Look at these cuties learning to be super little puppy's.

I love being able to take not only my dogs but some homestay boarding dogs for an outing in the front paddock. It is so wonderful to watch them run freely, sniff and roll in whatever they want. They come home satisfied, ready for dinner and a sleep.

Great morning doing some tracking training, Shine ran a beautiful track this morning. It was windy and 40 min age on the tract, she was a delight to be behind, happy and confident and finding all articles.
We had a breakthrough with Tyson with article search and then he and Shine had some free time together.
Thanks Martina for being such a dedicated student.

What beautiful door manners, three of my dogs (Scooter, Boggle and Bazil) and to homestay dogs (Rufus and Scout).
Teaching door and gate manners can be a life saver for your dogs, it can prevent run aways if gates are accidently left open.

It was a huge afternoon at Small Dog Shy Dog Social, I'm actually not sure if dogs are allowed to have this much fun🤫 There was playing, swimming and sniffing in a multitude of areas and environments. I would love to see some pics of the tired and satisfied dogs from this afternoon.

We have just had a fabulous weekend at the Learners on Lead grounds.
We were fortunate to have Margaret Keast, who journeyed from the Newcastle area, guide us over a two-day period on the intricacies of running a tracking trial.
The event was a blend of informative theory sessions, engaging group brainstorming, and hands-on practical sessions, covering various aspects of conducting a Tracking Trial.
Many thanks to Margaret for giving so much of her time and knowledge to help us learn how to conduct a tracking trial.
Also, thanks to everyone who attended the weekend to learn; you are fantastic. Thank you to all who brought yummy food for us to eat and to the dogs; we love you all.

We have had a wonderful weekend creating tracks for walking with our dogs and tracking.
Such a massive thanks goes out to Scott, Stewart, Amber, Jen, Skye, Min, Jo and Leanne for putting in so much hard work and donating your time on weekend. Between us all we achieved so much. It was an absolute pleasure to work and laugh with you all over the weekend.
I will take photos of some of the tracks this weeks, there are so many of them.

Today saw us finish our six week whistle recall class and what a blast it was. All dogs off lead in a big open paddock with lots of smelly distractions but responding to their recall and running to their humans. Recall is such an important part of your relationship and training with your dog. We finished the session with having them all off lead down at the dam for a well earned cool off and play. We snuck in a couple of recalls out of group interaction and every single dog responded to being called. Thank you to all these amazing dog owners for trusting in me and the process to make your recalls fun with your dogs.

And the School Holiday visitors started arriving this afternoon.
We have a full house of our regular boarding visitors, most of these dogs often stay here at the same time together making it a fun reuionion of play and hanging out together.

I am so proud of this bunch, they have been working and playing hard at teaching their dogs a fun and force free recall. Today we took the recalls out into the paddock where there was plenty of room and opportunity for run of and lots of distractions that could take their attention.

I saw this challenge on another group so I had ago, anyone want to give it a try as your Easter training, bloopers welcome🤪
A little bit of fun training this morning with Shine, some sit whistle and some clear verbal communication in play. It's so important to play with your dog, but having clear communication when the play starts, changes and ends is critical. Shine is not taking the tug until cued, she is switching from the tug she has to the other one I offer on cue and releasing the tug on cue.
Shine and I went down to the dam after a training session this morning for some down time, Chester came over to see what we were doing. I guess we did some more training😆
Penny the lab and Leo the GSD getting to know each other.
A bit of welcome water relief and play after tracking this morning. So great to be back tracking and hanging with this great bunch of hoomans.
This is a little time line of my funny hound Abbey, she is 12 years old this month and still doing strong. I got a hound so I could learn more and geez didn't I, what a dog. Against all odds we have done so much together, Conformation Show, Agility, Nose Work, Obedience, Tracking, Nursing Home Therapy, Holidays at the beach and lots of little adventures together. Darn I love this funny little hound and her amazing eyes that look deep into your soul.
I spent 5 hours on the mower this weekend mowing the front paddock, it looks so good. It's all ready for some safe tracking drills next Sunday, bring it on😁
I haven't done any tracking with Shine for almost 6 months, we have been concentration on scent detection. Today we did a tiny little straight forward training track and wow, she hasn't forgetting a thing, so nice. Love being at 6 o'clock with a tracking dog☑️
A bit cooler this morning so I managed to get out with Shine and do a little bit. First of is some heeling with a wait while the food bowl is placed on the ground next to her. I put her in a wait and walk away, call her, she is reluctant to leave the food bowl but eventually does, ask for a sit in motion and then reward with sending her back to the bowl. Second is just an easy recall from a distance while she is just being a dog. None of this was trained with using and force, the word no, a correction on a collar, just good reinforcement based training. It's awesome what you can get with understanding, relationship, and commitment to training and playing with your dog. Cheers Karen
First class for 2024 kicked off tonight with Canine Mind and Body. We will be working on excellence in training and communication with our dogs so we can train and build strong, stable and joyful behaviours.
January Puppy Preschool was a ripper, such a great mix of dogs and every team was awesome. Look at how happy and confident these puppy's are and the relationship and communication with their humans grew from week to week. Our next Puppy Presvhool Class will start on the 2nd March 9am. #puppytraining #puppyclasses #puppypreschool #learnersonlead
Week two of Puppy Preschool this morning was a delight, there was cuteness, learning and some giggles. These teams are kicking some great goals.
