Peak Performance K9

Mia joined me for a training walk recently. I've known Mia a long time, so it was lovely getting out with her! As an assistant dog, Mia has certain behaviours she must consistently perform to retain her qualification, so we spent time solidifying these behaviours. Then we had a play around with some other commands Mia knows, which made us realise we have some homework to do with Mia dropping things! 🙈 Cheeky monkey! #elevateyourtraining #assistancedog #assistancedogintraining

Super loose lead walking and focus from this little man on our recent training walk 😍 Want help with your dogs lead walking? Or maybe you want to find out more about training walks? Feel free to get in touch! 🐾 #elevateyourtraining #looseleadwalking

I think Malu was happy to see me 🧡 I could hear her tail wagging against the door the second I got out the van 🙊 The relationships we as trainers, make with you and your dogs are so important! We are all working together after all, building that bond and improving that partnership. And it's always a great feeling when they are happy to see us! 🐾 #elevateyourtraining #happydog #happytrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainer #trainingwalks

This might not look like much. Just 2 dogs going for a walk right? Bonnie struggles with some over arousal around dogs, she can become fixated and a little 'rude'. So Suki joined us to show Bonnie how to just be a dog, be neutral, and learn some manners along the way. Bonnie was super! 🐾 Need help with your dogs over-arousal? Maybe they need some work around other dogs? Feel free to pop me a message! #elevateyourtraining #dogdistractions

Benny update! 🐾 I'll forever love getting client updates. I received this video over the weekend from Bennys owner, showing how great he is doing with his loose lead walking 🧡 Well done guys! Keep up the great work 🐾 Need help with loose lead walking? Fed up of your dog pulling on the lead? Want walks to be more enjoyable? Pop me a message to see how I can help! #elevateyourtraining

Problem solving fun! 💧🐾 Isla LOVES water! So what better way to cool her down, AND keep her brain active, than using some fun problem solving! As the weather heats up, do you have any fun ways to make sure your dogs are keeping cool?! ☀️ #elevateyourtraining

Rolo 🐾 I recently got to spend some time with this boy on a training walk. We focused mostly on gundog exercises, particularly retrieving to hand. Rolo knows a treat will happen if he brings his dummy back, so will drop it on the floor as he runs in, read to get his treat! So, I removed the treat and rewarded Rolo with the chase of the dummy, and continuation of the game, IF the dummy landed in my hand! Sometimes all we have to do is change our reward 🐾 #elevateyourtraining #gundogtraining #rewards

I LOVE this girl 🧡 We've been to lots of different places recently, to really work on Malu's focus and recall. We've had recent trips to Priory Park. Was it hard? Yes. Did we have to reset? Yes. BUT Malu remained focused, recalled every time from distractions, AND we had zero barking or lunging at people or dogs. Sometimes, we have to put ourselves and our dogs in slightly harder environments or situations to push forward with training. She also thinks she's a lap dog.. see final clip 🙊 #elevateyourtraining #movingforward #dogtraining

If only we were all as happy as Zeke 🙊🥰 We've been having fun with some gundog exercises recently, particularly looking at getting a super quick stop on the whistle, and adding in some distance. With a little bit of hunting to keep things fun in between! I love working with this boy! 🐾 #elevateyourtraining

Happy mothers day! 🧡🐾 Spent with family, drinking coffee and eating cake, accompanied by my best girls 🐾 Suki acted as a great hurdle for the staff, not moving from her down 🙈😂 #elevateyourtraining #enjoythemoment

Baby Blue! 🐾 Little Bluey has already cracked his loose lead walking! Look at those little check ins! It's all about rewarding the things we like, the 'good stuff' when they are puppies 🐾 #elevateyourtraining

Zeke! 🐾 After being attacked while having an on lead street walk with his family, Zeke unsurprisingly became very unsure of other dogs. He would often cower when dogs were around or actively avoid them. On his training walk today, we took the opportunity to show him that not all dogs are scary, and some can actually be friends! Zeke was balanced, relaxed, and playful, even having zoomies at the end with the girls. A huge step in the right direction for this boy! Also... I may want to steal him 🙊😍 #elevateyourtraining #confidencebuilding

Another Monday, another training session with Bonnie! 🐾 Bonnie is a opportunist. Previously she would pick up, grab or eat anything within reach on the floor, even on lead. We've been working hard to change this behaviour teaching her a leave it command. We still have a way to go, but she's smashing it! #elevateyourtraining

Loose lead walking 🐾 Is your dog pulling like a steam train? Need to sharpen up on their loose lead walking skills? Want your walk to be more enjoyable? Drop me a message now! I'd be happy to help! #elevateyourtraining #looseleadwalking

Tricks! We said to keep an eye out for our trick. Suki's favourite trick is 'Speak!' She gets very excited when asked to perform this trick, but it took a while for her to learn it, it was a little trial and error! Tricks are a great way to engage with your dog, to encourage problem solving, to curb boredom and to just have a little fun! Whats your dogs favourite trick?? Post a video or photo below! 🐾 #ElevateYourTraining #tricktraining #dogtrainingisfun

Stop whilstle training! Do you want a super speedy emergency stop like this? Having an emergency stop is crucial in pet dog and gundog training. It allows us to stop our dogs at a distance, prevent them from going further away, to redirect them for a search, or to even walk and catch them up. If you need help with your stop whistle, get in touch! #ElevateYourTraining #dogtraining #gundogtraining #petdogtraining #whistletraining

Is your dog displaying unusual behaviours or presenting challenges in your training efforts? Uncertain if it's a matter of concern? Unsure how to move forwards? Send us a video via messenger or WhatsApp, for your FREE video analysis! #ElevateYourTraining
