My email and site have just gone down for reasons unknown. Since it's 10pm here this is a tomorrow job now but if you try to email be aware it may bounce until the issue is fixed.

Not to worry. I'm sure I can fix it.

Have a Lyra photo as a way of an apology for the inconvenience!

Daisy went on her first trip to the cinema today!

The cinema can be a challenging environment. It presents it's own challenges for both handler and dog with very little room for error but I thought Daisy was at a point where she could handle it.

And she rose to the occasion beautifully, helping her young handler to be able to stay in the screening for the entire film which was an incredible achievement! She settled beautifully and performed DPT for her handler!

I'm extremely proud of them both! ❤️

We aren't posting much because we are still on our holidays. We will be back Thursday.

Until then here is Leah in her . Not affiliated with them. I'm just a huge fan! 😂. A must have for the beach in my opinion!

Great badness occurred in my house this morning and I am thrilled.

You may wonder how a chewed up dumbbell makes me so happy!

Anyone who knows my journey with Leah would know my struggles with trying to get her to pick things up. There was no way a dirty, horrible dumbbell was going into her mouth at all and I was terrible for even suggesting it.

To be honest I abandoned my efforts on the matter some time ago. Sometimes a break is better than pressing an issue and picking things up isn't the most pressing matter.

This morning she takes this and chews it, had the absolute best time, forms her own positive conditioned emotional response to picking up the dumbbell and, in the course of one morning, goes from point blank refusing to touch it to the dumbbell being the best thing ever.

Her reward is to chew it. That's what she likes. I can incorporate that into my training plan now I know

Dumbbells are replaceable. Finally finding the thing that makes Leah tick about retrieving objects is priceless.

I'm about to do something completely weird.

I am about to share a lot of my content to my story on Instagram and the way it's set up it will also post to my Facebook story.

This is just so I can sort them into highlights.

I'm getting better at this Instagram thing 😂

Enjoy the content spam!

A medical alert ❤️

Assistance Dogs are so amazing. They never fail to inspire me with their life saving and life changing abilities.

One of the best parts of this job is watching handlers grow in confidence and access spaces they couldn't access before and watching them grow together as a partnership.

Assistance Dogs are so inspiring and I am blessed to work with them and with so many lovely handlers who are dedicated to making them the best Assistance Dogs they can be ❤️

If you enjoy gardening you won't be enjoying it at the moment as it seems all you are doing is fighting the slugs intent on eating literally everything in their path.

I feel like I'm buying plants simply to feed slugs at the moment. They are like extremely expensive pets I don't enjoy in any way.

Be very aware in this slug onslaught that slugs carry lungworm and it's a good idea to speak to your vet about a good preventative to stop your dogs getting sick. Lungworm can be fatal so make sure your dogs are protected !

An amazing day for Leah as she wins her class today at Birmingham National. She behaved so well and performed perfectly to snag the red rosette!

Even more special was watching her grandmother, Winnie, become a show champion!

A great day

Today two of my clients have messaged me, absolutely over the moon, that strangers had been kind about their reactive dog.

It absolutely made their day!

If you see someone with a reactive dog, a bit of kindness goes a long way. Even just a smile or a kind word or just remarking how beautiful their dog is.

Such a small gesture can make such a difference to someone's reactive dog journey!

Something I have been asked for for a long time.

On Thursday 23rd May, I will be talking about how you can make your dog training more neurodivergent friendly, whether you are a dog trainer looking to make a more inclusive training service or a neurodivergant individual wanting hints, tips and trick.

As a neurodivergant person who specialises in training assistance dogs for neurodivergant tasks, I want to share my experience and knowlege with you so you may gain a better understanding of how neurodiversity can affect both physical training mechanics and how people access dog training services.

We will throw away tradition views of neurodiversity and look at understanding the real challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals when it comes to training dogs.

We will be talking about how to create an inclusive environment in your training services (if you are a trainer) and how you can tailor your training methods to suit everyone.

I will also share stories with you of my own clients and how they achieved their training successes.

Places are £20 and you can book here at: https://aimeegardinerbschons.as.me/NDwebinar.

It will be recorded and a recording will be made available to attendees after the webinar.
