Just to kick back into normal posting, Thankyou to everyone for being so kind and patient, a new mini series.
It’s messy, but fun and a bit different. ‘Things my spaniel can “hold”… we start with a shoe 🤣🐾👟.

What else shall I try?

You may have noticed, things have been a little quiet on here recently… What with the heat wave, and some other family bits and pieces going on it’s been a bit of a non-posting time…

Very sadly on Tuesday last week, we had to say a very sad goodbye to one of our family dogs Taz.

Tazzy, Tali or Tallulah as the rescue named her, came into Nathan’s families life when he had just started secondary school.

I met Taz when I met Nathan six years ago and we all locked down together as one big family during Covid. Taz became my cuddly bear when things got really tough for us all. Taz was also my admin assistant and featured in a lot of our early training videos.

It’s safe to say she is a one in a million dog, you’ll never meet another Taz. She’s left a massive hole in our hearts, she was so incredibly loving , crazy, and such a sensitive soul.

We love you lots Zazzy bear, and will miss you so so much. ❤️🐾🌈

When you get sent a video from Jerry’s owners, with the title ‘Jerry living up to his springer name’… it has to be shared on here 🤣.

It makes me so proud that Jerry’s owners have such an epic bond with their sweet boy, that they can enjoy just watching him be off, doing his thing in pure happiness.
Hope you’ve all had the best weekend. Some introductions are to come tomorrow for new members of the CC crew 🥰🐾

Good morning! Happy Thursday…
Just wanted to do a little post to welcome some new followers here, I’ve had a full on but lovely week seeing my regulars and also welcoming some amazing new clients!

Just thought I’d share my entertaining morning antics with you all. On a lovely bright and early dog walk this morning, I was sleepily rummaging through my pockets to find some treats to scatterfeed. Little did I realise that I was actually putting my hand into an untied used p**p bag 🤣🤮🐾. Hoping we’ve all been there?!
What’s worse? Is my hand lingered in the bag for sometime while I deliberated the possibility that I’d picked up some very moist dog treats as opposed to the hard kibble I knew I’d taken out with me.

It’s safe to say, that hand is absolutely out of use until I can get myself to a sync with some soap!🤣🤣

I’m always here to keep it real, in the hope to give someone a giggle/ squirm to start their day🤗🤭

When one of your clients messages to say could we meet to say goodbye as they are moving out of the area, you arrive and get given a beautiful bunch of flowers and mutually agree that this isn’t a goodbye but a see you soon as they will be coming back to the area for more fun and games with me…. Well what can I say ❤️🥹🐾.

It’s the hard part of my job, the saying goodbye when the time comes. However, luckily for me it’s often not an actual goodbye because either we bump into eachother when I’m out and about and I get the best greetings ever… or we get to have fun extra bonus sessions for a good old catch up and continued enrichment… or the goodbye never comes because we all just have you much fun we carry on training!

Want to wish my lovely client so much luck with their new home, and I can’t wait to catch up soon x

Meet Indie! What a pleasure it is to work with such an awesome little puppy, and wonderful family. Here she is just a day after having her session on ‘emergency stop’ practicing what she’d learned. So proud of her. We are working on building confidence and happiness in all the ways with this gorgeous girl, plus lots of whistle training and eventually some Gundog and possibly scent work training too & helping build structure and calmness at home as-well. Can’t wait to see this girl grow and shine x

Meet Murphy, or Smurf as his Auntie Katie calls him 🤣🐾🥰. He and his epic mum KarriAnn, have been having some sessions for a short while now, mainly focusing on gundog training. I’ve absolutely loved guiding them through the foundations of impulse control, lines out, whistle cues (stop, quartering, hunt and recall), as well as tidying up his delivery which he could find a little exciting overwhelming, he’s looking so much more happy with it, and we can now work on bringing him in closer and potentially getting that inhand delivery . I can’t tell you how proud of this team I am, KarriAnn and Murph have been working so hard this month, and the results speak for themselves. Also love even more that Murph gets the zoomies in excitement when I arrive for his session. Can’t wait for more Gundog fun, and giggles next week x

I was beyond proud of Ruby do this week in her gundog session.
These deliveries of dummies are becoming so reliable which is always the icing on the cake, when she’s also spent the entire session working her socks of, tracking scent whilst in a busy open environment. In the last retrieve we were being followed by a cockapoo, and a large husky had entered the field close by- Ruby didn’t bat an eyelid, she listened to her quartering signals and even managed a few stops aswell.

Gundog training will always have a soft spot in my heart for the joy it gives these pet working dogs, the structure it provides and the connection with their owner it builds.
So good to see it all paying off in these real life situations.

So so proud of this gorgeous girl, and her mum- they are both doing amazingly, and believe me happy dances were had 🤣🐾🥰 x

We have another bank holiday on our hands! I think gorgeous Henry knows the vibe 🤣🤣.

Henry has been such a superstar learning all sorts of things in his 1:1’s.
We’ve been focussing on
-calmness greeting guests
-cooperative care for grooming
-on bed and settle
-recall, and other engagement activities (whistle training)
-scent work

This week we are going to build confidence to go off lead on walks as he’s doing so well with his focus now!
Good job team Henry 🥰🐾

Sooo… a little secret we’ve been keeping.
As you know it’s recently been our 5 year business anniversary of Considering Canines.

To celebrate, we’ve been doing some business development, lots of CPD as always, plus… the exciting bit… we’ve been working with a fantastic graphic designer, to create ourselves a brand new logo!
Riley had to be at the heart of our logo, as he is the reason I first found my passion with dog training, and is my absolute heart and soul. Our graphic designer used inspiration from one of our professional photos of Riley, to create our logo and we absolutely love it.
The first photo, our main new logo, the second a few stamps, and badges you may also see us using.

We have you all to thank from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to grow and thrive. We haven’t changed, just given ourselves a little facelift. We hope you love it as much as we do 🥰🐾.

When your spaniel sees your lying in the sunny spot, so decides to puppy pile on top of you to soak it in too… I’ve been nap trapped now for a good hr 🤣🥰💤, by the looks of his paw placement on my arm, I’m going nowhere soon!
