An early morning stroll for Buzz before it gets too hot for him at nearly 15 he can’t cope with the heat very well. Back home for breakfast and then relaxing in the cool of the house. One happy dog ❤️🐾🐾

There was definitely light at the end of the tunnel on this walk. It was lovely and cool in the shade.

16/06/2024

We had a lovely weekend away with our family, so much so that Buzz didn’t want to come away from our caravan. But when everything had been put away once home he took up his normal place on the settee to have a sleep and dream about his weekend.

Such happy dogs.
We enjoy spending time with the dogs that we take out for walks, we have learnt so much and still do from each one.

Learning to do a “middle” is where your dog sits facing the same way as you between your legs. An example of use, It can be a place of safety for them when they are unsure of something.

What a clever set of puppies. One of the exercises in class was to put their front feet calmly up on a step. It’s amazing how calm they were in that position.

We had a short break over the weekend. Buzz enjoyed watching the world go by, getting excited to see other dogs and saying hello when suitable. We don’t walk far now but he is enjoying life. ❤️🐾🐾

23/05/2024

We have had a short stroll and now it’s time to rest, he has three beds and a settee to choose from but obviously the carpet is his choice at the moment. ❤️🐾🐾

My office assistant is fast asleep, I really need to leave the room to go to the toilet but don’t want to wake him. The things we do for love. I will hold on ❤️

20/05/2024

A lovely start to the week. Spending time with lovely puppies at a fantastic venue in gorgeous weather.
We worked on reflex to name, making the mat a positive place to be, recall using Chirag Patel’s counting game, calmness around others and answered lots of questions. Everyone did amazing, well done to them all. ❤️🐾🐾

We are continuously updating our knowledge to try to understand dogs as well as we can and hopefully help them to the best of our abilities.

I obviously wasn't taking my shoes off fast enough. He wanted a treat. He's enjoying life and getting his own way in the process. ❤️🐾🐾

17/05/2024

We got drenched but what fun we had. You can't beat walking / working in the countryside.

Si had an amazing weekend expanding his knowledge and toolbox regarding Ttouch to enable him to help even more dogs / animals. He can’t wait to put it into practice.
Our learning never stops.

13/05/2024

I’m honoured to be working with this young lad. Our walks are going to be structured fun with a little walking nicely on the lead.

08/05/2024

It's lovely to have some better weather to take dogs out in although the smaller ones still need washing afterwards especially the ones that lie in dirty puddles.

03/05/2024

Cuteness overload. The weather was horrible but they all did so well, practicing walking with their family, intro to muzzle, body touches to name and intro to Scentwork.

What a difference a day makes. She wasn’t impressed with the lack of view.

01/05/2024

My office assistant is having 40 winks, at least he’s comfortable.

It was lovely weather to include TDRally in class, everyone enjoyed learning new skills. Well done to them all.

25/04/2024

A lovely way to start the day.

Dogs don’t have to be young to enjoy toys. I pulled a toy out of my pocket whilst out with Buzz a couple of days ago, he instantly took it from me and carried it all the way home. He appeared so proud of his prize. To see that little sparkle in his eyes was worth taking the toy out with me. ❤️🐾🐾
