Popped in to see this gorgeous boy.

He gets overstimulated very quickly, and likes to bark relentlessly, I’ve worked very hard on calmness with him.

Our little routine is calmness around the lead and harness, door protocol, walking nicely next to me, then we play tuggy.

He then does some scatter feeding followed by some proximity and “dropping” the ball, and more scatter feeding.

We then go back indoors to have cuddles on his bed, before I then leave for him to have snooze.

Bramble practiced her arousal up/down and are you listening, using proximity games and some cued behaviours.

We did start off outside but Bramble is a little delicate when it comes to the rain…so we continued inside! 😂😂

Working together is so important! ♥️

What happens when small local pet businesses who all share a passion for making dogs lives better come together? You get a whole team of people who all want the very best for your pets be that mentally, physically, safely and professionally. When good companies collaborate instead of work in competition it creates a wonderful environment not just for those business owners but for our clients and most importantly your pets. It allows for everyone to feel supported and work together to give your pets the best possible care.
If one person doesn't have the space or has an emergency there are others who can help out. If someone is struggling to fill some slots and someone else has too many enquiries we can make sure that those clients are signposted to other professionals who have the same high standards that you come to expect.
It is so important that you choose the right people to work with your pets as they are part of the family and knowing where to go can be a minefield. Making sure they are fully insured, experienced, qualified, safe and trustworthy.
So we are slowly growing our group of trusted pet professionals and all working in collaboration to make sure all the local pets have some great services 🥰🐾

One of Billy’s favourite things to do is “watching the world go by”

He loves watching the cars, and people walking past, the dustmen excite him
A little and the postman he does bark at as he approaches the door, so I manage this by either a training opportunity, or shutting the curtain and not allowing access to the front door.

This is not for every dog, as some will react to everything that goes past. 🎉🎉🎉

Understanding genetics is important as a breeder. This fun illustration shows why we test multiple siblings in one litter to help us to choose the puppies we move forward with for possible future generations. Even littermates can be quite different genetically

Holly is in training under the PAWS Assistance programme. I’m supporting her & her owner with their training throughout.

Holly has previously attended our 6 week foundation class which has set her in good stead moving forward.

In our recent session we worked on loose lead, leave it, and some cued behaviour.

Holly loves her food so we are having to work at a slower pace to ensure Holly understands that she will receive her reward for staying still for longer.

This little monkey, showed severe behaviour struggles when her owner would move, let alone leave the room.

Millie would scream if her owner moved, she’d pant, pace and get herself in a state if she thought she was being left behind!

Millie has almost completed her 7 week course on separation and has made progress every week.

I received this message, this is huge! Well done guys you have smashed it!

If you need help with separation struggles please get in touch we can help 😊

Rudy is a qualified RAD - assistance dog. His owner came for a training session in Clarks village.

Rudy did very well in the new environment. We did pick up on his anticipation around shop doorways, he thinks he is going into every shop…he is a right little shopper 😂.

This is down to all the work Ellie has done with him around doorways, door manners and making them a positive experience.

A little bit of balance is required that not every doorway means he will be going through!

Below Rudy was practicing staying on his mat with distractions while Ellie wondered away a little.

Rudy and Ellie are a fabulous team. 🥰

Today we talked about calmness and helped these pups stay calm and focused on their owners in a new environment.

Conker is in training for separation anxiety. Her owners manage the situation, by not leaving her unnecessarily, while she’s in training.
I’m lucky enough to have cuddles with her while her owners go out for a little while. This is also in preparation for when they go on holiday.

Little Millie struggles to be left on her own. She has started coming to me one day a week while her owner is implementing our training plan on separation anxiety.

We’ve had some little wins, where her owner is able to leave while she pops upstairs and has been able to start building up the car to also be safe place!

Millie is a whirlwind of energy and doesn’t want to miss out on anything!

I’ve not made training treats for a very long time, so today I made a large batch ready for the behaviour classes starting next week.
My dogs luuuuuurve these, they are high value and full of goodness.

I didn’t weigh veg until after it was cooked and blended which then weighed 1000g, I then halved it. (Sweet potato, carrots, spinach, peas)

For the sticks I used, 500g of the veg, 500g 5% chicken mince, 1 egg. Mix together. I then put it into my tilers gun (jerky gun, is silly price) piped it onto my dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate for 10 hours.

For the training treats
500g veg, 500g 5% mince chicken, 4 eggs, 2 cups of oat flour, tablespoon coconut oil, add water until correct consistency. Mix together spread into moulds microwave 4 mins, pop in oven for 5 mins to dry off.

Billy approves! 😍🥰
