⛱️ OUT OF OFFICE ⛱️
Hi everyone 👋 We’re away on holiday now until Friday 14th June, so I’ll reply to all messages and enquiries when I’m back working on Monday 17th ☀️
Please keep sending your updates whilst I’m away, I love seeing all your training successes!!
In our Advanced Pathway classes we’ve been practicing some impulse control 🐶
Both Isla and Finn were in a ‘stay’ or ‘wait’ position whilst Cormac walked through the middle to add a distraction!
Our Intermediates at Pen*stone showing us one way of increasing distractions and difficulty when practicing loose lead walking in a group environment 🦮
Paddy showing us how it’s done with some cracking loose lead walking in class 🥰 we’ll build this up further by adding distractions, people and other dogs 🐕 to make a more ‘real life’ situation!
To celebrate National Puppy Day (for yesterday), I've tried to put a video together of all the puppies we've met since March 2023! It turned out to be quite a big job, I really didn't think we'd met so many of you and helped you all on your journeys 🐾
(sorry if your pup hasn't been included, I forget to take pictures all the time!)
A full Beginner Pathway class at Pen*stone means we’ll work on our impulse control around distractions 🐕
Rudi, Georgie, Rosie, Ella, Dora and Woody all doing a fabulous job building up the 3 D’s of impulse control 🥰
We’ve recently been working on outdoor environments on our Hellaby Intermediate Pathway 🐾
Luna and Sonny did a great job of walking and recalling around distractions 🦮
We've been working on our impulse control on our Pen*stone Intermediate Pathway 🐕
Some absolutely brilliant wait recalls around distractions from last week's class 😍 especially the last clip where Cormac had to really use his brain 😁
✨ Our boy Fudge ✨
Fudge had a home 121 session recently to iron out some overexcitability that his pawrents just hadn’t made progress with. One of the first exercises we looked at was Fudge’s ‘bed’ cue - as a solid foundation from which other behaviours can follow.
I received this video from Fudge’s mum just 1 hour after our training session 😁 such a clever boy 🥰
One from our Intermediate Pathway 🤩
A ‘wait’ is great for impulse control, to enable your dog to think about their surroundings before acting on the behavioural impulse!
Well done Murphy & Tucker 💙
🦮 Recall around distractions 🐾
All 5 puppies did brilliantly in such a distracting environment 🥰
5 out of 5 individual recalls also! Well done pups ❤️💙
We’re celebrating today! 🎉🥳 it’s our 1 year anniversary 🍾🎁🎂
Thank you soooo much to my lovely clients and supporters! I really wouldn’t be here today without you all 🥰 here’s a slideshow of many of the amazing dogs I’ve worked with over the last 12 months
They say the first year self-employed is the hardest - I’ve loved absolutely every minute so I can’t wait for the next year! 🥂
We had a lovely update from Jasper & Nyla’s pawrents recently to let us know just how well they’re doing with their training!
As you might remember, we did a 1-2-1 session with Jasper a few weeks ago to work on his recall and look how well he’s doing!! He usually follows on behind Nyla, it’s great to see him running ahead of her for his reward 🐾😁
Lunar has been doing some extra-curricular activities 🤩 Lunar is booked onto our 6 month Behaviour Modification Package - although this trick training has nothing to do with that!
We think it’s really important to have fun with your dog and teach them new skills!! Here’s why:
🐾 It develops patience
🐾 It’s fun for you and your dog
🐾 It increases your dog’s confidence
🐾 Can help with distractions
🐾 Lets out your dog’s excess energy and uses their brain 🧠
🐾 It strengthens your bond 🥰🐶
Does anyone have any cool/unusual tricks they’ve taught their dog?

Check out Ernie’s response to ‘bed’ 🛏️ even with Nellie being a distraction 🙈🤣
👏 Well done Ernie 💙
Focus & heelwork 😍
Well done pups! You’ve all done brilliantly in this class ❤️
🐣 Happy Easter to you all! 🐣
Love from Holly & Tucker 🐾❤️
Our Hoyland pups absolutely loved class this week 🤩
Teaching a reliable ‘drop’ is so beneficial for all dogs (not just puppies)! We started by engaging the puppies with their toys and then offered an alternate high value reward to encourage them to swap 🦴🧸
