What a week so far for the pup-pups 🐶🐶🥰
🌧️☀️⛅️☀️🌧️🌈🌦️☀️☀️☀️

Had almost every weather type but that means they have been able to have lots of new experiences 🙌💛

🆕 Meeting other dogs (safely and fully vaccinated within our own dog family)

🆕 Playing outside - in the SUN ☀️!

🆕 Textures under foot inc gravel, wet grass, chalk/stone and concrete in the farm yard.

🆕 Hearing the combine & other large farm machinery in a new environment other than their usual space and without mum - they were very not phased 👍🙏

🆕 Snacks- lots of new food to try including apple, sprats, beef spleen and other vegetables 🥒

🆕 People to play with including children and other adults 😁

Only another couple of weeks with these beauts 💚❤️💙💛🧡🩷

🥬 Sugarbeet Training 🥬

Starts Friday (26th July) @ 10.30am- 12.30pm for 6 weeks over the summer hols 👍 £45 per handler/ dog.

A key part of any training is to generalise commands and then proof them in a range of environments….. Well it’s the same for Gundog Training and Sugarbeet is definitely one of those environments that dogs need to learn (or re-learn!! 🤣🙈) to mark, hunt, handle and generally be in!

Even walking to heel is completely different in a Sugarbeet field…

There are 2 free spaces each week too for anyone would like to help and throw dummies, but with their dog, to gain experience and receive the odd retrieve, but maybe the dog/ handler isn’t ready for the full experience of the training session.

See below ⬇️ to book any of my training sessions 🥰 thank you to you all, and look forward to
Seeing you out training soon!

The puppies are growing fast now 🥰

5 weeks old tomorrow 🕰️ 💨 ….

Such a happy, chilled out litter, easy-going and quiet 🥰 Just as Labradors should be, not attention-seeking or whining, just the right balance of calm and crazy… or at least they are at the moment 😬🤣😝

🐕 Pre-novice/ Novice Handler Training 🐕

Entering working tests? Or trying to bridge the gap between puppy training and novice training?

This session is aimed at practicing your line training, your dogs ability to work with distractions, building the dogs confidence to blinds and exercises to strengthen your dogs handling ability and sharpness… this session is for all handlers and dogs that might not be quite ready to take on a full retrieve with all handling commands, but want to know how to correct their dog if it goes wrong, and how to set up exercises to train their dog to become competent at handling and working at distance.

Regular classes throughout April & May, still spaces next week !! ⬇️

🗓️ Tues 30th April
🕰️ 9.30-11.30am
💴 £40

It has been another wonderful week back out teaching my amazing clients and their dogs 🐾

I always try to keep each session fun and engaging for both handler and dog but my aims are always;

🐕 To instruct, improve and motivate the handlers.

🐕 To encourage handlers to go away and practice with new ideas and techniques.

🐕 To problem solve and work on weaker areas of both handler & dogs ability.

Therefore, I am not a “dummy thrower” or even running “training groups”. I hope to give everyone the confidence go out and enjoy this wonderful sport and to be proud of the dog they have trained 💖🐾

Here is a snippet of OFTAW Mekoro Make No Promises (aka: Barley) doing what he loves and making me proud of the dog I have trained 💙☺️.

(FYI: this retrieve was sent as a blind first, then as a memory back to the same area. My main focus was sending into head wind, angles across different terrain and I sent him twice as I wanted more drive and a straighter line the second time- after he had more confidence as he had been to the area before 👍)

💖☺️🐕🐾😘

04/03/2024

2 spaces remaining for tomorrow’s Advanced Novice /intermediate group ☺️

Session plan is… a bit of 💦… a bit of jumping.. some long memories & of course some marks… 👍 stop whistle practice as well as some lefts and rights all going to be covered tomorrow…

Just book online if you would like to come ☺️👍 ⬇️
