Wet weather games.

Great for enrichment. Focus. Scenting.
Struggling for indoor games? Just ask.
This game is called Bonnie Blue Balls.
"Should you walk or play with your dog?"
A question I was asked recently.
Why is it binary?
Walk for a bit. Play for a bit.
Find some things to jump over. Crawl under. Balance on. Play tug. Muck around. Throw in a bit of training.
Then walk for a bit.
Repeat.
How we attack the weekend.
Get after it.
50m whistle recall.
Off a pheasant chase.
How do you get focus from far away?

Does your dog come back just as quick as they ran out?
If not, why not?
The dopaminergic system can't be cheated.
If the rewards back at you aren't big enough. The praise. The food. The play.
Then they might meander back.
Or not come back at all.
Keep the rewards high.
Gundog Courses. Easter weekend.
Gundog Fundamentals
Gundog Advanced
Gundog Refined
Spaces filling up fast. Book your space today.
With enough practice at the skill of watching, your dog learns to observe.
Then look away.
Reward the look away. The disengagement.
Especially if it's voluntary.
You'll get a dog that learns to problem solve and use their pre-frontal cortex.
Soon enough you can give them algebra. Get them doing your kids' homework.
So you don't have to.
Do you get dragged down the road by your dog?
Do you wish your dog walked nicely by your side?

On a dog walk.
Or.
Instead of a dog walk.
This was Cody's first time.
Turns out he's a natural.

STOP WHISTLE.
It's not just for shooting. For gundog training.
Also useful on a walk. If a dog ahead is on a lead.
But you have to train it.
And maintain your training.

Online Whistle Course. Coming soon...
Sit. Hold. Wait.
She's found the pheasant. Retrieved it.
Now we sit, hold and wait.
So she doesn't release too early.
Giving verbal feedback.
Letting her know she's doing well.
Using origin to get a better dog.
Why scentwork works.
Problem-solving boosts confidence.
Luna is nervous around people.
Particularly men.
So we go Mantrailing.
A man runs off and hides (me), dog has to use their nose to track and find the man.
Creating positive associations.
Man equals reward.
