🐕 Back and rested after a lovely week in the Isle of Man judging obedience on Friday & Sunday 🐕
We had a great time, were looked after very well.
🐩 Cici got a surprise 4th place in Novice on Saturday! I wanted to see if we had the duration for a full round, which we did! She was super so I will have to up my game now 😁

Practicing recall today on the beach 🐾
Cici went a bit further away than I like but it was a safe area so instead of calling her and risking her ignoring me, I kept walking and when she realised where we we’re she came flying!!!
This building her drive to come and find me and get to me
This is what we were discussing on our Recall Work shop training

🐾 I got some lovely feed back after our Recall Workshop 😁
We started with: -
why doesn’t my dog always come back when called?
- creating good habits
We worked on:
- dogs being calm & confident in our space
- dogs giving attention to owner
- dog checking in
- play & engagement
- working against distractions
- making owner someone the dog chooses to run to.
Well done to all the teams, they are all still puppies so great to get good habits in place now 👏👏👏

Part 2 will be in a secure field with more distractions
So owners have a few weeks to really work on the above skills ready 🐶

This is why we do what we do 😁
Thanks Anna for the feed back
🐾I know how had you have worked with Norman 👏👏👏
🐶 Never underestimate the importance of teaching settle

It is with emotions that I'm sending these pictures and the art of setting and watching me training that Norman has been on a train, in a church a pub and settling while people are nearby and paw perfect... perseverance is paying off. He's now a joy to take rather than looking for the nearest exit 😁😁
