Small group Walk 🐾
Lillie, Pip, Sascha, P**i

These girls had a wonderful adventure walk at a fun park in Newlands, where we meet up with Touring Tails and all the dogs had a ball of a time! Lots of exploring and puddle fun. They enjoyed running in & out of the muddy creek. Puddle galore and they loved it!

Afternoon Solo with Pip 🐾

25/06/2024

Pip & Sascha 🐾

Sascha and Pip had a wonderful first meeting, showing great composure and calmness around each other. We introduced them slowly, allowing for plenty of sniffing and exploration. To reinforce their good behavior, we practiced sits and waits, (In & out of the van) and they both excelled! It was a delight to see them interact so harmoniously 🤩

Clifford's Monday walk 🐾
What a successful walk we had! Clifford confidently entered the van/crate without hesitation, eager to start his adventure! This is a significant milestone, given his previous apprehension towards the crate/van. We further reinforced his progress by practicing self-control exercises, where he calmly waited in the crate with the gate open, earning rewards for his composure. The highlight of the walk was a relaxed, pull-free stroll through the bush! Clifford's advancements are truly impressive, and we'll continue to nurture and build on these skills. Well done Clifford ☺️🙌🏼

P**i & Louie’s walk 🐾✨
These 2 had a wonderful time playing chase with each other! They showed awesome sits & waits and we made sure to work on some recall while they were playing ☺️

Nyros Tuesday walk 🐾✨
Here are some pics of Nyro on his outting! You can see him being such a good boy showing his great patience! Waiting patiently before hopping out of the van for his walk! ☺️

Pip & Lillies Tuesday walk 🐾✨
These 2 girls did exceptionally well on their morning walk, where we had an awesome time offlead & onlead. Whilst they were offlead we worked on grasping the “back” command. I like to use this command when the dogs are a little too far ahead (especially when a corner is ahead where I can’t see) and I like them to come back to me to check in. It can also be used while they’re on lead if they are pulling ahead too much.
While offlead we also worked on staying close to me, which they were so very happy to do so! Getting rewarded with praise & treats for their awesome engagement today!!

Excellent girls! 👏🏼

Late afternoon solo walk with Miss Pip 🐾✨

28/05/2024

Group walk with Pip, Lillie, & Cleveland 🐾✨
Today's walk we took it nice and slow, focusing on savoring the sights and scents around us. We took our time, working on some lead pulling by encouraging a more relaxed pace. While it took a little bit for them to adjust, they soon settled into walking beside me, earning rewards for every moment they stayed by my side & checked in with me, with a loose lead. It was a great exercise in patience and mindfulness, and I'm proud of how they’re doing all together!

Nyro & Louie’s walk 🐾✨
Today I introduced these 2 boys together and they did incredibly well spending time with each other on their walk together. They were very neutral towards one another which was awesome!
