Unlikely friends!
Kylo isn't a massive player and Apollo can be too full on (and seem intimidating due to his size) but these two have become good friends over the time together ❤️

Next puppy courses

Next set of puppy courses are starting the beginning of August at either 3rd Weston scout hut (Monday evening 6-7pm) or Worle community centre (Saturdays 2-3pm)

All information is online and you get a digital puppy booklet, certificate and rosette for completion as well as advancing onto further training

I am also going to be running my ongoing sensitive soul classes (not workshop) from the beginning of August as ongoing support & training for those dogs who want to work around other dogs but need more space and distance than a normal class can provide. This is a follow on from the reactivity course ☺️

More information to come soon 😊🔜

Had a lovely time at download, not as good as previous years but a nice break regardless. Got a bit sunburnt though 😂
Then return home to a heatwave holding off work for a few days. Least I get to recover from download a bit 😂
Though hunters mad he's come home to less walks due to the heat 😂
As I'm sure everyone is aware we have a heatwave coming the next few days so already messaged re walks/services regarding this

What socialisation SHOULD be
Socialisation isn't about letting your dog greet or interact with as many things as possible. Socialisation is about teaching the dog to be as neutral as possible around distractions and to make these things a non-event.
Obie is a typical young adolescent male who loves other dogs and although he comes with me on my group walks twice a week. He also does training walks with me on Mondays to help socialise and work on lead walking.
He's doing so well ❤️

Introduction to our workshops and programmes;
Workshops and programmes we run are to help build on specific areas and to help hone in on specific behaviours in either a group setting or 1-1 basis. They are a set number of weeks, the only class setting that is an ongoing class is our 'sensitive soul' classes.

Reactivity;
Working on reactive behaviours in a small group setting focusing on management, calmness, boundaries and pattern games.

Gundog;
Working on gundog specific behaviours and enrichment this course aims to help provide the foundations for gundog (and non-gundog) breeds with retrievals, whistle cues and place training

Scentwork; COMING SOON
Utilising the power of the dogs nose and their natural instinct to help with building confidence, building calmer behaviour and enrichment.

Recall & Lead walking; COMING SOON
focusing on building a dogs engagement, lead walking, recall and overall general obedience training specific to lead walking & recall. One of the hardest things for dogs to learn and master.

Separation anxiety & aggression; COMING SOON
Both of these separate 1-1 programmes will be to specifically address either aggressive behaviours or separation anxiety.

Puppy & Obedience 1-1 programme;
For those that can't make the puppy classes we offer the same course in a 1-1 setting or those that have older dogs that want to work more on their general obedience outside of a class setting

Reactivity & behavioural 1-1;
Working on generalised behaviour struggles as well as reactivity behaviours where the class setting is not feasible or suitable for the dog.
