Gone are the days where we need to battle with our dogs to health check, treat or muzzle them.
Modern training is focused on encouraging our dogs to be willingly co-operative in day to day life.
Far better that we teach our dogs to become familiar with the existence of muzzles, than them going through the stress of suddenly having one of these strange objects thrust upon them in a health crisis.
•
How do we start muzzle training? Well not with a muzzle as it happens.
The first thing we want to do is play some fun games where the dogs learn to willingly put their heads into things.
We use cones, yoghurt pots or small buckets, anything that provides a comfortable snug fit for the dog's nose shape.
Not only do we want them to pop their noses into these things, we want them to hold steady for a moment or too. This stimulates the time needed to do a muzzle up.
•
This game can then be transferred not just to muzzles, but halti's, harnesses and anything else useful.

Summertime Distraction in Classes! Some of these dogs entered a paddling pool for the first time ever 👏👏. Its all about role modelling. It was also a great excuse to cool my feet! We love having the paddling pools out.

Don't Let Your Veteran Dogs Get Forgotten!
Mental stimulation helps keep them feeling a little bit younger and produces those positive endorphins. Gentle physical exercises helps keep up muscle strength.
Some pod work going on here. We use all sizes, working one leg to all four legs. Maintaining conscious body awareness and providing a bit of inner core work. This gets combined with fun activities such as highly rewarding scent games and retrieving games.
This is a gentle 45 minutes which the dogs love. A bit of one on one them time without any younger whipper snappers taking centre stage. All of our current golden oldies used to do classes have had a gap and are so thrilled to be back! Dogs are worked to their age, health and ability.

Break Through Day!
Celebrating Liz & Doug who have been on a helluva journey, one they are still travelling. Hours and hours of work unravelling a serious combination of medical, hormonal, behaviour and training challenges have lead to this moment. A first session back in the vicinity of a group of dogs. This wasn't about exercises and activity, but about relaxation and emotional mindset. How our dogs feel, their arousal levels, their tank of confidence, their respect and trust towards their human and their ability to listen are all relevant when it comes to dog around dog integration or any other type of integration. It is also about the handlers confidence, mindset, timing, understanding and developed skills too. The speed at which a programme of work can take place is unique to every dog and every story. Critical ones like Doug's story take time, care and heartfelt dedication. Something these guys have proved themselves with on every level. Gradually reaping the rewards. These moments make our hearts sing.
