The best time at

In the dog industry we are always learning and shaping our craft, and I'm so grateful to be able to attend these kinds of events.

Shout out to Raven and Mouse for being outstanding pack members during such a busy day!

We thoroughly enjoyed watching nail her demo with the beautiful Jaffa who is now sporting some bespoke wings🪽🐾

🌟Comfort🌟

I'm incredibly proud to share that the Everyday Dogs team is not only completely comfortable with all aspects of grooming but also excels as our welcoming committee in a busy salon.

Their regular grooming sessions mean the process is familiar, they know the routine perfectly, and nothing phases them. It's essential for me, as their owner, to ensure they're desensitized to grooming, especially since it's a vital part of their care as show dogs – a nightmare if they hated it!

Here's Raven looking a bit too relaxed on the table!

🌟DESENSITISATION🌟

Mouse has been joining 'the bigs' on several outings as of late to ensure she's as bomb proof as her cousins.

Not only is Mouse tagging along on buses, in stores and to the odd dog show, but we're also working on her focus in these places.

Yes, dogs should be desensitised to noises, different textures underfoot, handling and so on, but its also important to work on focus towards their handler in these places.

Our aim is to create an environmentally neutral dog who sees more value in their handler than other dogs, people and so on!

Well done, Mouse!
P.s- you may have to zoom in to spot the pup😂

🌟PUPPY INTROS🌟

Mouse is coming on LEAPS AND BOUNDS within the pack and is gaining confidence every day.

With little mouse being so...well...little...proper introductions to the rest of the pack were paramount.

We never opt to throw our puppies into the deep end with the rest of the dogs and let them fend for themselves. Instead, gradual introductions on a 1-2-1 basis was our plan of action.

Mouse interpreted incredibly quickly and struts her stuff with the big dogs all the time.

If you're thinking about adding another dog to the pack but dont know where to start, drop us a message!

🌟THE GIRL DID GOOD🌟

This weekend we attended the third annual Yakutian Laika Club UK show in Malvern, Worcestershire.

The show was held at the busy and beautiful Three Counties Showground which is one of my favourite venues!

Raven was a superstar- as usual.
True to her 'go anywhere, do anything' nature, she took the whole thing in her stride...even the heat!

We showed relatively early in the morning, kept the dogs in the shade and competed quickly and conscientiously.

Raven was awarded 2nd Open Bitch🥈and showed her socks off.
Despite being a relatively small class, Raven moved and behaved beautifully and I'm the real winner because I get to call her Mine.
She is a wonderful advocate for her breed and I adore showing her to the world.
Well done Raven!- who is having a well earned rest day.

Watch this space for more...👀

🌟INTRODUCTIONS🌟

We would like to formally introduce you to the latest member of the Everyday Dogs team!

This is 'Mouse', Chars sister in laws new 8 week old Chihuahua who brings our household total to 6! (Rookie numbers...👀)

Mouse is the smallest member of our pack but has already made herself comfortable and is showing her personality!

It's going to be an amazing change from the big dogs we're used to, and we can't wait to train her!

Keep your eyes peeled for tiny puppy content👀🐾

Stubborn! 😡

If I had a pound for every time someone called their dog "stubborn," I'd be retired on a yacht!
> Here's the truth: dogs aren't malicious, and "stubbornness" is a human emotion we often project onto them. What looks like defiance is usually a dog who either doesn't fully understand what's being asked or hasn't found the right motivation to perform the desired behaviour.

Instead of labelling them, let's look inward. Do we need to clarify our communication? Find a stronger motivator?

Take Blue, my Siberian Husky. Huskies often get labelled as the "most stubborn" breed. While she's definitely full of character, stubborn? No. Our breakthroughs came from understanding her motivations and finding clear communication in our training. Let's ditch the "stubborn" label and embrace understanding

☀️☀️ It's scorching out there! ☀️☀️

To my amazing clients and prospective clients, your dog's safety and well-being are always my top priority.

With this intense heat, I need to make a few adjustments to our schedule.

Please understand that last-minute rescheduling may occur due to the high temperatures. It's simply not fair, or safe, to ask a dog to work in this heat. Not only is it a risk to their health, but it's also incredibly difficult for them to concentrate when they're overheated.

Since most of our training takes place outdoors, the pavements will be far too hot for delicate paws. Your dog's health always comes first!

Whenever possible, I'll be looking to rearrange appointments to early mornings or late evenings. These times offer much more comfortable temperatures for your furry friends. I'll do my best to accommodate everyone, and your flexibility is greatly appreciated.

Stay safe and keep cool! It's times like these that make us really look forward to autumn

Puppy training!

This handsome pup is, 'Paddy' during our first session.
Since this picture was taken Paddy has grown three times the size and is an absolute dream.
Paddy's owners have been diligently working on laying the foundations for Recall, heelwork, calmness and much MUCH more.

I have now seen Paddy on several occasions and am always thoroughly impressed with the work his owners have put in!
(I can always tell if you've done your homework...👀)

Paddy is a true testament to building those foundations early while you have a conplete blank slate to work from instead of waiting for bad behaviours to develop!

Puppy days are the BEST days!

🌟Grooming✂️🌟

Did you know 'Everyday Dogs' offers more than just fantastic training? We also provide multi-award-winning grooming services! 🏆

Grooming takes place at the wonderful 'Short Bark And Sides' in Worcester Park, Surrey, where we're experts at helping dogs look and feel their absolute best.

And with shedding season in full swing, now is the perfect time! 🐾 Double-coated breeds will be leaving a trail of winter fur everywhere – in your coffee, your meals, and probably even your neighbor's laundry! Helping these hounds release their undercoat during the summer is crucial for their comfort and to help them stay cool and regulate their body temperature.

So, if your pup is in need of a de-shed, a stylish new 'do' or a training session...drop us a message- we've got you covered!

🌟DESPITE BEST EFFORTS...🌟

Even with the best intentions and diligent training, those tricky undesirable behaviours can sometimes sneak in. Despite months dedicated to gentle desensitisation to various sights, sounds, people, and other dogs, fears and phobias can still take root.

Spirit started showing fear towards seemingly random things and individuals, even though she hasn't had any significant negative experiences. Coming from exceptional lineage and a dedicated breeder, genetics aren't the culprit. Plus, she had positive and appropriate exposure to everything from puppyhood. So, where did this come from?

Sometimes, it just happens. Perhaps a subtle cue was missed by me at a crucial moment, leading to a gradual build-up of generalised fear. But does this mean we retreat and avoid everything that makes her nervous? Absolutely not!

I'm here to share that this can be overcome. The proof is right here with our amazing Belgian! Spirit is embracing life with increasing confidence each day.

Our approach isn't to shy away from her triggers. Instead, we're committed to gradual, positive exposure, gently showing her that these things aren't so scary after all.

We're in this together, Spirit! ❤️
