Great way to get your future show dog no stress experience before they are ready or eligible for the Big time. Also for new handlers to learn the ropes.

Bea's day at work.

We all have some in built survival instincts, that can become so strong they are overwhelming. Sometimes they keep us safe and sometimes they are extreme and turn into phobias where we feel like we are in serious danger when we aren’t.

It makes sense for animals to exhibit more caution. They have had more predators and dangers for longer. They go through fear periods to support their independent periods in order to keep them safe.

To be held by someone and loose choice can already create panic. Then to add something they are unsure of must just be overwhelming.

It might feel like we can help a fear by showing them everything is okay, by applying pressure. But this can damage the relationship and leave your dog or puppy no choice but to lash out.
Instead offer space, choice and an escape route. As if the lead were never there.

For choice and control builds confidence, and tolerance to stress, as well as showing them they have our support when they need it.

Went to Springfield this weekend for the cluster. Showed Bea in 4-6 puppies. No one in her class but in a herding group of twelve or more puppies each day she got a group 4 both days. Not a bad start for my baby girl.
