🐾 That’s a wrap on training for 2025! 🐾

As the days get shorter, the weather gets wetter and my joints start to creak a little louder, I’m officially heading into hibernation mode for the winter. 🌧️❄️🐻

Thank you to everyone who joined me with their dogs this year – it’s been brilliant watching you all progress together. ❤️

I’ll be back, fresh and ready, when the days get longer in Spring 2026. Until then, enjoy your winter walks, keep training ticking along and give your dogs an extra cuddle from me. 🐶💤

Today I picked up some frozen bone broth treats for the girls to enjoy as a cooling afternoon snack.

They both found them a bit challenging to eat in the bowls, which was a bonus as it meant they took their time to lick them rather than swallowing them whole!

They are both now having a snooze after all that hard work 🤣

(Yes, that’s a bed outside so the dogs can sunbathe in comfort. No, we don’t let them lie out there at the hottest parts of the day.)

Get a free Pocket PowerBall Fauxtastic when you buy 2 full priced Tug-E-Nuff toys!!

I am a fan of all of the bungee range in particular, especially if your dog is a strong tugger as the elastic makes play kinder on both yours and your dog’s bodies.

This clever pup is working on building a clear, still indication — that moment where they freeze to show they’ve found the target scent 👃🐾

We’re using a large tin for this exercise. Why?
🔹 It gives a bigger surface area to reward at the right moment
🔹 It helps reduce frustration by making the target easier to locate
🔹 And most importantly for this dog — it prevents him from getting his teeth around the target object! 😅

Every dog is different, so I adjust the setup to help them succeed. In this case, we’re working on rewarding calm stillness rather than pawing or mouthing the scent source.

Solid indications are key for reliable scent work — and it’s so rewarding to see them progress!
