Puppy class today had a bit of a master class in puppy / dog socialisation / manners 😬

I personally think dogs should just ignore other dogs, people, animals etc - it's common sense really, we wouldn't just run up to everyone we see when out and about, so why should our dogs 🤷🏼‍♀️

If all dogs kept themselves to themselves there would be much less issues!!
That doesn't mean they can't have 'friends' but they should be carefully chosen and well managed encounters 🥰

Another fun afternoon entertaining the kids at Leyland Playscheme (Official) this week!!

It was super hot too, but the dogs were super stars! ⭐

Massive thanks as always to Katie - dog holder extraordinaire, Margaret & Flossie and Angela, Gracie & Zach!!

Short video of the pups (Zach & Tinks) racing over the backs of the kids 🤣🤣🤣

Also if you read the LEP there may be a photo of us in there too!! 😱

Another great day for Team PTD at K9 Pursuits today!!

Angela & Gracie did it again 🤗 3rd Place in Heelwork and then only went and won Freestyle AGAIN!!
They were both on 🔥 and they looked like they REALLY belonged in that ring this weekend!!
I am so damn proud of them 💪🏼🎉 cake in class Angela!!!

Little Henry got another place for his Heelwork, 3rd today which I am super pleased with!!
As had some lovely comments about his accuracy 🤗

No places for his freestyle today, but as it's only his 4th time in a freestyle ring and we added new bits and an extra 30 seconds this weekend I am so pleased with how well he has done!! 😍🌟
He is an absolute super star ⭐

Lenny did a training round, and we did a little work on playing and having fun in the ring!!

All in all not a bad weekend 😍🎉

03/08/2024

Another GREAT day competing for the PTD dogs!!
We are at K9 Persuits in Newton Aycliffe this weekend!!

Angela and Gracie got a win in Starters Freestyle - which I do believe means they are now up into Novice 🎉
And also a 3rd in Starters Heelwork - and I have to say it was absolutely the best I have seen Gracie in the ring, she was AWESOME!! 🔥

Lenny was a good boy and tried hard, but we still have work to do with his engagement so we will be training tomorrow and working on bringing that spark back!!

Little Henry golden balls was just FAB in his Novice Heelwork this morning and got a 2nd place which now means he is moving on up to Intermediate 😱
He got a 4th place, but just missed out on his points as he scored 17.10 (you need a score of 18 or more for the points) but for a baby dog, that has only ever been in the freestyle ring 3 times I could not be happier!! 😍

All that hard work is definitely paying off!! 🤗🎉🌟💝
Super proud Dog Trainer 😊

31/07/2024

All in all a lovely day!!

🔹 **My Job as a Dog Trainer** 🔹

Let's clear something up – my job title isn't quite accurate! I don't actually get paid to train dogs; I get paid to teach *you* how to train your own dog! Imagine I'm teaching a learner driver to teach another learner driver.
Sometimes it's like coaching someone to drive a Formula 1 car, other times it's more like a reliable Ford Focus – but every single time, it's about helping you with your beloved family member!

That's a ton of responsibility, and I take it very seriously. My goal is to build strong foundations so you and your dog can enjoy a happy, accident-free life together for the next 10+ years!

🐾 **Introducing My Foundations / Puppy Program** 🐾

This program is designed to set you up for success with a series of fun games, exercises, tricks, and tips. You'll become the perfect trainer for your dog, laying down those solid foundations that are crucial for longevity.

From these awesome foundations, if you put the work in, you and your dog can achieve great things! Whether you're living your best lives as pet dog owners or competing in various sports, setting you and your dog up for success is what matters most to me.

Remember, without solid foundations, nothing can last. Let's build those foundations together! 💪🏼

NEW Website Launch

We have been busy behind the scenes with a new website, this has now gone LIVE!!!
Hop on over to www.prestontrickdogs.co.uk and check it out!

ALL bookings, the new learning platform EVERYTHING will be run through here eventually!

Obviously there may be some teething problems initially so PLEASE bear with me if we run into any issues, and if you do spot anything that you think could be better please let me know!

Last day of the Lune Valley Obedience Show today!!

Angela and Gracie had a great day!
6th in Pre-Beginners
5th in Beginners

Lenny seemed to have a flash of concentration in Beginners today and showed a little more commitment pulling off a 6th place just behind Gracie!!
Swiftly followed by little Henry, who was a little off form today and came in 7th and also best AOV again 😍

Lenny trained Novice again and Henry did a very respectable round in his Novice class 🤗

It was nice to finally work in the sun instead of the rain today too!!

14/07/2024

Lune Valley Obedience!!

A cracking day out for PTD dogs again today!!

Gracie had 9th in Pre-Beginners and 4th in Beginners
and little Henry was 2nd in Beginners 💜

The less we say about Lenny the better 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂

13/07/2024

Lune Valley Obedience show today, Angela and Gracie have had a GREAT day!!
7th in Pre-Beginners
3rd in Beginners as well as best Gun Dog 😍🤗

Absolutely awesome work 💯👏🏼

12/07/2024

Little Henry was the only one with ribbons today!!

He fluffed his recall present in the run off for 5th or 6th so we finished in 6th place in Beginners and also got best AOV (any other variety) 💜

Lenny was better today than his last obedience outing, we trained Novice so hopefully added some more credit in the bank for tomorrow 🤞🏼

Henry's Novice round felt amazing, it was much better than we have done before and he ended up losing 10 points - which is definitely an improvement on our previous cricket scores! 😂😂

Pudding had his first ring experience and actually didn't do too bad!! We trained, but he wasn't interested in his toy so he was rewarded for some nice heelwork with a retrieve which he did great apart from the hold and present - but we already knew that wasn't stable anyway 🤗

My most proud moment was that all the judges commented on how much fun my dogs have and they love being with me - which is exactly what I aim for 😍🤩

Apparently it's International German Shepherd Day today!! To celebrate my half a German Shepherd took his first dive of the season in the pool!! 😍 I still have some work to do before we can open for the public, but we are almost there!! 🤩

There is space on tonight's in person tricks class at 8pm if you are quick!! https://PrestonTrickDogs.as.me/trick1 Video of the little one doing some routine practice 🤩 This trick will feature in this months classes too!! 😍

Scent Classes yesterday did some more speed searches - basically a selection of small search areas each with a different scent, they pre-scent the dog so they know what they are looking for and then do the searches! They do the search and move to the next area - sort of like speed dating!! 🤗🤣🤣 Even the less experienced dogs absolutely ACED it 🥰 I only managed to remember to get one video this week of the lovely Chedders doing an external small area search for 3 catnip retrieves! This is an active search, which is different from the passive searches we tend to cover in class! Check him out here absolutely loving it!! 😍🥰

Sharing coz it's too much fun 🥰 Love these two boys working together 😍

🐾 Why Teach Your Dog Tricks? Here's the Scoop! 🌟 🐶 Every dog has its day, but why stop at just being a good boy or girl when they can be an absolute superstar? Teaching your furry friend tricks isn't just about entertainment; it's about fostering a deeper bond and enriching their lives in countless ways! 🌟 Mental Stimulation: Just like us, dogs thrive on mental challenges. Teaching them tricks engages their brains, keeping them sharp, alert, and eager to learn. It's like a puzzle they can't wait to solve! 🤗 Strengthen the Bond: Training sessions are quality time spent together, strengthening the bond between you and your pup. Through positive reinforcement and teamwork, you'll create trust, communication, and an unbreakable connection. 💪 Build Confidence: Watching your dog master a new trick is a confidence booster like no other. It instils a sense of accomplishment and pride in them, boosting their self-esteem and overall well-being. 😊 Beat Boredom: A bored dog is a mischievous dog! Teaching tricks provides mental stimulation and an outlet for their energy, reducing boredom and destructive behaviours. Plus, it's a whole lot of fun for both of you! 👏 Impressive Impressions: Let's face it, who doesn't love showing off a talented pooch? Whether it's impressing friends and family or wowing strangers at the park, your dog's repertoire of tricks will turn heads and bring smiles wherever you go. 🌈 Endless Possibilities: From basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced tricks like roll over and play dead, the sky's the limit! With patience, consistency, and a sprinkle of creativity, you can teach your dog almost anything. 🌟 So, why teach your dog tricks? Because the journey is as rewarding as the destination. It's about forging a lifelong partnership built on trust, love, and endless possibilities. Start your adventure today and watch your furry friend shine! 🐾✨ #DogTricks #BondingTime #SmartPup

Playing about with the puppy today!! We need to work on a freestyle routine, shame I messed it up at the end 🤦🏼‍♀️ He is going to be a little cracker this one!! 🥰

The competition boys and I headed over to a training show in Oswestery today!! 6 routines with 4 dogs - I am pooped!! They all did really well, I am super proud of all of them, and a little more motivated to get those routines sorted and do them more justice this season too!! Some little snippets from their training today . . . . .

Our Good Citizens are preparing for their tests!! With the lighter evenings we can get that all important road walking practice in too!! Have you booked for May classes yet, as these classes are filling VERY fast at the moment!! https://PrestonTrickDogs.as.me

If you have signed up to The Trick to your Perfect Puppy on our online Teachable course, drop me a message to be added to the All new Facebook Group!! All the exercises are in there for you, with the chance to participate in conversations and post videos in the exclusive group!! If you haven't enrolled in the course and want to know more feel free to message too!!

Spot the Obedience Heelwork trained dog and the Loose Lead trained dog!! I know they are wearing head collars, but they are big dogs and I am not all that strong, they should not be pulling into the head collars on a lead walk, they are purely there in case of a sudden lunge - so we don't ALL end up under a bus!! Cooper has no where near the same loyalty to being 'by my side' when loose lead walking as Lenny does!! All my dogs are now taught the heel position with much stricter criteria than 'just a loose lead' as the fall out means I get a much nicer general loose lead walking behaviour!! 🤗 It's not the best videoing, but I am sure you get the picture - Lenny isn't even in a close heel position, but he maintains a steady pace and is not surging forward and back like Cooper does!!

A little snippet from Lenny's routine this weekend #novicehtm #dancingdog #gsdxlab #bigbadvoodoodaddy

Last night's Trick Class had a play with the suitcases!! The trick of the month is tidy your toys, and this behaviour offers many of the same qualities 😍 Check out Daisy & Marlene absolutely nailing it!!
