More scentwork workshops! I’ve definitely chatted through with the majority of you how brilliant scentwork can be for our dogs🥰

As we head into 2025 we have lots of exciting scent work plans for classes, workshops and competitions.

If you are looking to get started with Scentwork or if you are already doing scentwork but are interested in joining us drop us a message.

NEW GROUP CLASSES!

Hi everyone. Due to the success and popular demand, I’ve got some dates in the books for more group classes. One is a Puppy Class, the other is the Troublesome Teenagers course. These are starting on the 12th of November and running for 5 weeks (doubling up in the last week to avoid having to run into Christmas festivities🎄)

🥹PUPPY COURSE🐾
🌟6 week course
🧠Encouraging social neutrality in puppies as well as learning all the fun tips and tricks.
🐶Eligable for puppies from their second vaccine - 9 months old.
📍West Coker Commemoration Hall.

🐶TROUBLESOME TEENAGERS🌟
🌟6 week course
🧠Adolescence is a very confusing time for both owners and puppies, Gemshine Dog Services aims to help guide owners and puppies through this tricky time to help them feel more knowledgable on what’s happening with their dogs and how to help them.
🐶Eligible for puppies from 9 months - 18 months.
📍West Coker Commemoration Hall

We’re very lucky to be able to use the West Coker Commemoration Hall so we can keep warm and dry when training the pups. Classes last for 6 weeks (there is a week missing) and classes will finish before Christmas. It’s £100 for the course, and limited spaces. For any more information, please send me a message🥰

As there was such a positive reaction to the new classes, they will be going ahead on a Monday evening, starting the Monday the 28th of October🥰

🌍PRACTICING IN THE REAL WORLD🌟

For dogs who are social and people wanting to work in real-life scenarios. This will be things like coffee shops, car parks, etc.

Things like loose lead walking around distractions, recalling, play and building confidence in these kind of situations.

As this is more of a guided session (I will be working my own dogs as well) rather than training, the price is £65 for 6 weeks. If you’re interested, please pop me a message🥰

As we’re going into winter, more competitions are becoming reduced, and we’re less likely to be out and about with our dogs. The aims of these sessions are to provide a positive and supportive environment for people to work with their dogs! Any new enquiries will be required to have a *free* meet-and-greet before coming to sessions to make sure this is suitable for your dog(s)

photos from saturdays group agility classes at 🥹 i loved how each of the dogs turned to get their mugshot when using the wobble boards🤣the only one i didn’t mange to get photos of was Bella, sorry! these two groups are doing amazingly! this weekend was all about teaching the dogs to drive on, and revisiting those important foundations for our contact equipment✨incredibly grateful for the polytunnel at for keeping us dry☔️💫

Rudy has been seeing me for the last month or so to work on her over excitement about horses. Rudy is a rescue dog, so we’re not sure what she saw as a puppy, but when she arrived with her new family she found their horses (and one cow🤣) very exciting! We’ve worked on managing Rudy in these situations, giving food around the horses and working on her respecting them and the fact she can’t run around them. Luckily, these 4 don’t really care about her bumbling around their legs! They did get some polos during the session yesterday for being so ‘helpful’ 🤣They’ve been brilliant test subjects and really allowed us to make progress. Rudy’s mum has also worked her socks off, from when i went to meet Rudy to the first session we had, I could already see a huge improvement. Her mum has worked so so hard with her and we’re now able to get the benefits. Rudy was able to have her longline dropped around the horses, and was able to mooch around the whole paddock. Such a superstar⭐️

what a busy few days😴🤣weekends at Gemshine are always incredibly busy, we’ve had the added bonus of having Blaze staying with us🧡before anyone gets excited, he’s come with us for a holiday. he’s not a second dog🤣although i don’t think Ness or I would object to him staying 🥰we had 1-2-1s on friday evening, followed by Nessa and i having a go at Man-trailing with All Seasons Mantrailing. we absolutely loved it!!!! as some know, we also do scentwork with Lynsey and have been waitinggggg to try mantrailing as we love it so much🤣so incredible to watch Nessa work along with the other dogs. i’m not sure who loved it more, Nessa or my mum who came along to help🤣Saturday was a busy day of 1-2-1s and our group classes, then we headed off to the beach for a post work swim at the beach🐬then on Sunday we’ve been out competing. Nessa had some beautiful runs, including pulling off of a tunnel trap (iykyk🧲🤣). we hope you’ve had a lovely weekend, whatever you’ve been doing🫶

I know i’ve spoken previously to clients about scentwork, it’s a lovely low-impact form of training and it’s so interesting to watch how our dogs use their noses. And Lynsey is a wonderful, patient teacher🥰

Have you ever wanted to try scentwork but not really sure what its all about, well now is your chance.

July we have the following sessions:

6th July 9:30am
26th July 10am

Any questions please get in touch

Moose🥹i’ve been working with Moose and his family the last 2 weeks on his recall. he’s been a star, we’ve been working really hard on using his tennis ball as a reward and actually bringing it back🤣he’s such a clever boy!⭐️

Yesterday🥹Thank you SO much to everyone who came to enter the Dog Show yesterday. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and their beautiful dogs. Everyone was so lovely and friendly, I think it was an understatement to say I was nervous about judging the dogs as everyone has the best dog in their eyes!

Massive well done to Jasper for winning the Best In Show! He won the Golden Oldie category and went on to win the Best In Show.

Massive thank you to my parents for their hard work with helping run the show and setting up the ring❤️

And a huge thank you to the Ash Committee for inviting me to run the show. We’d love to come back next year🥰

Please share any pictures you got of your pups below!🥰
