Start your walks the way you want them to go, calm, focused, and in control.
Before stepping into the big field, I set the tone. A sit at the gate, reinforcing patience and listening. If Meg stands too soon, we pause, reset, and try again. Once calm, the gate opens fully, and with a simple ‘Let’s go!’, Meg and Pippa step forward, ready for adventure.
Small moments like this create better walks for all of us. How do you start yours? 🐾

✨ Training, Trust, and Teamwork in Action! ✨
Watch as my daughter and Pippa, showcase the power of patience, focus, and clear communication. With strong eye contact and steady control, Pippa waits attentively, holding her sit until she gets the all-important release cue. Then, pure joy as she races after the ball!
This simple yet effective training exercise builds impulse control, strengthens their bond, and proves that with the right guidance, children and dogs can learn, grow, and have fun together. Training isn’t just about commands, it’s about connection, trust, and making every interaction rewarding.

With the owner’s kind permission to share, here’s an amazing video of their dog demonstrating loose lead walking and regularly checking in with them. This is such a huge achievement because he used to pull constantly and was always eager to get to other dogs. Through attending our classes and consistent practice, he’s become much more controlled on walks, even when passing other dogs. The proof is in the pudding! He’s also walking beautifully on a harness, showing what patience and dedication can accomplish. Massive credit to this wonderful family for their hard work!
Mental stimulation isn’t just a bonus—it’s essential for your dog’s well-being! 🐾
While regular walks are important, did you know that 10 minutes of mental exercise can tire your dog as much as a 30-minute walk? Activities like puzzle feeders, nose work, or teaching new tricks keep your dog’s brain sharp, reduce stress, and prevent problem behaviours like chewing or barking.
Need ideas to get started? Try hiding treats around your home for a fun scent game or invest in interactive toys that challenge your pup.
🐕 A balanced dog is a happy dog—physically and mentally!

Proof that dogs are the best personal trainers: even when I don’t want to walk, they drag me out, and suddenly, I’m having the time of my life. Thanks, girls, for keeping me active and humble (and for stopping to sniff EVERY blade of grass). 🐕🦺🐾 #DogsRule #WalkiesWin #GrassInspectors

This morning, Dougie is making great progress at our life skills class! 🐾💪 He’s learning to walk beautifully on a loose lead, even with other dogs around. Our playful pup is starting to understand how to stay calm and focus on his mum and dad, rather than the exciting distractions. Well done, Dougie—keep up the great work! 🌟
