Something exciting coming…
Meet Mockshi!
She is 7 weeks tomorrow and coming home in just over a weeks time - and yes…. not a collie 😝

I have loved watching her develop since she was a day old… Her breeder has done the best job with her.

New puppy training video model incoming 🥰

Micros Story

Meet Micro the Great Dane (such an amazing name)
I started training her and Aaron nearly a year ago in puppy classes.

As a 14 week old, she was nervous!
She didn’t want me near her, was a bit worried about noises, quite liked other dogs and adored her owner ☺️

Aaron and Micro went through puppy and adolescent classes, tried out some agility foundations (which she was fab at!) and did the training.

But she was still nervous, noisy and getting bigger!

She would bark and bounce when she saw other dogs (a great dane jumping vertical is a sight to behold 😆)
She would spook at runners, kids, people… and… it was embarrassing… comments were made, aggressive being an adjective used more than once.

As her season hit, Micros relationship with Aaron’s parents dogs who looked after her broke down - hormones can be hard…

Katy came and did some 121 training, we looked at foundations again, muzzle trained her to keep everyone around confident and worked on bridging the gap with the dogs.

This past month I have been going out with Katy, Aaron and Micro twice a week to different places, from tesco car park to The Ferrers and Hicks Lodge helping them all to rebuild some confidence that they can take her places other than secure fields.

Yesterday we had bikes, pushchairs and dogs milling about and in our path and Micro not only coped, she thrived!

They have been my inspiration for setting up my Train and Walks as seeing the progress they’ve made over the past couple of months has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had so far.

Is it all perfect? No
But training and living with a dog isn’t a straight road (Disney stories aren’t real sorry 😝)

I’m really proud of the work they have all put in and look forward to hearing about all the wins and positives in the future.

Yesterday I borrowed Ellen’s Bramble for her first training day. We had so much fun!

Was it perfect? Heck no - see how good I was in my first clip 😆

Most of the 3 hour session (two shorter ones with a break) we practised 2/3 obstacles at a time.

I’m looking forward to stealing her a bit more to get her contacts sorted and going on some more training days!

Walking the dog can be the best part of your day - but sometimes the dog has other ideas!

How many of you experience...
👉 Pulling on the lead
👉 Over excited by people, dogs, a leaf blowing by....
👉 Not listening to recalls or cues even though they can do them perfectly at home?
👉Barking, lunging, nervousness, being over friendly?
👉 Fixation on the wildlife

You're not alone!

How often do you use your dogs brain?
I don’t mean scatter feed, snuffle mats etc (although these are great) but problem solving and thinking…

Oz is on 3x 25 minute slow lead walks a day while she recovers from a big operation.
Not long ago she was having 2 hours + mostly free running and doing training.

Even with lots of exercise, my dogs need to use their brain to really settle and be fulfilled.

Simple tricks are a great way to do this, or more complex ones like the obedience hold and proofing I was doing last night.
Our session lasted 3.5 minutes!!

Having a happy, brain tired dog does not mean lots of time out of your day!

Train and walks are a great way to work on the skills you and your dog need in a range of settings.
‘Little’ Micro is doing a series of them building her confidence around dogs and people and learning the world won’t end in busier places 😁

She has done amazing on her sessions this week and her owners are developing their own confidence in being able to take her places and not just avoiding 😇
