Thursday was an awesome day of walk and trains, look at Rolo doing smashing on his lead walking! He also gets very emotional around other dogs when he is on lead and looses his 💩, so we are working on it! 🥰 he did so well that we stopped the butchers and got him some ham! As I forgot some treats 🥰 #dogs #chocolatelabrador #dogtrainer
Doing something with your dog that makes them feel good in the company of other dogs is so beneficial! Little Pepper was able to offer these 4 behaviours whilst other dogs were walking around, which meant that she didn’t have to shout at them. 🥰 #supersmart #dog #help #dogtrainer

You’ve all seen Stella before on my Facebook feed! But yesterday was particularly special, we hung out for the last time on our walk and train sessions.
As we always did we went to the park and played, she disengaged from her environment loads! She didn’t react to the birds, she didn’t bark at a single person, she shook off when I cued her too, she played lovely and even walked past two dogs who where about 5 foot away!
The other dogs in the distance she didn’t care about and just had a fab walk!
Now she isn’t perfect YET, but I have faith in her owner to carry on her journey, to help build those building blocks and to achieve great things.
You see, all dogs have a threshold (like we do) all dogs have different ways of coping (like we do) we have to watch, explore, figure it out and most of all have time, patience and give the dogs confidence in us to keep them ‘safe’ from the perceived threat!
GO STELLA!! 🧡

Stella!!! 🧡 isn’t she just 🥰 another of today’s walk and train cuties. The thing about Stella is she has BIG emotions! Now, in the last few weeks she has learnt that we don’t shout at people 👍, that she can trust who’s handling her to keep her safe 👍, that she can shake off and recover from a trigger 👍, that she can be in the company of other dogs and not go 🦇💩 crazy, especially if they have a ball. We can sit and enjoy the sunshine with dogs around (yes at a distance) but we don’t need to SCREAM! ☺️ she’s coming to the end of her time working with me, she has been a real pleasure to help and her owner I know will do amazing!! #helpingyou #goodgirlalways #Stella #labrador #welldone
Mini beater in the making! ❤️

😍 Give me your best GIF in the comments to describe your dog's name. 😍
Let's see if we can guess what it is!
If you've been following me, you may already know one of my dog's name. 😉
But in case you don't, I'll kick things off with mine...

It is a little snowy out there
Today is a right off!
An impromptu snow day. This morning I had to go to the yard to sort the horses as the lovely Kate couldn't get out for the snow (Thank God for the D Max)
James has to use the D Max later for work so I would have been in the van, which has the worst history for getting stuck whenever there is a hint of slippery weather. And I didn't want to have to pick Grace up in the van when it started to freeze. So there we have it a snow day!
Whilst I was at the yard I had a text from EE saying there was an issue with signal, so I couldn't send messages easily due to no signal.
I also had a few clients who where concerned about the travelling (which is totally understandable!)
But typical as the British weather is it is starting to thaw out!
Well, that just means one thing, a day at the computer!

Here is the draw for the hamper. Every client throughout December got a raffle ticket and that went into the dog bowl!
The lucky winner is Karen with Cookie. Well done!!! 👍
The reason I laughed was because they won the 12 days of Christmas raffle today too!! Lucky streak.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ME (Helen) and ELLIE (the Christmas tree)
