Thursday pack was crackers today but did amazing with their listening ears. Lots of zooms and play going on. Mud puddles were a big favorite today with the sun we got!

Wednesday pack had lots of energy and not quite as many brain cells today. We cycled through working on our newer dogs off leash and added some extra on leash structure for some of the pack. We got into the groove of things by the end of the walk though!

Tuesday pack had some wild weather today. They coped really well with it, and still had plenty of fun!

Thursday pack hit the beach today! We were pretty energetic and ready to go today but listening ears were amazing! There was lots of work on impulse control but plenty of swimming and racing along the beach!

Wednesday pack hit the farm today. We welcomed Frankie into the pack and she's slotted in beautifully! There was much herding dog energy to begin with, so we worked on appropriate chase behaviors minimizing nipping and other rude chase behaviors. We were then joined by .nz for a bit and everyone did really well welcoming them in!

Tuesday pack hit the farm today because I'm sick. Leo got some muzzle free time because we didn't have to worry about other dogs coming into the pack and he aced it! We also welcomed Joey, who's homestayed with me before, to the walking pack. He slotted in perfectly! And we also have Brooks joining us too who is my latest foster dog.

The dogs all had a blast zooming around and playing. We even got some unusual friendships blossoming!

Wednesday pack welcomed Lucan from and he slotted in beautifully. This bunch of water babies were in and out all the puddles making sure to show Lucan how it was done. We worked on individual recalls and impulse control around energy which everyone excelled at!

04/09/2024

Frankie's solo session went well! She remembered everything from last week and learned a whole bunch more this week! Though her impulse control around high energy dogs needs some work we will definitely keep building on those foundations we've put in place on our walks!

03/09/2024

Tuesday pack had an epic beach adventure with they worked hard on that impulse control to earn some superb free zooming time! Everyone had a blast and mostly had our best listening ears on despite the high energy!

Mud carnage in Thursdays pack! We worked hard on our energy and releasing from commands with a clear mind. Really proud of them!

Wednesday pack worked hard today. After a super exciting beach trip lat week, they were ready and raring to go. Our impulse control was at an all time low so we worked on that and checking in with me before racing off to exciting opportunities. Loads of brain work makes some nice tired dogs

We met the gorgeous Miss Frankie today. She'll be joining our Wednesday pack shortly. She did amazing with her first solo walk. All she really needs building on is our relationship and a bit of confidence building!

Tuesday pack had a super social session today. They met up with multiple packs from and .nz at different points and did amazing! We have a fair few socially awkward dogs in this pack who struggle with meeting new dogs appropriately. Yet the all did amazing and aced it with minimal guidance needed from me!

Today we met Lucen from he's going to be joining pack walks in a few weeks and he's just the sweetest little marshmallow you ever did see

Wednesday pack was full of beans today. And at such an exciting place our ears were switched firmly off. It took a bit of work to turn them all on again but we got there on the end and everyone had a blast playing in the surf and zooming to their hearts content!

20/08/2024

Fantastic Tuesday pack were joined by today and aced their walking skills. There was a little bit of pushing boundries with a new face around but they pulled back really nicely and we got to show her some new facts and ways to apply her new knowledge to her skills! And they still had a blast zooming, jumping in and out of water holes and playing chase!

15/08/2024

Thursday pack practiced some impulse control around the pack shot and breaking that when ever I said anything. We also welcomed Boogie back after some time off and will be slowly working her back into the pack. Listening ears were in point bar the pack shot and they managed to completely wear themselves out!

14/08/2024

We worked hard with the Wednesday pack today! Lots of individual work and creating a lot more clarity around commands. There were a few struggles, but many many triumphs! Super proud of this pack today!

13/08/2024

Tuesday pack was fantastic today! We worked on some fun things today like our body awareness and confidence building. Showing some of our more unsure dogs how to jump and climb on logs. We also worked on our high energy listening ears which were switched pretty solidly on!

08/08/2024

Thursday pack was awesome today. A little bit lax in our impulse control but still listening fairly well! There was lots of mud puddle hopping. Stick games and of course a big swim to wash off as much of the grot as we could!

07/08/2024

Wednesday pack had the most beautiful walk. Everyone was super engaged. Listened at the drop of a hat and even had some dogs start pulling over for the public before I noticed them!

06/08/2024

Tuesday pack had a muddy, rainy one today! We were pretty solid with our listening ears today and got a lot of freedom to zoom between the trees and have a good time. The rain was a bit cold, so of course we went swimming to "warm up" 😂

01/08/2024

Thursday pack had an epic adventure with there was plenty of zooms to be had and practice around other packs and tight follows through windy paths!

31/07/2024

Wednesday pack today had a lovely walk, we welcomed Luca, who I've worked with previously into the pack, and it was like he'd always been here! We saw a few things we need to work on today. Namely having other packs walk past after the pack rushing at us the other week. Several of the dogs were pretty uncomfortable when a lovely under control pack walked past. So that's something we will be working on lots the next few weeks!

30/07/2024

Tuesday pack was a drizzly walk today. But that never stops these guys from having fun! I'm really stoked with these guys energy and behavior at the beginning of the walks and their responses to verbal markers!

25/07/2024

Thursday pack linked up with one of .nz packs and had a blast meeting a pack of dogs we've never met before. Everyone was super respectful of the other pack and although there was some boundry pushing we were all trying our hardest to be on our best behavior and got many compliments from the public!
