A slower morning allows for a leisurely dog walks in the forest and good coffee when I get back to the van. Taking time to relax and to collect my thoughts is always welcome. 🙏

Happy new dog whistle day to me. thank you for the box, which has been carefully distributed over the last year or so to customers in need as I introduce the use of the whistle for recall and control at a distance. A tool I could not be without, and ACME whistles have been my whistle of choice for over 35 years now.
I might have put one of the nicest ones aside for myself and have decided to crack it open and make up a decent lanyard for it, which I’ll have a go at a basic knot or two to make it look smart. What a combo with the green and dark metal ring. It’s stealthy and that could serve a purpose when I go undercover dog training. 😆

Lovely Narla resting after her first visit where we looked at reigning in her exuberant character. I’d always rather be dealing with over exuberance than overt aggression, so she was a pleasure to work with, showing plenty of pleasing signs as she walked. Development of the recall and a few points re manners in the home and she will be like a new dog. Her underlying character is lovely and this is of course important as we assess the innate nature of the dog along the way, allowing me to make plenty of positive noises re her anticipated progress looking ahead.

The ability to control your dog when off lead has to be in place before it is let loose. If you struggle with the recall, or your dog is on a mission when loose and not interacting with you, then I can help you address this.
Once you provide the necessary skills for a dog to be (eventually) off lead AND under your control, you have a golden moment, whereby your dog’s enjoyment and fulfilment on each walk is much greater as your dog is able to express natural behaviours and this is far more fulfilling than remaining on a lead for life. Far more fulfilling for your dog and you.
Have a lovely weekend all.
Nick

🦮 If your dog is off their lead, they shouldn't approach on-lead dogs unsupervised. It's important to always give them the space they need.

Share this to spread awareness and keep other pups happy and healthy. 💚

Camel trail adventures in Padstow today. Making the best of the day!
Ruby will run a lot of it and then jump into ‘the chariot’ when she needs a rest. I love this.

Ruby is enjoying her time on the Padstow beaches this week!

Grooming day for Ruby and this will give you an idea of her before and after. Ruby is groomed about every 8 weeks with grooming most days and occasional trimming.

Web design help needed please!
I’m in the early stages of migrating my old website to a new website on Squarespace. The main mechanics of it I think I’m okay with, but when it comes to design, layout and colours, I feel I could do with some help from somebody experienced in those areas and also ideally experienced with Squarespace itself to help me choose design colours and templates and so on . I suspect I only need an hour with somebody on the phone, or if local to come to my office. I am of course willing to pay for your time.

You can direct message me here or if you prefer drop me an email: [email protected]
