Moments after I recall 6 dogs away from 3 running deer 😅
Scratch board in action 😍 with our mate Marvin the poodle and demonstrated by his big sister Ketchup ……. Ps best name ever 👍
⭐️Simple Things you can do to increase your dogs engagement with you out on walks⭐️
- increasing your engagement activities when out and about with your dogs is especially important as it helps all sorts of dogs
- puppies with short attention spans
- adolescent dogs who need to work up to distractions
- lead reactive dogs who need to learn some confidence and to feel safe and that your actions are predictable
- very shy dogs need confidence building quick easy wins to build their relationship with you #engagementtraining #checkins #dogtraininghelp#howtotrainpuppies #howtottraindogs #dogsofplymouth
🐶Want to know how I get more engagement with your dog on a walk?
There are lots of ways really but one in particular is by using your dogs natural inclination for jumping and climbing (Ulla thinks she’s a mountain goat🐐😅)
You may want to unlock your dog’s full potential with Puppy Parkour! 🐾
This dog was a pocket raider and is constantly mining for attention so I gave her own makeshift “tasks” that she alone has to do - it means she gets the 1-2-1 interaction from me but it’s something I can ask her to do when she is sometimes overstimulated in a group setting - it also gets her brain working because she has a short attention span and likes to be kept busy - that shrill barking is her being overexcited or telling me that I was too slow with my treat delivery - it is also a breed trait - shrill spitz breed but I still love her ❤️❤️ - side note this dog is 8 years old and has had two litters of puppies - still life in the old girl yet 😍😍🐐🐐
Message me if you fancy doing a summer session in the park and you live in Plymouth 👍

Happy Weekend Everyone - Here’s a little snapshot when I am out and about with the daily trip of spaniels 🐶❤️🐶 this is only Day 2 of asking Toby to “Search” he is naturally inclined to retrieve things so I thought I make it more productive for him & one day I might drop my gloves and can go get them for me 😍😍 #retrieve #abouttownpetcare #abouttownpets #search #findit #gradualtraining #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementtraining #yes #bitoffun#trainyourdogs #timing #patience #repetition #dogtraining #dogtrainingplymouth #happydogs #cockerspaniels #workingcockerspaniel #giveyourdogajob #spaniels #dogsofplymouth #dogownersofplymouth
⭐️⭐️Beep Beep- Good News⭐️⭐️
The Big Old Girl (my old van 😅) has just been upgraded - This is Little Blue 🚙 😍😍
🐶For context ….I promised myself at the time of my last tax return that I would get myself out of debt and as a reward I’d buy myself a newer van …… and here we are 2 credit cards and a store card that I’ve had since I was 18 years old (only one left to go 😅) GONE
Then sensible saving for the next 10 months and the sale of a much loved campervan (thank you beautiful husband Joe Landricombe ❤️) has gotten me to this point ❤️❤️
So I’m sorry to my friends and family for not being around a lot and working my little butt off but there was a reason for it 👍👍
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something - make a plan - be realistic and execute said plan in small increments …… just like I tell my dog training clients🤣🤣
So if you see a crazy person in a blue van waving at you…..It’s me 🐶🐶🚙🚙👋🏻
