Could Misty get any cuter? 🥹🤍 The answer is no!

Misty the Shiba Inu pup started up her puppy package last week for lots of learning! 🙌🏻

For our first session we focused on mental stimulation and the importance of it, ways to build independence, tips for mouthing and so much more!

Having a professional join you for a session at home during those first few weeks or even days provides you with the skills and knowledge to set your pups up for success 🫶🏻

Get in touch for any 1-1 training needs 🐶🐾

Baby Spud 🥔🥹

This floofy boy joined me last week to start his puppy package!

We had a lovely first session going over all the ways to set our pups up for success & build confidence 🫶🏻

He was already doing a super job at home but you can never get too much professional support!

I look forward to seeing you again soon Spud 😍

VIV 🧡

This gorgeous girl joined me last week to start a 1-1 training package to continue working on her recall & focus outside 🙌🏻

Viv is so smart but also so driven by the outside world that it means she can struggle to respond when there are fun things around such as birds 🐦🙊

We had a great first session going over ways to increase Viv's focus by limiting her ability to fail and ultimately set her up for success!

See you again soon pretty girlie 🫶🏻

Peanut & Bean have the right idea 😴💤

This week these brothers began their puppy package! Having two puppies is certainly busier than one, and so that was the focus of our session 🙌🏻

We spoke about concentrating on them individually, which would allow the other to decompress, nap or generally learn to enjoy some alone time. This gives the other pup chance to train, explore or even have a little walk.

We chatted about their play style and ways to calm it down or prevent the rough play occurring too frequently (especially when one is trying to sleep 🙊).

As you can see they both love each other very much and they were very tired boys by the end of their hour 🥰

Looking forward to seeing you clever boys again soon 🫶🏻

Baby on the way? 🤰🏻🤍

You can't over prepare, but you definitely can under prepare. 🙌🏻

Having worked in rescue for several years prior to starting my business, I saw first hand many dogs being rehomed due to the arrival of a baby.

New parents are often very surprised when their dog begins to behave differently when the baby arrives, but to go from no baby to a baby is an extreme change... And for us too 🥹

Remember, it doesn't matter what history your dog has around children. It's totally a different story living with a newborn baby!

If you would like some help supporting your dog through this exciting new chapter, get in touch for more details 🩷💙

Baby Tessa started her puppy package last week 💝

We had a great first session providing Tessa's parents with tips & tricks on how to manage and reduce tricky puppy behaviours and also engage with her brain!

Though a lot of typical puppy behaviours (mouthing and jumping etc) are all very normal and nothing to worry about, how we respond to it really supports their learning - for better or worse! So it's super important to start as you mean to go on 🙌🏻

Tessa was such a clever girl and I can't wait to see her for our next session 🤩

Teeny little Poppy 🤎

This little lady had a 1-1 training session at her home last week and she did so well!

We chatted about toilet training and how to increase success, engagement training and even the start of recall foundations to work on at home 🙌🏻

She was so fun to train and loved the excitement of it! Well done little Poppy, what a great first session at just 15 weeks old 🤩

Bruce started his puppy package last week 🥹🤍

For our first session we concentrated on how we can help Bruce make better choices such as being calm around people & guests! Such a hard thing to do when you're a puppy 🙊

We also worked on teaching some impulse control with a "leave it" exercise - not only a great brain game but a super important skill for all dogs 🙌🏻

Bruce has 3 more sessions from his puppy package which we will be using to work on his lead skills, recall and other areas that need some support 💚

Before your baby, did your OG bestie have 4 legs? 💚🐾

Say hello to lovely Roxy! This gorgeous girl is a rescue who landed on her feet living her best life many years ago!

Her family welcomed a new addition 18 months ago and, even though Roxy has been a dream in welcoming her new sister, her family wanted to make sure they are doing everything they can to keep her happy 🥰

A little toddler on the move isn't always super appreciated by dogs, even more so when they're older pooches! So we made a bit of a plan for some changes on how we could make Roxy's day fulfilled and stress-free 🥰

Roxy has been such a good girl, but getting a professional perspective makes such a positive difference to your dog & child's relationship 🫶🏻

Get in touch for any support on working around your dog & baby 🤍

Handsome Cooper 🖤

Recently I met 9 month old Cooper for a 1-1 training session. He's a very energetic bouncy boy who needed some support on making calmer choices 🧘🏻‍♀️

It's always tricky having an excitable young dog and inviting your guests round! We spent time talking about ways to help Cooper break his habits of greeting guests and choosing to be elsewhere 🤞🏻

Cooper also practiced a few exercises to slow him down and challenge his brain, and also learned an improved way to play fetch without becoming over stimulated 🙌🏻

Working mum's/ dad's, how are we all doing with sickness number 9000? 🥲

I am so sorry for my lack of social media presence, and having to cancel and reschedule walks and training recently. I hate letting you guys down, but when you have a poorly toddler at home there is no other choice. Tonsillitis twice in two weeks is certainly a new record 🥲

If I need to change any more appointments this week I will be in touch. 💚

Daphne started her puppy package last week 🥹🤎

We had a wonderful first session teaching this little lady a few new skills, building up some impulse control and even began firework desensitisation 🎆

I was so impressed with her ability to learn & her motivation 🙌🏻 Such a fun little pup, I can't wait to see her for our next session ✨

Training is so important at an early age, and with 1-1 training it means you can start right away 🙌🏻 Get in touch for any puppy training needs 🐶🐾
