Agility with Kobi. We’ve got a long way to go yet, but he absolutely loves it!!
Kobi birthday cake
Someone enjoyed his homemade doggy birthday cake 😂
I think this video sums up how pleased the dogs are to see me, and the fun we have whilst we’re out! Always extremely grateful to be trusted with your four legged family members ❤️🐾
Flyball
This weekends flyball fun 🐾🎾
Did you know we also do hoopers? Hoopers is a fun, low impact sport that is suitable for nearly all dogs! It’s great fun for dogs and humans, and is a fantastic way of creating a stronger relationship with your dog.
Please get in touch for more info!
Swimming!
A collie fish and a kelpie fish 😂
Genetics!
Is there anything better than watching dogs do what they were bred to do? When genetics take over, and they show traits that come naturally to their breed.
It’s often not possible for our pet dogs to do the work their breeds were originally created for, but there are other ways of meeting their needs!
Many people take their dog to the park and throw a ball for them. Maybe instead of throwing the ball, try another activity that will provide your dog with the mental stimulation that is required for their breed.
Below is a video of 3 different ways a ball can be used to fulfil the breed traits of three different dogs. For a Labrador, finding and retrieving a hidden ball simulates finding and retrieving game when hunting. For a collie, herding the ball simulates herding sheep. And Malinois love to bite, so biting and tugging a ball is much more reinforcing for them than a game of fetch!
Next time you’re out with your dog, try playing a game with them that allows them to fulfil their natural instincts!
Scout having a go at some agility today. Not his favourite thing, and his husky half doesn’t do particularly well in the heat, but he gave it a go!

When you can stand in the stream, get wet and play fetch with yourself all at once, why would you want to get out?!
Got to love Collie logic 🙈
A treat for my boys after work this afternoon - they had the best time!
Sasha isn’t a pup who likes to get her paws wet!
Weaving
Scout working on those weaves!

It’s been one of those days today, starting with Scout waking me up by dropping a coffee mug on my head 😅🤣
Wriggly didn’t want to get his face wet, so I had to climb in the stream and rescue his ball! And it just continued from there… crazy dogs 🤣 But I love them!!
