Day 3 Christmas 'Can do' calendar; today is a rather special one, so special that I will be sharing another video later this month showing another or clever Miss Mayo's skills. Please see the information below supplied my Mayo's mum and telling us exactly what Mayo is up to in this video. ​Mayo is a Spanish Water Dog, an old and primitive breed that has rarely mixed with other dog breeds. She has so many other names that you might think she's an international spy! She is also known as a Perro de Agua Español, Turco Andaluz, Perro Turco or Andalucian Turk. Her breed were mainly isolated in three areas of Spain up until late into the 20th century. Depending on the area were used as herding dogs, hunting dogs or aids to fishermen. Today they are still used as such. Spanish Police and Fire Service use them as we would use Spaniels, Labradors etc The SWD Club have developed Natural Aptitude Water Tests designed to keep our dog’s heritage and skills alive. These tests were developed by the SWDC from some of the historically traditional jobs our breed undertook as part of its daily routine in Spanish coastal fishing villages, in the north Llarado and the south Cadiz. Putting their natural retrieve instinct to good use in collecting items lost overboard and swimming out to retrieve surfboards and other small watercraft. Mayo has achieved Level 1 passes both for still and tidal waters. This pool is especially for dog water training just west of Sheffield and we live a long way from the sea. So we are super proud of how quickly she learns the tasks asked of her as we don’t train regularly.

Hoopers is, teamwork, connection, learning to listen, building bonds and having fun! Want to learn more? Why not come along to our Learn about hoopers workshop? Suitable for all breeds and ages, indoors and in the evening. Get in touch to find out more.

Day 1; Christmas 'can do' Calendar. This year we are kicking off our advent with the lovely Zippy. This year Zippy has passed her assessment and is now a Therapy Dog, it's clear to see from all those smiley faces that she is very good at her job 🥰

Lots of fun and even some sunshine at hoopers today. If you would like to find out more about this fun sport why not come along to our ‘Learn about hoopers’ Workshop. Designed for the complete beginner you will learn what hoopers is all about. Your dog will be introduced to some of the hoopers equipment and training. Suitable for all breeds and ages, get in touch for more information 🐶

That time of year is nearly here when we celebrate what we have achieved with our dogs throughout 2024. Walter was a puppy that didn’t like sitting still, I’m super proud that he can wait while I throw out his toys and dummies. Please share your achievements big or small to be featured in this years ‘can do Christmas calendar’ email to [email protected]

Managing your puppy while listening to instructions is never easy. That’s why following each puppy class you receive video tutorials so that you can practice your training at home. Lovely little Heidi got very excited when she saw me appear on her television 🥰

Trick and treating, weaving through the pumpkins, navigating the haunted alley and twirling round the broomstick! Lots of Halloween fun and games 👻🎃🧹

Something for everyone, indoor and outdoor classes, daytime, evening and weekend. Fun gundog, hoopers, puppy to advanced. Get in touch for more details and come and join the fun 🐶🐾

You can’t take the job out of the dog!! Walter is bred to find, flush and retrieve birds. Whether I choose to do this with him or not he is very strongly motivated to do those behaviours. These woods are currently full of pheasants and pheasant scent. Today Walter was able to; stop to a whistle, follow a directional cue, recall, retrieve, walk close and be still. Not too bad for a dog that turned 1 year old a few weeks ago. Want to learn more have a look at our Fun gundog classes. See the link in the comments or message for more details. 🐶🐾

Hoopers is a fun dog sport suitable for all breeds and ages. You will work with your dog to navigate a course made up of hoops, tunnels, barrels and mats. You will build off lead connection, strengthen your bond and have heaps of fun together. I currently have a limited number of places available on both weekday and weekend courses please get in touch to find out more 🐶🐾
