FAQ - "what's a conditioning session?"
👇👇👇
Our conditioning sessions are an hour long slot where we will give your dog physical and mental stimulation using a variety of our training equipment such as agility tools, spring pole, flirt pole, treadmills, weight pulling, scent work ect. These types of sessions are a great family activity to help you bond with your dog/s and for you to learn breed specific ways to drain your dogs excess energy which in turn will help with your training! It's also a fantastic way to keep extra weight off your dogs and to reaffirm your bond due to the oxytocin release the exercises brings about.
Despite any training routine you are following with your dog it's still extremely important to remember to have fun with your dog as well. If you've got a high energy dog that never stops or you just want to have fun then get in touch, we can help you to make a structured fitness regime to get your dog in tip top condition. Sessions like this will also help you with the basic obedience and they are known to help reduce anxiety by relieving pent up stress! Beans loves coming to these and they also help out his owners when they are working long shifts - a tired dog is a happy dog 🙌
🚨 Availability Tuesday 12th Nov 3:30pm🚨
This is little glimpse into our obedience booster....
This small group session is aimed at enhancing the skills your dog has already obtained. If your dog walks nicely with you that's great but let's polish up that formal heel and encourage eye contact, if your dog has good recall but are hit and miss around distractions then this group will help you work on that as well!
We specifically tailored this particular session to both dogs current needs as we did get some cancellations due to the rain so each session will vary depending on the dogs that are booked onto the session. Message us for more details 🙌
Kaizer && Bonnie
Last week we made the pilgrimage to Huddersfield to help integrate two friends pups so they can be around each other for work and social purposes. We tweaked a few outdoor issues too but mainly we went to show both owners how to bring both dogs into each others households efficiently and without conflict.
Being an XL bully means that Kaizer is unfortunately under constant scrutiny and must achieve nothing less than perfect behavior at all times so we had to do initial socialization and desensitization steps correctly before moving into the house with the training. We went to the clients private and enclosed property to allow the dogs to socialize without restrictions and they both did extremely well, showing us that they were ready to mix within the clients home with supervision.
We captured some of the day but as you can see from the end result both dogs were comfortable enough to sleep around each other and remain calm and respectful of one and others space within the house! With consistency these two will be fast friends and I can't wait for the updates 🙌
Buddy the Afghan Hound!!
Now we don't really see many of these beautiful dogs any more but they are really sensitive souls who need plenty of time and patience! Buddy is extremely nervous within the home around any new guests and also on walks if he sees another dog. These dogs are deceptively big and so when he's jumping and lunging his owner is struggling to manage his behavior and so his walks decreased as a result.
I really wanted to open Buddy's world back up and so we worked a lot on social and environmental socialisation and subsequently habituation too! Buddy smashed it and it was like walking with a celebrity too! 😂🙌
Click & Collect
A little glimpse into one of our "click and collect" sessions!
This is where we will pick up your dog and work on any issues you're currently having. These are super convenient for those owners who are struggling to commit to training sessions because they have work commitments, young children, ill health, ect.
We came to work with Bonnie to brush up on her basic training and environmental/ social exposure. Sessions like this will benefit your whole family because your dog will become less demanding as they feel fulfilled due to the surge in their happy hormones! A tired dog is a happy dog 🙌
"Where do you train from?"
We aim to work as publicly as possible and this is to ensure that dogs are encountering real life situations. When you set out on a walk with your dog you don't know what sort of distraction you're going to face or be certain of what reaction your dog is going to have to a new experience.
We are huge advocates for relevant habituation through training to ensure your dog is well socialized to various environmental and social stimuli especially within their local areas. The more you get out and work past normal day to day occurrences the more balanced your dog will become over time. We experienced one of these unexpected distractions during Taytos session and he dealt with the unknown amazingly!!
Another glimpse at our reactivity workshops held almost every Friday and I know it's off topic but this is 100% how Mena speaks in my head 🙈🤣
Also in regards to footwear being mentioned on the video it's just a reminder to please be mindful now the weather is becoming wetter the outdoor sessions will become muddier and so this is your fair warning to get on the welly hype because we do not want to get into trouble for ruining new shoes like last year 🙌🤣
⚠️ Safety Tip ⚠️
It's the norm for owners to see their dogs like this after exercise and run to fill up the water bowl, letting their dogs drink to excess. We need to stop, it's not a healthy practice.
If your dog looks like Nell does in this clip she is not ready for water. If she were to drink a lot whilst still panting heavily like this it would be putting her at risk of bloat which we know can be deadly. The key signs she's not ready are:
🚨Heavy panting
🚨Ears pinned back
🚨Bowl shaped tongue (on the end of the tongue)
🚨 Deep increase and decrease of the dogs diaphragm
Give them a little time to self regulate before offering any fluid, it's so much safer to just wait ten minutes 👍
Welsh Spaniel brothers Taffy and Tarn have been working exceptionally hard with their owner to control their impulsive urge to pull her down the road!
Just look how well they are doing with their loose lead walking after applying new techniques! Take this as your sign to start working on your dog's lead manners! Well done fellas 🙌
Little Gracie
Her owners have been working tirelessly, both independently and with me, to get Gracie to this point of loose lead walking and an off lead heal.
Genuinely couldn't be prouder of Gracie and her owners for their consistency and determination which has gotten them to this point! Amazing work 👏
