Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is..
❌ New socks 🧦
❌ Too much chocolate 🍫
✅ A dog who actually gets fulfilled this year 🐕

Christmas shopping for a dog person is easy. Our e-gift vouchers are now live with ready made amounts that match our most popular dog sports, including private and group mantrailing, Barn Hunt and GRC sessions. You can also choose your own amount if you want to go bigger.

Add a heartfelt message, schedule it to arrive on Christmas Day and secure your spot as someone’s favourite this Christmas.

Get them a gift their dog will actually thank you for. 🎄

PS.. When purchasing the calendar appears white for the entire month you’re on - I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change it, but you can select 25th Dec (or any other date) as a delivery date!

PPS.. How cute was Obie as a pup?!

Shifting baselines are annoying!

You don’t always notice how much your dog has changed because you’re living it day to day. The impossible becomes normal, the stressful becomes routine. You forget what the starting point looked like.

Then, when we or our dogs make a mistake, we compare that moment to yesterday instead of from where we started, and we start to lose touch with how much progress we've really made.

Working with our dogs isn’t about chasing perfection, we all make mistakes, but it’s important to remember how far you've comd. Notice the small wins, celebrate the good choices and the things you no longer have to think about because they're not a problem any more.

If you want to start changing your baseline, wherever you and your dog are starting from, drop us a message. All I want is for people to have as much fun with their dogs as I do, and I'll help make sure you keep seeing those wins add up.

What's the difference between Possession and Resource Guarding?

Possession is a natural behaviour - it's normal to want to keep what you have. Resource Guarding is Possession taken to the extreme - it's an unnatural over-reaction relative to the social context. Social animals (like dogs) that can't share don't tend to last long.

Ophelia can be quite a possessive dog, and she can be especially vocal when she plays, which can be intimidating if you don't know what you're listening to.

Games like tug are brilliant for keeping the possessiveness from spilling into resource guarding. Playing tug is a cooperative game, we share who "wins" and who "loses", we practice the idea that letting go of something doesn't mean losing it and we can get some really effective, really valuable training in, all whilst, "...just playing a game..."
