Well not only am I forgetting to take pictures and videos of late , I'm forgetting to post on Social media 🙃
I'm really loving these journeys and seeing all the dogs flourish.
Keep going, you're all strong gaurdians and doing your best 😊 happy Wednesday 😊
Hoopering fun with Luna.
I love this video.
Why? because it demonstrates how much thinking is needed for shaping. Training New things is about fun and Safety. Luna's toy was on a long line to keep Luna engaging with her gaurdian.

Well what can I say, muzzling these two doesn't mean the fun stops! Ice smashed it showing off in front of me as always proving his guardian to be a lier !! Zeus really struggles with his muzzle, will it stop him trying? No it won't short fun sessions will help his confidence. Well done boys, you both achieved something and that's all we can hope for and you both smashed it.
Karen Aspell and Danni Endbsl Murphy very well done ladies, they both did amazing and I know Zeus struggled but we've a plan going forward. 😊 I'm excited to watch them grow and more important advocating of dogs of type 😍
So Lexi the super, did an amazing job of helping Lil's see that not all dog's are scary. Lil's kept telling Lexi to back of with her body language and Lexi being the best girl did as she was asked. all movement towards Lexi was Lil's choice, Lil's gave great language and at times she was comfortable and other Lil's was very unsure. Lexi then had some relaxation with Ted and Trinity afterwards. #dogsofttiktok #backedbybruns #dogshaveemotions #matrixdoguk #giveyourdogchoices #dogshavingfun
Lily, Rocco, Codey and myself took a new adventure. I'm so proud of how they delt with a reactive dog, Rocco did a tiny growl. I'm so proud of him, Codey recalled straight away and Lily didn't yell because she wanted to say hello. I'm so very very proud of them for learning to make the right choices. #matrixdoguk #backbyburns #dogsofttiktok #dogshaveemotionstoo #science #normalizingboringdogwalks
what can I say about Lil's this week has been very busy for her and she needed some decompression. So that's exactly what we did and Lil's Nailed it, we even found her favourite thing in the world a feather 🪶 . fantastic sniffing Lil's. #dogshavingfun #giveyourdogchoices #dogshaveemotions #matrixdoguk #dogsofttiktok #backedbybruns
Ted is learning to shape a Mat, Ted needs to learn to slow down and breathe. nothing beats using his brain to do so. #backedbyburns #matrixdoguk #shaping #dogshaveemotions #giveyourdogchoices #dogshavingfun
The actives ring is one of my favourites, showing people how much fun it is to train your dogs to do other things. #backedbyburns #science #matrixdoguk
Barney is working on recall. Barney is struggling a little with his choices. Barney doesn't want to go inside, he's very smart and he's learning so much. he's only had his adopted family 5 weeks. can anyone guess what Breed of dog Barney is? #backedbybruns #giveyourdogchoices #dogshaveemotions #dogsofttiktok #matrixdoguk
final check up at the Royal veterinary college for Rama. I've been wowed from the start, making a choice in January to have spinal surgery, to find out its worked and Rama has a condition called tethered cord syndrome. it's very rare and incredibly painful. going forward Rama can return to being the happy go lucky boy he is. Enna Tagged along for company. #backedbyburns #dogshavingfun #braquedubourbonnais #dogsofttiktok #matrixdoguk
Enna and I attended a Hoopers workshop yesterday. we had great fun building distance along with Enna trying her hardest to ignore all the smells. Now if you're thinking she missed the first hoop you'd be right! is that a problem? no as in hoopers we carry on, its important to reward forward motion away from us to build the distance. #doghoopers #matrixdoguk #dogshaveemotions #backedbyburns #braquedubourbonnais #dogsoftiktok #dogshavingfun
Lil's walk yesterday started well, Lil's was keen to get going. that was until the hailstones started falling, Lil's was very disappointed in the weather. things got better when Lil's got to do her favourite thing which is Hi-viz watching. #backbyburns #dogsoftiktok #matrixdoguk #science #dogshaveemotions
This is Barney. He's a Harrier hound who's learning loose leading walking so that walks can start to be more enjoyable for both him and his guardian.
Barney is a super star 🌟 and has taken to the training well, showing how working on engaging his brain and thinking about what his guardian is asking of him can have huge benefits.
I always ask guardians and dogs to think about how to focus more on each other and what they need / want to allow for more open communication and much better results. Superstar Barney has proved it works!
A huge well done to Barney and, of course, his brand new adopted family who are starting as they mean to go on and not setting Barney up fail. Well done all, so proud of you!
Loving watching Enna's Skill Develop. I'm very lucky to have such a great Hoopers trainer. Thank you as always Nicky Harrell, we won't talk about how excited Switch was and how she made her own choices which were exactly what Switch wanted to do!
Really enjoyable session Trailing. Well done to Jake who at 12 years old has his first go and he definitely enjoyed himself. Sky who is also 12 is a Pro and showed us all how amazing her nose is. Even when she got stuck in the brambles.
Great Trailing session today. Jake had his first go at 12 years young and was amazing. Sky who also is 12 years young, she most definitely is a pro, really interesting to watch confidence coming into the actual missing person. #matrixdoguk #backedbyburns #doingfunstuffwithdogs
an insight to teaching Khia a heelwork position.
trying to keep in mind it needs to be fun and relaxed to create the best environment. #matrixdoguk #heelworktomusic

I really enjoy Sunday Hoopers sessions. not only do I get to train my own dogs with my helpers, I also get to see some amazing dogs enjoying something new. #backbyburns #matrixdoguk #dogshavefeelingstoo #blackdogsoftiktok #caninehoopersuk #doghoopers #dogsarethebest
