How striking is Roo??? She is a beaut!!
She gets overly excited easily and uses her teeth a little too much when giddy, so we are doing lots of work to help keep her calm, enriched and well rested.
Looking forward to having you in class Roo!

As part of our ongoing training with Darna we are introducing unfamiliar dogs.
Darna is moving into adolescence, so socialisation needs to be sensitive, but also tailored to the breed. Caucasian Shepherds are smart, independent, protective, assertive and can be reserved. In this session she worked with Dennis our Cane Corso ambassador who was a true gent! She also worked with Gus the English Pointer, again a gentleman who put no pressure on her, and Bonnie Golden Retriever, who is gentle and calm.
Great session with wonderful observations 🥰

Another gorgeous face - look at those eyes!!
Charlie loves water... A bit too much! So we are working at feeding his need in a safer way and also training him when enough is enough.

Look at that face!! I promise that Buddy did enjoy his training session 🤭🥰

For all of the Harvey fans out there ( I am his biggest fan!!)
Here he is! Mr Super Social learning that he can walk more calmly around people and distractions.
Here we had lots of passerby pedestrians, a road crossing and people playing football.

I haven't seen this ball since December 2024.
It's Twist's.
I used to hide it for him to find every day.
We came back from holiday and this ball was sat in the middle of a freshly cut path on Twist's field.
The field is locked all of the time.
It stopped us both in our tracks.
How? 🌈🥹

Pretty Poppy does a great job helping people to feel comfortable and relax in her role as a therapy dog, however she worries about unfamiliar dogs approaching, so we are working together to help her feel more relaxed and to enjoy her walks more.

Lovely Bucky 🥰
Pulling on the lead can actually be an indicator for something else.
In Bucky's case it's all about sound. The types of sound and volume of those sounds can panic him, resulting in him pulling to get home.
So we are working on helping him cope better.

Beautiful Maia, we are working hard on helping her sound sensitivity - it's challenging when your dog is worried about everyday noises!
But with care and time progress happens.
When we first met, Maia was quite worried about being around me and would bark at me.
To have a walk with Maia and her Mum, to sit in the grass and take in the world together, and for her to come to me for a cuddle made my day!! 🥰
