Essex Dog Services

Some little snips of Wilson’s mini Gundog school with Maverick this morning, this is Wilson’s ‘walk’ but in true Essex Dog Services fashion we like to ensure your dogs are mentally and physically fulfilled in a way which best suits their breed 🫡 Wilson always brings me so much joy! He’s little focus face is so entertaining 🥹😂 and the speed he wags his tail at will sure cause him to take off one day 🚁 😂

Buddy loving his sniffari the other evening 🌿 Not only is he loving his scent work, but his lead walking is improving each time! 🐾 He’s responding to lead pressure and my body language, making walks so much more enjoyable and connected. Good progress from this clever boy—keep it up, Buddy! ✨🐶

Yesterday 1-1 walk with Minnie yesterday 🐾 Minnie can struggle with dog reactivity, which is very common in Border Collies! So yesterday we had the opportunity of Becky and Junie, Becky’s beautiful staffy who’ll you’ll spot in Becky’s Essex Dog Services logo!, having a slot free, so we teamed up and worked on Minnie’s reactivity, allowing her to understand she can calmly pass dogs! Dog reactivity can be a challenging time with many ups and downs but consistency will always pay off! We love you sweet Minnie 🐾 Posted by Meg Co walked with Becky 🌟

Memory retrieves with Maverick this morning 🐦 We’re using a pheasant dummy today! We throw the dummy in a bush, which Maverick sees while remaining in the sit position. We then walk away from the dummy with Maverick in heel before I realise him to retrieve. We’re currently building up the distance of these memory retrieves and also working on him parading around with the dummy after, you’ll see him try in this video so I blow the recall whistle again and he responds like a super star! I love everything moment of training this handsome man! 🐾 To all my training students, take note of how little I speak to Maverick! I promise saying less will help your training 👩‍🏫

Busy, but we have the most fun days in the office! Just love seeing everyone’s dogs having such a good time out on their walks 🐕🤎 Posted & walked by Becky 🐾

Little evening Gundog training session with Maverick 🐾 we’re focusing on holding returns at the moment salute 🫡 Talking with a whistle in your mouth isn’t the easiest 😂

Halli & Jeff enjoying their sunny group walk! ☀️🐾 It’s great to see these two feeling relaxed around each other, settling beautifully in public, and Halli putting in some fab heel work practice! 🌟A lovely walk with the cutest pups—well done, team! 🧡🐶

Marvellous Margo 🐾 Yesterday I spent some time getting Margo really excited about retrieving 🫡 young Margo is a little cautious of the world so we’re finding her a Job to do, which will build confidence, provide breed fulfilment and stop her hyper focusing on negative things such as dog reactivity, along with other training alongside reactively 🐾 Next session we’ll work on longer sit stays while the ball is being thrown, this builds impulse control 🥎 Posted and Walked by Meg 🐾

Volume up 🔊 to hear Moby’s happy chatter 😂 Mali’s are well known for their little teeth song when they are happy and excited to play 🥹 Moby had a new toy to play with today and I think she likes it! 🐾 🐾 Moby had just done a lovely bit of heel work so she’s ready to play tug as her reward! Posted & Walked by Meg 🐾

These two girlies are just adorable 🥰 Halli and Juno loved their time together in the sun…who else can’t wait for Spring to finally arrive?! ⛅️

Welcome Daisy & Todd to the Pack! 🐶🐶 Meet Daisy and Todd, two little Schnauzers bursting with character! Their owners reached out to us after struggling with walks—both pooches can get quite overwhelmed, becoming vocal and reactive around other dogs and sometimes people. But that’s exactly what we’re here for! With patience, understanding, and the right approach, we’ll help Daisy and Todd grow in confidence and enjoy their adventures, stress free! Together, we’ll brighten up life for both these two and their owners. Let’s get to work, Daisy and Todd—your journey starts here! 💛🐾

Nothing beats the joy of Diesel and his bouncy ears—weekend vibes are just around the corner! 🐶 Who else has that FriYAY feeling?! ✨
