Molly Moo What a wee star Molly was today. A wander with Bleu along a busy road and then her first visit to Starbucks and after her Puppachino she settled alongside Bleu and happily watched the world go by. Well done Molly Moo 🐮

Piper GSD Piper done great at an exciting new environment today. She was happy watching and listening to the waves beside the wave pool. She also done some confident building walking on different surfaces and climbing onto different objects. She also done some luring and practicing her positions and some spins. She also practiced some recall as we want to start her young. She was very tired at the end of our session and was delighted to see Bleu and Radar again. Piper is now 14 weeks and is doing absolutely great in her puppy training. Well done guys 😀

Chin Rest Training 😂 Dad makes a great chin rest for Radar ❤️

Rhaegar GSD Today Rhaegar enjoyed a relaxed walk in the country park with gorgeous Skye. Rhaegar previously would have kicked off and went bat sh*t crazy at the sight of a new dog approaching him. But today he calmly met Skye as she approached and we had a lovely walk through the park and he just walked alongside her quite happily. At the start of the walk he saw about 8 dogs and wasn’t phased in the slightest. Towards the end of our walk he did have a bark at a couple of dogs but again nothing like he would have at the start of our programme. Rhaegars reactivity is frustration based and there is no badness , he is now getting more exposure to other dogs and learning how to be more neutral towards them. Great progress well done guys 😀

🐶 What I feed my dogs...

Lots of people ask me what I feed my own dogs so I thought I would share; When it comes to food I am very particular about what they eat, as what you put in is what you get out. (I can always tell if a dog is on a poor diet by looking at its poo). We all know if we eat and drink junk food we feel generally rubbish and it’s the same with dogs. If your dog is on a poor diet, it won’t feel the best, it can also have an impact on their behaviour and general health. I am a raw feeder because I believe it’s the healthiest and most natural diet. I also add the following in; Vegetables - I feed a wide variety of veg. Feeding vegetables to your dog can have many benefits, including: Weight management: Vegetables are high in fiber and low in calories, which can help your dog feel full and satisfied without gaining weight. Digestion: Fiber is an important part of a dog's diet, and raw vegetables are a great source of it. Vitamins and minerals: Vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Immune system: Vitamin A can help support your dog's immune system. Cancer-fighting: Vegetables contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that can help fight cancer. Heart disease protection: Vegetables can help protect against heart disease. Microbiome: Vegetables can help build and protect your dog's microbiome. Tinned Mackerel, Sardines or Tuna - Fish can provide many benefits for dogs, including; Protein: Fish is a good source of protein, which helps build strong muscles and carry nutrients throughout the body. Omega-3 fatty acids: Fish is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can help with: Skin and coat: Omega-3s can help promote a healthy coat and skin. Inflammation: Omega-3s can help reduce inflammation, which can be beneficial for dogs with inflammatory bowel disease or arthritis. Immune system: Omega-3s can help develop a dog's immune system. Cancer prevention: Omega-3s can help prevent certai

Have you ever wondered what it’s like hoovering the house when you have a German Shepherd lol Not easy they would prefer the tumble weed to stay in place and they won’t budge for you lol 😂

Missy had something different for our training session today. She had some freedom on the long line with Radar, Bleu and Skye something she has never done before. She was an absolute star and just happily walked along beside them enjoying some exploring. She done great with her recall also. Well done Missy Moo 🐮

Cuddle time with dad 🧑

.

When you want to have a play session with Radar and Diesal decides he wants to play tug just so as Radar doesn’t get to play lol Excuse my jibbering rubbish Just because Diesal is an old boy doesn’t mean he can’t join into though lol 😂

Practicing Bleu down stays at a distance using Radar as a distraction 😀

It’s been a hard day for Radar 😂🤣

Rhaegar GSD First time seeing this handsome lad in about a month. His owner has seen a big improvement with his reactions towards other dogs but his pulling on the lead has regressed so we worked mostly on lead walking. We saw a couple of dogs at the start and had a couple of shouts but nowhere near as bad as when we first started our programme. We done some hand targeting and luring work towards the end of the session and another shepherd went by but Rhaegar was too interested in working to even bother great job. He was rewarded with a settle session with Bleu ❤️
