The Puppy Skills class effect: one very tired puppy, already dozing off just after being popped in the car at the end of class 😍😴

Why lie on the bed as it was designed for, when you can burrow under it and hang off either side? 🙄🙇‍♀️

🌟 121 training is great 🌟 it gives you the chance to practice in real environments, focus on your individual priorities, and get undivided attention and feedback.

121 training in the sunshine is even better ☀️😎

Wonderful time sniffing at Meadow Farm Canine Hydrotherapy & Rehabilitation in Saturday's scentwork class! Fantastic work from the dogs 🤩, supported by some great handling skills from their humans! Excellent work everyone 👏👏👏

Super mat settle 👏 This handsome boy is 6 months old and full of beans ⚡, but here he is chilling at the start of our 121 session while we chat 🤩 Great work from him and his wonderful humans 🙌

Being calm when there are distractions around can be tricky for lots of dogs, and a mat settle can be a great way of teaching a dog of any age that they can cope with this and relax 😎

Nif still often needs something to keep him busy to help him settle (and not pester his big bother, who is quite happy to snooze the day away). Although he's small, he's a power chewer 💪, so most chews don't last long...

His West Paw Qwizl helps, as you can pop the chew through the toy ➡️ puppy stays busy for longer 🙌 He's also a fan of frozen filled Kongs 😋
