That’s my first few weeks with Aslan and he’s come on so much especially with his loose lead walking and excitement around dogs! We’ve gone from Aslan seeing a dog in the distance and laying down not wanting to move until the dog got closer and he lunged to try and play. To walking by calmly with a look over and that’s exactly what I’m looking for! Aslan is a strong lad and weighs nearly the same as me so it was becoming quite a problem for his owner. We have helped Aslan to handle his emotions around dogs, keep the arousal low and to help stop any frustration build up too! Aslan has been taught that not every dog wants to play and he’s happy to look and keep walking by. Such a great little boy 🥰
We popped into Jollyes Skegness - The Pet People to say hello to the girls and saw these cute licki mats. The dogs don’t care what colour they are but we loved them 🤣. Hammy decompressing after Sundays session with his enrichment 🥰
A fun little session with some youngsters with games, getting that competitive side going 🤭 it’s all about making the training interesting 🫶
Our dogs are doing the best they can with the education we have given them, in the environment we’ve asked them to perform in.
Skye, outdoors offering amazing focus right next to woodlands with lots of birds around. As much as this is really hard for her, our bond grows everyday (outside) to make it that little bit easier for her ❤️
Training walks 💃 this is the first I’ve offered this service. Normally I encourage owners to join me as it’s important the bond is built with them and not me, however!! Aslans mum got an amazing opportunity to work over in Goa! So my next 3 months will be working with this boy multiple times a week to keep that training in while he’s going through adolescence too, mum will have a lot of catching up to do when she returns but I’ve no doubt they’ll be on it quickly. He’s such an amazing boy, worked on loose lead walking this morning as well as building confidence with buses 🚌
What a lovely group my youngsters are. Helping them to build confidence, explore with their senses and adding in that enrichment while doing it. A huge shout out to Nova (black Lab) who came to us very nervous, didn’t want to work or leave her bed nor could I really get close to her either. Of course, using patience and positive reinforcement to create better emotions for her. Now she’s full of confidence, exploring everyone, everything, playing and working AMAZING! I’ll say it again, have patience, give dogs the time and understanding while adding positive reinforcement to their life’s. Never experience anything bad and your dogs will work and trust you so much better! You guys are amazing 🫶

Bang bang! 💥
Skye demonstrating her play dead trick. Can you teach this trick? Give it a try! Having a down on cue first to then progress into “half a roll” we want the dogs to lay flat on their sides as in the video and cue this position for the reward.
Our cue for this trick is “flat”, happy training!
💥News Alert!!💥
Can finally show the new venue opening up in great steeping purposely built for dog training! I’m joining forces with Debbie from ICC Dog Training Spilsby where I can expand my classes further afield but I’m particularly excited to work with Debbie and gain more knowledge and experience from a well respected trainer who already is pushing me to become bigger and better. I’m really excited for the future and I’ve got some new classes coming! Here’s a little glimpse of my Puppy classes (sorry if I’ve missed you!)
I just want to thank all my clients for persevering with us in class during what can only be described as a hectic time in our lives. We already are quite busy people but more so recently with added appointments with my eldest dog Ruby as she recovers from surgery. Hydro, laser and vet appointments have been very regular at the moment so my mind has been focusing a lot on her, these dogs are literally my world and I do my best to provide them with the best too. And we also enter show season with Lucy’s art business too! But you’re all doing amazing and I’m so happy with each and every one of your progress, you guys really prove what putting the work in does! Can we also appreciate my boy being 3 today!! He’s a sensitive soul that has so much love to offer but at the same time is whirlwind 🤣 but he’s our whirlwind 💙
It’s was lovely meeting all the new puppies and owners for the start of our puppy course tonight and we finished off with dog club throwing some moves 💃
