This always cracks me up. Love how this little bombproof baby sleeps through this. Must burn a lot of dinners and he’s become accustomed to it 😂
Rio’s back up to his plank. Learning so many skills in this exercise!
13 week old Rio doing a ‘chin rest’ with a food distraction. He doesn’t take his chin off my hand even when the hand with food in it is lowered beside him.
Out of sight stays at Saturday training. Sensibly, the handlers with dogs who are newer to stays stayed in sight.
Some of the Canine Good Citizen class practicing recalling their dogs past each other. 👏👏👏
I put this up for my Puppy course Stage 2. A few of you were asking last night about how to get your puppy to bring stuff back to you and I was telling you about how I use the chin rest exercise to help with this. This is the video I said I’d put up for you 😀

Our first Test A run. Not perfect by any means but am overall pretty happy with this wee girls rounds this weekend. She has only been in the ring once before so she handled the environment really well,
(Better than her mother 😂). More work to do before Nationals but was a good day out and lovely to see some familiar faces. Thanks Jenny and Gareth for having us to stay in your beautiful home. Really loved our evening of platters and entertainment xo
Impulse Control at the Gate:
If you turn the sound on you will notice I don’t give these girls any verbal commands as such. I don’t ask them to sit or wait. My hand goes on the gate and this is their cue to sit. The gate wont open until they are both sitting. When the gate is opened they know not to move until they hear their name and are rewarded for waiting.

Retrieve Progress. He has just learned to bring his collar to my hand which you will see at the start of this exercise. (It’s something I teach most of my dogs so I can get hold of them if I need to without it being a problem for them. We are moving on to holding and retrieving different objects now. This tube was quite difficult to hold onto because of its shape. It’s soft and would have been easy to pierce but he has a nice grip on it without being too hard with his mouth. Pretty happy with where he is at with this!
