We had music playing at our Mondioring training today, and my golly it made a difference! In obedience, protection and lifeskills - all the dogs were better, us handlers were better and it helped keep the mood and energy flowing 🪩
Do you play music while training and playing with your dog? It’s time to try it!

Marco has been putting his nose to good use of late.
He’s turning 10 soon, and although he did some scent detection many years ago, doing it on oils as a sport is new to him.
And so now I have another dog that I need to fit into our weekend sport calendar and drive around the country side for!

𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀. 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗻 🏆

This weekend we had a double agility trials on Saturday and a single today.
I was entered with Gerda.
We train agility often but it’s very rare we enter. The environment is hard for a previously reactive dog.
Twice in two years, in different environments Gerda has been rushed/attacked. So she likes the dogs around her to be calm and in control of themselves, she’s ready to take control.

Agility environments are busy, it’s loud, it’s off leash, there’s food, there’s tugs, the energy from everyone and every dog is HIGH, and sometimes dogs prefer to be out of the ring than in it.

Every run she did this weekend was an improvement on the previous. But that’s not the real win.
Her attitude was *chefs kiss*.
She was happy, she was engaged, she was relaxed, she had fun 😎

Sometimes the wins are only visible to us.

And to top it off, today is her birthday 🎂
