🥳𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙉 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙀𝙓𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙉𝙀𝙒𝙎 🥳

So I finally have a field that I will be renting in Old town Hebden bridge! Below is a picture of Albie in said field. This has been in the pipeline for a while now, and I’m excited to announce that it is finally happening.

So what does this mean for my customers?

✅More 1:1 availability as I won’t be travelling as much. With immediate effect, so get in touch if you would like a 1:1.
✅I have more availability for training walks. ( again with immediate effect).
✅Watch this space for progression pet gundog classes ( initially these classes will be mid week, but I will have more availability in spring and summer when I put on evening classes).
✅Various work shops in the new year. Including the popular pet gundog connection workshop.
✅Puppy classes… finally! ( breed specific/ gun dogs and gun dog crosses)

I’m currently saving up for a shed to store equipment on site, and so I can have a portaloo available for when we run longer work shops. We will also be purchasing some organic lawnmowers in the spring 🐑🐑🐑.

For those of you who have done the gundog foundation class and can make a day time class mid week, get in touch please 😊🐾.

Me: ‘why are you asking?’
Newt: ‘no reason 😇’ 🙊😂

What do you guys think, theft or fair game? 😂 Maybe we should ask Pets at home for their take on matters 😂

𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙋 🐩🐾🐩

Yesterday morning was spent with this lovely girly. As I have mentioned previously, Doris is having training walks to work on a few things, namely confidence building, helping her to feel safe when she sees humans and dogs so she doesn’t feel the need to lunge and bark in these situations. On our walk yesterday we continued to work on her heel work. Doris was also given plenty of opportunity to sniff, and mooch in the woods once we had navigated the slippy hilly paths…I was particularly pleased that her heel work has come on so much, or I’d have been on my arse! 🙊😂.

Doris really enjoys heel work, and giving her a job to do in situations where she is unsure seems to be really helping her out, a benefit of obedience training which I feel can often be overlooked. We successfully walked past numerous people, and a couple of dogs with no issues yesterday on our walk. In fact she was able to acknowledge their presence, and continue with the job in hand.

Well done Doris you little superstar 🌟🌟🌟

We have been working at progressing and proofing the ‘leave it’ cue in our progressive classes in recent weeks. This has involved working through various stages and building up the difficulty of the exercise so the dogs develop the skills required and have a good understanding of what the cue means in a variety of situations.

Here is a video that I did for our customers to refer back to. This video demonstrates how we teach our dogs the leave cue when they are running away from us towards a static object, in this case a food bowl, as the video states, there are various other stages to work through before this, and there are also various other stages building in difficulty beyond this too.

Our online community will have clear concise videos helping you to train your pet gundog (or gundog cross) important life skills including leave it, along with breed specific training to keep your dog connected to you and mentally stimulated, making for a happy dog.

Contact myself or Kath if you are interested in joining.

Today we remember not only the brave soldiers, but also the animals of war who served, suffered, and died alongside them. From messenger dogs to search and rescue animals, their companionship, loyalty and courage will never be forgotten.

He may look affronted by the mockery but truth be told he was just bloody knackered after flushing phezzies all day 😂.

These drying coats are super cute and also great at their job and come highly recommended by me! Who doesn’t want practical attire that also doubles up as something that makes you smile. Badger was nice and toasty for the way home. ( I will try and figure out how to tag the company for those who’d love a dino dog too! 🙊😂)
