Last night we worked on self control around tempting foods! This was challenging for the dogs but they did very well so well done to the dogs and owners. This exercise helps with real world situations like table manners both out and about and in the home, which prepares the pups for summer day trips at cafés and picnics. Well done everyone!

One of our trainers Jess was competing at Lanarkshire CTA Obedience show yesterday with her Australian Shepherd, Morgen (who many of you have seen in class). They finished 2nd place in Novice in a class of very talented dogs and handlers. Jess has been working hard with Morgen and their hard work has paid off!

It's important to recognise stress signals in your dog and try to avoid putting them in situations that can overwhelm them. This ladder of communication can be applied to interactions with other dogs, all types of animals and humans (adults and children). Learn to recognise the signs and become an advocate for your dog. They depend on us to manage a lot of their environment, so we need to step up and help them stay safe and comfortable.
