Target training is one of my favourite exercises to teach! In this video, I show how I’ve started teaching Sméagol to go to a target and why it’s such a great skill to work on. Not only is it a fun way to bond with your dog, but it also helps burn mental energy—a bonus for those moments when a tired puppy needs a little extra focus after a training session!
Teaching your dog what to do, instead of focusing on what not to do, is a cornerstone of positive training, and target work is a perfect example.

Sméagol’s First Park Walk! 🐾
Sméagol took his first big steps into the park, and what a little explorer he was! 🌳🐶 At first, he preferred the grass to the pavement (classic puppy move!), but with some highly paid lead work 💰🦮, he built confidence and found his rhythm.
We gave him a chance to safely roam on a long line, which he absolutely loved! 🐕✨ Throughout the session, we focused on rewarding him for checking in 🐾👀 to strengthen his connection with us and lay the foundation for a solid recall.
This short 10-minute outing wasn’t about exercise—it was all about creating positive experiences, building skills, and letting him have fun. By the end, Sméagol was tired, happy, and ready for a well-deserved rest! 💤💖

Sméagol’s First Walk: A Big World for Little Paws!
Taking your puppy on their first walk isn’t about covering distance—it’s about helping them gently explore the world around them. 🐾 Today, Sméagol took his first big step outside! 🌳 Our 10-minute walk may have only covered 100 metres, but it was packed with positive experiences.
From seeing tractors 🚜 to hearing new sounds and smelling exciting scents, it’s all about gradually building their confidence. Keeping these early walks short and low-intensity helps your puppy adjust without becoming overwhelmed.
