Working breeds in pet homes!
Some thoughts, working lines are bred for a working home, they are genetically modified to be highly active, often reared in out buildings or kennels. Sometimes sold to pet homes who haven’t fully realized or considered what they are buying, the breeder often does not match the dogs personality to the home its going to. If you have a working bred pup consider what hobby / work, you and your dog can enjoy together to meet your dogs needs, its not a question of more exercise, this just builds athleticism. There are many dog sport available…
Agility
Flyball
Scentwork
Mantrailing
Barn hunt
Competitive obedience
Pet gundog
Rally
If you have bought a cross breed, such as a Cockerpoo, was the cocker working lines ? Consider all crossbreeds and their genetics.
I would always recomend that pet guardians search for show line pups who are generally less hyper and have all the relevent health checks in place, see the parents and ensure the pups are home bred to meet their early socialization needs, often experienced dog guardians dont get the dog they planned for.
Enjoy your pup, two 1/2 hour walks round the block should not be the done deal.

Some of you might know that i work with school dogs already, its my goal to work with more school dogs, there are a few dogs in schools that are not independently assessed and with education facilities that dont fully understand AAI, if you know of any such schools in Norfolk please ask them to get in touch to find out how much more they can achieve with their school dogs and how to successfully advocate for the dog to get the best outcomes for all.

I have been working with school dogs for a couple of years now as an affiliate trainer with Canine Assisted Learning and as a trusted trainer with Therapy Dog Training Uk, also i am a certified school dog trainer with KAD.
I have been trying to get Norfolk School’s dog carers further educated in AAI for the past year, aside from difficulties with funding expressed by the schools im concerned that some dogs may not be advocated for successfully, teachers are qualified to teach children not dogs.
I do know though that some dogs are extremely well catered for by staff meeting the dogs needs and getting advice from AAI professionals.

Trainers go training with their dogs, Storm has started late in group class for various reasons, although he has attended puppy classes and made an occasional appearance in my bronze classes, he needs my 100% focus so i go to class with him, yes i know what im doing but going training is still important for all dogs partly to spend 1-1 time with them and to help them learn to behave acceptably in a group of dogs.
Come training with your adult dog, it will help your relationship and your dogs focus.
Give me a message to ask about my availability for 1-1 or group classes.

Gorgeous Lottie, had her second session with 1-1 training, she is doing really well, 1-1 training is great for addressing problems at home, Lottie has normal overexcited behavior, she is learning self control and her guardians are learning how to train her with positive training methods, today they learnt long line handling, an essential safety tool as the line helps you to set the dog up to succeed.

This new years day i wanted to do an introduction to you about me.
My dogs have been my first love all my life, they have always been my best friends.
I have had several breeds in my life and a few rescue dogs, my children grew up with family pet dogs and enjoyed competing in dog sports encouraged by me and the Young Kennel Club. We all competed in Agility, HWTM and later myself with Flyball and Scentwork. At one time we had 6 dogs.
I started Paws4Fun 10 years ago and it has grown and evolved. I still love working with pet dogs and their guardians, often working dogs in pet homes who need more training/ work/enrichment in their lives.
Its my goal to help people understand their dogs needs, since meeting that dogs needs will make them happy and consequently the guardian happy.
I have been gaining more qualifications and enjoying a lot of CPD the past 5 years, this is all very expensive so my prices reflect this.
I have a vast knowledge of different breeds, and crossbreeds, rescues and dog sports.
I hope i can help you train your dog with positive methods in 2025.
Happy new year all.
