Hudson and Chilli - nice sit/stays

Chilli still learning duration in her commands. She did a great job. Last time the two worked around each other, she struggled to not want to break and get to Hudson.

Good job Chilli 🥰

WALK / TRAIN - Thursday morning

Hudson and Chilli taking a walk together. Working on nice walking without the need to say ‘hi’ to one another and simply enjoy going in the same direction as each other. This is the second walk together and Chilli was way calmer and not so silly and needing to get over to Hudson.

They each had a sniff of one another throughout the walk however still not needing to interact. Teaching Chilli some impulse control.

Looking forward to some more walks over coming weeks.

P.S. it’s not easy to film and walk and get both dogs in the shot, especially more so when I’m such a short arse 🤪

Hudson - Happy content boy 🥰 love hearing the big sigh of contentment 👍🏻

As the weather was pretty crappy today I did some Nosework in the house, Hudson nailed the first 3 and was getting tired by the 4th search. He then did a wee bit of duration obedience and then 15mins on the treadmill.

He had his mind and body worked and tonight he’s one happy content fella.

🐾 Remember, we don’t have to just physically tire our dogs, don’t forget to challenge their minds as well, they usually are more tired and for longer when working than after an hour long walk.

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK !

Few spots remaining in next intake of puppy classes.

- Open to pups aged 8-16 weeks. This period of time goes so quickly and it’s super important to get as much done as possible with young pups to help set them up for a well rounded, well mannered content, happy and fulfilled adult dog.

Contact Sonia Ph: 0438 730 428 or email [email protected] to secure your spot.

REAL LIFE OBEDIENCE & MANNERS - Week 3
Sunday morning!

I was super impressed with the lovely mat work the owners did with their dogs this morning, proving that they had certainly put in the effort between classes.

Today’s class was focussed on teaching impulse control around doorways, gates, food bowls etc - teaching a ‘wait’ command. All the dogs picked this up nicely.

Then on to sits and drops. Each dog worked a little differently and thats’s fine, so long as the dog knows whats been asked of them and they are being marked clearly for correct behaviour and releasing. Started also working on some duration of behaviours.

Can’t wait to see them all for next week’s class.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUDSON 🎉❤️🥰

Hard to believe you’re turning 7 today! It feels like only 5yrs or so since you joined our family.

You have made me a different trainer and helped me grow in many ways, learning new skills and you’ve taken to just about all that we’ve worked on over the last 7yrs. You are so clever and cheeky at times, however I’m starting to see a more calmer mature boy these days.

I couldn’t imagine life without you in it!!

Here’s to many more years of learning and growing together. X###

TRAINING DAY - It wasn’t all work and no fun! Vesper got to enjoy some free time in one of my enclosures for a run and digging in/tipping over the water bowl 😝 she loved using her nose, especially more so after I had thrown some food treats and letting her find them. She was checking to make sure none left!
