Happy Hounds Adventures

Supportive scentwork, parkour & brain games. Having fun to create calm, confidence & a perfect bond. It can be done anywhere, and at any age.
(15)

The activities we offer help to build confidence and focus in your dog, working their brains and their bodies. Mental stimulation is so important for a dog's welfare and can make so much difference to their lives. It can help with various behaviour problems and helps strengthen the bond between you and your dog leading to a much better relationship. The great thing about scentwork is, it allows yo

ur dog to be themselves and let their personality shine. We work in partnership with our dogs, supporting them when necessary and creating a super sniffing detector team! Mantrailing can be particularly helpful for dog's who are fearful of Humans, and also those who are dog reactive as they work individually without other dogs around them. This is where we are teaching the dogs to search for a 'missing' person. Parkour is not only fun, but again can help with behaviour issues as some of the exercises are proven to change neural pathways in the brain. The dogs learn to navigate on to Exercises, over, under, around various different obstacles which are done slowly, giving the dog a chance to focus, and think. The exercises help build strength, body awareness and confidence. All of the activities we offer are a fun way to build a better relationship, and have a well balanced (excuse the pun) dog. We offer Scentwork, Parkour, Mantrailing (Lost & Found), 'Sherlock Bones' events, online trivia for you and your dog and a whole lot of fun

What a lovely evening for Lost & Found. Challenging the experienced and introducing the new.

The dogs were amazing, as always.

I fear this may have been our last evening L&F without a head torch 😔

Happy International Dog Day.

My duos, past and present 💜

Today has been all about scentwork.

Little Jammin came for his first ever go at scentwork this morning and was a natural. He settles really well when waiting his turn and enjoys watching the other dogs. He's less than 4 months old.

I often get asked if I do puppy specific sessions and it's very rare that I do.

The sessions I teach are a great way for puppies to learn to focus and be calm around other dogs, without the need to go up to every single one of them.
This is what I class as good manners 😊

11/08/2024

It's Daisy's day today 💜

10/08/2024

Birthday Boy in the house! 🙌🥳

06/08/2024

It's been a busy day in the Parkour paddock today.

Monty was pleased to make a return, and we welcomed 12 week old Jammin to class who did great.

Well done everyone, you've achieved a lot today and miraculously we all stayed dry!

Last night we had a lovely late evening Lost & Found session.
We kept the trails short and did some sniffing Shenanigans so the dogs didn't get too carried away.

Great evening everyone 🐾

24/07/2024

These pups are coming along fabulously.

What a pleasure to have dog savvy Thomas in class today too.

It's so lovely when children respect puppies/dogs and get involved in their development and training 🖤

23/07/2024

It feels like it's rained every Tuesday for eternity.

What a lovely, relaxed day of Parkour it's been.

Welcome Dot the beagle & River the lab who came for the first time and were fabulous.

🐾 PUPPY PARKOUR 🐾

I am holding two Parkour sessions here at Redmere specifically for Puppies.

Tuesdays 9th and 16th July, 9:40 - 10:30am.
£35 for both sessions or £20 for an individual session.

Parkour uses the thinking part of your pup's brain, helping them to focus.
When dog's feet are on things that are different levels it can change the neural pathways in their brain which in turns helps them remain calm under stress, and build resilience.
It makes them think, and not rush their way through things.
This all results in a happy, tired puppy.

Dogs who grow up in an enriched environment and are interactive with their humans learn to deal with stress better, become more resilient to set backs and are better at problem solving.
Prevention is better than cure 🙂

Most importantly, it's FUN!!

When we are relaxed and happy, so are our dogs, and we all learn better when having fun 🥰

If you'd like to come to the sessions please drop me a message.

I had THE most amazing time with Louise from Happiest Hounds Dog Training delivering our latest themed scentwork event - Who Shot Daisy Dook?!

Thank you to all of the teams of wonderful dogs and humans, and to The Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey for our most favourite venue.

We're already planning the next one!

Fantastic day of scentwork with Jersey Dog Handlers Association at a wonderful venue, thank you.

Today we completed Talking Dogs Scentwork Scent 3 and 4.
Everyone worked sooooo hard.

I've had a fabulous weekend with you all. Thank you 🐾

08/06/2024

I had a great time teaching Scentwork for Jersey Dog Handlers Association today. Such a fantastic group of dogs and handlers.
Thank you for inviting me.

I have a serious lack of photos, however, Sam took plenty, so they will follow.

🐾 Parkour - creating a calm, confident canine. 🐾

🤷‍♀️ What exactly IS parkour?

↪️ Parkour is where we use different obstacles that your dog has to navigate their way on to, around, over and under.

🧠 Mentally it tires your dog as they have to do the exercises slowly. This usees the thinking part of their brain to concentrate which helps to improve focus.

😊 It increases confidence. Dogs who grow up in an enriched environment and are interactive with their humans learn to deal with stress better, become more resilient to set backs and are better at problem solving.

💪 Physically it helps to improve muscle tone and core strength, and create much better body awareness. It's low impact which means dogs of all ages and abilities can take part.

💜 Your dog learns to trust you as you encourage them to try new things, keep them safe, and celebrate their wins. A perfect way to build a great relationship.

📅I hold classes on a Tuesday and Thursday daytime, and a Tuesday evening.

Contact me if you'd like to book a class, or if you'd prefer a private session I offer those too.

🎪All of the fun of the Happy Hounds Summer Fair 2024' 🎪

A great time had by all 🦆🥥🐾

Did you know I'm a Yoga teacher as well as a dog trainer?

I actually love combining the two, everything is so much more fun with your dog.

Scentwork for dogs and breathwork/meditation for humans have very similar benefits - reduces the stress hormone cortisol, produces endorphins, lowers heart rate and blood pressure therefore helping to reduce stress and anxiety.

Parkour for dogs and Yoga for Humans helps increase core strength, joint mobility, posture, body awareness.

Why not combine the two? I offer a class that does exactly that!

It was a VERY soggy Sherlock Bones at Lodge Farm Dog Park Thorney today so thank you to everyone that came along and embraced it!

Roz was official photographer of the dogs, meanwhile, here are two of my favourite things.......the Humans Solving the Scandal of the Stolen Sausages, and the Snack Shack!

Great work everyone, looking forward to returning 🐾🧐

15/05/2024

One minute I'm suggesting 8am starts as it's so hot, the next we're back in waterproofs 🌧

Great Parkour/Rally combo last night everyone 💙

08/05/2024

'In' in parkour is always so adorable!
Bailey quite fancied spending the night in his 😆

I then got everyone to think outside of the box (see what I did there? 😉) and we played a game of 'I packed bag and in it I put', without using any equipment, and things to do when you're sat on the sofa feeling ill 🤣

05/05/2024

Nothing beats coming back to these two after a few days away 💗

We were straight back to class with Trickdogs Training which we absolutely love 😍

Milky Bones are rationed now the boss is home though you two!

Betsy's been coming to me since she was 12 weeks old.
She had the most amazing Parkour session yesterday. It's wonderful to see how her confidence, focus and body awareness has improved over the past few months.
Well done team Betsy 🌟

The narrow beam. A requirement in the Parkour Pro Title. In my Parkour classes you have the opportunity to work towards titles - Novice, Intermediate and Pro, receiving a dog tag on completion of each title.

😍 "So uplifting and so much fun. We loved it"!!! 😍 Some wonderful feedback from a client who completed Fen's Fitness Fusion online class this week. Why train with me? 🤸‍♀️I am a qualified Fitness Instructor, Exercise to Music instructor and Yoga teacher for Humans. I have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. 🐾 For the dogs I am a qualified Parkour Instructor and Canine Conditioning Coach (among other things 😉). 😁 I specialise in injecting fun and laughter in to all of my classes so I guarantee you will have fun. 🚶The classes are a circuit style, with different difficulty levels offered, meaning you are able to work at your own pace. 🥰 Doing things with your dog is SO much more fun than doing them on your own. 🙌 Release those happy hormones and shed some pounds with Happy Hounds 😉 💻 Online classes can be in a group or 121. Maybe you'd like an in person session? Maybe you'd like to host a session at your own venue? ❓️Let me know if you're interested.

Fen loves learning new tricks. This started with 'Tidy your toys', then we started to 'hang out the washing' and today we put it together. Props to Trickdogs Training and Trickstars University who are our inspiration, motivation and great teachers 🥰

Good handling vs bad handling. If you've ever done scentwork with me you will have hopefully understood the importance of being a good handler, working with your dog and being thorough when searching together. We did a quick bit of scentwork this evening and I've tried to show you the difference in being a good handler vs a bad handler and how not being thorough can result in missed finds.

Great work from the Tuesday night crew. They are really getting the hang of this now 👏

A little bit of one to one fun with these two today 😍

The gap jump comes in very useful when we need to cross this ditch 😁

I set up a little rally course in the garden today. Daisy and Fen have never done any rally and never really done any type of obedience work that we try to perfect, so I was really pleased with them. Video is double speed, we don't talk and walk that fast 😁
