Wilderness class this morning. What a special group of people spoiling me for my birthday. Thank you so much!

Luna at her individual session this afternoon. Working on her down command. We lured her down several times and now it's time to fade out the lure, and let her figure it out. As soon as she does the desired behaviour she gets the reward. Patience and practice is key.

Duke and Satchmo at their individual lessons yesterday morning. Have you ever seen a Bullterrier do agility? Duke jumping beautifully over the jump. He also enjoys his weekly agility class on Fridays. Satchmo the Ridgeback also excelling at the jump.

Gypsy and Brady, sibling Border collies, today at their individual class in Wilderness. It was their second individual class at the common, and they were great! Worked on proper leash skills, impulse control and recalls.

For advanced class today, we went to Rooiriver. We tested the dogs and handlers in a new environment with different distractions. Basically proofing the training we did at Oakhurst and home. They did very well! There were people playing cricket and other people walking their dogs. So plenty of distractions.

Duke practicing some focus today in his obedience lesson. Not too bad for a Bullterrier.

Beautiful little Lenie at puppy class this past Saturday. The puppies learned how to be tied up if needed. Lenie took this into his stride.

Few pics of my Thursday students. Flynn and Lily, the Irish Setters enjoying their individual training time and tummy scratches of course. Lastly, little Oliver with a big attitude learning how to stay.

Home visit to see Maya the Frenchie. Check the side eye!

Rayden a 6 year old (born May 2018) GSD is looking for a new home. Rayden is a KUSA registered GSD and is neutered. He is unfortunately reactive towards dogs especially on walks (I haven't evaluated him yet), but he is a loyal dog and loves children. He needs a person that knows the breed and that is willing to spend time with him. Please send me a whatsapp on 078 192 3963 if interested and I'll forward his owner's details to you.

How cute!? Oliver is a 6 month old Maltese x Yorkie coming for a couple of individual lessons until he is ready to join our intermediate obedience class. Majority of our students are big dogs, so it's nice to have a small doggy for a change.

Happy birthday to one of our Wilderness class dogs, Angus the Golden Retriever. The dogs loved the special treat! Thanks Nici!

Rehomed!

Jasper is looking for an active home with people that love to go walking and that are willing to train him. He is a sweet dog and is very attentive. He has done a few obedience lessons and responded very well. His eldery owners just can't keep up with a 9 month German Shepherd. If interested please whatsapp me on 078 192 3963.

05/03/2024

Daisy is looking for her forever home. Her foster owner has been bringing her for training and I can see huge improvement in her obedience. She deserves a permanent home and really doesn't want to go back to the shelter. Perfect for someone that doesn't want to go through the naughty puppy phase. See details below!

Training in Wilderness this morning. Check the beautiful rainbow 🌈. Thanks for the photo Tracy!

Duke the Bullterrier at agility class!

Rehomed! Jasper is looking for an active home with people that love to go walking and that are willing to train him. He is a sweet dog and is very attentive. He has done a few obedience lessons and responded very well. His eldery owners just can't keep up with a 9 month German Shepherd. If interested please whatsapp me on 078 192 3963.

Satchmo, the Ridgeback, working on his jumping skills.

Willow this morning waving hello! I think this is her favourite trick to do.

Nova, from our advanced class, fetching a non-toy item. In this case an empty plastic bottle.

This afternoon in advanced class working on retrieving dumbbells.

Dougal's formal fetch. A couple of months ago, Dougal didn't even want to fetch a ball. And now he brings back a dumbell in style.

Zohar waving hello, this morning at our Wilderness class. His owner Luami is doing a fabulous job with him!

Skye having freedom to run free with a reliable recall! With commitment and the correct training process, her recall is brilliant. We are still careful not to let her off with too many distractions around. We will still work through different scenarios with her. Huskies are known to be difficult to train and to not have a good recall. If this Husky can do it, any dog can!

Skye after only two weeks in her new home. This was her first time doing a whole obstacle course. She was also off lead working through the course with her handler.

Skye the Husky puppy, doing a fantastic recall at the park today! Her owner Sean is doing a fantastic job with recall training and practices everyday. It's important to be persistent and consistent with training. In only two weeks, Skye has a steady recall and is basically crate trained. If a Husky can do it, any breed can do it!

Skye at training this afternoon. Introducing the tunnel for the first time. I think she likes it! She is a brilliant little dog and so eager.

Skye has been progressing so well this last week! Today we gave her a little bit more freedom, but kept the long line attached in case she decides to bolt. Like many Huskies tend to do! She was fantastic. Kept following us and still responding speedily to her name.

We are going to document Skye's training journey for you to follow! Skye is a 5 month old Siberian Husky that was surrendered and adopted by Jules and Sean Snyman only a couple of days ago. Skye has no previous socialisation or training and everything is still very new to her. In the video below we are demonstrating one of the first steps to recall. We put her on a long line and reward her for responding to her name with high value treats. We also allowed her to venture out after getting the reward. It is important not to always grab them and put them back on a short lead, otherwise your dog will predict "end of fun" and will be hesitant to come back 100%.

Satchmo working on the "place" command. I think he understood the assignment?! Teaching place is very useful when you want to send your dog to a bed to settle, work on boundaries or to work on commands from a distance.
