🎉🐾 Happy 1st Birthday to my handsome boy! 🐾🎉

My blue smoke Maine C**n is officially one today loveable (very much on his own terms!), full of sass, and an expert in two things:
1️⃣ Battling his flicker toys like a tiny panther (including destroying them)
2️⃣ Lying on Lego as if it’s a luxury bed… why do they DO that? 😂

He’s already over 6kg and still growing honestly, how big is this boy planning to get?!

Here’s to another year of floof, antics, and being adored like the king he is. 💙🐱

Cookie absolutely smashing some heelwork practice out and about recently! 🐾✨

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing real-life training fall into place especially when it’s all taught through calm, kind, positive methods.

Cookie’s focus, loose lead, and lovely engagement didn’t happen overnight… but with consistency, rewards, and sessions tailored to his needs, he’s showing just how beautifully cooperative training can work in the real world.

Proud of this little superstar ⭐️

🎥 Watch him being oh such a good boy!

🐶 What Is the Innate Health Assessment (IHA)?

A new FREE tool designed to help owners, buyers, trainers and breeders quickly assess whether a dog’s physical features support good health and welfare.

Created with veterinary and welfare experts, the IHA uses a simple 10-point visual checklist to highlight features that, when exaggerated, are linked to lifelong problems things like:
• breathing difficulties
• eye issues
• skin fold infections
• mobility and joint pain
• spinal or limb discomfort

It’s easy to use, requires no specialist equipment, and can be done in just a few minutes.

🧡 Why It Matters

Some dogs' health problems are directly linked to the way dogs are bred to look.
The IHA helps people identify when a dog’s features may be extreme before those issues cause suffering.

Using it means healthier puppies, more informed choices, and a big step forward for responsible dog welfare.

👀 How You Can Use It

Whether you’re:
✨ choosing a puppy
✨ supporting clients as a trainer or behaviourist
✨ assessing breeding dogs
✨ wanting to spread good welfare information

… the IHA is a simple way to start conversations about health over appearance.

It’s not a replacement for vet checks but it’s a powerful tool to guide ethical decisions.

Healthy dogs should be able to breathe, blink, move, sleep and play comfortably.
The IHA helps us protect that. 🐾💛

It’s not a replacement for vet checks, but it’s a powerful tool to guide ethical decisions.have their own health section. This can be invaluable when looking into getting a new addition. Some even log health issues to see what dogs and lines carry certain health issues.

Some messages truly make your day… and this one absolutely did. 🥹💛

Hawk is not your “usual” character being a Canadian Eskimo Dog comes with his own quirks, needs, and brilliant individuality. And as always, while we have our structure and specific exercises, we train the dog in front of us. That’s where the magic really happens.

Hearing that he went to a 2-hour committee meeting, greeted everyone beautifully with a “side,” didn’t jump, calmly “settled” on his bed, asked to go out, and impressed every single person there… honestly, I couldn’t be prouder.

These wins are what it’s all about real life, real dogs, real progress.

Feeling very grateful today. 💛🐾

A bit of wind and rain doesn’t stop good training! 🌧️🐾

This was us the other Friday practising a lovely long retrieve and recall.

You’ll spot the long lead in use 👀
We’re still working on leaving distractions, and it’s coming along brilliantly. Proof that consistency pays off, no matter what the weather throws our way!

Gundog training really is about building reliability, confidence and connection one retrieve at a time. 🧡

🐾 Quick Puppy Question of the Day! 🐶💬

Let’s have a bit of fun 👀
What’s one behaviour your dog or puppy does that makes you laugh or sigh with love or admiration every single time?

Is it the dramatic flop?
The zoomies at the worst possible moment?
The “I definitely wasn’t chewing that…” face? The way they melt into you for a cuddle?
Or something completely unique to them? 😅

Drop it in the comments or tag us bonus points if you describe it so we can all picture it!👇

Let’s fill the feed with happy dog moments today 🐾❤️

Here’s one of our students enjoy a lovely cuddle whilst on a training break.

Throwback Thursday 🐾✨

Going right back to around 2008 with this gorgeous Bull Mastiff, a gentle giant who absolutely loved a bit of training.

This lovely boy belonged to a friend, and he was one of those dogs who reminded me why I fell in love with training in the first place: patience, connection, and the joy of working with a dog who wants to learn.

Big head, big heart, and even bigger enthusiasm.

A proper golden oldie memory ❤️🐶

🌙✨ Cold-Night Comfort Training Challenge! ✨🌙

It’s absolutely freezing out there tonight, so let’s bring the training indoors and make it fun!
This evening’s challenge is: The Snuggle-Settle 🐾🧣

Teaching a calm “settle” on a mat or blanket is one of the most underrated life skills. On chilly nights like tonight, it’s the perfect way to keep your dog warm (VIP if they are old or short coated), relaxed, and practising impulse control without stepping a foot outside.

Try this tonight:
1️⃣ Choose a cosy blanket or mat
2️⃣ Scatter a few tiny treats on it
3️⃣ When your dog steps on, calmly reward
4️⃣ When they lie down, drop another treat between their paws
5️⃣ Add a soft “settle” cue if you like

Share a photo of your dog doing their best winter settle in the comments! ❄️🐶
Let’s see who’s got the cosiest pose… bonus points for fluffy blankets!

Here’s a student from earlier in the year that loves to snuggle into his bed!

The temperature has really dropped today ❄️
A little reminder that our older dogs feel the cold sooner and stronger than we do.

If you share your home with a golden oldie, today’s the perfect day to:
• pop an extra blanket in their bed or give them a jumper to wear if they are happy to
• keep walks gentle and warming
• give their joints a little extra TLC
• avoid long periods outdoors on cold ground

Cold weather can make stiff joints, arthritis and general mobility much tougher small adjustments make a big difference to their comfort.

Give your senior superstar an extra cuddle this evening 🐾💛

Here’s our old girl enjoying her jumper. At 14 she deserves some extra special attention

🍂 October Gundog Training Round-Up 🍂

Our October gundog training session was another brilliant reminder of why we love what we do. Once again, the dogs absolutely shone each one progressing in their own unique way, building confidence, control, and connection with their handlers.

What makes these sessions so special is that there is always something to learn. Even our advanced students, who have been training with us for some time, continue to push their boundaries, refine their skills, and take on new challenges with enthusiasm. Watching teams grow together is genuinely one of the best parts of the job.

We’ve also had lots of enquiries for the next block there is ONE space remaining in the 11.15am November session, so grab it while you can!

Here’s to another month of fantastic progress, wagging tails, and watching these wonderful dogs thrive! 🍁🐾
