Finn. Now looking at getting his recall and all supporting training working in multiple areas.

He was a bit geared up about the 🦆.
Slowed things down, worked on his training drills

1. Focus patterns
2. Sit & stay (his super power)
3. Heeling (not so super power, but definitely improving)
4 whistle stop

He then had a touch of free time, but he stayed engaged. So we done two long kong searches.
Back to the centre to polish up his indication.

As Finns training progresses, he’s getting more confidence, the more he grows in confidence the more he wants to learn.

He’s an incredible student 💚

Dear new puppy parents, let’s have an honest chat for a moment.

Your puppy is unlikely to master toilet training or settle in completely within the first three months of joining your home. You may feel like you’re making progress, only to face setbacks. There will be bites, barking, tantrums, and the occasional missing shoe.

All of this is perfectly normal!

When I adopted Venice, now three years old, I experienced tears, frustration, and overwhelming doubts. There were moments filled with regret and insecurity, but also times of joy, celebration, and a sense of achievement that filled me with confidence.

It’s high time we trainers stopped presenting the idea that “if you just follow this formula, everything will be perfect” because that simply isn’t the case. No book, article, or TikTok video can truly understand your puppy's unique personality or see you as an individual.

However, if you stick to your plan, even when the approach feels unconventional, I assure you that you will come out stronger on the other side!

Sorley an exquisite Beardie.

He’s a lot of dog, big emotions and low tolerance levels.

It’s our second session and there is progress.

When he stops being a blur he’s a really sweet dog.
Working on strategies to aid his focus but also cognitive tasks to sift through the nonsense to unleash the extremely bright dog that I can see he is.
