Visit for Nala this week! 💕

She had a go on the puzzle feeder and snuffle mat and we also worked on sit, down and stand positions and adding distance to them! She had the best time 🥰

Shady, early walk for Diesel this week! 🖤

We made sure to go out before it got too hot and did lots of treasure hunts and low energy training in shady, grassy areas to get that brain working 🧠 he loved it 🥰

As the weather has been hotter recently, I’ve been substituting a lot of walks for enrichment visits so I thought I’d show everyone what me and the doggies get up to! ☀️🐾

☀️Sniffing - this is a low intensity activity that stimulates the brain and also has a calming effect! I use snuffle mats or grass to scatter treats or I’ll do a treasure hunt in the house and hide treats for the doggies to sniff out!

☀️Licking - licky mats or kongs that have been frozen are a great way to help the doggies cool down and it has a calming effect too!

☀️Training - I often teach low intensity behaviours (like a hand target) and work on proofing the behaviour but if it’s not too hot I’ll do things like weave or middle. The doggies love learning new things 🥰

☀️Puzzle games - this is great for working their brains and tiring them out without too much physical activity!

☀️Playing in the pool - any doggies that have a paddling pool might have a little splash to cool off

☀️ Cuddles - all the doggies love having a cuddle and a belly rub 🥰

Please make sure you’re walking your dogs in the early morning or late on an evening in hot weather, it’s so much safer and your dogs will thank you! ☀️🐾

This mornings group 🥰 they all have such floofy tails 💕

Dudley has been enjoying getting to know Tula and Barnaby a bit better and we are working on him developing a better off switch while around other dogs!
Border collies are notoriously full of energy so I will be working on getting him to channel that into behaviours such as sniffing and little training sessions as well as appropriate play with the other doggies 🥰
Tula and Barnaby are such chilled out doggies now, even though they still have lots of fun, so I’m sure they will help show him the ropes! 🐾🐶

Very excited for our next set of puppy classes tomorrow 🐶🐾

👋 Tomorrow is the first week of the Puppy Perfection Programme!

6 weeks of pure heaven for me and The Dog Walker - Hull (Ellie)

💜Week one we delve into Enrichment, puppy zoomies, biting and general land 🦈 behaviours.

🩵Week two we look at laying our hands on the dogs, doing vet checks, making sure you know what to look out for in times of emergency.

💙Week three is food and play manners - making sure we keep our fingers where they belong (No, not up your nose 😂) I meant on your hand, not in the puppies mouth.

💚Week four is Recall, teaching you some awesome tips to get your puppies to respond wherever they are

❤️Week five Loose lead walking, making sure you can have stress free walks.

🩷Week six all about stays, waits and recapping!

If you would like to join us there is ONE SPACE left, starting tomorrow at 9am, I do realise this isn't the most appropriate time of day, but you could always kick your husband and children out of bed, send them and you go have a quiet brew by yourself ☕🫖 (Just an idea😉)
