Working on building some duration on Ori’s chin target to help with health checks. He is generally very happy for me to do health checks but I wanted to work on this behaviour with him and build up the duration of the checks I do. Contact me if you would like to teach your dog this for grooming, vet visits or general checks at home. #cooperativecare #dogtraining #puppytraining #puppiesofinstagram #irishsettersofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #caninecooperativecare #doggroomimg
✨ Start training your puppy before they are fully vaccinated and can go out in the big world. It is so important to start these foundational skills as soon as possible, this will help your puppy build positive behaviours from the very start (so unwanted behaviours don’t occur further down the line during adolescence). This is Reggie’s first little training session to prepare for lead walking when he can go outside. Get in contact if you’re getting a puppy and want to set them up for the best start possible ✨#corgipuppy #corgi #corgicommunity #puppytraining #puppy #puppiesofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogtrainer #guernseydogs
Leg weavesI haven’t practiced this for ages, so decided to start working on it again, Ori enjoys it, so we have fun. #dogtrick #irishsetter #settersofinstagram #irishsettersofinstagram #adolescentdog #dogtraining

I like working on some canine conditioning with Ori. It helps build coordination, proprioception, balance and strength, reducing the risk of injuries in the future.It is also mentally stimulating as I often target train these exercises as well. (Always consult your vet or a vet physio before starting a new exercise regime with your dog)#canineconditioning #caninephysio #dogtraining #guernseydogs #puppytraining #dogtrainer #dogs #irishsetter #irishsettersofinstagram #caninefitness

Winston learning to follow his owners movement on the lead. We want to make sure there isn’t any tension on the lead, we want to reinforce when he moves with his owner, and we want to keep moving slowly the whole time so it becomes a nice fluid behaviour. #sausagedog #daschundpuppy #daschundsofinstagram #sausagedogsofinstagram #puppy #puppytraining #dogtraining #guernseydogs
Settle training with Milo. This was his first session, a couple of minutes in. He picked it up straight away. I Love watching tiny pups problem solve during training ☺️ @isla_h_p #puppytraining #puppies #puppy #dogtrainer #positivereinforcementdogtraining #minaturegoldendoodle #goldendoodle #doodlesofinstagram
‘Take & Train for you’ session with Peggy. We are working on Peggy being calmer when walking. She gets overstimulated in the lanes, lunges and barks at cars and doesn’t respond to her owners when out. I’m working with her to increase engagement, help her be more relaxed when walking, reduce the stress around vehicles and sniffing her surroundings more. #frenchbulldog #frenchie #frenchbulldogsofinstagram #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #dogtrainer
Settle training and problem solving. Daisy was awesome at this exercise. I love watching puppies think about problems and work things out. Daisy even managed to keep focused when her little human came in to watch and added some distractions. #rottiepuppy #rottweilers_of_instagram #rottweilerpuppy #puppytraining #dogtraining #puppy #puppiesofinstagram
Sharing this reel on behalf of my lovely clients with Laika. They wanted to show Laika joining one of our puppy Meet & Mooch sessions.

We’ve just started practicing these for a bit of fun, and Ori really enjoys it. • Spin on my right side • Circle around me Trick training is great for your dog, it adds extra mental stimulation, increases problem solving skills, and strengthens your relationship.

Focus work and loose lead training with little Kai. We are working with Kai being more focused and engaged with his owner. He’s a bit worried about other dogs at the moment, so these are some very important foundations to practice before we start training around other dogs. His lead walking is amazing so far and he is becoming a lot more focused on his owner since I met them ☺️ If you would like any extra help with your dogs focus and engagement then get in contact for more information. #germanshepherdpuppy #gsd #gsdofinstagram #puppiesofintagram #germanshepherdsofinstagram #puppytraining #dogtraining #guernseydogs
Grass seeds are EVERYWHERE at the moment, so this is what I do after every walk 🌾🌿 This is when having good husbandry training really helps your dog have these checks done, as low stress as possible. #irishsetter #setters #irishsettersofinstagram #gundog #gundogsofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainer #guernseydogs #summer
Week 4 of our outdoor puppy adventure class 🌿🐾 This was a fun week, we had a variety of exercises including, tunnels, balance exercises, proprioception challenges, small jumps, weave poles along with practicing training foundations. Proprioception is a dog’s sense of body position and movement. Developing proprioception and agility in puppies helps them understand where their limbs are. It lays a strong foundation for a healthy and active life, reducing injury risk, ensuring they are well-coordinated and confident in their movements. If you’re interested in joining our next puppy class contact me for more information. #puppyclass #puppyproprioception #puppyconditioning #dogagility #puppyagility #puppytraining #dogtraining #guernseydogs
Reactivity training with Teddy. We are working on a number of areas throughout the session. - Lots of calm behaviours when he sees other dogs - Focus and engagement with his owner - Being able to disengage from other dogs - Calm natural movement when walking on the lead Thank you @dogsmartprofessionalpetcare for the stooge dogs.

The ‘Find It’ game is a valuable tool in dog training for several reasons:• Mental Stimulation - It engages the dog’s mind, encouraging them to use their natural sniffing abilities to locate hidden treats or toys. This mental exercise can tire them out just as effectively as physical exercise.• Focus and Concentration - The game helps improve a dog’s ability to focus and concentrate on a task, which can be beneficial for overall obedience and training.• Confidence Building - Successfully finding hidden items can boost a dog’s confidence, especially for shy or anxious dogs. It provides a sense of achievement and reinforces positive behavior.• Energy outlet - It provides an excellent way for high-energy dogs to expend their energy in a controlled and productive manner, reducing unwanted behaviors stemming from boredom or excess energy.• Calmness and Relaxation - Scent work can have a calming effect on dogs, helping them to relax and reducing stress or anxiety. The game can be used indoors or outdoors and can be adjusted in difficulty to match the dog’s skill level, making it suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds.Overall, the ‘Find It’ game is a versatile, enriching activity that supports various aspects of a dog’s mental and physical well-being while enhancing the training process.#dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofinstagram #guernseydogs #islandlife #irishsetter #irishsettersofinstagram #settersofinstagram #dogs #dogsdaily #adolescentdogs
A little fun recall game for puppies and young dogs. It is also important to keep up some foundations through adolescence. Be fun, run around, drop treats where you stop, then run again in the opposite direction.

Cooperative care/low stress nail clipping. I keep working with Ori to make sure he feels as happy as possible about having his nails clipped. Sometimes he is absolutely amazing and basically falls asleep and enjoys the pamper, other times he is a little mouthy depending on his mood, so I make sure I slow it down and reinforce smaller positive behaviours to make sure he feels okay about it. Please share if you find this helpful, and get in touch if you need help with your dog’s grooming and husbandry care. #cooperativecare #doggrooming #doggroomingofinstagram #nailclipping #irishsettersofinstagram #irishsetter #puppy #adolescentdogs #dogtraining
