Dorothy showing everyone what a real sausage roll is!! ๐ญโ๏ธ๐ฅณ
LIFE LOTTERY! โฅ๏ธ I really feel like I have won the lottery recently, the lottery of time. Im so so so lucky to have such amazing and supportive doggy owners! The thought of missing out on my boy growing up and being apart from him was absolutely breaking my heart, time really is so precious! Thereโs nothing like an apprentice to super charge your engagement with the dogs too โฅ๏ธ he wonโt be with me forever, but Iโm so grateful and lucky to have the option. So a huge thankyou to all the fabulous dogs I walk and to the ones that arenโt out with me just yet but are still with Sammy at the moment too! And on that note, I really could not have done this without the support of Sammy!!!!! I really am the luckiest person in the world to have this lady in my life! Thankyou @quadrantk9wirral for being the best! โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ you all turned a very stressed Lydia to a very happy Lydia!! ๐ฅฐ ###
Super proud of this pupper ๐ Theo is over excited by dogs and his humans are working hard on his recall, so I have too ๐ a few people look down on long lines/ leads, when actually, they are amazing tools! They allow you to bridge the gap between on lead and off lead, they allow freedom whilst still having control, they allow you to train properly, and build up control at a distance! They help you, to help all kinds of dogs with all kinds of issues! Iโm at an enclosed field, the dog is โfriendlyโ I donโt need a long line? Yes I do! If I want to keep up with the hard work his humans have put in and not just reverse all their efforts ๐ #goldendoodle #puppy #recall #training #walkies #dogwalks #dogtraining #wirraldogs #longline #control #practicepracticepractice
Practice practice practice and practice again ! The boys absolutely smashing their walk and I couldnโt feel any more proud of them ๐คฉ having good recall for your dog is SO important! Whether they are friendly or not ๐โค๏ธ
Impulse control ๐ถ
Practicing sit with duration and distance ๐ถ
Every day incorporates an aspect of training ๐ we enjoyed a lovely walk, finished with some impulse control ๐ถ #sit #duration #distance #training #walkies #wirralwalks #beagle
Eli, only on his 5th walk, showing me how good his obedience is ๐ the 1st time Iโd ever asked him to down and give me duration & distance ๐ we had so much fun! A great way to socialise your dogs with humans is to get people to train your dog (in the same way that you train them- hopefully the paws in nature way ๐) this was a brilliant social walk for us- even though it was just us and there are no other dogs! Dogs are only a tinyyyy part of socialisation! I believe the key that needs to be unlocked in all aspects of life with your dogs is engagement- focus on you, the handler. Eli absolutely smashed this and shows the perfect example here- check out that focus! #fun #walkies #socialisation #generalisation #impulsecontrol
