Remy is just 4 months old and already understands the importance of neutrality, concentration to me, and to follow and engage with me. A huge life skill that is easy if you start young!

Getting into training…

I remember when I was first getting into IGP or enjoying training my dog…

I had the passion and the want but I struggled so much with the how… sometimes getting to regular club days or training sessions was hard. Work and life can have the habit of getting in the way!!

It’s because of this I have decided to offer a very limited amount of online coaching places. We can work together to improve elements of training whether it be the sport or general day to day activities.

You will be given the opportunity to have regular coaching sessions with myself and each coaching plan will developed individually.

For more information send me a DM please be mindful these spaces are limited 💪🏻

❤️

ATHOS

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS DENMARK 🇩🇰

Not the overall score we hoped for but Athos worked super hard in the tracking to get round. We were super pleased with his protection round.

And the best part of all the kids came out to watch.

• MOTIVATION •

So at the end of todays training session, Harry climbed up the A-frame and said I’m doing it like the dogs 😂, the weather has been so nice and the children have been up training with us. It’s so nice to have them there, and it reminds me of what we do it for.

They are my motivation and the reason I strive to do the best I can…

What keeps you motivated?

A full obedience session in 25 seconds…

Building on fitness within the obedience routine, working on training elements as working through the program.

Do you train the full program or break it down?

ITS NOT JUST YOU!!!

Have you ever felt disheartened with training?

It’s so hard to not think
“ I wish my dog did it like that!”
“ I wish I could train like they do!”
“ What can I do to make it better?”

We have all thought these things from time to time and I would be lying if I said I was always positive about training and my dogs. Anybody that knows me will know how critical I am of both myself and my dogs.

HOWEVER….

Over the years competing, I have learnt you can’t compare yourself or your dog to anyone else. I have heard it said many times, you can only compete with yourself. Improve on your achievements, these have to be your motivation. Comparing yourself to others only holds you back!

So I know you all asked for obedience videos, but unfortunately try as we may this weather is not allowing for obedience ⛈

So instead we had fun with the dogs and a flooded field, have you managed to get your dogs out in the storm?

Hope everyone has kept safe

Maybe I give up with the GSDs???

I mean how can you not love these little guys… the kids absolutely love having dogs in they can help with. It’s such a humbling experience to watch your children want to follow in your steps 😌

Do you have a family dog?

What can we say…..

We represented the UK 🇬🇧 as team number one. A massive privilege in itself, we qualified at the WUSV with 93/77/88 with some costly mistakes.

Overall I’m happy with how Athos showed himself and I am looking forward to preparing him again for Denmark 🇩🇰 next year.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported and helped me especially from and
