mypawfectk9 mypawfectk9 is run by Laura Gilmour; a positive reward based Pro-Dog Trainer. Fully accredited. We learn to listen to the dog.

Laura worked as a curriculum leader in a secondary school for 17years, but decided to use her passion of teaching to support people struggling with their dogs and re-trained as a qualified positive reward based trainer. Having 5 rescue dogs the desire to prevent more dogs entering rescue is the driver for helping people better understand the motivation of their dogs behaviour. 'Dog's do not have '

bad' behaviour, they just have behaviours, it is our job to understand what motivates that behaviour and to learn how to motivate better choices. I think very few people actually know what their dog was bred for, or what motivates training them'. My dream is that society is so much more empathetic to our dogs and that we stop placing our social expectations on to them.

Cooper

Think it was too hot for Cooper to be bothered at the weekend as he decided napping in the tunnel was more useful than running through it! He did a nice run in the DARL jumping to get a clear round, then went to say hi to a lady watching in the steeplechase. Again, that is a win for me, because for a nervous dog who was so fearful of people, now he wants to say hi to people is amazing and he got lots of praise for wanting to say hi!!

My boy has everyone in tears at the weekend - me included - because he has come do far and you cannot simply fall for him as he is the sweetest, kindest boo ;)

Keeva

Keeva is learning to listen and that agility is a sport for two.... last summer she was just about taking as many obstacles as she could in the time she had ;)

She takes agility very seriously and has 100% focus on her 'job' and will not be moved until she has had her turn. A judge passed me this card after our run and it means the world to me. Our bond. Our relationship. That's worth more than any placing or rosette.

Mist

Mist loves agility - I mean really loves it -she barks all the way around the course and doesn't really care if its right or wrong as long as she has stolen at least one tunnel on course!

She was an absolute star at the 5 day KC show and winning her agility class and over-all Combined 5-7 winner for DARL on Saturday :)

I could not and would not ask her for anymore - she gives me her all

Topping up on boundaries

Dogs often understand a cued behaviour with a verbal and body signal. Proximity helps with the understanding as we give little movements with our bodies, turning or holding them in a certain way to get the behaviour we want.

Training a dog to settle on a boundary is always done at a foundation level, with you in close proximity to the boundary so you can reward frequently and timely.

The hard part comes as you begin to rotate and lose eye contact, and/or increase distance.

The advanced goal tonight was to have dogs settled on their mats and handlers around the table for a chat.

This tested distance AND the lack of eye contact!

Edge and DARL show

We’ve had the best holiday and show this weekend! The DARL show was so emotional on Saturday seeing all those second chancers now in their forever homes.

I’ve never cried whilst running my dog before, but on Saturday I couldn’t hold the tears back as all the crowds cheered Cooper on down the final line of jumps!

The atmosphere was amazing. Truly it was about celebrating how far these dogs have come.

I am still emotionally broken 🫣

Mist won her agility class and had a pole on the jumping, and won her over all class C5-7 intermediate

Keeva was super - just a bit over zealous and added an extra jump to the agility round getting an E.

Cooper got a clear in his jumping, and a refusal in the second steeplechase as he decided to stay hi to a lady at the fence 💙

Over all, I could not be more proud of my little family.

🐾 ’Twas the Night Before DARL 🐾

’Twas the night before DARL, and from near and afar,
Came dogs of all sizes by van and by car.

Coats brushed to gleaming, each tail held with pride,
They knew they were loved, with their humans beside.

For DARL is for second-chance hearts, you see —
The ones once called “too broken to be,”
Too awkward, too anxious, too wild to train,
Or simply forgotten, unwanted, left out in the rain.

But here in warm homes, with a hand they can trust,
They’ve blossomed from heartbreak to shine from the dust!

Now paw beside shoe, and toy in hand to the startline we go, to weave and run through each turn that’s been planned.

So smile through the nerves, wish the others good cheer,
For every dog here is a champion, my dear.

With Doc in the ring, there’ll be so many smiles to bring for tomorrow’s our moment in that ring!
