As a herding breed, Wilson has never naturally held items. On retrieval he typically spits them out at my feet, ready for me to pick up and use again. But now I'm too pregnant to keep bending down to the ground so I'm very grateful that he's finally learned "hold it" 🙌🏻
Got caught a little off guard at just how much Dottie wanted to go for her walk yesterday 🙈😂
One of my favourite things about doing mental stimulation walks with Wilson is the freedom his owners give me to do what I want with him ❤️
At Crufts I was blown away by the Freestyle Heelwork to Music winner and their distance control. Walking and stopping in line with each other on opposite sides of the arena floor was incredible to see.
It's something I've never taught before - normally owners want their dogs to walk to heel! So having a play with Wilson has been great, trying to figure out together how to make it work. We've got a way to go, but there's progress already 😁
A chilly but enjoyable session at Southwold beach this morning! We're not convinced Molly really wanted to find her toy though, she was having far too much fun exploring instead!
Just love how responsive this girl is to the whistle! We've been working on downs at a distance for some time in our training walks, but it's always been a bit of a struggle. Today I introduced a whistle command for down and it all came together for Sydney! Send away on vocal command, stop and sit with single whistle blow, down the with double pip 😁👏🏻🖤
I will NEVER not love training this boy! His eagerness to please is wonderful 🥰
Winston had his first ever go at using any kind of agility/hoopers equipment today, so we kept it to a simple oval course and both he and Rachael did SO well! 😍
How do you celebrate a whole year of Happy Dog when it's pouring with rain? Party games, of course! 🤩
Love this bunch of crazy people and dogs so much 🥰
It's been a few weeks since I've seen Elvis... Clearly the excitement was a little too much 🙈
This isn't the most glamorous job in the world, but I wouldn't change it ❤️
This video was too cute not to share! Miniature Dachshund, Strudel, was desperate to have a go at Fly Agility while watching her sister Maggie on Friday, so we set the jumps to their lowest setting and let them run together for the final go 🤩

We had some fun in our Thursday class this morning... Dog Rounders! They definitely preferred being fielders rather than batting 🤣
(I borrowed the idea from the genius of Team Dog- Training + Behaviour)
