Lara turns 7 on Saturday, we celebrated with a awesome forest walk on a bush track we haven’t done in ages🥳
Our friend Luna came over today for some training. The homestays were happy to help out, in return for some treats😂
It was so hot out there today but we managed to find some shade 🥵 Have a great long weekend ✌️
Little @tailsofstevielicks is only 12 weeks old. She’s going to be coming twice a week for some social time and training. Isn’t she just adorable 🥰
Slow and steady for @pepper_.the._pupper. No pulling on lead today and less anxious🙌 We got up to the motorway before she couldn’t deal anymore and wanted to turn around. So we sat, watched, listened until she was not so scared to carry on. The best way to work with a anxious dog is time and patience 🐾
The lab boys celebrated their birthdays today🥳 Rusty turned 3 yesterday and Cooper the big 1 today. Cooper being the newest member has been home staying this week which has given us lots of time to get him used to pack walks and has amazed me how well he has done. He had his first off lead time today even with his OG friend Buddie and new bff Rusty, he managed to control his excitement and did amazing with his recall. Coops will be joining our Wednesday and Friday packs from next week 🙌
@pepper_.the._pupper had her first training session today. She is scared/anxious around loud noises and shut down(stopped walking, lost all engagement, didn’t want treats) when we went past a building site. She is ball obsessed so we did some positive reinforcement with a ball, just sitting outside the building site. Over the next few weeks we will be working on desensitising Pepper to loud noises 🥎
Before Christmas, we were working with puppy Cooper to have some consistency with the Family training and to get him up to speed to join pack walks. He had a little bit of time off getting the snip but now he is home staying with us for a week. This is the perfect opportunity to smash out the last of his training. Yesterday we had a social session with our friends from @wag.and.wander to see how he would get along with meeting new dogs and today was his first “pack walk”, easing him in slowly with a street walk with the homestays. Because he is home staying during the week, homestays join pack walks. He is doing amazing, we just need to tweak his recall which is something we work on during pack walks anyway. Well done dude👊🏼
Ella from Down With The K9's joined us today. I walked Ella for a few weeks at the beginning of the year, it was so nice to see her again and for her to recognise me🥰
The weather was a bit off and on this morning, but we managed to have some good weather for our last adventure before Christmas🎄
Wednesday crew celebrated two 3rd birthdays today! Timmy’s birthday yesterday and Zola’s on Christmas day 🥳
