Hi,
I am going to have to cancel tonight's puppy class due to the heat :( I was hoping it would cool down (even though every time I cancel the weather cools by at least 10 degrees!! 🙄)
I am at the end of the phone for any questions you may have and if not fingers crossed for next week xx

Hi,
I've decided to cancel puppy class this evening due to the temperature 😞 I would rather be safe than sorry, even though when the breeze comes along it's OK but then it passes and I feel like it's too hot again.
I can only apologise and will hopefully see you all next week 💙🐾

This little lady has joined our much loved dogs over rainbow bridge today 🌈
Kimba has been joining our walks for the last 4 years after her lovely parents rescued her and gave her the best years of her life!
She started off a little unsure around other dogs due to being locked away most of her life but soon grew to be the biggest cougar of all groups!
Despite being an older girl there were many times she amazed us with her speed and endurance, especially on one walk where we came across a handful of deer on our path, the other dogs didn't notice and came back to us, Kimba thought about coming back but then decided bolting around the fields chasing them for an hour was the better option 🙈🙈🙈🙈
We will all miss her 💔💔💔💔

⚠️distressing video⚠️
A lot of people want quick results, some 'trainers' will use these methods from the off set and a lot of people are amazed at how quickly the dog 'behaves', which is what a lot of people are happy to do if it means they get the results they want quickly with minimum effort.
This man seems to think he is a wizard and able to communicate to the dog through electric currents!
What's actually happened the dog has shut down through fear of pain, it has not been trained, the unwanted behaviour hasn't been corrected just suppressed and it will show itself in other ways such as signs of stress in the dog or in another behaviour.
What should happen in this situation is the people in this video should be communicated to through electricity if they ever think of going in the vicinity of any dog ever again!!!!
PUPPY CLASSES are starting again next Tuesday 23rd April!
Follow the link if you would like to book onto any classes 💙🐾

Storm update 🌪💙🐾
She is now able to go on big girl walks, which she is acing!
She has a love (knows they mean treats) for the scales at the vets and has learnt to step on and off them, repeatedly 😆
She has been practising food manners, loose leash walking, paw (mishas favourite), down and toilet training is a working progress as she's scared if going out in the dark!
She is also forming a bond with Lady, something we have been working on 💙
We also now have Misha home with us, inside a bear for the boys to cuddle when they miss her, she will always be our Queen and sorely missed 💔

Boggle sharing his gratitude for his walk today 💙🐾
This little chap was petrified of the seasaw for a long time and he has overcome his fear and is now breezing it!
It has taken time, which is how training works....... put the effort in, have patience, be consistent, understand what your dogs body language is telling you 🐾💙
One of the obedience sessions working on being able to walk past dogs keeping focus, it would be fair to say most of these dogs are reactive on walks, so they all did amazingly!! Even the 4 month old Tamaskan (nearest to the camera) smashed it 💙🐾
'Sorry I am late, the traffic was quackers!'............😆😆
It was the little man's birthday today and he came for a walk with his birthday bandanna 💙🐾 super cute 😍😍😍
Stand training!!
It's very important to teach your dog the stand position, you never know when your dog will NEED to know it.....
Referring back to my previous post about dogs trying to get me sacked...........here we have Milo 🙈🙈
Lots of happy dogs 🐾💙

What's his plan 🤔
Today Loki decided that either Quinn really needed a bath or that he had had enough and was trying to drown her 🤣🤣🐾💙
(No dogs were harmed)
My love of Dogs has taken me on many adventures I never thought Dogs and especially myself would ever be capable of doing, seeing what these incredible animals can do fuelled my passion for Dogs even more and since leaving the forces in 2017 I want to share my experiences and knowledge with others.
I grew up with Dogs and from a young age always volunteered myself to look after and walk other peoples Dogs, this extended to horses where I eventually trained and instructed on a basic level. I currently have two pet Dogs, Misha, Northern Inuit aka gentle giant and Dilly, Sprocker, my retired RAF weapons and explosive search dog.
My career in the Royal Air Force started in 2008, after travelling around Australia and not wanting to return to my job as a trainee Pharmacy Technician I decided to apply for the forces where I was accepted and completed all my training, in 2009 I became RAF Military Police. Following on from this I naturally progressed onto becoming a Military Police Dog Handler, completing my Patrol Dog Handler and Baiters course.
My first posting was at RAF Benson and I was handed my first ever Military Working Dog Rocco, he was a lovely experienced German Shepherd who showed me the ropes! Initially my role as a Police Dog Handler was to train and work Patrol Dogs mainly German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. I thoroughly enjoyed this role and loved all the training and working aspects of the job, I learnt a lot about the personalities and capabilities of the breeds and how to train and work them effectively. Our main duty was to patrol the bases, protect the aircraft and apprehend any intruders during hours of darkness, I can honestly say I defiantly wouldn't have felt safe doing this without my rifle and ‘land shark’ at the end of the lead!
In 2012 I was informed I was to be sent on tour to Afghanistan as a Weapons and Explosives Vehicle Search Dog Handler. This meant I needed to complete my Search Dog Course, this is where I met the man of my life Dilly. Dilly was a hard dog to handle for a junior search handler as he was so willing to please he would often be too quick and miss the target scents. We both worked very hard getting him to the point he could pass his search licence and be worked in the ‘real world’!
Sep 2012 we were sent to Afghanistan along with my second search dog Ceta. We ended up on the frontline mainly with the Danish Infantry completing numerous patrols in a number of locations.
The dogs never failed to amaze me with how brilliantly they adapted to the life they were now experiencing. Dilly's first time in a Chinook he lay along the other passengers legs and chilled out as if it was second nature to him. I can safely say Dilly got me through my tour with his clown like character, his ‘I love you mummy’ eyes and amazing ability and willingness to work!
I do not miss my life in the forces, I miss colleagues and of course the dogs, this is why I decided to set up my business to walk and train dogs so I can learn more and meet more amazing dogs!
