Heya all... Merry Christmas. Enjoy your walks and eat all the food! And don't let your people tell you you're not allowed turkey... Their lying... Don't accept their falsehoods! We can smell it, and it deserves to be in our mouth.

They might also have special cheese... When the get the red water out, the one in the glass bottle... That's your time to shine. Start alert, stay frosty, and get them cheeses!

Much love, from the friendly bearded man. I salute you.

So this little bundle of joy first came to me, basically on crack. I was a little concerned they were made of springs... Especially around other dogs.

I just got this little video with the title "look at this Christmas miracle"

And I never use prongs or slips. We're not bribing the dog. We're just using repitition and good training.. Their owners absolutely nailing it.

This is literally the reason I do what I do... Chilled walks, pub trips, and being able to enjoy your dog.

LAST PUPPY PRESCHOOL OF 2024!

So if you havent heard of puppy preschool... Its for any new dog owner. These are every Saturday (after this one, starting back up in the new year) and only £10 per session. These tend to fill pretty quick, and already we have half the slots booked up (again!)... So thanks all! I also picked up some new things for pups to play with.

In these classes, we work on that critically important socilisation. And as socilisation is all about nutralitity, not play… We have all these pups working with their handlers, focusing on us, and learning about their new life with their new family in some fun and engaging ways, while getting to smell and 'meet' all of the other dogs.

We have equipment and exercises to get them used to new sights, sounds, smells, experiences, textures and more. And we do all of this around other dogs, with the perfect balance of social, but focused in mind… Dogs are on lead, they don’t get to jump all over each other and they spend their time instead paying attention to us, looking to us for guidance and not developing that annoying habit of seeing another dog and… Well… Sodding off because they learned at an early stage that humans don’t matter when theres another dog around. So, to help with this we start with settles and focus to us… And if you’ve ever wanted to take your pup to a pub, café, or friends house without 200 ‘im so sorry, their just too excited’… This is what you want for your socilisaion.

So if you're interested in socilising your pup with an accredited, highly reviewed trainer, meeting new people and potentially squishing other puppies, then come join us at Duston Village Hall.

Any questions, feel free to ask. And as always, if you wanted to talk about any dog training, behaviour help, courses, walk and trains, free pack walks, workshops or anything else, you can set up a free call here - https://calendly.com/chasing-pawfection/intro

Its that time again, where the Nene Rivers Trust has asked me to do some free pack walks. We’ll be walking around the stunning Stanwick Lakes for about an hour and I’ll be there for help and advice. I think theres also a lovely event going on there too, so plenty to do after the walk too! Make a little day of it… A great morning out, even if we do say so ourselves!

Booking can be done below:
https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/nene-rivers/t-zzmrmxj?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0Kj8UmpJay3sqygDIW8Q5w6zbwiO9KnFq9UGeoADcaoGoePn2r0R5DtkY_aem_xQ2np_wXhRI718uqDYelhA

As with all my pack walks, their done on lead, with focus on making sure everyone is comfortable and safe, so reactive dogs are fine, so long as they are under control, and it isn’t too much for them. Dogs always come first. If you have any queries regarding this, please contact me before booking to discuss. If you want to talk about any other training needs before or after the walk, you can also book a free call using this link.

Though I've contacted everyone, heres a little PSA to let you know that due to the apocalypse, Im taking Sunday off... Be caseful with all your doggos out there. Its super easy to get brained by a tree branch, or have pup jump into a fun looking mini lake or the usual safe river, only to have a fallen branch act like a grabber and hold them underwater.

So do yourselves all a favor and cuddle up under a warm blanket instead of taking that woodland walk, or whatever. :)

Stay safe peoples!

But clearly, dogs can meet and play if we get carried away, and its too cute not too

Also, this pup was afraid to come in for the first 20 minutes, so we took some time, explained how to help them and they really got into it shortly after. We also worked on some loose lead and recall basics!

Ill have some new jumps, and new bits for this weeks class. And as always, we'll have the tunnels, weaves, and snuffle stations all set up.

Speaking of which, we have equipment and exercises to get them used to new sights, sounds, smells, experiences, textures and more. And we do all of this around other dogs, with the perfect balance of social, but focused in mind.
