The event is indoors at our training centre in Accrington ๐๐พ๐ป
๐ถ PUPPY PROGRESS ๐พ
Tonight saw our Puppy class do their mid course assessment to check how they are all progressing. I just wanted to share this clip of Captin absolutely smashing the spin. He did the best spin out of all 8 puppies ๐ฅณ
What makes this even more impressive, is that Captinโs guardian is a wheelchair user, which comes with it own unique challenges.
Well done Marcus & Captin. You are an amazing team ๐คฉ
We canโt wait to see how Captin and all the other puppies continue to progress over the next few weeks.
If you have a puppy or older dog for that matter and you are interested in training with us, we have lots of new classes starting next month. Just go and have a nosey through our website ๐ถ

๐ถ HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILFRED ๐
How happy does Wilfred the XL Bully look enjoying his 2nd Birthday party at our Indoor Playground today โฅ๏ธ
Wilfred has been part of the LCA community since he was 7 months old and is now working towards his IMDT Grade 5.
Today he took a day off from training to enjoy a pupachino on arrival at our centre, followed by exclusive use of the playground and a natural treat bag to take home.
Enjoy the rest of your birthday Wilfred ๐
โฅ๏ธ THROWBACK THURSDAY ๐พ
I found this on my phone the other day and it melted my heart. This is Stan at about 12 weeks old working on self control.
We used to do a couple of minutes training every time that I boiled the kettle to make a cup of tea. Whether that be stay, recall or trick training. Those few minutes soon add up and really make a difference.
I miss him being a puppy. Let see some pics in the comments of when your dog was a puppy ๐ถ
๐พ LET YOUR DOG SNIFF โฅ๏ธ
I was going to put a piece of trending audio over this video with some catchy slogans about why we should let dogs sniff, but when I just listened to the original background sound, I found it really relaxing.
So why should we let our dogs sniffโฆ.
Sniffing is a natural dog behaviour and they absolutely love it. They gather all sorts of information through their nose, it also relieves stress by activating the reward centre of the brain, reduces their heart rate, calms their nervous system and releases those feel good endorphins. Not to mention it gives them mental stimulation.
Stan loves a good old sniff and we have at least one โSnifariโ each week, where we mooch about and he can sniff to his heartโs content.
Next time you are out walking your dog, just slow down, take a breath, take the world in and let your dog do the same โฅ๏ธ
โญ๏ธ Super Star Mac ๐ซ
How super cute is Mac from our Saturday morning Puppy class.
Here he is practicing touch & spin like a pro โฅ๏ธ
Summer is a 5 year old Japanese Spitz. I popped in to do a home visit last week due to her constant begging for food and sometimes even stealing. By teaching her an alternative rewarding behaviour she is now choosing to wait patiently on her place. Well done Summer and her owner Dawn ๐
Emergency Stop training went really well last night. We are absolutely loving our new premises. So much training space for everyone. #lancashirecanineacademy #dogtrainer #IMDT #accreditedtraining #forcefreedogtraining
