What motivates your dog?
When teaching a new skill/behaviour it’s important to use a food reward until they have a great understanding of what you are asking them. You can then move on to toys as the motivator and reward when asking for the learnt behaviour. Here Meeps ball is what is driving him to perform a fancy heel work position whilst he warms up for a competition. #chuckitball #obediencetraining #focus #heelworktraining #poodle #consistency
Stay with a recall to finish.
Don’t always recall them from the stay, it’s important to go back and reward to reinforce the behaviour otherwise the will anticipate being called and break the stay.
We then worked on how we can improve the meet and greets, after a few reps we were able to get closer than this with no jumping up. Good boy Raffi
Raffi needed some help with getting over excited when seeing his favourite people.

A basic level of obedience is needed as a foundation for trick training. I also offer teaching obedience, sit,down,stay, heel and more.
Sniff sniff
Just 20 minutes of sniffing in the long grass is the equivalent to an hours walk. Allowing your dogs sniff time is super beneficial to their wellbeing, not only does it stimulate their natural senses but it can relieve stress and anxiety.
