Every dog has it's day - and that day is today!
It's National Dog Day.
It was created by Pet lifestyle expert and author Colleen Paige, to bring awareness to the condition of animals and to encourage adoption.

This gives us the opportunity to celebrate everything we love about our dogs.

Here's five pawtastic facts about our pooches

Dogs can help us relieve stress.
🐶 A dog's brain can detect different smells 40 times better than humans.
🐶 Many of them have jobs, guide dogs, assistance dogs and police dogs.
🐶 They can learn about 100 words and gestures, this is why we can teach them tricks and commands.
🐶 Dogs can cool themselves down by panting or sweating through their paws.

It's a good day to do something great for your dog, maybe give them extra walk or give them the biggest chew ever.

Maybe you want to get back to training, why not come to one of my classes.

The benefits that you will get from my classes that you won't get anywhere else;
🐶 Building confidence in you and your dog.
🐶 Learn in a fun. friendly, non-military and non-judgemental environment.
🐶 Personalised help in a small group usually 4 or 5 in a class.
🐶 Games that will help you in the real world
🐶 Improve your relationship with your dog.
🐶 Your dog will become a polite member of canine community.

I have a 2 spaces left for puppy classes and one left for evening teen classes.

This week, I have been taking Rose to different locations.We have been to the beach, Collington woods and the park.
This is exactly what happens in my progression outside class which starts again in October.

I really did test little Rose and she has done amazing.It wasn't perfect but training isn't.

I set two goals before we left.
One was to walk nicely on lead which she did most of the time. Two was to able to give me focus when other dogs were around, which she did.

I was happy with that but I did have a little bit of help. To find out watch my Spaniel tip below.

It is helpful to set goals. When you come to my classes, I ask every owner what they want to get out of the course and every week we work hard to achieve what they want.

You can do the same by coming to one of my classes.
I have a 2 spaces left for puppy classes and one space left for evening teen classes on Monday 9th September 2024.

I have to be honest it’s way too warm for me.
I like it warm but not this warm.
In the morning, I have been walking the dogs at Collington Woods, which has been a nice change.

It has been a lot cooler in there, which suits me and the dogs.

i have been skipping the evening walks which means I have had more time training with Rose.

We have been working on a placeboard and playing with a flirt pole.
What's a flirt pole.............I hear you cry........Don't worry

it's nothing rude. i reveal all, in this video. Try it with your dog.
If your dog loves it like Rose, you could even take it to the park.

It was 10 years today, that I started Pawtastic Gundog Adventures.
I thought it would be a good time to share with you, the reason why I started my business.
Why don't you grab yourself a brew and I will tell you.

In 2013, I fell pregnant, while training to be a veterinary nurse. When I had my daughter, Scarlett I realised I didn't want to go back. I didn't want to work 45-50 hours then study at college one day a week and bring up a baby.

I wanted to be hands on mum so when Scarlett was 6 months old. I bravely started the business. Everything I do is for my daughter. I hope one day she will be proud of me.

The business has changed so much since i started.

i have gone from dog walker to professional dog trainer in 10 years and also in 2023, I moved from Croydon to Bexhill.

My mission is to help and support pet gundog owners through the tricky teenage stage so owners don't have to resort to the heart- breaking decision to rehome their dog.

I know all to well how hard it is managing a teenage dog. My dog, Finn was a complete nightmare when he was going through the teenage stage. He would jump up at everyone he met, he pulled like a train, ignoring me and to top it off recall was non-existent. I felt like a failure.

There was light at the end of tunnel.
Finn is now 5 years old and I am always getting compliments of how well -behaved he is.

My youngest, Rose my working Springer Spaniel has just hit the teenage stage so I am going through the same challenges.

That's why I developed my 'tame your teen' formula which has now transformed lives of many frustrated pet gundog owners.

I hope I can continue to do so for many years to come.

In celebration of Pawtastic's 10th birthday, I am giving you 20% (£159.20) off a basic package ( 2 sessions).
This is an absolute steal!
I charge normally £199 for basic package.
You have not got long.
This no - brainer offer will run out Wednesday 14th at 10pm.

https://calendly.com/pawga/birthdaybashoffer

See you soon

Harriet

p.s If you fancy popping in to St Stephen's Church at 12pm today and joining me to celebrate, message me, love to see you.

Puppy biting can be rather frustrating.
Most of the time, when you puppy is biting, he is trying to tell you something it could be over - tired, over - stimulated or had enough of being handled.

Watch my 3 tips to stop puppy biting and then set your puppy up for success by signing up for my ‘tame your problem puppy class’ in September
Here’s all the info

I’m at the summer dog show at Pebsham community Hub with the chief Pawrette Finn. Come down and say hello 🐶

31/07/2024

I have recently started running.
On my first one, I thought I was going to die.
I quickly realised running is a lot different to walking.
I was hurt in places, I didn't think I could hurt.
But strangely, I caught the runners high and loved it!

Full disclosure.
I was a bit stupid.
I ran in just an old pair of trainers.
I loved it so much, I ran everyday.
I quickly realised that was a mistake.
I got injured........

I was gutted.
I was in so much pain.
My right hamstrings and knee was not happy.
It was all my thought.

So I put ice on it and rested for a few weeks.
Despite being so desperate to go out on a run.
It's only when we are in pain that we actually ask for help.
That's what I did.
I researched what I did wrong and got in touch with other runners.

On the advice I was given, I got myself a good pair of running trainers.
I started doing strengthening exercises.
There was no way I was going to get injured again.
I have been gradually going from walking to running.

That is what I should have done at the beginning.
But in my defence I didn't know.
From having the right advice, I have gone from barely able to run to easily running a 5km.

It is same with dog training.
We think, we can do it ourselves.
The truth is we cant and need the help of professional who knows more than us.

Once I started making changes to my running and get the right help
Then everything become easy and more enjoyable.
This can happen to you.

I still have a few spaces for my evening teenage class which kicks off on the 9th of September.

I like to go for a beach walk a few times a week.
If you can time it right then it is the best place to be.
I love it when the tide is out and I can walk bare feet on the sand.
It's so relaxing and sea is calm.

Last Thursday, It wasn't the normal relaxing beach walk.
I was doing a bit of whistle training with Finn on the sand.
When I heard a loud noise above us.
It was a low helicopter.

I could see Finn was looking a bit alarmed.
If I am being honest I was a little worried.
I quickly put my hand in my treat pouch and grabbed a treat.
I give Finn a treat so I could pair the loud noise with something good. That did the trick.
Then I heard another loud noise and a second one appeared
so I continued giving him treats.
Both helicopters left
Phew I thought.

So we carried on with our walk.
Then I looked further down the beach.
I saw two riders on horses.

Ah I thought no not today.
On the two occasions, we have saw a horse Finn has lunged and barked.
When I lived in Croydon, I didn't see many horses so it wasn't something i could prepare for.
I knew I had to do something as they were coming near us.

So I know I had to act fast.
I called Finn to my side and walked across them towards the pebbles.
He did notice the horses so I did grab his collar to be on the safe side.
I did wonder, should I put him on lead, but I didn't need to in the end.
Same process as before.
I fed him treats.
I kept talking to him 'good boy' I said trying not to let him know how much I was panicking inside.

They passed us.
He wasn't bothered at all.
Relief.
I was over the moon.
Not sure if it was luck or I had played a blinder.

Whatever it was, it was a win,
I think the main reason why it worked was I remained calm and acted quickly.
And would you believe it.......
A few days later, we will walking down my road and we saw a horse.
Finn just looked at me and I said 'good boy' and carried on walking.

Just shows, we need to be ready for anything.
With the right training, we can handle every distraction.
This is what I will be teaching in my 'tame your teenager Progression' 4 week outside course.
Real life training that you can implement on your walks straight way.
Each week, we will be going to a different location.

If you are struggling out and about, then this might be the course for you.
We start on Monday 15th July - only a few spaces left.

Last weekend, I was in Sunderland attending Impact 2024 The Pet Business Summit.
This year, It was a superhero themed.
I got to meet Spiderman, Batman, Hulk and Supergirl.
I couldn't contain my excitement of having a selfie with Spiderman. He is my favourite. I was totally in my element.

I had an amazing two days.
We had a lovely dinner followed by a awards ceremony, where I won
Best Niched Dog Trainer Award.
Yay, it was a honour as usual.

I laughed and learnt lots.
It was great spending time with other like-minded pet professionals.
We shared our wins and challenges.
Everyone is so supportive.

A few weeks ago, I had the honour of presenting a webinar as a guest speaker for one of my fellow pet professionals, Tim Jackson.
He runs a very successful doggy daycare, Pets2impress in South Shields.

The talk was about canine Enrichment.
I am not going to lie, I was very nervous but it was great experience.
I loved it.

If you have done any sort of training with me, you will know I like teaching stuff you can implement on your everyday walks.
I spoke about my 'FHC'
Focus
Hunting (find it and sniffing)
Chasing
These are the 3 things that I do on every walk to channel my dog's natural instinct.
It went down a storm!

There were quite a lot of people on the teleclass which I was surprised about.
At the end, they all had lots of questions for me and really on board with what I was saying.
One lovely lady, Kate Henderson had this to say;

‘I recently attended an online teleclass with Harriet and I loved every second of it! Harriet is a very friendly, engaging and personable lady who is clearly knowledgeable about her area of expertise. She tailored her advice to each breed of dog that the attendees had and everything in a clear and simple manner so that it was easy to understand. Her enthusiasm was very infectious, and I am really looking forward to putting her advice into practice with my dog. I was left with lots of new ideas as to how to engage with my dog and how to use my dog’s natural instinctive behaviour when out walking with her and whilst do training with her to really enhance our results. If you have a chance to do any form of training with Harriet, I would highly recommend that you take the opportunity to do so!;

When I read those words, it put such a smile on my face!

I will be giving you ideas of how you can use your dog's natural instincts on walks in my new 'Tame your teenage dog Progression 4 week Outside class.

If your dog is ignoring you and more interested in running up to every dog and dragging you around the park or distracted by squirrels, people and birds etc, then this is the outside course for you.

I will be starting on Monday 15th July 2024 at 6:30pm.
First class will be held at the Downs in Bexhill and then a different location every week.
It will be different things that you can implement in your every day walks.
Spaces will be limited.

I will be releasing the booking link next week. if you have completed my 'tame your teenage troublemaker' class then this should be your next step.

If you are interested then message me

This week, I have been taking Rose to different locations.We have been to the beach, Collington woods and the park. This is exactly what happens in my progression outside class which starts again in October. I really did test little Rose and she has done amazing.It wasn't perfect but training isn't. I set two goals before we left. One was to walk nicely on lead which she did most of the time. Two was to able to give me focus when other dogs were around, which she did. I was happy with that but I did have a little bit of help. To find out watch my Spaniel tip below. It is helpful to set goals. When you come to my classes, I ask every owner what they want to get out of the course and every week we work hard to achieve what they want. You can do the same by coming to one of my classes.

What is a flirt pole

I have to be honest it’s way too warm for me. I like it warm but not this warm. In the morning, I have been walking the dogs at Collington Woods, which has been a nice change. It has been a lot cooler in there, which suits me and the dogs. i have been skipping the evening walks which means I have had more time training with Rose. We have been working on a placeboard and playing with a flirt pole. What's a flirt pole.............I hear you cry........Don't worry it's nothing rude. i reveal all, in this video. Try it with your dog. If your dog loves it like Rose, you could even take it to the park. #flirtpole #bexhillonsea #bexhillgundogtrainer #bexhilldoglovers #bexhill

As you may know it's Pet Appreciation Week. On Sunday, I talked about my Finn. I thought, I can't leave out Rose. If you have been following her progress, she has just turned one year old. She is very much in the teenage stage, some days she is amazing and some days she acts like she has completely done deaf. All completely normal but very frustrating even for a dog trainer. I will tell you my secret weapon to getting Rose to do what I want. You won't believe it when I tell you........... Drum roll please ..................... Celery, she loves celery more than anything she gets all excited, when she sees it. I have even started using it as treats when we are outside and it works. Here's a little video of Rose having celery, this will make you laugh! Please continue to share with me your pet appreciation, in the comments. Just a reminder ................ Evening classes start on Monday 10th June - Only have one space left. Daytime class start on Friday 14th June - only 2 spaces left.

Over the last few years, it has been a growing trend to take our dogs to an enclosed field. It has it's benefits, you get to let your dog off and exercise him without worrying he will run off. However, if you then take him to the park and expect him to listen to you. Your dog does not understand the difference. If you only take him to enclosed field, there is no way you could go back to going to public parks. Your dog would have learnt that he can run off and do what he likes, I call this becoming self employed. Any one who owes a gundog knows, this is not good and will led to stressful walks. Like with Rose, my working springer, I limit the amount of free-time she has. Here's a quick video I did with Finn, sharing my thoughts on enclosed fields If you do take your dog to enclosed field, I would encourage that you put a long line on and work on getting your dog's focus. Call your dog in a cheerful way many times as dogs learn through repetition. When your dog comes to you, reward him in a way that will motivate him to do it again such as fuss, treats or toys. Treat it like a public field, so when you do go to the woods or park, your dog will be more focused on you. Gundog training can help with focus and connection. You are providing an outlet for your gundog's natural instincts while building a great relationship. https://pawtasticgundogadventures.co.uk/gundog-training/ I will be running gundog classes at the end of April, I will be announcing the dates next week so keep your eyes peeled. If you want the booking links before anyone else then message me and I will add you to the waiting list. Until next time Harriet x #bexhill_on_sea #bexhill #bexhillgundogtrainer #bexhillgundogs #enclosedfield #bexhillgundoglovers

How to properly socialise your dog?

I don't know about you but I am getting really fed up with the weather. I can't wait for summer dry days. Every time Rose goes out to the garden, she looks like she has had a muddy bath. I can hear the noise as she runs and skids in the mud. If you have a Spaniel, you will understand what I mean. On Monday, I was walking Finn at the Beach. On the way back to the car. A man yelled from the other side of the street 'Are you getting fed off of the mud at the Downs too' I looked over and there was a familiar looking man with his black Labrador, I had indeed saw them before at the Downs where I normally go. I shouted back 'Yes isn't it horrible there'. it is amazing how many people recognise you when you are out. I am not really a chatty person when walking my dog. I like to keep myself to myself and spent time with my dog. Finn isn't that social either. That is actually how I like it. I talk about how to properly socialise your dog in this video. It is more than just meeting lots of different dogs. Grab a brew and have a watch. I briefly talk about socialisation and body language in my classes New dates will be added soon but in the meantime you can still apply for a space. https://pawtasticgundogadventures.co.uk/teen-classes/ Until next time Harriet
