todays training session with buster!
while it may look like we arenât doing a lot but in reality we are doing so much!!
firstly learning to sit on the scales will help in future with vet visits and the foundations of place stay. sitting and letting him work out how to relax with the world going around him is a great method of socialising, learning to be neutral in all environments and seeing things going by and learning that they arenât something to be scared of!
as a golden retriever buster will have a natural drive for birds so starting young with being neutral around them will help in future with not chasing wildlife!

todays walk and training session with buster!

we played some fetch today! which is something we donât do often!
you may ask âwhy donât you play fetch often? my dog loves fetch!â
the answer is because in a pack of dogs and a singular high value item it could be very dangerous if clear rules arenât established before structured fetch begins!
what are the rules? iâll tell you!
no sn**ching: if im holding the toy by my side you arenât allowed to sn**ch it from me, if im not engaging in the toy, you canât either!
no stealing: if one dog gets the toy, no other dog is to steal that toy from said dog!
waiting patiently: fetch is all about that chase drive so sitting or standing patiently without crowding me and possibly causing a spat is very important!
no hoarding: if a dog gets a toy and they start goofing around too much and playing keep away once i get the toy back the game is over for the walk.
no roughhousing: this is to ensure nobody gets tackled to the ground which could easily escalate so absolutely no playing silly buggers with fetch!
all of these rules are controlled by verbal commands and corrections! i know the word corrections can sound scary but a simple âaht-noâ is all it is! they listen well we continue fetch, they donât? game over!!!
this is a long one! so i hope you enjoyed reading about how i manage fetch with multiple dogs! itâs a lot more complicated than one might think đč

hey everyone!!
sorry for lack of posting! i had to make an emergency trip to hamilton yesterday after being told about my new foster Krumble!
he was being taken to the pound where he was going to be destroyed and a friend of mine happened to be there and the owner was happy to surrender him to me! so i was making very hasty plans on how i was going to make this work so heâd get to live life and find a new home!
so meet krumble! heâs a 6yo lab mix thatâs spent his entire life outside! youâll be seeing him around a lot in the work photos while i train him up and get him ready for a new home!!
all photos from monday and tuesday will go up with todays photos!!

am i being sacrificed or is it just circle time
i feel like the best way to show off this mish mash group is a vlog!
maybe iâll order some waders đč
a nice day for a little bit of everything! off leash, on leash and sniffing around for treats!
âwhat happens if you see others on the trails?â typically we donât! but the times we do like today we have two options! a: recall, leash up and pull off to the side then continue on leash until we canât see or hear anything! or b: recall and pull off to the side if thereâs a big enough spot and do a treat scatter and play or train in the field for 10-15 minutes until iâm certain nobody is around!! we did this today!! itâs always important to be respectful of others and keeping dogs under control is important!!
i think this remix fits them well; slightly unhinged but overall really good
some t swift on a tuesday walk? i think so
friday in the sun!! not the best footage as i have tyne on leash post surgery
friday group has grown by a few đč
todays walks!
i do love me some abba
love this job with all my heart đ look at these cuties
yesterdays group stay across a little river
long time no vlog!! today was a super fun tect park trip!!
wednesdays always make for a great day
