To qualify to earn an Expert Trick Title, a dog must first pass three other trick levels - Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.

She is just 16 months old! I'm so proud of her! 🥰

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐋𝐅𝐈𝐄 🐾💙

Alfie's mum has described him as "over friendly". While she loves that Alfie is confident and outgoing, sometimes Alfie gets himself into sticky situations by being 'too' friendly.

If off lead, the distractions out there are sometimes just too good to be missed...and as a result, Alfie won't come back when called.

He is only a small dog, and 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲.

So Alfie is learning to come without hesitation to his owner when she calls. And he is progressing so fast!!!

I love this little guy's enthusiasm! 🤩

I enjoyed every minute of the one-to-one time Cindy and I spent together today while her mum is away!

Cindy is such a sweet eager girly! ❤️❤️

This gorgeous family dog is full of joy and is SO playful. She exudes confidence and I'm totally in love. 🥹

Only trouble is that Daisy tends to channel her joy in inappropriate ways.

➡️ She loves to run over to the neighbours if there is something interesting going on and 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱.
➡ And she doesn't understand that not everybody wants to be𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻.

So we will be giving Daisy the ability to think when she is distracted and excited so that she CAN be joyful and have fun in a way that is fun for EVERYONE.

I can't wait to continue this journey with Daisy and her family. ✨

Tricks are great for teaching your dog things like:
- How to learn and problem solve
- That engaging with you is super fun
- That there is value in staying close to you.. and much more!

I may never hear the end of this...
When the trainer suggests we sit on a bench and practise calmness, not knowing that the dog loooooves to mud bath. 🥴

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐍𝐄) 💞

Russell (aged 9 months) and tiny Daphne (14 weeks) are travelling Australia with their mum and dad. 🌏🚙

⚡ Russell has some 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 that Daphne is very quickly learning to copy and which their owners want to resolve ASAP!
🤪 Russell also has a mind of his own and 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱. (Trust me, Dachshies can PULL!)

Rather than squashing his love of life, we are giving Russell new skills and re-shaping the way he thinks about those skills so that he is ✨ happy and enthusiastic to listen.✨

Daphne is learning all of the same things along the way so that she doesn't keep copying big brother's habits.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘆 🥰 and I'm loving being able to help their owners transform their struggles into strengths!
