I mean one more wouldn’t hurt… even numbers are better than odd 😂
Is using treats making your dog fat? 🦴
Im pretty sure I have never come across a dog that is overweight from using treats as reward when it comes to training. I think this is more from the dog training the owner with their puppy dog eyes when they walk past the treat cupboard or while their owner is eating their lunch... all dogs need supper right? 😂
But in all seriousness, if you are using huge treats to reward your dog then yes, you will be filling them up faster and if your doing a lot of training then you may see their weight increase.
This is why I personally think its so important to have nice small training treats when working with your dogs, to not only get the most out of your sessions but to also keep our dogs healthy!
Look at this little superstar ⭐️
Remy and her owner Liz have been a customer for a little while now. Starting with our Gold puppy package to get training of right, from the start and what an absolutely pleasure they are to work with!
Liz has done an absolutely cracking job and here they are working on some manners ready for when guest arrive. Just like any puppy Remy loves when here favourite people come to visit, so teaching her appropriate behaviours when they do is an important thing for her family.
I love to receive the videos of their little training session, putting into practise things we have covered in our sessions!
So a big shout out to this fantastic team! You’re smashing your training!
Iv honestly never been so glad to be back to work, in a field with the dogs!
Thank you to everyone for bearing with me the past 2 weeks while I have been on Jury service.
I’m back to work until Wednesday then me and the trio are off to our big flyball competition (which couldn’t have come at a better time, these past few weeks have been hard 😅)
I will get back to any messages today but then after Wednesday my work phone will be off until Monday! When normal services will resume 💕
So I thought it was about time I did a little introduction as we have some new people to the page! 👋🏼
As you can tell I LOVE to go on adventures with my guys! 🐾
📍So where is your favourite place to take your dogs
Something that’s important to me as a multi dog household is that each dog waits their turn for training!
Here is baby Tucker having a practise of some loose lead foundations, while the older dogs watch and wait their turn ( in this case until they are released) 🐶⭐️
Hard work does pay off!
Proof that all your hard work can pay off! Watch until the end for a laugh at me 😂
This weekend I took Indie & Roo to the 2nd comp of the season.
Little Roo ran amazingly as always throughout the day, putting no paw out of place!
But the star of the show and the best moment of my 2024 so far was Indie doing her first full run! And let me tell you once she started, there was no stopping her! She ran consistent, clean and most of all loving every minute of it for the rest of the racing day!
I did get very emotional as Indie hasn’t been an easy dog and I have worked bloody hard with her to get to where we are today, even just in our day to day life, so to see her doing this was… well amazing! Im so proud of how far we have come and how much she loves to train!
Now enjoy my reaction to her first clean run (volume up) 😂
One of Ginos favourite questions!

So the snow came down so thick yesterday in Millom in the Lakes❄️
I was hoping it would clear so we could get home today but the roads are still unpassable and police have said not to travel!
We are hoping to be able to get back tomorrow 🤞🏼 but on the plus side the dogs are living their best lives in all the snow! I don’t think iv ever seen it so thick ⛄️
