Some free time at the end of the class for these playful adolescents 🥰
With the help of their human these 2 cutie pies are nailing it 🙌🏻
When I first met them for their assessment session their reactivity was very loud and pretty consistent.
🐾 We’ve worked on changing their emotional response to their many triggers at a distance.
🐾 We’ve also worked on improving their focus on their human.
🐾 Now the goal is to reduce the gap between them and triggers while they still remain comfortable.

We’re at the halfway point of this block of puppy classes.
I do love to watch the growth of confidence and behaviours during the 5 weeks 🥰
Here’s 3 of the pups enjoying the free time at the the end of the class playing beautifully together 🙌🏻
If you’d like to be added to the wait list for the next block of classes starting in September 30th please drop me a message

I had ZERO intention of recreating this video this year so I’m resharing from last year as the weather is a similar temperature today.
🙏 whatever you do this summer, please don’t leave your dog inside a car for any length of time.
If you’re noticing signs of heatstroke it can often be too late

I incorporate games as much as possible into training plans.
Hide and Seek is a particular favourite with us. Although I often wonder if it’s the dogs of me having the most fun.
The benefits:
🐾 It gets the pooches uses their brains which helps tire them.
🐾 They use their noses which is a calming activity
🐾 When off lead they have improved focus on me as they never know when I’m going hide
🐾 It’s a fun game. You can enjoy playing
What games do you enjoy playing with your dogs?

For todays #friyay we’re celebrating this darling boy. He has previously struggled with focus when off lead.
Secure fields can be an amazing way of boosting handler confidence in the dogs response to the cues.
During training walks we’ve;
🐾 Improved relationship with his owner
🐾 Improved focus both on and off lead
🐾 Created a solid recall
🐾 Improved calmness around people and dogs

We had some interlopers during our morning dip enrichment activity 🥰 #adencountrypark #ducks #dog #dogs #cockerspaniel #siberianhusky #canineenrichment #gemscanineacademy
For todays #friyay I want to celebrate the human end of the lead 🙌🏻
Living with dogs is easy on the surface.
Sprinkle in;
🐾 The worry when they’re injured or unwell
🐾 The stress with behaviour you’ve not previously encountered
🐾 The heartbreak when your dog isn’t the happy go lucky dog you had dreamed of
And suddenly it’s no so easy. Instead it can feel lonely, embarrassing, isolating (to name a few common feelings I get told)
I SEE YOU ❤️
🐾 You have reached out for help
🐾 You want to help your dogs learn
🐾 You never want to be in the photos, but show up committed
🐾 You stay committed in between sessions and see results
🐾 You’re honest with your updates, whether you’ve been on top of training for the week or whether life has got in the way

Gamora had heaps of fun proving some stereotypes wrong. Sometimes with dogs we just need to think outside of the box. If you give appropriate outlets, give an a reward your dog enjoys, and have fun you can achieve anything (obviously so long as your dog is physically capable) For Gamora, food is her biggest reward. When learning, we have to train fast as she picks it up quick and gets bored. #siberianhusky #husky #rescuedog #dogs #dogtrainer
