This is one for the businesses that follow this page (I know you're here 😉)...

I'm quite sure that you've probably seen one or more of my FB ads by now. Love them or hate them, they can be a crucial strategy for building your business (especially if you offer online content).

Well, my recent success with them has been because of a Bootcamp I signed up for in April. That bootcamp is running again in a couple of weeks, and signup is open now. Click the link for more info 👇

(You all know I love Movement Puzzles, right? This video shows Peak working on tightening up turns (particularly to his right), but they are useful for SO many things! Read on for more...

Movement Puzzles are a concept that my colleague Mari Valgma first developed to help sport and working dogs develop better body control and coordination while moving.

It quickly became apparent that it not only helps dogs move with more precision and awareness, doing Movement Puzzles is also empowering for our dogs!

Movement Puzzles help to improve your dog’s:
✅ confidence in new situations
✅ focus during training
✅ independence and distance skills
✅ ability to better deal with stressful situations

Plus Movement Puzzles are FUN!

Mari will be running a free training series called “Your First Movement Puzzle” from September 1st to 5th. Join her to find out how you can use Movement Puzzles in your training for powerful mental and physical benefits!

This is a really important read, for a couple of reasons. Firstly to raise awareness of this condition, but mainly to highlight how we need to advocate for our dogs. Too often, pain is overlooked as the key contributing factor in behavioural issues 😥 Sarah Hedderly - DingBatt Dog Training was persistent in seeking a solution, knowing that Sparkles was in pain. I'm so happy she found a solution 💕

I have questions!

What days/dates are good for people in March for a Movement Puzzles session? This will be a follow on from previous sessions, and we'll be looking at introducing a new puzzle. Options are Mondays or Wednesdays (not 19th Mar)

Is anybody interested in learning some Lost Item Recovery? Mainly just for fun, but can be a useful skill too!

Either Rexon, or am up for suggestions on other venues!

For your viewing pleasure, Ripley and Peak doing their monthly Movement Puzzles challenge ( 😉)
