“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

That’s what they say…

Last night we met Monty, an 8-year-old Patterdale who, until the start of this year, had hardly ever been on a lead.

Since being rehomed at the start of the year, Monty now goes out for regular lead walks but he pulls like a freight train.

Fast forward to halfway through his 1-2-1 session and Monty was happily following his owner around, walking beautifully to heel.

And they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 😉

💡 I used to think red light therapy was all hype... until I used one myself and saw the results.

After Boyd's broken nail, Akela decided she didn't want to be left out and snapped a dew claw. 🤦‍♀️

As soon as it happened, a Photizo Vetcare red light therapy device was ordered for next-day delivery.

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These are absorbed by the mitochondria, the powerhouses inside our cells, helping support the body's natural healing process while also reducing inflammation.

The photos speak for themselves.

Just three days after starting treatment, Akela's exposed quick had healed over and was no longer visible.

Safe to say, I'm impressed.

Have you ever tried red light therapy, either on yourself or your dog?

Puppies absolutely smashing it yesterday! 🐾

Teaching an out using two toys. One toy stops, the other comes to life. The puppies quickly learn that giving something up doesn't end the fun, it creates more of it.

It's a fun way to build engagement, confidence, a great relationship with your dog, and positive habits that can help reduce the risk of resource guarding later in life.

📖 PUPPY OWNER'S MANUAL
Model: Standard Puppy v1.0

Contents
✔ 1 x Cute Puppy
✔ 1 x Owner's Manual

If your box didn't contain an owner's manual, please return puppy.

Standard operating characteristics

May return indoors before using the toilet, despite you standing outside for the last 20 minutes.

Human hands will be mistaken for chew toys and are often the preferred choice.

Selective hearing is fitted as standard and may take several months to deactivate.

Can hear a crisp packet being opened from anywhere in the house, but not the word "come".
Will consider expensive footwear to be approved chew toys.

Land Shark mode may activate without warning. This is a standard feature.

Puppies require approximately 18–20 hours of sleep per day. Sleep mode, however, can be unpredictable.

Troubleshooting

Problem: My puppy is biting, ignores me outside and has endless energy.

Answer: This is normal puppy behaviour.

Recommended action: Book onto Askan-K9s Perfect Puppy Programme.

It's the little things that mean the most.

Last night, Cooper completed our Perfect Puppy Programme, and his owners left me this lovely card and a massive bar of chocolate!

Once booked onto one of our puppy groups, we are here to help even before the groups start via WhatsApp. Cooper's mum made the most of this before the course had even started, sending a few questions over about crate training. A bit of advice was all that was needed, and everything was back on track without the need for a one-to-one.

Cooper has been an absolute sweetheart to train, and it's been brilliant to watch his confidence and training grow over the last few weeks.

Thanks again for the lovely card and chocolate. It was a really thoughtful gesture and very much appreciated.

I'm often asked what treats I use and recommend in training.

For me, it's these Nutriment pates. They're high value, easy to chop because they're nice and firm, dogs absolutely love them, and they're not full of crap like a lot of treats on the market.

Each sausage is 400g with a long shelf life. They say they'll last up to 3 days once opened... although with my four, I've never managed to make one last more than a day! 😂

At just £4 for a 400g sausage, they're great value too.

I've currently got Rabbit and Ostrich in stock if anyone wants to give them a try.

What's your go-to training treat?

Monday night's obedience group putting in another solid session.

This week we worked on recalls, loose lead walking, send arounds, impulse control and maintaining focus around distractions.

Every exercise has a purpose. We're not just teaching dogs to perform behaviours in class, we're building the skills owners need for everyday life.

Week by week, the progress speaks for itself.
