Join us for a Private Session with Duncan 🎉
We had Dunc back for a Private Session this week to work through some fun tricks and brain games to expand his repertoire! 🥰
This wasn’t Duncan’s original reason for coming to see us but with everything going so well we are rounding off his final session in his Platinum Private Session package with some fun things! 🥳
Our Private Session times are now booking into late September! Now is the time to visit our website or contact us via messenger to secure a package with us! With over 10 years experience and exclusive qualifications, there’s no other choice for a premium dog training service on the North West Coast! 👏🏼
🌟 Tunnel Superstars! 🌟
Maverick, Bella, Nova, Rollo, Reggie, Buddy and Daphne were this weeks tunnel pups! 🤩
We had a mixed bag in this group of how they took on the tunnel, but everyone had fun and built confidence 🥰
🌟 Top Tip Tuesday 🌟
Teach a Hand Touch! And not just because it’s one of our favourite things to teach 🥳
👋🏼 It’s easy and build confidence! It’s such a simple behaviour that any dog at any age can learn!
👋🏼 You can move your dog without touching them ! Reposition them away from people, onto the vet scales or off the couch all by asking for a touch!
👋🏼It can tell you what your dog is thinking! If they can’t do something as simple as a hand touch, the environment made be too hard!
👋🏼it’s a fun recall cue! Instead of constantly calling out dogs, we can ask for a touch and they have to come back to us to touch and get rewarded!
👋🏼You can do it anywhere! You don’t need to remember to pack your hand (we hope!) so you can do it anywhere, anytime.
We teach a hand touch right from our Positive Puppy Program and progress it through our programs. 🥳
🌟 Tunnel Superstars! 🌟
Mackenzie, Peaches, Wren and Juno were some of our tunnel pups yesterday! 🥳
These guys had a blast and no problems at all with the tunnel! Way to go everyone 👏🏼
Did you know the tunnel isn’t just for fun? It’s a fantastic socialisation opportunity to build a positive connection to enclosed spaces! If you’d like to set your pup up for success, contact us today to secure your spot in our Positive Puppy Program 🥰
🌟 Curious about a day in the life of a dog trainer? 🌟
It's not always what you might expect! 🤔
Did you know that a significant portion of our time is spent planning, organizing, and preparing in the office? 💻
We dedicate one full day and three half days each week to office work. This is where the behind-the-scenes magic happens. 🪄
The success of our classes and private sessions doesn't just happen by chance. With the high demand for our services, we schedule office time to ensure everything runs smoothly for you and your dogs! 🐶
This is why we have specific days for classes and private sessions. It allows us to have enough time to prepare and also to recharge, so we can provide the best service possible. 👏🏼
While we love spending time with people and their dogs, a lot of our work involves getting everything organized and ready, as shown in the video below. This way, when you join a session or class, everything is set for you to hit the ground running! 🥰
🌟 They weren’t just tunnel superstars on Tuesday night! 🌟
Sully, Sunday and Tonka were our little tunnel class on Tuesday so we thought we’d do some extra things with them 👏🏼
They had a great time not just taking on the tunnel but taking on the socialization cat walk and the fan favourite ball pit! 👏🏼
🌟🎓 Race In Recalls Superstars 🎓🌟
Eddie and Maximus were our Race In Recall champs on Saturday 🥳
We loved having fun with these two showing off all things recall! We saw some great recalls from these guys through a variety of games 🥰
🌟 Top Tip Tuesday! 🌟
Teach your dog to be bored! 🥱
We know it sounds silly but if you want a dog that will lay at the cafe, lounge around the house or be able to sit and watch the world go by, they first need to know how to just be! 😌
We posted this video of Fox at a meeting last week in our stories. This is Timelapse is of about 5 minutes where he is able to just chill on his mat and not be too worried about the coming and going at the cafe door! 🥳
He’s getting sporadically rewarded for laying there happily and if he got up, he got repositioned back on the mat. There was a water bowl positioned not too far from the mat so he could have a drink if needed without straying too far from the mat. 🥰
The mat gives a dog somewhere to target and a boundary, this ultimately sets them up for success! 👏🏼
This isn’t just something to do out and about! Mat training is great at home and can help with counter surfing, visitors and settling routines! 😴
Such a simple behaviour can turn into a life long skill for our dogs and creates a predictable pattern in a number of environments! Contact us today to help create solid routines and patterns for your new puppy or dog 👏🏼
🌟🎓Brain Games 🎓🌟
We only had young Mr Percy for our Brain Games graduation last week so we had a bit of fun!
After not being 100% keen to walk on the different surfaces, by the end Percy was racing over everything! 🥳

Little Miss Lucy is visiting us at the moment to work on some calmer behaviour when seeing dogs and people out and about! 🥰
Typical of her breed, Lucy gets a little bit excited and after a couple of session putting some foundations in place, we brought her outside to do some work around Murph!
Lucy and her mum are such a great team and in one session we had her working in a close range to Murphy with her just being able to walk past! 🥳
There’s still a way to go with this gorgeous girl and with a few more session we’ll do some more work with Murphy and then move onto Zan! We can’t wait to see how bright the future is for this team 👏🏼

Not sure what to get 🤷♀️ Flick us a message or email or ask us during class and we can help you from there! 😊
🌟 Let’s talk recall! 🌟
It’s the skill we all want from our dogs! It allows for freedom, safety and fun adventures. Yet it can be one of the hardest skills to teach! 😓
Why 🤷♀️ because the environment is so exciting!! Particularly for pups and rescue dogs, it feels as we make their world bigger, we can become less relevant.
So how we do we get them to come back to us? We make choosing us valuable and worth their while!! 🥳
We do this by starting small and making big deals of the little wins! And REWARD. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! 🙌🏼
Fox hasn’t been smashed with recall training, in fact quite the opposite we’ve done very little. What we have done is show him that every time he choose to engage with us, there’s a jackpot payoff of treats. That’s everywhere, including the backyard. He’s been on a long line so he can still explore but can’t practice not coming back. Again, to start with this was at home.🏡
Yesterday, with very little happening on the beach, he got to have a go off the lead. EVERY engagement or recall, whether he was asked or not was heavily rewarded with treats that Fox finds high value.
Was he perfect? No, he’s an 18 week old pup. So I was patient with him, if I call and he got caught in a sniff, I waited. If a bird or a noise distracted him, I waited.
Remember, these guys don’t come preprogrammed knowing how to exist in our human world. We have to take the time to show them how it all works, explain it and set them up the best we can to succeed in the long run! 🥰
