TRAINING/SOCIALISATION DAY -

Vesper can be a bit jumpy and mouthy so worked on that during her stay today.

Super proud of her, she didn’t even attempt to jump on me as I entered the enclosure. Had only done one short session of shaping the behaviour for better manners and she did a great job second time. She picks things up so quickly 👍🏻.

TRAINING / SOCIALISATION DAY -

‘Vesper’ - flat coat retriever, is joining me today for the first of the training days I’m offering to clients and their doggies.

Things we have covered -

🐶 Mat training
🐶 Stands - in motion and from drop/down
🐶 LLW at various pace
🐶 Manners ‘Wait’ - doorways and crate
🐶 Stop mouthing/jumping
🐶 Crate - calm resting time alone
🐶 Off lead free time in one of my large enclosures

Vesper is a clever switched on girl and it shows that her owner has already put in some nice work!

So loved seeing my boys like this the other morning!!

NOSEWORK CLASS - Final class

‘Happy’ doing an amazing job! If Happy had been the first dog to work to ‘find’ the scent, he would have nailed it so quickly.

He had been worked already with not quite enough rest time in between searches and other dogs had done searches. The shed definitely had started to be a huge place that all smelt like Birch, the scent we were using.

Love the little head snap you see him give when he starts to really zone in and try and locate the scent 👍🏻

REAL LIFE OBEDIENCE & MANNERS CLASS -
- Wednesday evenings

This is a small class but that’s perfectly fine. Really wanted to help both these owners due to a bit of a stuff around with original class dates.

They did some lovely work last week and looking forward to tonight’s class, to see the progress they’ve made with their mat training. Also, both dogs did well learning about Loose Lead walking.

🐾 My main aim in many of my classes is to help owners better understand their dogs and to recognise that how they, the owner, hold their body, lead and overall energy really can help contribute to achieving better results with their dogs. It isn’t always about how much food you have on you, in order for the dog to perform well and succeed in many parts of their daily life.

On the way home yesterday from a puppy consult, I truly realised just how lovely the area I drive through can be and stopped to enjoy it for a bit. It’s especially beautiful in winter when the rolling hills are lush and green.

Sometime just good to stop and take a deep breath 😉

I know, certainly doesn’t look like anything to do with dogs!

Just super pleased with the crocheted scarf I just finished. Love the colours, but please don’t think I had the patience to change colours each row 🤪, the wool itself was multi-coloured 👍🏻

So enjoying getting back to doing some crafty stuff with my hands. Knitted a scarf and back to doodling with pencil drawing too !

It’s so lovely to receive this feedback!!

I have to say not all dogs are complete naturals to doing Nosework, however I feel almost all and any dog can have a crack at it. This being said, Mr Happy was such a natural, he was so into it from Week 2, once he started to understand what his owner was wanting him to do ! Loved how he zoomed around trying to ‘find’ the scent. It was an absolute joy working with both him and his owner!

I’ll share a video of him working shortly.
