Instead of chucking a ball over and over, try this 👌
Impulse control, improved engagement, confidence building, physical and mental exercise 🐾😊
Mabel learning the beginnings of a 'send away' around a big bottle of washing up liquid. For no reason in particular, apart from it's fun, and she likes being told she's a good girl, and eating stuff 👌🤣😋
Would you look at Frank!! 🧐🧐
Wow! From pulling on the lead ALL the time, to walking alongside the pram!!! 👌
Huge, huge well done to Frank, and jo and matt 👌
Just shows, when the work is put in, changes happen!
Im so, so proud of you guys! From feeling totally overwhelmed, to just taking a stroll, with a beautiful new bundle, and Frank (a lovely furry bundle) 🤣👌🐾
Tip, if you've a dog that likes to play with a ball on walks...
Instead of repeatedly throwing the ball, try this instead 👌
Your dog is using their brain too, and will be much more relaxed after their walk 👌
I helped bella a little in this video, by letting her see roughly where i 'hid' it and towards the end, so she didnt disengage, walk off and find something better to do 🤷♀️🐾🤣
You can increase the difficulty as your dog has practiced and got better at finding it 😊
News flash!!
Rudy has gone up and down the stairs!
It's funny the little 'problems' we come across... stairs were an issue for Rudy and for his owner, as they live in a flat, with no lift!
Hopefully rudy will now transfer this new skill !
Well done louise and rudy 👌💪
Who says you can't train a (previously bunny hopping) spaniel to walk on a loose lead, using positive reinforcement only??
Absolutely we can... time, patience, timing... it can be done. Message me if you'd like some help with loose lead walking 👌🐾😍
Well done buddy 👌
Bella and barney in the puddle !!
11 nights away, and the deterioration as we've not seen him is significant. That left back leg 😢
Fortunately, he seems oblivious, for now 🤷♀️
If people have a spare 10 minutes on a rainy Sunday afternoon to read this, any feedback would be appreciated. This is part of an assessment for domestication and evolution. Enjoy 🐾
Lost another ball ⚽️🙄🤷♀️
