Incredible day on Thursday, spending the day surrounded by fellow canine professionals, listening & learning in awe of Ken ramirez.
Thank you so much to the The IMDT for hosting.

Ken is kind of a big deal when it comes to positive reinforcement training, not just dogs but all manner of species!

Training should always be fun & rewarding for all animals & learning how positive training has been proven to increase life expectancy of those animals should be a huge incentive to everyone to treat positive training as an essential not just an option.

Thank you so much for all of your dedication & teachings Ken

Huge congratulations to Tracy & Daisy for gaining a clean sweep and 100 points (full marks) on their 3rd ever Scentwork UK trial 👏
This is a massive achievement for any dog & handler team but especially proud of all of their hard work with Daisy being Reactive and very sensitive to certain environments.
Well done team!

RECALL SUCCESS FOR TEAM ISLA!
I was so proud & delighted to receive this pupdate over the weekend I just had to share it with you all.
Adolescent rescue dog (HPR breed) takes a dedicated, understanding owner and thankfully Isla has landed herself just that!
They attend our scent classes, Wednesday obedience sessions & recall workshops but most importantly they take away the exercises they learn, practice and progress.
Go team Isla 🙌

Yesss 🥳 Daisy absolutely smashing her indication training!

INDICATION:
Today we looked at one of the three key principles in scentwork, indication!
All have scent ID and searches are great fun but building solid foundations in how the dog communicates back to the handler is very important.
Great work everyone in building duration and shaping in those desirable behaviours.

Discount code for tug e nuff toys: SAMSPAMPEREDPAWS

My thoughts - This game would be suitable for those with strong recall foundations looking to introduce training to ignore distractions.

Get set to play Recall Relay! This fun game will take your recall skills up a gear so you can teach your dog to come when called (even when very exciting thi...

🐾BEACH READY? 🐾
Far too many times have we heard people testing off lead recall for the first time when away from home, on holiday at the beach, this is extremely hazardous!

If your goal is to have an established recall then please reach out to us for recall training way in advance of your holidays

Only consider granting freedom if you can complete this checklist:
✅ The beach is dog friendly
✅ Your dog is able to check in and focus on you (on lead)
✅ Recall training established in a variety of environments (including distractions)
✅ ID tag & Microchip information up to date
Please:
✅Don't be afraid to use a long line and see it as a training opportunity
