New blog post!

Written by Alex, so expect the odd questionable word.

https://www.k9insight.co.uk/post/when-it-all-goes-to-crap

This is the second time writing this blog post, the first version is still in my draft folder gathering dust. The cliff notes of the first version are me being completely unprepared while out with my own dogs, a dog fight, me rolling in horse poo, and meeting the new neighbour while still rolling in...

New 'mid-week' Intro to UK Dogsport course.

Due to our recently advertised course selling out in under 12 hours, we have decided to run a second course. The second course will be held on Wednesday evenings, starting on the 6th April.

For further information or to book contact K9 Insight.

Medium sized breed with small-dog syndrome so can be a handful with other males as he's unneutered. Has a large bald spot but caffeine shampoo from vet may help. Loveable leg-humper but can be distracted with a rugby ball. Needs his own room as snores and flatulence is an issue so may need to watch his diet. Walks ok, better off lead but recall is horrendous if he sees a pub. Loves being dressed up and has own evening gown selection. ONLY Rehoming as Jason Momoa has become available.

Puppy Class starting 5th Feb - Inverurie

You don't want to miss this!

Exclusive heads up.

We will be advertising to the mass public tomorrow but wanted to give those following the page a head start.

On the 28th Jan I have secured Anthony Briggs to come and deliver 2 Introduction sessions in Mantrailing. - will take place in the Inverurie area.

In a nutshell Mantrailing uses your dogs sense of smell to help locate a person, normally using an item with the persons scent on it. The beauty of this activity is that it is incredibly inclusive. There are no min or max ages, any breed can do it and its PERFECT for reactive dogs.

Tony is not only an experienced operational search dog handler, who has worked in a number of different countries and environments, but also a fantastic Certified Instructor and Trainer. He's that good on the rare occasion I have time off that's who I choose to spend it with working my own dog (sorry Nikki).

Two sessions will be available, 9:00 and 12:30, and numbers are strictly limited.

To reserve your place or for more information get in touch.

We have had lots of owners contact us with 'slightly older' (7+ Months) dogs, who missed out on puppy classes.

If this is you, then this course is ideal.

Learn to communicate effectively with your dog and get the skills necessary to help your dog ignore distractions.

New Blog Post

I have finally convinced 'Mrs Alex' to write a blog post. She's a great writer and much more interesting than I am 🙂

I asked her to talk about what its like living with a dog who is hard work. I didn't want a post all about thresholds and reward cascades. What I think people need to hear is that their problems are really difficult and at times you are going to wonder what you are doing.

What I hoped was that this post would help to reassure people that you are not alone, and even as a professional, it doesn't make the mountain any easier to climb (especially not for those who I have dragged along for the ride).

**CAVEAT** As you read my unfiltered thoughts, you might wonder if we actually like Buck the dog or if you should maybe come and rescue him. So before I start whining my head off about day-to-day life with him …it's important you know that we love him deeply and invest huge amounts of time and eff...
