Had great fun with this group tonight as we practiced lots of steadiness (with distraction) exercises and RECALLS through dogs going round an Agility Course!!!

A big SHOUT OUT to these 4 amazing dogs who after completing my 4 week Initial Scent Detection Course, all passed their final assessments with flying colours.
In a ‘live environment’ with numerous distraction scents and objects scattered around, all found a micropipette drop of the 4 target odours they had been trained to find and indicate on!
Not in training tins - real world fun searching!!

⚠️ Be aware of blue-green algae ⚠️
With the hot, sunny weather fast approaching, it's possible for your local streams, lakes, rivers, estuaries and sea to be contaminated with blue-green algae.

Many blue-green algae contain, or make, a number of different toxins. These toxins are often harmful to dogs, and can even be deadly. Dogs are most commonly exposed when swimming, playing in, or drinking from contaminated water. Dogs may lick the contaminated water from their fur and can be poisoned this way.

If you come across a body of water that you think may contain blue-green algae, do not go in it yourself, or let your dog swim in it or drink from it.

Save and share this post to spread the message to other dog-lovers.

Grass seed warning ⚠️🌱

Do you know the dangers that grass seeds can cause? Their tiny arrowheads attach onto dogs - particularly breeds with longer fur. They can pe*****te their way into the skin, causing harmful injuries that could potentially require surgery.

Always check your dog's fur thoroughly after woodland walks or running through meadows. Monitor their behaviour by keeping an eye out for the warning signs of grass seeds - this could be head shaking, limping, coughing, sneezing, paw licking and lethargy.

If you spot a grass seed, gently remove it with your hands or tweezers - if its burrowed deeper (sometimes you may not even see it!), take your dog to the vet immediately.

Scent Detection Training -
I’ve got some amazingly talented dogs who come to do Scent training with me.
I set them a challenge whilst I conducted some inside searches this afternoon, of searching a 150 meter fence line in a field for a ‘hide’.
This ‘hide’ was a tiny drop of blood on the inside of a dandelion flower!!!
They found it and ‘indicated’ beautifully 👏⭐️👏⭐️👏

A blast from the past that still makes me 😂 now! This is my son when he was younger trying to take a Kong from our GSD Falco. We did tell him to say LEAVE!!! But no!!! !!!

Clip from one of my Obedience sessions this week. Exercise to develop focus and communication . All dogs are at different stages of their learning journeys but all did really well. One even initially came to me with dog aggression issues so 👏👏👏
