🌞 It’s a scorching 30°C today, so training is taking a backseat while we focus on keeping cool and comfortable.

Even the most energetic pups need a break to stay healthy and happy in this heat. Today’s priority? Plenty of water, shady spots, and some chilled downtime with my best friends.

Remember, when temperatures hit 28°C or above, lessons will be postponed to protect your dog’s wellbeing. Between 26–27°C, we’ll take extra precautions with water breaks and your consent.

Stay safe and hydrated, everyone! 💧🐾

“Adolescence. The age where many dogs lose their homes — not because they’re bad, but because they’re changing. Just like Sheldon.”

At 5 months old (week from 6 months), Sheldon knows the stop whistle.
He knows sit. He knows down.
We’ve built these behaviours with care, consistency, and trust.
But now? Things are… different.

He forgets. He ignores.
He wanders off mid-stay like he has forgotten what he was doing.

It’s not because he’s stubborn or “testing me.”
It’s because his brain and body are growing faster than his ability to focus.
This is the critical stage — the one that’s make or break for so many dogs.

But we don’t quit here.
We slow down, reset, and re-teach.
If he breaks a stay, I bring him back.
He does it again. And again, if needed.
Not out of punishment — but out of calm, patient repetition.

Because good dogs aren’t born — they’re built.
And adolescence is where we lay the bricks.

To everyone going through this stage right now — don’t panic. Don’t give up.
Lean in. Stay kind. Train anyway.

Wish us luck 💪🐾

Here’s my young Springer pup showing off his stop whistle training 💨

We’re still early in the journey, but this moment right here turning on a dime and holding the sit under temptation is a small win I’m proud of.

He’s my first ever spaniel, and I’m training him with the goal of becoming a future gundog. The sunset made it look even more magical 🌅 Now to keep building that focus, reliability, and trust 💪

🎯 Training a gundog isn’t just about commands it’s about connection, clarity, and timing.

Eddie the French Bulldog’s story is a true testament to patience and understanding in dog training. By respecting Eddie’s pace and curiosity, we’ve nurtured his confidence and transformed his walks into sessions filled with mutual enjoyment. Now, Eddie and his owner share delightful strolls, a bond strengthened by trust and companionship.

Stage one; Let Eddie explore the environment how he wants to build confidence and forward motion.
Stage two; Focus and engagement training.

If you’re looking to achieve the same positive change with your dog, regardless of the walking gear you use, we have a spot opening up next week—don’t wait, as the next one might only come in 3 to 4 weeks!

Discover the joy of a confident, happy dog with Optimum Canine. Contact us to book your session and experience the difference our approach can make.

It’s all about communication, focus, and engagement. These aren’t just techniques; they’re the foundation of a deep, understanding relationship. See the difference in Monty’s demeanor and leash manners for yourself!
