Congratulations to handsome Nevis for successfully completing his training course, including recall skills …… which he absolutely aced! Having a reliable recall is crucial for safety and to be able to responsibly let your dog enjoy freedom in the park, and is one of the key skills A-Grade advocate for our pupils!
At her second training session Luna began to learn the key skill of “leave”, and here she is successfully exercising impulse control while her owner flicks the treat around the floor - great job Luna! ⭐️
SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT ON …… 🎃 👻 Halloween “Trick & Treat” fun trick training! 👻 🎃
With Halloween fast approaching, why not celebrate with our “Trick & Treat” fun trick training course! Teaching your dog tricks is an excellent way to mentally stimulate them, it’s a great bonding experience and can be really good fun for you both to get you through those long, spooky evenings! 👻 🎃
Also, if you feel your training has reached a bit of a stalemate (it happens to us all!), trick training can be just the thing to give your training a boost! 🎃 👻
Before you dismiss teaching your dog tricks as irrelevant or useless, consider the possibility that this training still encourages excellent listening skills, obedience, focus and communication, just in a different way. 👻 🎃
So what are you waiting for?! Let’s get your pups high fiving, spinning, rolling over, stepping up, speaking, washing their face, sitting up nice, shutting the door, ringing a bell and so much more …. ultimately their own mini performance principally for their fun and enjoyment, but also yours! 🎃 👻

Wk3 of training and Daisy aced her puppy recall session, including coming away from a number of distractions! What a tiny star! ⭐️ #followers
At the tender age of 12 weeks old, here is puppy Daisy learning to leave high value treats! A leave cue is so important as it helps your puppy understand what he/she shouldn’t touch or pick up, including items which may be unsafe or dangerous!
At her second training session, Lola learned to “leave” …… chicken!!!! Here she is with Kyle, her 11yr old trainer and both absolutely aced it! Leave is so important to prevent your puppy or dog from picking up inappropriate or dangerous items - one not to be missed! ⭐️
Here is gorgeous puppy Daisy learning recall at her first training session, at the tender age of 10wks old - a wee star! ⭐️
From “serial absconder” to “ACE RECALLER!” - sooo proud of Ludo! This marvellous boy has literally come on leaps and bounds from his owners struggling with his lack of recall, to him developing excellent listening skills and super fast returns! This was Ludo’s first time off lead in a while and although A-Grade instilled the techniques designed to help, credit must also be given to the dedication and ongoing practice of his owners, which have resulted in today’s “freedom” - very happy trainer! 👏🏻 🐾 ❤️ #followers

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT ON ….. WHISTLE RECALL!
Let’s talk whistles! Have you ever tried a whistle to call your dog, and if you have, how successful was it?
Here’s the thing - a whistle, at first, can be an interesting sound to your dog and you may well initially get the attention, and even recall response you’ve been hoping for. However, without reinforcement, any advantage you think you’ve gained may fade away over time as that interesting noise becomes ….. well, valueless!
Here at A-Grade we believe in the importance of a solid recall, and that, properly trained, a whistle can become a crucial tool to call upon, especially in those highly distracting situations where your voice might not cut it! However, the key to an amazing whistle recall is in preparation and training rather than just expectation, so that your dog views a whistle (and by extension, you) as the most amazing sound resulting in a super fast return!
Are you struggling with your puppy or dog’s recall? With positive, kind and force-free techniques, we can help!
So give us a whistle, or drop an email to [email protected] and let’s get started on that journey to a better, more reliable recall!
