Pupppppiiiieeeessss
So much cute at this week's Puppy Pop In, sniffing together, foraging together, interaction with novel objects is fun, safe socialisation.
We had Doberman pup Stella join us this week... no photos of her because she was shy! So we don't force interaction, she gets to sit back, watch, listen, smell and most importantly feel safe. Mission was successful and I had a lovely cuddle with her ❤️

Can you guess the breed??? Nicola Barton you aren't allowed for play 😜

Beautiful Josh, through no fault of his own, and via traumatic circumstances Josh is in his third home.
But I think this is his forever home.
This is his third session and the first time he has been still enough to take a photo of him.
His family are working so hard and I feel like we have made a big breakthrough!

Big lad Indy! A sweet, smart dog in a big body with a very full on giddy attitude.
I am the 4th trainer for this boy, I am really hopeful and optimistic that I can help make the biggest difference in his life.

Walter is making steady progress. He has had a detox week, he has learned new skills and is ready for more.
So this week we added more new skills and started desensitisation and counter conditioning, and managed to get out of his garden gate for an enjoyable sniff, wee, scratchy paws in the grass and some playing together 🥰

Our Puppy Pop In was great!! We had enrichment fun, safe socialisation, a little bit of training and discussed how to deal with mouthing and chewing 🥰

Sweet Orla ❤️
She has been struggling to cope with the approach of unfamiliar dogs and can over react when under pressure.
Signing her off at the end of her package with a lovely walk, observing dogs, following dogs and seeing her appear relaxed and calm.
Well done Team Orla 🥰

I love these pictures. Our Monday night dogs, all walking calmly together.
We started in pairs and then I realised that, by the end, we had a big group of dogs all just walking and chilling together.
Working on loose lead walking, good manners around people and dogs, focus on owners.
It doesn't look like a big deal, but actually this is a huge challenge for most dogs!
I am proud of these guys!

WagFit fun yesterday ☺️

Chester has improved in his compulsive issue of light and shadow chasing indoors, making progress well. Now we are working on the same issue but in his garden ☺️

Big thank you to Chris and Sandra for inviting me to come along to the grand opening of My Dog Woodland, and cut the ribbon with Isla 😉
It's a beautiful, safe, peaceful place to walk your dog, completely secure with no worries about recall, fearful or anxious dogs.
I love My Dog Meadow , the Barn and now the Woodland, I use them with my dog and highly recommended them for clients and friends 🌲🐶🌲🐶

CPD this morning, completing training on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion...
Not all of the training that I do is canine related... It's about people too 🥰🌈💪🦾🧑‍🦳♀️♂️

More collie goodness! Beautiful Gwen has struggled with recall and serious chase of wildlife. She lives all the way down in Dorset, but Zoom and WhatsApp videos make for great communication and good training 💪

Patch is making great progress with traveling in the car comfortably and quietly. So now we are working on his ability to cope around traffic while he is walking.

Our newest Hoopers recruits working beautifully in our new arena 😊

03/08/2024

We have completed our first week at our new training venue. A big change after almost 10 years at our previous location.
The dogs have coped so well with a new place, and no one got lost trying to find it!
Thanks a million to Carole for bringing a bottle of fizz to celebrate, it's been a tricky year to run a small business and support like this is golden.
Thanks everyone 🥰🥂

Another great, secure place to exercise your dog, coming from Chris at My Dog Meadow 😊

Summer evening training 🌞

Teeny, tiny Walter 🥰
Walter is very worried about the world, especially other dogs. So we are making a start with building confidence even before we step out of the gate.

01/08/2024

It's been too hot for agility and Hoopers this week, so we have used class time wisely, getting our dogs used to the new environment 🥰

Teamwork 🥰

✨ Elsie - Rose ✨
Another new face for you to meet. Elsie can be very frightened of the world, to help her I work with .pay at Standish Dog Trainer. Jo creates the training plan for her behavioural work, then I support Elsie's humans with the training that needs to be done. It takes a village and Elsie definitely has one!

Gorgeous Bobby, he is learning that being around people and having a cool drink in a cafe is actually safe and enjoyable 🥰🌞
