🖤✨ Lhanna & Gemma; two border collie obsessed dog trainers from Glasgow.

Old lady goals for 2025 ✨

With Holly turning 14 this year, long walks aren’t quite the treat they used to be. Over this holiday, we have been visiting cafes with friends following short walks.

Firstly, we went for a pub trip with Onyx ✅
Today we went for Starbies with Lindsay 🥰

Both times she has settled super quickly and enjoyed people watching. As a people loving dog, it’s been really nice to see her get plenty fuss and pets which she absolutely lives for, and waits very patiently on!

In busier locations we are still utilising her muzzle. Her physical limitations still exist - which are my responsibility - in allowing her to be part of society safely ✨

Can’t deny I’m very excited for more cafe trips with this lil lady 🖤

As 2024 comes to a close, so does this chapter for House of Herders.
I will never forget sitting in the passenger seat of Gemma’s Dacia as we blasted up the motorway from a workshop in England almost 3 years ago. I was talking at 100mph as I detailed how we could turn my dogs instagram account name into our future business. A year later, in 2022 we launched our podcast and things snowballed from there into this beautiful business serving all herders.

As the years passed Gemma and I have been so lucky to delve into so many different parts of the dog world, and continue to be inspired about what our future could look like within the industry.

Working with so many herders was an absolute dream! From behaviour modification and basic training to urban herding to scent work and now hoopers. It has been an absolutely wild ride!

However, one thing thing we didn’t expect to be so heavily impacted by being in business together was our friendship. And that wasn’t something we were willing to loose.

I love everything I have created here with House of Herders. Our branding, our ethos, our training style. I love it all. Despite that, I have made the decision to leave House of Herders in Gemma’s capable hands.
In the last two years, my life has changed in ways I couldn’t even imagine - professionally and personally. And for me, it makes sense to make a clean break.

I want to thank every single person that trusted me with their dog and their family. I literally remember you all, and think about your dogs on the regular!

Over the coming week, I will no longer be contactable via any of my House of Herders emails, website or the main Instagram page. However, they will remain running in Gemma’s hands.

The current House of Herders Facebook will revert to my own dogs instagram account as it previously was, and a new House of Herders business page will be launched on Facebook.

New fb page: House of Herder

From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

Oh where to start! 🖤💛

Our first ever House of Herders Hoopers show was a blast!

Have to start with a huge thank you to our two judges - Nikki and Peter, for giving up their day to judge and setting fabulous courses. A huge thanks also to all the helpers who helped set up/ take down equipment, change courses and kept the day running smoothly. A huge thank you also to Karen for all of the support in the lead up to today and on the day itself. There were some nerves about making sure our first show was a good one but Karen and the team made sure of that 👏🏻🥰

Thank you to everyone who came along to run their dogs, hope you all had a great day - it looked to us that all of the dogs had a great time and that's what it's all about 🐾

Please do let us know if you have any feedback on how the day went

Thank you also to Short 'n' Sweet for the excellent catering, the soup was definitely a hit and the hot rolls were much appreciated on a chilly morning!

And lastly a big thank you to the Burnbrae team and their brilliant venue.

What a fabulous day, I think we'll need to do that again 😂

🐾 Kobi

This handsome little man started his puppy 121 training this week. His family are already doing a brilliant job and he's such a clever little dude.

Over the next few weeks we'll be working on confidence out in the big wide world, leash work and recall.

Doesn't he just have the cutest wee face 😍

Cooper had great fun showing everyone at his Hoopers skills. Lovely to have a couple of dogs have a go 💖

If you'd like any information on our hoopers classes - drop us a message 😊

Chloe ✨
Recently the fam moved house and Chloe was taking her role as land guardian very seriously.
As we had the opportunity to make some changes with the fresh canvas of a new home, we pounced on it!

We helped Chloe ‘meet’ her guests in a non confrontational manner, with their intentions clear from the offset following a predictable pattern.

Like me, this gal also loves shoes, so once she settles on her mat she gets to investigate the visitors shoes as she wants to know all about her guests, but doesn’t actually want to share her personal space with them.

She’s been absolutely smashing her training, I’m so proud! 🥲

If your dog seeks to fixate; 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚 🦋

Mist is a car chaser, who has a very active brain that is always working and seeking the next hit. So, we used that to our advantage. We give her what she wants and that allows us to reach our goals ✨

Our books are now closed to new 121 clients 📚 ✅

The first year at House of Herders has been crazy! We have been totally ran of our feet busy and appreciate every single pup and human we have worked with.

We have ran workshops, classes, demoed at events and carried out 121 training. Every aspect we have absolutely loved 🥰

Looking back over the year though, it’s very clear where we should focus our attention. And that is in building our community and increasing our clubs on offer. We are super excited for the launch of hoopers, obedience in conjunction with and making our scentwork and herders clubs the best they can be. Plus, the return of podcasts!
Community is our focus for this year 🫶🏽

This does mean that 121 training spaces will be limited, and will namely take place at our field in Kirkintilloch at select dates through the month.

Thank you to everyone that has been part of year one: and here’s to year two where we build what we have laid the foundations for.

To make sure you don’t miss the release of 121 slots and our clubs, make sure you are a member of our mailing list where we release them first! Link is in the bio 🤩

Today, we had our first scentwork trial! So so proud of every pup and guardian that participated, and took everything in their stride. Thank you all for practising so well & coming along making today a success 🥰

Special thanks goes too:

The face of a boy who absolutely SMASHED his training session 👏🏼❤️

I am so proud of Chester and his lovely family.

I love helping dogs and their humans build the skills they need to make walks enjoyable and less stressful.

We enjoyed a walk round a local park where we could do some work at a distance from other dogs and show Chester how to manage his emotions and behaviour better when he sees other dogs.

He's such a clever boy and it's so nice to see him looking happy and relaxed out and about 🐾

Control = freedom 🍂 Okay - I don't like the word control but I think it's the simplest way to put it. I've noticed a trend in dog training recently where some trainers are advocating for less training, demonising obedience training and suggesting we let our dogs just be dogs. I do wonder exactly how those trainers think we can let our dogs enjoy the simple pleasures of being a dog without some basic training. I feel very lucky that I can walk my dogs pretty much anywhere. If it's safe to let them off lead then I can because they have been trained to come back to me when I call them. I can trust Travis not to jump all over random humans because of the training we have done. They don't drag me around on the lead because of lead training. All of that training allows my dogs to enjoy off lead walks where they can enjoy just being a dog. If you live on a huge piece of land where your dogs can roam free with no interaction with the outside world then that's great for you, I'm sure your dogs can thrive with very little training. But for most of us, our dogs have to navigate a human world with lots of social rules and safety concerns. It's up to us to help them do that, I believe good training does exactly that. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #glasgowdogtrainer #collie #bordercollie
