🐾🐾Dougal's 1st adventure to the village green with Mark today...noises are scary to begin with but again just taking time to adapt to village life.
Otherwise lots of snuggling as Mandy has a lurgy so a day under a duvet on the couch. More interaction with our guys, learning quickly about manners!

In puppy class, not only do we show you and your dog what we want to see. We make it happen and improve the strength of each cue in stages.
When we can create a beautiful level of communication between humans and dogs, we can achieve amazing things! 🐕🐶😍

Dougal, Harriet, George & Breagha out this morning at Archie's Dog Acres
George is going to have a few rest days as he has been reluctant & slower on walks over the last few days.

24 hours later and wee Dougal is settling in!

A visit to Archies Acres this morning to let him feel the freedom. He was like my shadow....
Top Tip...want your dog to stick by, keep moving & make yourself exciting!
This then helps form good habits moving forward!
Dougal is just over 5 months old therefore very impressionable and willing to learn so we are making the most of this.
Dougal lost a tooth last night too, with lots going on meeting our 8 doggos & adapting to being in a house, the little guy us showing great resilience. He does have a voice & knows how to use it - we are here to guide Dougal, creating positive out of any unwanted behaviours.

We love our life!

In puppy class we use motivation, rewards and your dog's natural drive to build a huge desire to connect with you! This makes loose leash work much more fun for you and your dog.

Puppy Life Skills 12 week course starts Saturday 11th January 2025.

🐶Do you want to carry on having fun whilst training you dog....

🐾Our Skills Club course is for any age of dog who has reached a standard of basic training, non reactive to other dogs and wants to keep learning with their human!

🐾As you have committed to your new arrival, we want to make it possible to plan the most rewarding 1st year together.

🐾Starting with our Puppy Life Skills, moving onto our Intermediate Life Skills, then our Skills Club.

🐾Why 12 weeks with added 121 sessions if you missed our Puppy Life Skills course …

🐾Over 2024 we have changed our courses from 4 weeks to 6 and have learned that a longer duration of course would be dramatically beneficial for you & your dog.

🥉🥈🥇Imagine starting a Marshall Arts Discipline or a Dance Class … you can learn the basics, but you only improve with practise & often guidance is key to your success.

🐾What is different for your dog is that, throughout each day you are practising each skill but if your technique isn't what it could be, each skill may be more difficult, for you both to achieve.

🐾Changing habits takes good memory & repetition.
Time, Commitment and work creating Good Habits, with your dog will most definitely elevate your success, together.

🐶 The end result would be a stress free, harmonious relationship with your dog as you work towards meeting your dogs every need to lead a well-balanced, fun life together.

'Puppy Life Skills' lead to 'Good Dog Life Skills'

🐶Why choose us?
🐾You will learn how to clearly communicate with your dog.
🐾Learning basic communication skills at an early stage will help with more elaborate training in the future.
🐾We create behaviours that will become permanently etched in memory & gradually become second nature to you & your dog.
🐾We use Effective, Kind, Reward-Based Training via Praise, Food, Toys, Licking & Chewing.

🐶Why do we train the way we do?
🐾Ethical training is fair to your dog.
🐾Not stressful for either of you.
🐾Not punitive - decrease of physical injury for you both - no jerks on collars or harnesses - manageable loose leash control.
🐾Enjoyable for both you & your dog.
🐾Builds confidence for both of you - leading to more choices for building your life together for training & problem solving.
🐾Teaching you efficient ways to guide your dog to behave a certain way - you have to be able to help them chose that pathway.
🐾Positive training is transferable between family members.
🐾Permanent results come from repetition & reinforcement -
If your reinforcement has not gathered enough strength, beware you may not like your dogs alternative choices.
🐾We never leave you without back up - our private WhatsApp groups allow for questions & video lessons for continuation at home.
