Tonight is week 2 for senior puppy, adolescent and advanced skills class. It's a grey night and we've had some drizzly rain. Keep an eye on this page in case weather conditions change. At the moment class is going to go ahead but please bring something waterproof for your puppies and dogs to work on as well as a raincoat and umbrella for yourself just in case.

We have Bella showing a 'down stay' with duration and distance, Archie a 'stand stay' with duration, Wolfie a 'down stay' with a walk around and Rudi a recall with a yummy distraction along the way. Fantastic achievements from these amazing dogs and guardians.

Last night we finally got to graduate our adolescent dog class. Rain delayed graduation by 2 weeks but so proud of each of these teams of beautiful young dogs and their people. All did so well and we can't wait to see them grow into the wonderful adults that we know they will be. Congratulations Marti Archie Bento and Cosmo

Great progress being achieved in our Building and Continuous Skills class, despite the rain! We have beautiful Bella maintaining a watch while I walk past. Amazing Archie and marvelous Mo holding a 'stand with duration' and a 'drop with duration'. We challenged these fantastic dogs to a recall with a little distraction along the way. Yes, we placed 'Pancho', our demo dog, as a decoy. Although there was initial attention drawn towards it, Archie, Mo and Bella achieved a recall at full speed in a direct line, with Bella adding the icing on the cake with an automatic 'sit'. Well done everyone!!

Last night we graduated our Working with odour and beyond class. Many of these dogs had no experience working with birch odour but by the end of the course each one was showing great level of 'odour obedience'. Since Facebook won't let me post multiple videos in the one post, I will post each dog separately doing their very first ever vehicle search, starting with Kobe.

Last night we graduated our introduction to scent work class. Congratulations to Zuko, Magic, Quinn, Zahra and Argus. Over the 5-week course these dogs went from complete beginners to incredible, motivated and resilient searchers. All have a bright future ahead in Scent work.

Great start to our Building Skills classes. This is only week 3 and these dogs are showing great focus and advanced skills already. We have Louie and Mo maintaining a 'watch' while Bella walks past as a distraction. Then Wolfie maintaining an impressive 20+ seconds while Mo acts as a distraction in the background. Rudi and Bella showing a great 'sit by the side', while Archer and Mo a 'stand by the side' with impecable technique. Well done everyone!
