Tug of war
Rules for the humans:
1) Don't pull upwards, keep their spine, head, and neck straight at all times
2) Tug back to increase the intensity
3) Bring the toy down and keep it still (hold it against your body to help keep it still) to encourage them to let go and praise them when they do!
4) Little and often is key to getting a fun, fair, and well-balanced game of tug
Rules for Dogs:
1) Go easy on your humans for the first few times until they learn the above Rules
2) Sometimes let them win so they don't get too jealous of your skills

Let sleeping dogs lie ๐ด Ash is a deep sleeper and not only deserves good quality sleep, but he also deserves to be woken (where necessary) with care, to maintain the trust between us and to avoid making him jump or snap in the midst of a dream. Not all dogs might do this, and Ash has never snapped, but all dogs can make mistakes, and the deeper the sleep..the harder the wake up. It's easy to be kind.

Are Cats Trainable?
Yes! Absolutely!
Just like with dogs, some cats like to train more than others, what they like to do may differ, how long they work for and for what reward may also differ.
But just like dogs, cats are trainable ๐๐๐พ๐ถ๐บ

Meet Luga, the Black Russian Terrier playing a lazy game in the sun after some training exercises ๐ ๐พ
Tennis balls of this size are no longer allowed for the potential choking risk, but we had a great time and this is a really special memory for me so I had to share! ๐ถ

Hot weather ideas - approved by Nelson ๐พ
๐ญNo need to walk your dog - provide mental stimulation at home/garden instead
(unless for toileting reasons only - then best very early and very late in the day).
โฑ๏ธShade and access to cold floors/ cooling mats
๐งFresh cold water, add ice cubes if needed.
๐ง๐ฅFridge and freezer snacks - cucumber, carrot, there's so many fun and nutritional ways to keep your dogs cool.
๐ฆWater paddling (pools, tubs, and washing up bowls are all great to provide pets in hot weather).

How to slow your dog down while on the lead, I'm working with Bella on her stops, left, and right turns. You can see how she starts to slow down and pay attention because she's not sure where I'll be going next. ๐พ

I wanted to share this short clip, starting with a sit/stay, then a pick up into a relaxed heel with a direction change.
Building transferable skills for the real world. Being predictable to your dog is so important as it builds trust and confidence. Great job, Milo!๐พ

A tiny snippet of a session with Ferret, an ex-racing Greyhound who was very nervous of certain other dogs, and is now smiling and wagging her tail, even when we're moving a little quicker.
I'm very proud of both Ferret and her owner for this awesome progression!

Recall training with puppies is so important, as important as carrying it on throughout their teens and into adulthood, and setting a great foundation will help.
Changing the variables (such as going out in mild rain and at different times of day) will help to normalise different stimuli in your puppies environment.

How do you prepare for a walk?
Practising exercises such as Downs and Recall for a few minutes can really help increase that calm focus from your dog, then you can take that calm focused energy out with you.

Reliable recall in all environments and scenarios is vital if you are letting your dog off the lead.
Don't be the owner that gets caught out by a lack of recall! Plan for it, train for it.
