Huge congratulations to Helena and Roxanne for their WIN in a combined 3-5 agility class at Wilmslow KC Show on Saturday. Not only did they smash it in a big combined class, but it was also the last win needed to move up to Grade 6! Well done guys 😍😍😍

Spice had his first ever canicross race today, with It's Grim Up North Running at Swinsty Reservoir. He got on with his job better than I even dreamed, and we finished 4th overall, 3rd female (smashing a ton of PBs on the way). Shout out to fellow Nutters, David with Willow (2nd overall, 1st male) and Angela with Roux (who smashed their 5k PB) 😎 represent!

What a treat to be teaching agility outdoors at the field today! 😍 taking advantage of those blue skies 💙💚

Very proud of how all the dogs have handled working in tandem this week. Typically in our agility classes we work one dog at a time (and those who needed extra space of course still worked on their own) but I was really blown away by how so many of the dogs conducted themselves. Definitely something we are excited to work on more in the future! 🥰

When the dog understood the camouflage assignment perfectly 😂 👌

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Sue and Monty, he has come such a long way in just a few sessions - he's an absolute credit to his devoted owner and all her hard work! From a dog who was distracted and disengaged to focused, checking in regularly and even choosing his handler over making mischief. What a dude!

Next step for Monty is our Bronze Teamwork Award group classes, and after that who knows! The world is this duo's oyster 🤎

Small steps build big behaviours 💪

Whether it's sports or "just" standard life/training skills, rushing won't get you where you want to be. Break things down, celebrate the little wins, and keep your eyes on the goal.

Great post from Gemma! 🎃

𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙨 😋

Halloween can be fun for some, but can pose various challenges for dogs. Below are some things to be mindful of this Halloween to keep your canine friends happy and safe.

🎃𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝. Many Halloween treats can be toxic to dogs, especially chocolate.

🎃𝘾𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. Dressing up can be fun for humans, but a lot of dogs will not appreciate wearing an outfit. Take into consideration your dog’s feelings on this matter, it may be fun for us but if it’s scary for your dog, it’s just not worth it. (This may seem hypocritical advice seeing as though I will often dress my dogs up for seasonal pictures…. however I spend time training my dogs to accept wearing these novel things for short periods of time to get pictures to make people smile. I take the same approach to wearing rabbit ears or a witches hat etc as I do co operative care, or muzzle training. In the case of dressing up for pictures, if they weren’t comfortable or didn’t want to do it, that would be that!. I actually think training them to accept novel items is useful, as they learn to accept new strange things, and not find them scary).

🎃𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚. People in costumes, trick or treaters or parties can be noisy and scary to some dogs. Create a safe quiet space for them to get away from it all and relax without being disturbed.

🎃𝘿𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮. If you have a dog that is prone to bolting out of doorways, make sure safety measures are put in place to avoid this occurring. These safety measures may include making sure your dog has a collar with ID on it in case of the worst case scenario. Also, keeping your dog separate from the main thoroughfare ( safe space for them, peace of mind for you).

🎃 𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙮. Some decorations can pose hazards to dogs, be mindful of where you place things like candles for example.

🎃 𝙆𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙜𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙨. Not all dogs are social butterflies, and that’s fine. Bear them in mind when you make your Halloween plans.

Happy howl-o-ween to all those who celebrate! 👻🎃👻

Thankfully our living room is at the back of the house, so we’ll have the lights off and be living our best undetected life watching a scary movie with the log burner on. Is there a bah humbug version for Halloween does anybody know? 🙊😂😂😂
