Reactivity session

Another great training session at Woofy’s Dog Field yesterday. We worked on disengagement. Disengagement is one of the top concepts reactive are missing. We play games with our dogs to show them that coming away from something is ok! And by coming away there is more fun to be had with us! Whether you’ve trained with PaddiWags Dog Training before or not, whether you’ve done some training or no training, all are welcome. Our next training session is on Sunday 4th August 10.30am. We will be looking at calmness. Please pop us a message for more details 🐾🐩🐾🦮🐩

Calmness session

Today was our first calmness session at Woofy’s Dog Field. Thank you Claire xx Everyone did so well, I’m proud of each and every one of you 😊 We had some reactive dogs there too who were working and focusing on their owners just beautifully ❤️ Our next one is on Reactivity Sunday 28th July 10.30-11.30am, £15 Pop me a message if you would like to book.

Katherine and Candy have the best partnership. We don’t teach agility but we support and work on specific skills to enable Katherine teach Candy on polishing up her agility skills. “I just want to say a massive thank you for all your patience with us from a pup who a year ago couldn’t even handle training to this now is so unreal and I couldn’t of done it without both of you”

This is Wurzel, I like to describe him as horizontal 😂😂. Wurzel favourite thing to do is chill! Wurzel came to our 6 week foundation course, and it wasn’t until week 6 that we found something that Wurzel liked and we got him moving!! To the majority of people Wurzel is the perfect dog, and for the most part he is. But, he does struggle with disengagement! So the plan for them is to work on the concept of disengagement and to get Wurzel moving.

Lead work

Great lead work with Jax today. I have only ever trained loose lead with a 2 point harness and double ended lead. From this I have then, in some cases, moved to collar and lead, BUT only once they have a reliable loose lead. By using these tools, it gives you flexibility to extend lead, use in one hand, or clipped just to the back or front. Jax is only 6 months old, he is a collie x Labrador. Look at him and his owner working beautifully together. 🐾🐕🦮🐾

Fantastic session with Jax today. disengagement and proximity training, along with putting “sniffing” on command. 🐾🐕🦮

Retrieve

Goose gets very excited when we use an object to retrieve and struggles with the whole process. I’ve broken the behaviours down and start by using food. I start with where I want him to be, so in this case sat nicely by my left side. I then throw food out and on his return I want him in front of me in a sit position. I reward him with a high value reward. Charlie came to join us which I used to my advantage and continued my training with a distraction!

We restarted foundation levels of retrieve today. Part of our Gundog program. No we aren’t traditional gundog trainers we are game based trainers. 😊
