Still looking for that little something to put you in the full festive spirit? How about lots of adorable dogs posing in a festive photobooth – you’re welcome!
Many of our Essential Life Skills classes have taken on the challenge of the dogs holding a duration pose whilst a festive photobooth scene is built around them – and the results speak for themselves. Here’s a few of the dogs in their final poses. Amazing training and the cutest photos. Well done to all our classmates for working so hard. 🐶🎀🎁

Click-2-Heel founder and renowned dog trainer, Di Martin explains how prevention is definitely better than cure when it comes to puppies and resource guarding. By understanding how dogs think, feel and learn, we can avoid this often man-made rehoming issue.

Picture the scene: you are sitting in a pub garden, enjoying a bite to eat, when I walk over and take your plate for a couple of seconds before giving it back to you. How would you feel, both in that moment and later? The next time I approach you, you would be wary of my intentions and either walk away with your plate or remonstrate with me. However, how would you feel if I walked over with some extra bread or another bowl of chips to offer you? Your puppy is likely to feel the same way.

Prevention is definitely better than cure when it comes to puppies and resource guarding. Avoid this often man-made rehoming issue.

ADVENT SCENTWORK

This week our rolling scent detection class had fun and games with an advent-themed special. The dogs were presented with a giant hanging advent calendar, with the challenge of finding the gun-oil scented numbered envelopes. The handlers were given the next challenge – to convert these numbers into letters and solve the Christmas-themed anagrams (to unlock the prizes). It was smiles, laughs and prizes all round, as well as some excellent scent-detection work from all the dogs….Thank you to our lovely clients for embracing our fun festive challenges.

Massive congratulations to our client Gill and her gorgeous girl Cilla for winning the Scentwork UK Trial at the weekend. They were awarded First Place after finding all six scent hides, with no false indications and no handling deductions, giving them a perfect score of 100%. And to top that, they also completed the trial searches in the fastest time. What superstars! We’re so proud of you both.

Gill and Cilla train in the Click-2-Heel rolling scent detection class, building all the skills needed for Scentwork UK and National Nosework Association Trials. And those skills were needed more than ever this weekend. With Storm Bert in action, Cilla had to contend with pouring rain and swirling winds for the outdoor elements of the trial, including locating a tiny scent hide on the 10m-long front wall of a cricket pavilion, but she kept her laser focus on the task and all their hard work, training and preparation paid off. Here they are with their well-deserved trophy, certificate and rosette (and taking a well-earned shelter from the elements!).

Using play as part of training and interaction with a puppy has many benefits, especially when establishing a strong bond and foundational skills.

Join the Click-2-Heel trainers for two Pack Walks for Spring 2024.
A reminder of how the walks work….

What are Pack Walks?
These walks have been designed to take some of the learning from our Puppy and Essential Life Skills class into an outdoor environment. It is a great location to show you how to engage your dog in various games and training activities as well as show you how to make use of the environment to better manage your dog in outdoor situations. The walk is an hour long and all on lead which aims to gain confidence, calmness and trust around other dogs as well as building handler skills. We include plenty of games and activities to make the session fun for you and your dog.

Who are the walks for?
Our pack walks are suitable for all dogs and owners that are training with Click-2-Heel. Puppies are welcome as it is a slow walk and if the going gets tough and puppy is tired, there are plenty of opportunities to head back to the car park.

What do I need to bring?
A well rested dog so they are ready to engage and learn and some high reward treats. We are not expecting your dogs to walk to heel at this level of distraction so please have your dog in a harness to save pressure on the neck. Bring a bag with different goodies in for your dog that can be used on the walk (a tug toy, extra treats, waterproof settle mat, water, bowl, poo bags, licky tube, chew)

What if your dog is reactive to people or dogs?
You should contact us first as a behavioural consult is required to ensure you fully understand techniques to ensure your dog is not stressed by the situation. As training progresses this is an ideal environment to work on the techniques you have been shown. Please ensure your dog is wearing something yellow to highlight to others on the walk to give your dog the space he needs - try www.yellowdoguk.co.uk for further information.

When and where?
We meet in the main Car Park off Lily Hill Drive (top of the hill). You do not have to call to reserve a space. Just turn up on the day and we will see you there. Please wear suitable clothing.

How much does the walk cost?
The walk cost is £10 payable in cash on the day.

Congratulations to Butterscotch the Corgi, the latest of our clients to pass their Essential Life Skills Rookie Level Assessment. Here she is with her celebratory cupcake! We’re really proud of you Butters and we love training with you. Rookie might be the first level of our life skills programme, but it’s far from a basic achievement. This represents months of work from Butters and her owners to prove her ability in a wide range of behaviours.

Butters has been assessed in performing more than 30 skills and behaviours, each needing to be performed on three separate occasions (to prove it wasn’t luck!). The behaviours cover a wide range of life skills needed for dogs, including recall, leadwork, target work, social skills with people, social skills with other dogs, handling/husbandry, confidence builders, domestic and household manners, impulse control, focus and motivation for training.

Butters’ family say, “…our thanks to everyone at Click2Heel involved in her training for making her the dog that she is today, and for the multiple times you've had to reassure us when we thought it was all going wrong. She's doing so well, and we are so proud of her. On to the Graduate level!”

If you’d like to take your training to the next level, email [email protected] to find out about our 121 training and Essential Life Skills classes.
