And just like that, it is day 24 of our Doggie Advent, and it's time to say goodbye!
Thank you for following us throughout December, and we hope that you have enjoyed our posts!
A huge thank you to Phili at Green Paw Dog Training , Sarah at Barkshire Dog Training, Emma at So Help Me Dog, and Cerys at Blue Lemon Dog Training for the collaboration! Iโm sure it wonโt be the last, and I am excited about what 2025 will bring for us all.
Thank you to the wonderful humans and their dogs for choosing to work with us, and I canโt wait to see everyone in the New Year.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and I hope that 2025 brings joy to you all and your doggies.
Ali & Nigel

Day 3 - A shelter visit and 1-1 time with the dogs.
Today was a complete change in tempo. It was definitely a better day emotionally. Seeing how clean and wonderfully looked after each and every dog was here. It was a tonic ๐ฅฐ
We each got to work with a small amount of dogs 1-1. we didnโt have lots of time which was a shame because I think it was such a great experience I could have hung around all day.
Again, so many dogs available for adoption. Itโs would be wonderful if rescues could collaborate but it just doesnโt seem to be a โthingโ.
I hope that things do improve with rescue, and I hope that more education can be pushed out to people. If you know, you know!
I am a sucker for any of the dogs and they donโt have to be any kind of breed or size, though the bigger the better ๐๐ฅฐ However, there is always that one, who you canโt stop thinking about. That one (or two) that sit in your mind for however long.
Today, for me it was Simba. He has been waiting a whileโฆ I canโt see why because heโs such a beautiful boy! It would be really great if you could give these two rescues a follow @super_dogs_rescue and @woofprojecteu . The work they do is awesome and Iโm all for collaborating and sharing ๐โค๏ธ
Happiest of pups ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ๐
How are legends made? By using kind, force free, reward based methods when training, along with consistency and perseverance! THAT is how legends are made ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ๐๐ผ

nothing better than hurtling through the water and continuing work on that beautiful recall.

Itโs still super wet so we tucked up the lead so it didnโt trail
