Rosie the Collie comes regularly for 1-2-1 training. After some focus games and other foundation learning, she enjoyed some Freework, and the Sensory Obstacle Course. In Freework there are no cues and no luring, she makes all her own choices. The Sensory Obstacle Course also offers different tactile and sniffing experiences, at different levels for exploration.
These sessions offer the human and their dog quality time together, and the opportunity for the human to observe their dogs body language in a relaxed environment.
Willow and Dibble.... doing so well!
Another lovely 1-2-1 with Willow the Goldador. Willow has been coming since a puppy.....and now we are up to week 7 of Nice Lead Walking. We have been working together on and off lead in a low distraction area, with a high rate of reinforcement.
Yesterday, we introduced Dibble but at a distance.....Willow likes food more than Dibble 😆
Well done to both for practicing so much outside of the 1-2-1 sessions and are doing so well!

Did you know.....
A dog has 300 million olfactory receptors, whereas a human has six million.....which means that a dog can smell half a teaspoon of sugar in an Olympic sized swimming pool! By comparison, some Humans can smell if there is a teaspoon of sugar in their cup of tea.

Alfie is so good when his mouth is shut 😆.....and little Crumb is getting better!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pattern Games!
Pattern Games are easy, predictable and simple training games to play with your dog in order to lower arousal, exitement or anxiety.
My collies are prone to over-arousal, so I incorporate specific pattern games (or a series of them) into their training sessions.
My Online School also includes them in each of the courses; Reframing Reactivity, Thriving Teen or Puppy Power. If you are interested in enrolling onto any of the courses my contact details: Mobile: 07510547287

Today, Honey enjoyed her "Sniffy Dog" Enrichment Session in the woodland themed Sensory Garden. She loved the novel scents that were collected from Frensham Common, Surrey.! But the sheep fleece seemed to be a big success....loving the smell and rolling in it 😆
