Another 5star review. Thank you thank you.

The crafty chronicles - ep1 - retrieve grid work stuff.

I saved all my 2024 luck up for the last hour and I won a bloody drone!

Perfect timing for the YouTube stuff!

So extra extra stuff to get used to, but fingers crossed it helps me look super professional!

Whilst getting used to the drone I did some retrieve grid work stuff with Wilson and Tilly.

So take a look at our first foray into the YouTube world.

First things first, I want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you! If you are reading this, it means you have paid some kind of attention to the crafty canine and that means a great deal!

I get to work with/ along side/ for some of the best dog owners going. Like minded people who want to do more with their dogs, do more for their dogs.

As always the crafty canine is growing, I have and will always continue to develop myself to be a better owner and trainer. I will be starting a video series in the new year, ‘the crafty chronicles’ documenting training with my two. Also building a back catalog of reference videos for you guys to learn from. So bear with me, I will be learning the video side as I go!

The name The Crafty Canine was just as much a play on words as it was a reference to how hilariously crafty our four legged friends can be. But now the proud owner of a sewing machine I am bringing a whole new meaning to the crafty canine! Leads, toys and who knows what else will all be manufactured in house to the highest quality.

I have just run out of thread, just as I have opened my first beer of the evening. Perfect timing.

I’m not really sure where I’m going with all this, but you’re supposed to do a year review post and I guess this is mine.

Lots to look forward to in 2025!

Dogs have a much stronger and more refined sense of smell than their human companions—10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than humans’ sense of smell, depending on the dog breed.

Just as human fingerprints are unique to each person, the intricate pattern of ridges and creases on your dog’s nose makes for a distinctive nose print.

This unique feature was so reliable that from 1938 to 1992, the Canadian Kennel Club used nose prints as a way to identify purebred dogs. Imagine a world where your pup’s nose print was their ID card!

Research shows that a dog’s nose print pattern is set by the age of two months and stays the same throughout their life.

This fascinating fact has inspired modern technology, leading to the development of apps like Anipuppy, NoselD, and SmartSnout.

These apps use nose print recognition to help identify dogs, making it easier to reunite lost pets with their owners.
