What do these dogs have in common?

They are all similar in age, in that adolescent stage.

All the teams worked really hard and made progress.

✨In Home Training with Deuce✨
Puppy Development Program
Oh my she has grown in the last fortnight, today’s session we re visited “place” training, introduced a leave cue.

“Training a ‘leave it’ cue is a game-changer, especially when your puppy is convinced the laundry basket is their personal toy chest! 🧺🐾 Most puppies are naturally curious, and they love to grab anything within reach (especially socks!).

✨In Home training with Lenny✨
All together now Awww ♥️
Lenny is a 14 weeks old Golden and is very sweet, she actually smiled when I arrived. Lenny will be joining us for Puppy Camp-in a fortnight (Gunner will be so happy to have a puppy camper).

To day was a meet & greet and do some foundation training with crate training, hand targeting, and LLW prep exercises.

It was a long meet & greet, Lenny had lots of naps while we chatted and we took the opportunity when she woke up to put some training to the test.

See you soon Lenny 😍

✨In Home training with Ace✨
Life Skills Program

Ace is now 5mths and with saying that we have a commitment young handler ensuring her and Ace are off to the best start by continuing on with more sessions growing together as a team.

What I am impressed by this young handler is that she goes to school, has a part time job 3 days a week in the evening (which pays for Ace education & everything else) and trains daily.

✨In Home training with Cheezu ✨
Cheezu and I have worked together previously, he completed our life skill’s foundation program early last year, today’s follow up was to look at his new house and help design an outdoor area while his folks are at work.
We also covered place training for when guests come into the home, food enrichment for when he is left alone.

If anyone knows my Gunner personally, Cheezu has a similar temperament, goes from 0 - 10 in a second and tips over in arousal, he’s made some progress but he is still an adolescence and needs further training, he will get there in the right settings.

✨In Home training with Hodu✨
Initial consult with Hodu this morning, they are expecting little pitter patter of 2 feet later on this year, it’s a good time to strengthen some training.

LLW was on the agenda but we also covered the importance of place training for the future and laying down the foundations now.

We also looked at backyard enrichment including how to set up a secure area for an adolescence dog.

We welcome Alfie he is doing our Gundog program, 1st up was looking at where their foundations are at.

✨Doubao & Lily✨
My morning started with Doubao & Lily with a in home consult, we saw these 2 early last year separately for various struggles, it was a pleasure to re visit these two together and see some of the progress they had made.

Today’s session was on place training together with introducing a release cue, name recognition and some duration to that cue.

Impulse control around food for Doubao and management strategies for living on a lifestyle block with stock.

These guys did really well 👏

🎉 Ace Update! 🎉

Ace is 16 weeks today and doing so well! 🐾 In today’s session, we focused on some great management techniques for when guests come to visit, and how to make her space feel like home. 🏡 We also spent some time outside, working on enrichment activities to keep her mind sharp and engaged. 🌳✨

Plus, we touched on some important nutrition tips.

We’re excited to share that Ace has signed on for another 4 sessions, and she and her handler are making awesome progress together! 👏 Keep up the great work, Ace! 🌟

🌟 Margot’s Training Update! 🌟

Margot had an amazing training session! 🐾 At 17/18 weeks, she’s really showing off her skills in the gundog puppy program. We worked on her recall away from food and a stuffed decoy dog (so proud of her focus!) 🦮 And we wrapped it up with some dummy duck retrieves – she’s truly a natural!

This was her last session for now, but we can’t wait to continue her progress soon! Keep it up, Margot! ❤️

What a coaching session may look like depending on what we are working on. Marlow is a 6-month-old GR he has pulling on lead well rehearsed + lack of impulse control with, particularly social triggers (people/dogs). Our 3 previous session we have been laying down some foundations + confidence building. Now it’s time to put everything together.

Team Zieger, they have come along way since the beginning of class, more engagement on his handler which was huge improvement + tidied up his LLW, impulse control around other dogs.

Team Blaze ending his 7 week course in something he loves to do and bred for, Team Blaze are an amazing team to watch and I admire what they do to keep our country safe from pests.
