such a fulfilling way to tire our dogs.

The classes are such great fun and full of camaraderie, as everyone gets to support each separate team as they work at the pace of their dog.

If you had been looking for something to challenge your dog and have some fun too, this class definitely fits the bill.

What a fabulous day. Sun shining, rather warm so good day to mow the front yard. Hudson and Hamish just hanging about, sniffing for lots of things, getting into the muddy puddle and simply being dogs.

When finished - time for all of us to rest. Well for some it means snooze time 💤

STAY/TRAIN - ‘Sunday’ & ‘Poppet’

Whilst the girls stayed it couldn’t be all about the work only. As Sunday has always been a super playful girl, I thought it would be nice to let young 8mths minature poodle, Poppet have some time to interact and play with her. Poppet had shown some shyness in puppy classes with the other young pups but no issues with big brother (standard poodle) at home.

Poppet was super interested and enjoyed running and chasing Sunday and some rough housing too, however she listened when Sunday thought she was being a bit of a pest 😝. This was nice to see, as she didn’t tend to recognise this when playing with older big brother.

After their fun time, back to some work, holding lovely ‘wait’ at the back door.

These two have only known each other for a day, however super pleased with their drop/stay. Sunday, more of an old hand at this, however Poppet really just learning and to do this with distraction (Sunday) she did so well 👍🏻

🐾PUPPY CONSULT - 11 week Cocker Spaniel ‘Wilby’ 🐾

I had the pleasure of meeting this little fella and his lovely owner this morning.

We went over establishing some good solid basic foundations - setting Wilby up to succeed with regards to toilet training, crate training and ways to help Wilby become a happy, confident, well adjusted content family member.

Each puppy consult is never the same, as everyone has different family dynamics, goals and overall expectations, however all of them always concentrate on owners understanding the essential foundations as they are key to setting off on the best foot with their puppy.

The boys have been getting some extra exercise on the doggie treadmill. Hudson just gets on with it and walks, sometimes trots. Hamish looks about, slows and drifts back, then quickens and then is steady and then gets distracted 😝🤣. It’s been great to use the treadmill for some extra walks on those wet and windy days. Incorporating some treadmill walking is also a great way to drain some of the extra energy before actually heading out for a walk 👍🏻

My sleeping quarters tonight - but it’s going to be a good view to wake up to tomorrow morning.
