Get to know your dog, not the dog you want then to become. Only then will you know how to guide them.
Lovely small packwalk this evening.
Great work everyone.

Training doesn't always go to plan. Have fun with your dogs 🐾
Let puppies have full lives.
There is a current trend in (mainly working breed, ) clients, where they have been told to never let their puppy interact with dogs or people other than their owner.
This is so unnecessary and potentially harmful.
Puppies are sponges who best learn how to interact with the world in their first few months, and if they're never allowed to interact with a big portion of that world, then they are bound to struggle as adults. Exposing your young dog to good role models in a structured way, helps them learn crucial manners and teaches them how to act around other people and dogs as adults. This will reduce the chances of aggression and anxiety as an unsure adult.
Don't over do direct socialisation to the point of frustration, but also don't isolate your puppy.
Happy middle ground are crucial 🐾😊
Nova ❤️
I finally decided on a place for you.
In memory of a life, beautifully lived.
My sweet Nova.
Today I celebrate you in memory.
I'll give Rehn your eggs, they wont be wasted❤️
"Sunlight streams through window pane onto a spot on the floor…
then I remember,
it’s where you used to lie, but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound…
then I remember,
it’s where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
then I remember,
it can’t be yours — your golden voice is still.
But I’ll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall,
and lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall.
I’ll wrap these treasured memories in a blanket of my love,
and keep them for my best friend until we meet above."
Penny did some fab work last night at her first group class since she went home.
She came to us for a weeks bootcamp to work on some reactivity to dogs and pulling on the lead.
Clearly it's stuck 😃
