Best of luck to Karen Connal Karen and Rùm stepping into their first Championship class today.
Go be amazing 💪😘
What do we do when a student says a course at the weekend was too hard? We set it up and we identify the skill gap and formulate a plan to train it. We also look at weird and wondferful ways we could have handled the course to suit our dog. Sometimes there is no skill gap and we need to trust our dog. 🐾😁
Plus the spaniel gets to train little bits from the type of courses he is going to face.
Time to unleash a little bit of crazy in the spaniel.
I was once told you cant shape play, maybe when I have more head space I will dig a little deeper on that subject. For now I know I can use food to shape tugging the toy from my hand. That then can turn into a game we can play that will increase arousal🐾💡
Slowly slowly we will go leaving him wanting more.
Some seesaw fun for Strike today 🐾🥰
Brrrrrrrrrrr its soooo cold
Despite the blue sky and sunshine the ground is rock hard. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
No agility sadly until it thaws. Protecting those precious paws and joints is a priority.
Stay warm and snuggly 🐾
Past trauma. It matters in future learning.
Where we see weave poles, Louis sees a scary succession of walking sticks.
If in your past you were hit by a walking stick repeatedly you are not likely to want to go near them.
Louis is safe now in his forever home. Working with his guardian to find inventive ways to progress his agility is a real joy.
Well done tiger tot. From a boy that would actively move away to charging down that channel.
So proud of you. 👏👏👏
Not everyones journey starts from the same point.
Fabulous morning at our sequencing workshop. Lovely and cool thanks to the haar🌫, then the sun came out.🌞🌞
Strike got to play after, before the sun got too hot 🐾
