🐾 Unlock the Joy of Dog Sports! 🐾

Ever thought about trying dog sports just for fun? It’s a fun experience that benefits both you and your pup in so many ways! 🐢❀️

✨ Strengthen Your Bond: Engaging in dog sports creates a deeper bond between you & your pup. Celebrate every small victory and watch your relationship blossom!

πŸ’ͺ Stay Active and Healthy: Dog sports are a fantastic way for both you and your pup to stay fit and burn off energy. It’s exercise disguised as playtime!

🧠 Boost Mental Stimulation: These activities challenge your dog's mind, keeping them sharp and focused. A stimulated & mentally tired dog is a happy dog!

😁 Build Confidence: Helps build your dog's confidence as they master new skills and overcome challenges!

πŸŽ‰ Have Fun and Make Friends: Joining a local dog sports group is a great way to meet like-minded dog lovers and have a blast together. It’s all about the joy, not the competition!

We've got lots of sports classes running throughout the year - so check them out & come and join us!πŸ•βœ¨

⭐ Automatic-Sit ⭐ our puppies absolutely nailed this one last week!

🐾 Theoretically a very simple one (although don't be fooled - getting them to focus and sit whilst there are other puppies around is by no means an easy thing!), we like this as a safety one
πŸš— If you're waiting to cross the road, it's much safer to know that your pup will sit - and stay sat - whilst you wait, instead of having them milling around at your feet and potentially out into the road
πŸ‘€ So, if you're local and happen to see people with their puppies zig-zagging down your road practicing their puppies' sit & wait & cross - that'll be these guys acing their training πŸ’ͺ

It's the pace and excitement of agility - but with a gentler course that doesn't have any jumps. The courses are a flowing series of hoops, barrels & tunnels

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Here at Henry's Paw Prints, we don't just cater for tiny puppies - we want the older dogs to be included too πŸ–€ πŸ’™
🐾 Training is a life long commitment - if you don't use it, you'll lose it!
🐾 Over the years, it's easy to fall into 'bad habits'. But you can get those good behaviours back
🐾 Training is mentally stimulating & enriching, which is good for any dog - even (or maybe especially) the older ones
🐾 Training enhances your bond with your dog AND it's really good fun for everyone

Here's a quick look at what we've got coming up for the older pups out there....
🌟 Level 2 Dog Training
Our standard training course, going back over all the basics to fine tune them, and a few more advanced exercises to add a bit of flair to your training. 5 week block starting next week! Book here:

A low-impact alternative to agility. Great fun for everyone, and perfect for any dog with mobility limitations
https://tidycal.com/henryspawprints/hoopers

🌟 Treibball
A low-impact, herding sport that really gets their brains working!
https://tidycal.com/henryspawprints/treibball

🌟 Life Skills Training Club
A rolling weekly club packed with lots of fun training games, and rosettes and certificates as you pass each Life Skill Grade (6 to collect!)

Not training related, but please could everyone keep their eyes pealed for this little girl πŸ™

Can you help find Hannah? 🐾

She isn’t one of our dogs but we are connected through one of our fosters.

Hannah is a very timid doggie, missing since Tuesday. Sadly there have been no sightings so far.

If you can please share this post or comment so that it is pushed to more people through Facebook we will be grateful.

Let’s hope this little girl finds her way back home where she belongs.

🀩 This little guy is doing so well!!

Cooper came into classes very anxious with other people being around. We've done lots of gentle work to help him feel comfortable over the weeks, and last week it all came good! Not only did he come up to me to say hello, but he spent the entire class right in the middle of all the hubub, and smashed every exercise we did πŸ’ͺ

Well Done Cooper! We're so proud of you!! 😁

**What a picture from a Dog Training Class silently hints at....**

πŸ‘€ To the untrained eye, this looks like a nice picture of a couple of really cute dogs sitting next to their owners.

BUT let me tell you what was going on just moments before, and exactly what these dogs had to do for this picture to ever exist.....

🐾 They had to focus on their owner whilst outside in the middle of a field that is sometimes used for livestock. Smells & distractions galore!
🐾 They had to demonstrate some stunning loose lead walking around said distracting field
🐾 They had to then approach each other on a loose lead and greet each other (& the other person) politely, before recalling away from each other and continuing on their way

⭐️ So, when you see a still image from a Dog Training class, don't underestimate just how much work the dogs & owners have put in to get that stunning shot!!
