Start of a new course and an early one for the 8.45 am Rally class. Today we went back to basics level 1. Sit down sit, is a really important exercise, 1 cue (can be visual and verbal but must be carried out at the same time). Although basic the dog and handler must be aware of everything thing they do. Not as easy as you think. We are visiting a higher level next week and perfecting this will help with the class lesson. Keep practicing your pivot, remember left and right, but progress this very slowly for a solid foundation.
🐾🐾😍😍So this week in our Gold plus Rally class they were each tasked with designing their own mini Rally course.. Here is Fiona our trainee instructor and River working through their course. 🐾🐾😍😍
Staff training figure of 8, they do not move this fast normally
🤩Recall fun on the field with little Bea showing her recall skills through distractions on her Saturday puppy foundation course. Well done Bea and of course well done to her owner, practice makes for a reliable recall! 🤩
Scent work training for fun. Find It!!
Last week of this course and we are so proud of you all. Working in close proximity to each other and all your dogs are focusing on the task at hand. This is such a great exercise for any dog, working together as a team to find the hidden treats. Who said training your dog is no fun!!
😍🤣We also take dog singing classes!!! 🤣😍
Maya a very clever Collie and her human Graham performing the winning trick from their class. Brilliant. 🎉💞
Some of lovely dogs came in on Halloween trying to scare us!!!! 😱💖 Poor little Demby came in a orange frock, He does not look impressed bless him. 💖💙
Melissa, Archie and me looking our best on Halloween the last week of the current course . Have to say it was a poor effort from the Manager (me)! However no need to dress up to much as apparently it wouldn't of made much difference!!! Can't wait to be back in our Saturday haunt after lockdown. We will miss you all 😭😭
