Happy Valentine’s Day 🌹❤️
Opted for some training indoors rather than going out for another walk 🫣 this rain is horrible!
Training session with Loki and his Mum this morning to work on some focus and heeling on lead around the distraction of other dogs. They both did great! 👏🐾
Loved my session with Kelly and Jack this afternoon. Jack is a 7 year old springer who is ball mad and classic case of wants to get everywhere at 100mph on a walk (typical spaniel 😂❤️) He’s shown that he can walk nicely on a lead, now just need to unpick the years of muscle memory to form new habits 😁
Who fancies a dog training challenge? Turn your back to your dog and ask them for a cue they already know. Will they still do it? Let me know if you give it a try 😀 bonus points for videos 🤗
Always the hardest part of the job is saying goodbye! Laddie is moving away so we had our last walk together today. Yes I did sit in the van for about 10 minutes like this before I dropped him home 😭 Wishing him and his family all the best with their move! Looking forward to seeing pictures of him on the beach! 🐾❤️
Rescue puppy Rolo ❤️
Rolo’s owner got in touch because he displays reactive behaviour on a walk and is extremely nervous. Once I’d shown his owner a few different handling techniques and food delivery patterns, Rolo caught on very fast and we had no reactions for the rest of the time we were out. I will be sending over a load of confidence building exercises for them as homework, and to continue the training whilst outside of the house. Reactions will happen, but knowing how to try and prevent them, and how to handle them and move forward is so important. Well done to Rolo and his human!
Why walk, when you can strut? 💁🏼♀️😂🐾
Bad day? Go and spend some time with your dogs!
