Ruby’s busy morning yesterday… 1 hour walk with Milo, followed by a rest and puppuccino at Costa, then she joined Benji and Teddy on a walk over Gosbecks, before dropping her home, so she could have a nice sleep 💤

Thinking back to when we rehomed her, she’s definitely come a long way 💕

Our Ruby joined Milo on his walk today 🐾 Milo’s around 11 months now, the fun adolescent period, so it’s good for him to learn to just mooch with other dogs, and learn Dogs don’t always mean play and excitement 🐾

🐾 I had planned a group walk for Murphy today… but his friends had only just returned from a walk with their owner 😢😂 so he had a solo instead. It was perfect dog walking weather, so we stayed out longer and made the most of it ☀️

When you have solid cued behaviours… they can also be used as a “recall”. Here’s some of the ways I recalled Hondo on a recent walk 🐾

🚆 Best train journey into London ever today! Walking up the carriages trying to find some seats, when a lovely couple moved some bits off the chairs opposite and let us sit down… immediately noticed the soft crate and inside there 8 week old new dachshund puppy they had just collected 🐶 I wish I’d asked to take a photo 😍 We chatted the whole journey and obviously they saw photos of our 3. Such a lovely couple and I wish them and Mr Montague a long happy life together.

Now it’s time for Day 3 in London for more country music 🤠

Using cues behaviours as Recall
Using cues behaviours as Recall

When you have solid cued behaviours… they can also be used as a “recall”. Here’s some of the ways I recalled Hondo on a recent walk 🐾

Off lead heel training with Rosie
Off lead heel training with Rosie

On our training walk this week, Rosie and I were playing around with her off lead heel work. When I say ‘heel’ I’m not talking competition or obedience heel, I’m just asking for walking nicely beside me. You could train this with any word, it doesn’t have to be heel… Hondo for instance has ‘Side’ to heel to my left and ‘close’ to heel to my right. The word doesn’t actually matter, it’s just what it means to your Dog. Rosie is showing that she understands what the word means, she can hold it for a duration and can release on cue ⭐️

Last week Ruby joined my walk with 10 month old Milo. They looked so cute together… and Milo is doing so well learning that being around other dogs doesn’t always mean playtime 🐾

🐑 Doesn’t matter how good your dog is and how great their recall, if there are sheep or livestock around, please put your Dog on lead! 👍

Aspen and Rosie

Today Aspen and Rosie met for the first time 😊 Both of these dogs owners originally got in contact with me for help with loose lead walking. It’s never actually just loose lead walking training though, it’s figuring out why they are pulling and working on that. Rosie pulls because she was/is anxious and Aspen pulled due to a mix of adolescence and the struggles that come with it and not having value in engaging with the person at the end of the lead. Today I introduced the two together for the first time, went for a lovely walk, both in harnesses, and using just my voice to stop and change direction etc. Super stars! 🐾

How do I get my group photos?? 📸 This is filmed taking the exact photo I posted yesterday. I don’t man handle the dogs into positions, I keep it nice and relaxed so it’s a positive experience… and as you can see, they are all a bunch of posers 😍

This keeps making me laugh… watch til the end and look at Rosie hinting or more like telling me, this deserves a treat 😛

Boo and Ruby at Ruffian Wood

Booked a secure field for Boo and Ruby yesterday. They love it here. I call them our silent walks, I just leave them to it, to sniff and run to their hearts content 🐕

Fun with Boo 👻
