Shadow Lab

A wee trip to Dobbies with gorgeous wee shadow.

At 13 weeks old Socialisation is critical and he loved exploring , listening to new noises, seeing different things, climbing onto palettes and even some settle work in the cafe.

He saw a couple of dogs and happily just watched them go by.

Such a chilled out confident wee dude is Shadow 😀

Lifeskills Class

Didn’t get many good pictures but we had a great night.

We covered lead walking, emergency stops, play and worked on stay with distractions.

We also done some handler swapping, it’s always interesting to see how your dog responds with another handler.

Great night. Well done guys 😀

Chancey

Final session with this handsome lad and he has came on leaps and bounds.

He has lovely engagement with his owner and walks nice on a loose leads.

His recall is really good and loved playing catch and fetch.

He has been working hard on not jumping up on people and today he done amazing and was so calm.

All in all this boy has done great through the programme , still lots of training to be done but he has definitely mastered all the basics.

Well done Chancey and owner ❤️

Murphy GSD Murphy has been struggling with his thresholds at the back door. Every time the back door opens he rushes to get out no matter what. Today we worked on teaching him that he does not get out the back door untill he has been released. He picked it up very quickly and he was rewarded with play. We also worked on his place command in the back garden so he can just settle instead of frantically running around barking at every noise. A good session today , well done Murphy and owners.

Missy GSD Missy had her first trip on a train with Bleu. She was so good , waited patiently at the train station and although she was initially a little unsure about the gap getting in the train she jumped in no problem. She was a little unsure of the noises as the train was moving but she soon got used to it and settled beside Bleu. Once we got to our destination we had a short walk before going to the platform. She got a fright at a train that passed by very quickly and also didn’t like the noise that the wheels of the passing suitcase made but other than that she was fine. Looking forward to taking her on a longer train ride next time. Great job Missy 😀

Murphy GSD Our training session crate training Murphy. Hod owners have made a start and have been feeding all meals and chew bones in the crate to build a positive association. They have also been incorporating fun games around the crate. We worked on. Building the duration Murphy was in the crate and closing the door. We ended each session on a high playing tug with Murphy favourite indoor toy his duck. Good job Murphy 😀

Ferris GSD We done some environmental training with Ferris at the Surf Centre. He had Radar with him to help him and we just concentrated on his stays in a new and busy environment. There was lots of different noises for him , the noise of the waves he was a bit unsure of at first but he soon settled. There was lots of people some carrying surf boards, there was other dogs and lots of loud music. He done absolutely brilliant and he even got to walk with Diesal and Bleu too. Great session, this wee guy is coming on leaps and bounds 😀

Molly loving her stroll with Bleu ❤️

Mucky Radar

There’s always one mucky pup in the group walk and today it was Radar running around in the muddy puddle. Whilst Radar was in a muddy puddle Frodo decided to roll in fox poo lol 😂 The joys of dogs 😂🤣

Murphy GSD Murphy is not a very confident traveller in the car with his owners. He normally sits in the back seat with his owner as doesn’t like being in the back on his own. I was asked to help with this in the hope he can travel in my van. I started off the session doing some fun training around the cage to build a positive association for Murphy. We then travelled a short journey with Murphy in the cage. When I got to our destination I wanted Murphy to associate travelling with good things happening. He had a wee wander and a wee play with Bleu which he loved. He was a little hesitant to get in the van again at first but again I done some work around the van and got Murphy in an out a few times and he was absolutely fine. Once he got home he then showed off his door threshold skills before I left, Murphy owner has been working hard on this and previously would have bolted out the door. Great job Murphy 😀

Murphy GSD

Murphy owner would like to work on his recall and reactivity towards other dogs so we done some long line work with Murphy. I also done some play sessions in an area where there were a few dogs passing, Murphy is very interested in the other dogs however he did watch them but instead of shouting at them always disengaged from them and came back to his play session. Good job Murphy 😀

There’s always one dog on the walk that’s full of nonsense, that was Radar today and I wonder where he learned to run in muddy puddles lol mmhh that would be Diesal 😂🤣

Fynn is one of our solo walking dogs. He is an nervous lad and is reactive on his walks with his owners. He loves walking with Bleu bear and it helps build his confidence. Bleu is very neutral with other dogs and a great companion for Fynn 😀

Group Walk A small clip of todays wandering featuring Diesal, Radar, Bleu, Quincy, Oscar and Mia 😻

Murphy GSD Murphy owner has been struggling on walks with him pulling hard on the lead and also barking at other dogs. I took him out myself to see what he was like and he walked perfectly and although he likes to fixate on other dogs he did not react to any dogs. Murphy is just frustrated and needs clarity his owner also does not have lots of strength so we will continue working On teaching Murphy pressure and release on the lead and add some more clarity into the training so he listens to his owner. Training is never easy but you get there in the end 😀

About Me

I hold a qualification in Canine First Aid. I am insured with Pet Business Insurance and have a basic police disclosure.

I have a German Shepherd called Diesal who was a Therapy dog with Canine Concern Scotland until recently. We regularly visited hospitals and universities to reduce stress levels.

From the minute we got Diesal I fell in love with him and he became my best friend. If you own a Shepherd you will know they are a one man dog and Diesal is definitely my husband Wullie’s dog as he goes to work with him everyday so they have a special bond. I wanted to learn as much as I could so all my time and effort went into training him and learning as much as I could about the breed so I could help others who own German Shepherds.

I run a German Shepherd community page and regularly arrange group walks and various workshops. I set up German Shepherd only training classes at my local training club and assist the trainer at the classes every week. I am a volunteer for German Shepherd Rescue Scotland and regularly hold events to raise money for the rescue.
