Who likes handling slimy balls?
No … me neither 🥹
Any training or retraining is a process..
Repetitions create neural connections and ultimately pathways which become habit..
Drills before skills. Don’t ever be too keen to move on before the foundations are set. Set them up to succeed always 💕

This pup is everything a Gun Dog should be!
With that comes great intelligence and a need to have “biological itch” scratched.. to be able to express natural and genetically programmed behaviours..
She gets bored easily, doesn’t suffer fools gladly and creates her own entertainment usually at the expense of her human family..
But when that drive is set up for her to learn the rules and boundaries she is in her element 🙌
14 weeks old and learning to retrieve to hand, with a “wait” thrown in and a focus on handler.. as opposed to stealing things and running off and parading for all she’s worth..
Know your breed and what drives them and the rest is easy 💕
Silence is deafening.. 🧏♀️
Off the chart Barking and hysteria replaced with a calmer demeanour.
If you know about super excited, over the top Shnauzer barking.. You know this is marvellous 🤩
Great work guys.. now on to outdoor reactivity 😀
Ear splitting barking and squealing WAS the order of the day for this little Shnauzer and her housemate ( also a Shnauzer). This breed is in my top 3 for loving the sound of their own voice🥹the difference on arrival for our second session was unbelievable 💥
Common sense good people.. common sense! #vetnurse #dogtrainer #commonsense #advocate #enjoythesun #keepdogscool
The sun is out ☀️ a real cause for celebration in the Uk right now!
Lovely to see so many off lead, well behaved dogs out this morning in the local park… All just doing their own thing with their humans 🙌
He’s a young adolescent working breed. He jumps up bites the lead and his humans if he gets it in to his head, he body plants when he sees another dog and is duty bound to go and investigate them. His recall is dubious to say the least hence the long line which if I’m totally honest we didn’t need during this session ☺️. So those are the issues, what are the solutions? Relationship building, interactive walks, giving an outlet for his working drive ( we introduced him to the flirtpole in this session and he excelled ).. Training without him even realising as it was all built in to the games we played. All games have rules right 😉
Life for a foreign rescue can be difficult to navigate..
His mom ran off as Charlie and his litter mates were being captured for rehoming in the uk. His distinct distrust of anyone who passes by or enters the home is difficult to watch. But he landed firmly on all 4 paws with his devoted and realistic new family.
They have worked hard to lessen Charlie’s anxiety and nerves. Most of all they have advocated for him. Never taking him into or even near situations that would shut him down..
He accepted my presence on a walk today and every time he came near he was rewarded.. and then he recalled to me and sat on request 🙌
Incremental improvements that will become robust 💙
New puppy parents can need support in all shapes and forms.
It’s so much easier getting it right from the start and to be able to avert potential issues rather than rectifying problems further down the line.
This little lady is shy and lacks a little confidence but is now learning that her crate is a safe haven and not to be feared 💕

Sound on 🔊 From a new puppy mommy…
Who’s pup is now getting enough sleep and rest- Did you know they need a minimum 18 hours of restorative sleep at this age?
sleep helps them thrive physically
Sleep helps learning massively by allowing the brain time to process.
Reduces those over the top,teeth nashing, zoomie sessions.
Crate training g should never be a thing of force, punishment or “cry it out” .. but should be representative of safety, sleep, calm and good things 💕
The beginning of a lured “middle”. Once we have the behaviour we start adding the cue “ middle” whilst reducing the exaggerated visuals.

1) Everyone in the household should agree on cues, boundaries and what you want from your dog.
2) Practice and train FOR a situation NOT in a situation. It’s unfair to expect your dog to do something it has not been trained for.
3) Use high value food rewards for great results in higher distraction and difficult environments. Kibble and lower value food may work well at home but if you’re out and about you are competing with way more variables and this should be reflected in the food you “pay” them.
4) If you are tired, upset or frustrated, give training a miss. Your mood is reflected in what you’ll get back from your dog. So have fun and watch that relationship, trust and bond grow 💙💕💙
Look at that smile… from the lady who was once exasperated by her young Springer boy… He ran her ragged ALL of the time. Didn’t/ couldn’t/ wouldn’t sit still for a second. Leapt from sofa to chair to table to you all day long. We addressed his diet and initiated some brain training to channel his youthful energy. His walks are structured and have purpose, to engage and play with his Mom. His Mom was upset that he NEVER lay by her or settled.. Yes that smile says a thousand words ☺️❤️
When Spud met Harley… Spaniel 1 Big scary Bull Breed 0 Fun had by all 💙
Whilst it’s more than acceptable to account for the feelings of a new puppy when they come home, it can become very restrictive, very quickly IF you literally can’t put the puppy down, leave the room, go to the loo, tuck them up safely for good, restorative sleep in a safe place such as a crate! This was very much the case for baby Winnie and her trapped momma! My job is to coach and advise in so many different areas without judgement. And guess what? During our session this little lady fell soundly asleep for the first time in her crate and has done for the past few days since. Her fierce bitey Mcbitiness has disappeared and she is sooooo very much calmer. In fact she has become a different puppy in all the right ways 💕. Sleep, never underestimate it with your young puppy 💤
