Try this mini challenge over the next few days and see how your dog engages. It doesn't matter if your dog is not interested in the environmental reward, the fact that you call them in for something different will help build curiosity and engagement!

A strong recall is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog, but many owners unintentionally make it boring and predictable . If your dog only hears their name when it’s time to go back on the lead, why would they want to come running? Dogs thrive on curiosity, engagement, and unpr

If anyone is interested in following my puppy Uno’s journey through life then you can follow him on Instagram - uno_of_a_kind.

Uno has a problem with his shoulder which is being investigated by the amazing Anderson Moores vets, waiting for results of a CT scan. He is the most incredible pup and I will be sharing his training and progress. Uno needs followers 🙏

When I see dogs trotting along 8 metres ahead of their owner along a busy road it makes me so nervous. It only takes a squirrel or a cat to appear out of nowhere and the dog could end up involved in a terrible accident. Please use flexi leads with caution!

A fun visual representation of what your dog sees (smells) every day. Look at how noisy it is and how many tracks there are intertwining. The different animals, people, and dogs movement in just one area. The snow lets us humans see the history of this area and what animals and people have passed through. A dog will smell this every day and know who and what animals have passed through. Smellavision!!!!

Dogs are incredible.

Imagine tracking and detection dogs needing to filter out all this noise and track a single scent down. Amazing!

(Note this is a fun representation, not accurate)

Scent Level 3 Class learning a brand new Freeze indication on a brand new scent. Forest has nailed it! #scentworkfordogs #dogsnoses #doghandlertraining #scentworkuk

I love watching kids train their dogs! This little dog is lucky enough to have 2 young handlers take the lead and they are both amazing 🥰 #gundogtrainingwithkids #fungundogtraining #doghandlertraining #kidsanddogs and dogs

This was Phoebe in the DHT fun gundog class last week. I love helping children train their dogs and watching the bond that it brings. Children are always welcome in my classes ❤️

Max and Millie Whistle Recall
Max and Millie Whistle Recall

To the human ear you probably can't tell the difference but my dogs are trained to different whistle pitches. This means when they are out together I can work them seperately. Millie doesn't respond to Max's whistle and vice versa. Dogs are incredible! Millie - Acme 210.5, Max Acme 211.5 If you would like to learn how to train a whistle recall, download the whistle training programme on the DHT Website https://www.doghandlertraining.co.uk/dht-online/p/whistle-training-recall-guide

Fun Gundog Level 2. This is Charlie who wasn’t really that bothered about retrieving and would spend more time sniffing about in the grass than collecting dummies. He would sometimes pick up a rabbit dummy if he felt like it but quickly turned his attention back to sniffing. However…. Something has clicked with this little dog and he has been on fire the last couple of weeks. Today he picked up a flying duck, a puppy disc, a water dummy and at one point was like lightening and picked up one of Hatties dummies before anyone even noticed he had left his spot! Apart from a dummy swap in this run, his drive and determination is 1000% better and his delivery is very nearly there. Well done Jan! You’ve done wonders with him and it’s soooo lovely to see him excel and love his training 👏

This was some of the activities in the Dog Games class last weekend, lead walking races with a cup of water and earning points for distance sits in a target. So much fun even if Honey’s owner did get a bit wet 😂

Fun Gundog Level 3. This was one of the exercises we did today, everyone stood in a circle and threw a dummy into the middle then sent their dog in to retrieve it. Everyone got the correct dummy and the correct dog back! So proud of you guys 🥰
