I LOVE this group! Like genuinely love this group.

I have somehow managed to put together a group of the most supportive people, they cheer each other on, they help each other on those bad days, some of them happen to be quite funny and their WhatsApp chat is hilarious
(And the extras in it, you know who you are!)

Rosie the spaniel is the happiest little spaniel whose owners put in the practice constantly, she’s so good! The rest of the class definitely look up to her, she also has the best sleeping positions!

Millie is learning to make friends (and flirt!) and her owner has the best attitude ever towards her dogs! She does everything for her dogs and lights up the class!

Dewi is always viewed as the star of any class he’s been in, from those first few classes where we had a few tears, he’s blooming brilliant. His owner is the most supportive lady ever.

Marjorie is a frenchie with sass, every week her confidence grows and her owner absolutely adores her! Her little frenchie walk in the class is hilarious, her owner is always so positive, the best at cheering people on.

Rory… I can’t even describe Rory. He’s the happiest, friendliest, most beautiful dog. He wins over every person in every class he’s in, and I love his little woof at me if I haven’t said hello to him in class yet. He has a fan club! Thank you for his owner to helping with some of the other dogs too!

Milo and his owners have so put in the work! In his first class we had to work outside because he was a bit shouty, but you’d never know it now! He passed dogs, no shouting at people, settled brilliantly, passed with flying colours!!
When everyone is feeling a bit down, his owner always puts a positive twist on it!

Shadow is currently a bit hormonal, but still powered through the test so deserves some bonus points! He settled brilliantly outside with no shouting and his owners have the best sense of humour they really help make the class atmosphere!

Ida’s change over the course of the classes has been amazing! She didn’t have a great start and in the first class she wouldn’t eat or even sit, today she worked with her owners and another member of the class giving out paws! Her owners are doing a great job!

Then we have Lando! His owners didn’t believe he’d pass but he did, and brilliantly! Lando is learning not to get over excited and shout at other dogs, so him settling next to them and passing them nicely is amazing! Absolutely brilliant!! So well done Landos team!!!

Soppy post over! 🤭

A typical week with the boys....

Sometimes they'll have a swimming lesson with Jump In Dog Therapy but they'll always get at least one trip to an enclosed field at either Ryecroft Meadow - Private Dog Walking Field Wrexham or Cheshire View Dog Park!

Kevin has separate training walks for recall so we usually try and head somewhere with distractions for that, whereas Sherlock will just get some free walks as he'll often come and do some assessments with nervous/reactive dogs with me.

We'll always throw in a caffeine stop at a Costa and each of them will do training in the sports they like: Sherlock likes agility, scentwork and tricks whereas Kevin quite enjoys his gundog stuff at the moment!

Sitting still is something neither of them are good at so we do that where we can, along with just letting them have a good run and play together because decompression time is important too!

They'll also have afternoons chills where they just munch on a kong or a natural chew whilst I get some stuff done!

Always a mixture of off lead exercise, some structured walks, training together and separately, and plenty of decompression and sleep! 😁

What do your dogs absolutely love doing??

For Kevin he LOVES retrieving... to the point he will refuse high value treats because he wants to go and find that dummy!

Sherlock LOVES to zoom about in circles and he LOVES tricks and problem solving!!

Yes they're the same breed but they definitely love doing different things and you can absolutely use this to your advantage in training!

What do each of your dogs like doing? 😁

Those of you local to Wrexham, I highly recommend JML Pets in Gwersyllt!

Popped today and they always have great deals and some good bargains for your dogs!! 😁

We got some new chews, toys, and they have a wide range of food and bedding to go with it!!

Boys enjoying their chews, and me enjoying the peace and quiet 😆

I'm very honest on my page and I'm very honest with my clients.

I could easily manipulate my social media videos so my dogs always look amazing when in reality they're not robots.

Kevin is 8 months old, he's a teenager, and he's a boy...

He's going to keep me on my toes for the next 12 months minimum. Sherlock is my proof that there's another side to the teenage hurdle but I'm in it and I need to ride it out...

So here's the daily ups and downs of having a teenager.

1. Lack of response to cues. Then complete disengagement.

2. Some really good, difficult retrieves.

3. Destroyed a bed.

He has been asleep since 4.00pm though so obviously there's some processing going on in his little brain today 😂😂

Well done Monday night puppy class!! 🥳
