🐶Do you want to play with your dog, but find it frustrating because they won't drop the toy? You then feel you have to chase them or bargain with them.
OR
🐶Does your dog steal items, and then it becomes a game or a conflict?
Or
🐶Do you see the problems of guarding starting to brew (evading you, hiding with an item, rapid consumption of said item or even aggression)?
Or
🐶May be you have no issues, but have gundog ambitions and just want to get a really good retrieve.
New class at our Chesham venue:
Inspired by the hundreds of resource guarding cases I have seen over the years, or dogs and their owners who want to play, but don't manage to because the dog won't bring the toy back!
This course looks at all things retrieving, and building a foundation of trust.

I just wanted to share this fab treat dispensing toy. It us called Roolo by PLAY9
www.play9.co.uk
I love that it is made from a soft rubber type material, so feeding is no longer accompanied with crashes and bangs, but a gentle rolling sound. Neo loves it and enjoys rolling ut about for each meal. I would highly recommend.

🐾These sessions are for existing customers only, and are perfect if you struggle with recall and keeping your dog's attention whilst around other dogs. It is also great for socialisation purposes.

They are also a great opportunity to meet other like-minded owners, who may become future walking buddies that also want to instil good training and behaviour! These walks aren't suitable for reactive dogs.

Scentwork Beginners Course at our lovely new venue in Chesham! 🤩🐕
Our Scentwork Beginners Course will get you started with teaching your dog odour discrimination, independent searching and passive indication.
Scent-work is fantastic for:
⭐️ Bonding and team building - You will learn how to handle your dog so your dog views you as an asset, not a hindrance to his search
⭐️ Understanding the subtleties of your dogs scenting abilities and how to read his body language
⭐️ Confidence building - scent-work stimulates the reward centres in brain resulting in endorphin and dopamine release. The search for some dogs is more rewarding than the reward at the end. For this reason, it is great for rehabilitation.
⭐️ Improve focus - for those speedy busy pooches, this game will help them learn to slow down and approach the problem in a more cognitive manner
⭐️ We also offer progression courses and the opportunity to compete or achieve levels of achievement at our Scentwork UK trials

Advanced Dog Training Class.
In our latest class, we had the pleasure of witnessing the incredible skills of our advanced group of dogs. Four remarkable dogs demonstrated their expertise by maintaining a sit-stay position. Meanwhile, one exceptional dog, off-lead, skillfully weaved through the stationary dogs. This event highlighted the beautiful connection between each dog and their handler, emphasizing the trust and communication developed through training.
