Hey everyone,
Please read this if you have any rearranged or upcoming sessions.

I know that I have been absent on social media for a while, but I promise you that we are still up and running. The issue is that technology has not been my friend over the last several months.

My work phone that had all my conversations with you all randomly broke. This meant that all details of upcoming or rearranged sessions had been lost. I do have a new phone, but as nothing was saved to the sim I’m at a loss!

My website was down for a while but is now back up and running. I am making some changes to it throughout the next few months, so don’t panic if it goes down again at some point.

My emails aren’t sending or receiving properly - this has been an ongoing issue that is being looked into, but please please please don’t think that I am ignorant… It probably hasn’t hit my inbox!

To top it all off, I decided to move into a big renovation project so I had no wifi or even electricity for a while 😂

If you have been waiting to hear back from me regarding something important, please drop me a text at 07725749281. I prefer a text over a voicemail as I can see who it is and what it is regarding so I can get everything sorted sooner for you.

I am sorry to anyone who has been affected by this, but hopefully, it will all get sorted out soon.

FUN FACT FRIDAY 🤗

Your dog has 300 million olfactory recpetors compared to our measly 6 million and they can smell 100,000 times better than we can!

Their sense of smell is so powerful that they could detect half a teaspoon of sugar in an Olympic sized swimming pool! 🏊‍♂️

So next time your dog is sniffing on the floor, have a little think about what amazing things they are taking in!

21/09/2023

Are you weighing up if it is worth booking onto our Mixed Ability Gun Dog Workshops? 🤔

Well here are just a handful of reasons why we think you should!

🐾 It's in their DNA! 🧬

if your dog is chasing birds and squirrels or is always pulling on the lead with their head sniffing the floor all day, then you NEED to come to these workshops. When we don't give our dogs the opportunities to do what they were bred to do, then the chances are that the environment will offer it for them. The issue with this is that you become irrelevant around distractions, which is no good for our recall or loose lead! Why work against their nature when you can work wth it?

🐾It increases their general obedience

This point follows so nicely from the above; we need to work with our dog's nature if we want to motivate them in any way. The best thing about our workshops is that they are mixed ability, so we are able to move you and your dog on at their own pace!

🐾It increases ✨confidence✨

This goes for you and your dog. At Loyal Hounds we pride ourselves on giving owners the ability to train their dogs confidently! BEcause your dog is doing something that they LOVE, they will be gleaming with confidence too!

🐾It provides mental enrichment! 👃

Sure, a lickimat and a snuffle mat provide some enrichment, but with gun dog we are using your dog's brains and impulse to the max with hunting (food and toys) and retrieving! They will be EXHAUSTED!!

🐾and finally... because it is FUN! 🥳

We want both you and your dog to have the best time when you are with us! your dog will be having the time of their lives and you will be grinning ear to ear watching them!

All details on the course can be found here: https://www.loyalhounds.co.uk/workshops/gun-dog-foundation-workshop/

If you have never attended a class before, or you need to work on your basic skills first, then please book the following workshop instead:

See you soon 🐶

Spending a night and a day in the Lake District for a little R&R. Wilson certainly isn’t complaining!

Emails, invoices and messages will be done on Tuesday

Just a little reminder that me and Wilson are away this week for a Gun Dog Teachers training course, so there will be no classes or one to ones until Friday evening. We are very very busy, so I will get back to all messages, calls and emails once I am back. Please do leave a voicemail rather than ringing multiple times so that I know who I am calling what to call you back for ☺️

See you soon,
Lauren

A few weeks ago I had some one on one time with my own little man to practice our Gun Dog skills

We are going through a really useful drill for our stop whistles from a distance.

Wilson, like a lot of dogs, tends to creep when I ask him to stop and this little drill has changed that!

Our mixed ability gun dog class runs on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm with a few Saturday spots at 11:15 am. Suitable for all levels including beginners

17/04/2023

This is the face of a dog that is trying its very hardest not to jump up at the camera 😂😂

This handsome man is Otis the (gigantic) Whippet. I CANNOT wait to get started on our recall training with this dude 😎

16/04/2023

Look at Jax and Ronnie smashing their food manners homework 👏👏

It is so important to teach your dog not to touch food that you have dropped on the floor as a lot of our human food can be toxic for dogs and so it can be dangerous if they ingest it

Food manners and impulse control is covered in our silver award classes that run on a Wednesday evening at 7:30pm!

14/04/2023

The week before Easter our latest bunch of Little Hounds graduated from their 6 week puppy class

What Fabulous little bunch to teach. Thank you guys for a brilliant 6 weeks!

I look forward to seeing you all again at some point!

21/03/2023

We have a BRAND NEW mixed abilities Scent class!

This is beginner friendly as we have an induction week every 8 weeks where you can learn the basics of either scent detection or scent tracking, from there you book onto the weeks that you can make throughout the year!

We will be running on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 -7:30pm starting from April

Scent work is an amazing hobby for you and your dog and the benefits are endless! Here are just a few:

🐶 Sniffing is naturally calming for dogs; it produced seratonin and dopamine (feel good hormones) and reduces the heart rate, so it's perfect for anxious dogs!

🐶 10 mins of sniffing is like our dogs going for a 1hr jog!

🐶 It's a great way to build a bond between you and your dog!

20/03/2023

Clearly Humphrey was overjoyed to have passed his UKSD Bronze Scent Detection, or maybe it was because he found all 10 hides in just over 3mins on his test!
Either way, that smile is to die for!

18/03/2023

Take a look at our most recent Gun Dog foundation graduates! 🎓

What a joy these guys were to teach! I had so much fun teaching this group (cuddles with the dogs always help!)

Can't wait to see you all progress with your skills in our mixed ability gundog class!

18/03/2023

Big round of applause to our UKSD Silver Scent Detection graduates! 👏

The dogs absolutely smashed their Silver Scent Detection test! Can’t wait to see you again soon, you’ve all been an absolute pleasure as always!

Here is Jenna and her dog Heidi running a course in our Hoopers club! They have both come so far since they started our beginner's hooper course and I'm excited to see where we can get to! If you were interested in learning more about Hoopers, head to our website or give me a call on 07725749281 https://www.loyalhounds.co.uk/hoopers/

Evan and Fox Red Lab Bruno had their first Scent tracking one to one the other day! Safe to say Bruno is smashing it! This is only his second ever track and it is everything we want to start seeing!

A little reminder from Wilson and I that you can train your dog everyday on your walks! You don’t have to spend hours training your dog, just a few reps here and there can make a massive difference! We took our Tug-E-Nuff toys to Brabyns park this morning and work on our impulse control, recalling from distractions, emergency stops and send arounds.

Absolutely love this demonstration of off lead training from Pablo and his mum Ximena in our Silver group! This exercise not only helps with loose lead walking, but keeping our dog with you when they are off lead too! Keep up the great work guys, you are smashing it! 👏#dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainers

Little Holly Showing Off Her Emergency Stop

Keep sending in the videos guys, we love them! You should be proud of everything you and your dogs achieve together. Here's one of our little training stars Holly, showing how well she is doing at home. From being a little bundle of energy that wanted nothing more than to wiggle her little bum over to each and every person in the class - to this, is an amazing success! She's still as affectionate and loving, but her focus and responsiveness to cues has only gone from strength-to-strength! Really well done to Dawn & Holly! Keep it up
