Massive shout out to our Obedience Club Members Dave and Lily πŸ“’

They have worked so hard on their sit stays. Just last year, Dave couldn't walk more than 15 feet away from Lily when she was in a stay.
Well look at them now πŸ‘€

A HUGE distance, and Lily was steady as a rock. This is also with 4 other dogs training around them.

Such a big achievement for them both πŸŽ‰

Morning all, I'm a little behind on admin πŸ™ˆ

Rest assured, anyone waiting on session notes will have them by the end of the day.

So sorry for the delay.

Have a lovely Sunday β˜€οΈ

Here we go again πŸ™„ β˜€οΈ

Sadly, I heard that last week, a poor dog died locally after being left in a car on a warm day.

Ignorance really isn't an excuse. If you have ever gotten into a car on a warm day, you'd have felt the heat. It's just ridiculous to claim ignorance of how heat effects dogs. If you're hot, so are they πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

You can change your clothes to suit the weather, they can't take any layers off.

You can sweat to regulate your temperature, they can't.

You can move freely, into the shade, get a drink when you want, they can't.

Don't be fooled that because they continue to walk, or chase a ball, that they're coping. A dog will literally run itself to heat exhaustion. Play fetch till they collapse.
They WILL run themselves to death.

If you have to go out, for instance those that don't have gardens for toilet trips or you have a vet/grooming appointment to get to, lots to drink, cool coats, shade, douse with water etc. before, during, and after.

But please, when it is a hot day, walk them early morning, or late in the evening, and for the rest of the day, just leave them safe at home πŸ‘

A few weeks ago we met Peggy, Bear, & Frankie the Frenchie for a behaviour consultation.

Their owners wanted a bit of help managing some conflicts that kept popping up between the dogs. It's quite common for their to be some disagreements in multidog homes, no different to a family home. Some get on better than others, some get on perfectly, some rub each other up the wrong way.

We asked a lot of questions, met each dog, and observed their interactions with each other and the family.

It didn't take long to establish that Bear seemed to be at the centre of most of the bust ups. He's young and a bit of a dick sw***er. Peggy and Frankie on the other hand, will try and "talk it out" so to speak.

We went over what to look out for, made much easier with how knowledgable the dogs owners are already, and also how to apply some boundaries to Bear to keep him in line and prevent situations escalating.

Everyone involved did great in the session and I have no doubt, will continue to do so.

Brilliant work team Frankie, Peggy, & Bear 🐾

Some of our super smart puppy class graduates from the Spring term 🌸

Some really amazing work from each of them and their handlers. Was a privilege to see them progress from week to week.

Going to miss you all, Watson, Pennie, Maisie, Rio, Rocco, Wilf, Ottie, Douglas, and Poppy 🐾

A little while ago we met the handsome Woody for a puppy training session.

Being a Lurcher, of course, recall was on the cards. Along side that, we introduced some impulse control too in the form of a "Leave It" command. Impulse control training is top of my list with my own dogs, there's so many situations that it can be used in.

Woody smashed it in his session and will hopefully continue to do so at home.

Great work team Woody 🐾

This beautiful little girl is Wanda. We first met her and her owner late last year to help with some reactivity.

Wanda's owner got our behaviour training pass, which is 4 hours of training, which we then split into small sessions, used as and when you need it. Ideal for reactivity training. Every few weeks, we get to work with an exposure session.

The change in Wanda has been brilliant to see. Her owner has put the work in, pushed her own limits, and jumped at the chance to train around friends and their dogs.

I'm so bloody proud of them both. Great work team Wanda 🐾

Muzzles πŸ™ŠπŸ©πŸΎ

So, I've had a few clients lately that have to, for various reasons, muzzle their dogs. And I'm so pleased to see more people being happy to do this.

Trained and used correctly, muzzles are a great tool. They provide safety for all involved.

Whether it be for the owners safety, because their dog redirects during a reaction.

Other dogs' safety, because their dog is dog aggressive.

Human safety, because their dog is human aggressive or touch sensitive.

Or their own dogs safety because they eat dangerous/inedible things when on a walk.

Please don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed to muzzle your dog, it shows, the right people anyway, that you are responsible and care about your dogs safety.

But, please make sure you are using the right muzzle. Fabric sleeve muzzles should only be used for very short periods, literally minutes, for vet/grooming appointments.

For walks, or anything over 5 minutes, dog should wear a basket type muzzle that allows them to fully open their mouth. They should be able to easily pant, eat, and drink through a properly fitted muzzle. Pictures below to help.

With the warmer weather here, it is vital that your dog can pant to regulate their temperature and cool themselves down. If they can't, they can become seriously unwell with heatstroke.

A properly fitted muzzle is an investment in your dogs health and wellbeing. Pay the extra, and get a decent muzzle. And by that, I do mean that 99% of the muzzles in most pet shops, are not fit for everyday use πŸ™ˆ
They are often sold in estimated sizes based on breed. I have two Rottweiler's, one muzzle doesn't fit them both πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ They are completely different sizes. So in this case, one size does not fit all and breed spacific sizes aren't always accurate. Always look at measurements and if they're not spot on, go for a custom made muzzle.

But again, well done to those for taking the extra step for their dogs safety, you're doing the right thing by all πŸ‘

Obedience Club Taster Days πŸŽ‰

I have a couple of slots left on our taster days on either Saturday the 17th at 12pm or Sunday 18th of May at 10am.

We will be starting a second group this year so the taster day is for you to have some fun and see what ATD Obedience Club is all about.

One of my favourite parts of my job is my Obedience Club.

We have so much fun and have really created a supportive training family πŸ‘Œ

If you're interested in joining a fun, laid back training environment, then ATD Obedience Club may be the one for you!
Everyone has their own goals, moves at their own pace, and there is no minimum training requirement to join. All that is asked is that your dog is friendly, non-reactive, over a year old, and that owners have a sense of humour!

If that's you and you want to know more, then pop us a message to book on to one of our OB Club taster days. Here you can have some fun and get to know the trainers.

Our free taster day will be held at All Things Dog Secure Fun Fields in Burwash TN19 7HL.

What some of our current OB Club members have said,

"We love obedience club at ATD. We get loads of inspiration and guidance on new things to try and have made so much progress. Hollie is always happy to be flexible if there is something specific we want to work on. Its also just fun and easy-going. The really telling thing is how Daisy whines with excitement as we pull up though!"

"Thanks so much for all the training you do with us. Myself and Rolo love coming to you every week. I’ve seen a massive improvement in Rolos behaviour and skills. He is more focused and patient. You have taught us both so much. Thank you"

"Obedience Club with ATD is great fun, a good mix of classes, challenges and something to work towards combined with friends, fun and banter. Hollie is a great trainer and all the dogs love her."
