This is how we roll in our puppy classes... 🥰😁
Little Marley showing off his 'leave' practice while thoroughly enjoying himself.... awwww.... 💙 His tail was wagging through the whole class!
It is totally possible to train a dog without any punishment based training - we make our training fun, with the emphasis on positivity!! 😊🐕

Lovely little Bryson recently joined our hoopers classes. He is only 8 months old but because hoopers is a low impact activity, we welcome puppies from 6 months plus.
However, it is rare we have such young dogs in class because they need to be able to work reliably off lead in a group setting which isn't easy, especially when other dogs in the class are busy running their own sequences!
Big thumbs up to Val who has put a lot of groundwork in to get Bryson to such a great level of progression with his general training skills - it truly is a pleasure having them in class! 🥰🐾👏

Lovely Fly has progressed well during hoopers classes to the point where we are now introducing short sequences! 😄
We take the time putting in the groundwork so that the dogs build equipment value and learn distance handling skills.
Here is a nice figure of eight hoop sequence! 😁🐾

Penny has been having 1:1 training with us to improve on her lead skills and behaviour around distractions in public.
We've been doing a lot of precision heelwork with her and she's starting to self-regulate when she moves forwards, putting herself back into the heel position without a need to pull her or jerk on the lead. Great work! 🥳🐾

Some lovely handling from team Gracie during hoopers classes - when building handling skills we are teaching the dogs to respond to our body language, arm signals and verbal cues. It's a mental workout for the dogs AND handlers! 😅🐾👏

Beans has been trickier to train with his hoopers skills because he is SO FAST - and so collie! 🤣 He loves big sweeping curves but has struggled with the technical skills - simply because he wants to run fast and not use his thinking brain! 😆
We had a breakthrough today and he did SO well!
This is his first big course that he's completed from start to finish without any errors - and fantastic distance handling too! 🥳🥳🥳👏🐾

Miss Gracie was flying during her hoopers 1:1 session! 😀👏
So lovely to see her enjoying being able to pick up a sport again after having to stop agility due to a hip dysplasia diagnosis. She loves it! 💗🐾

Lovely boy Hamish had another 1:1 this week. 🐾💙
His Mum doesn't enjoy walks at the moment because he is horrendous for pulling on the lead.... 🦮🏃♀️
On top of that, he has a fixation with wanting to chase ANYTHING on the ground that moves - not ideal given the blustery weather we've been having!! 🌪🙈
This is him towards the end of our first lead walking session - look at how well he's doing! Just one session! 😯
Positive reward-based training works!
❌️ No aversive equipment used.
❌️ No jerking on the lead needed.
❌️ No shouting at the dog or punishing them.
❌️ No physical force required.
✅️ Just modern, science-backed positive training methods. 💗

These two lovely boys have been having some 1:1 training to help improve their lead walking skills and build Merlin's confidence (pictured right).
Having come from a rescue, they have only been in their new home for a few weeks so are still settling in. It sounds like they may have never had lead walks previously, so it's a steep learning curve for them, but they are both doing brilliantly so far! 🙌😀
They are strong dogs so it is important for their new owners that we can teach them to walk without pulling and potentially causing them an injury.

Did you know that Equafleece sell dog tankies that are made of a tshirt type material which you can soak in cold water, wring out and put on your dog?!
Perfect in the heat - it really does keep them cooler! 😎
Shady walk plus her tankie and Amber had a nice cool outing this morning. 🐾😊
(Obviously keep a check on it because if it starts to dry out it'll make your dog heat up instead of cool down!!!).

Let's talk lead walking skills! 🐕🦺
What are your goals/expectations when it comes to lead walking? 🐾🤔
For me, I am not looking for a strict 'heel' position.
I want my dog to learn that:
* We go places when the lead is loose.
* You stay on one side of the human rather than swap around, cut across in front of the human etc.
* You can sniff whilst on walks as long as the lead remains loose and there is no pulling.
I don't mind if the dog is slightly in front or slightly behind my heel.
I don't mind if they sniff as we go.
I don't mind if they want to look around and observe the environment around them. They don't have to have eyes on me all the time.
I encourage check-ins because I want to build and maintain a good relationship with my dog. It helps as part of the lead walking process too.
You can see in the video here that Amber is out in front of my heel but that is perfectly acceptable to me. We are both walking at the same pace and she isn't pulling on the lead.
Happy dog and happy owner!
Having clear goals helps to educate your dog and further their learning.
And yes, all this can be achieved without having to jerk on the lead, without punishing the dog, without using force, without using slip leads, choke chains or shock collars.
