Jazz and Jett had their first adventure walk today, super excited when I picked them up. I figured a run at the park to burn off some energy and to check those recalls would be a great start. Then it was long lines on for a little explore around, I'm certain they enjoyed themselves and I can say their recalls were billiant .

Fatigue starts long before your dog is laying down panting heavily, squinting and with their tongue on the ground …
Understanding and recognizing early signs of fatigue is key to keeping our dogs successful in training, and their bodies safe.
The longer you train, the higher the chance that your dog will experience:
🏋️ physical fatigue (tired body)
🤯 mental fatigue (tired mind - too much information)
❤️‍🩹 emotional fatigue (tired mind - too much stress/excitement)
Or often a combination of these!
The subtle signs can be easy to miss. And if we don’t stop training when our dog first tells us they had enough, things usually go downhill fast …
Be observant and look out for the following:

1️⃣ Disengagement
If your dog has been happy and enthusiastic during your session and suddenly disengages, sniffs the ground or wanders off, chances are they had enough. Do not keep pushing them to train … it will likely not be successful.
2️⃣ Overarousal
Your dog was in a focused state of mind, but suddenly “spins out of control”? Even though over-excitement may look like excess energy to us, it can actually be a sign that the dog needs a break! Some dogs “stress up” (become MORE crazy as they get tired).
3️⃣ Fidgeting
Your dog was doing well (for example by staying in a Sit Stay), but suddenly starts adding “random” behaviors? Stepping in place, scratching, sniffing themselves etc. are all signs that your dog is getting tired.
4️⃣ Regression
Your dog was doing well at the beginning of the training session, but seems to actually get *worse* as time goes on? This is a very common and often overlooked sign of fatigue.
We see it especially in reactive dog training, where dogs are fine at the beginning of a session, but exposure near their threshold and trigger stacking makes them more and more stressed throughout.
Don’t ignore these first signs. If you try to push through it, your dog will not magically recover (mentally, physically or emotionally) … but is much more likely to keep making mistakes, rehearse unwanted behaviors or even get injured!
Which of the above signs of fatigue do you see most often in your dog?

Ruby's first adventure with Shaye who said "hi"then was on her way and Zeena who politely had a sniff then said "I don't want to be your friend just yet ".It's great when dogs read others body language and give them space, so everyone basically just keept to themselves today. Rocket and Ruby though have developed a friendship and did have their normal play session. 😘

Monday energies with Ruby, Abbey and Cooper so much fun as always with these happy three. Very busy indeed out there exploring the environment, great recalls and checking in with me. Miss Abbey did have her hunting ears on a couple of times but Ruby and Cooper were good roll models and when she saw treats being given out she then thought, maybe it's a good thing to stay close by.🐕🐕🐕

Afternoon adventure with my buddies Cooper and Abby. It was hot out there so was nice to be walking in the shade of the trees. It was good too for the pups to just do some quiet exploring but of course there were moments of the zoomies.

Just Ruby and Rocket this morning, Cooper and Abbey were having a break after their busy weekend. Queen and King posing for a photo on a log, so cute. It was nice seeing the interaction between them and look at that play session at the end of our adventure, lots of fun for them.

I think Abbey and Cooper were happy we got a walk in before the rain came down. Explored in a couple of different environments today with a break in between for a treat scramble, now that I know they did enjoy.

Adventure time. Exploring and staying with the pack.

Happy to be together again 🥰

More Fun in the Sun

There's always water out there some where

What a beautiful camping spot we are at now. Shaye and Zeena are enjoying the swimming while Astra is happy just to have a paddle. Video 2

Spring is in the air

Welcome Mr Jim it's going to be a fun filled week of adventures with you. What a sunny morning for our first one.

Enjoying the sunshine on our adventure

Alby showing off his weaving, clever boy 😄 Another video coming soon

Awesome Day hanging with these pups

Zeena working on self control, waiting until given her release word which is OK. Putting treats on her paws for added challenge then moving away from her to make it extra. What a very good girl and her focus on me is awesome.
