I’ve had an absolutely fantastic day today, but of course as usual I’ve forgotten to take any photos 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

I saw Link this morning for his usual training walk. Link’s excitable behaviour around dogs is really starting to improve, although his adolescent hormones are starting to kick in, so it will be a tricky few months for him! (Piccy of Link with his stick he found on a walk 🤣)

Then, I met up with Dante, Olive and Obie to work on some off lead interactions. The pups did really well and by the end of the session, they were playing really appropriately and recalling away from each other!

Next up was a home visit with Daisy. We worked on Daisy‘s impulse control as she likes to greet everyone at the front door. Daisy did really well and picked it up quickly, she’s so clever!

Then lastly, I saw new client Finn for a behaviour consultation. Finn is a very sweet three-year-old German Shepherd, who has some anxieties around people and dogs, particularly out on walks. Myself and Finn have made a bond already today which is a really encouraging thing to be able to work through her behaviour modification plan together!

Thankfully the weather is starting to cool down so it looks like sessions won’t be cancelled today!! 🎉🎉

Some of our Stocksbridge Pathway to Sucess pups made sure they were nice and cool in the heat yesterday as we cancelled evening classes

Down Challenge 🐶

Every week on Pathway to Success, all pups compete in the Down Challenge (how many lie downs they can do in 30 seconds) to work on their focus in a fast paced environment- but really it’s just for a bit of fun and competitiveness!!

And… our winner for July is Ringo… again!! But this time with an outstanding 20 downs!! 🐾

Our top 5 list are:
1️⃣ Ringo - 20
2️⃣ Lily - 16
3️⃣ Hank - 15
4️⃣ Albie - 14
4️⃣ Cormac - 14

Well done Ringo! 🏆

🌟 DOG OF THE MONTH 🌟

LILY 🐶 has been crowned our Dog of the Month for July 👑

In fact, this month should be ‘Human of the Month’ as Lily has won because of her mum Zara!! Zara won’t mind me saying, but she’s actually quite scared of dogs, she’s worried by them coming up to her or Lily as we can’t control the dogs around us (I’m sure many of us feel the same way a lot of the time!). Zara has worked hard to give Lily opportunities to socialise with other dogs, ensuring she’s not quick to rush away from another dog if both Lily and the other dog are happily saying hello 👋 this has helped Lily massively with her frustration on lead and has made walks much easier for their family 🥰

Congratulations Lily & Zara 🩷
