Two weeks ago we became three. Last night Alfred met the crew.

He's got about 18 years before he's operational. Plenty of time to nail dutch rolls, ladders and BAECO.

Standards don't start when you're old enough to understand them. They start when you're old enough to watch!

The question is... do we trust the indication enough to push it further and blindfold for the throw?! No keys, no way home!

Tired dog after 1000m of tracking always makes it a risk! 😬😅

Sunday afternoon chill waiting for baby to drop with Sig, 100% on in the field, 95% off in the house, always the goal. With the Mals it often needs training deliberately!

In my mind, its no good having a spicy dog for extra home security, if its in a kennel when its needed! I also havent the patience for spending my home time with a always on nutcase! 😅

Dog and Bone

Lucky enough to catch x3 of the Rockwell B1 "Bones" returning to RAF Fairford on our evening dog walk yesterday. How many times do you get to proof your stay command under a supersonic bomber capable of carrying 34tn! Flew right over us and those turbofan engines really make the ground shake!

My background is in the Defence industry, and as an Engineer, high performance design, quality control and a zero fail mentality is exactly why I set up Snakeshead K9! Some missions are too important to rely on kit thats "Good Enough"!

Another sunny evening out with Sig tonight and letting her blow off some steam with a few bark and holds. All I'm aiming for today is her finding a nice square position, good eye contact not distracted by the toy, and a clean rythmic bark.

Loads of ways to get to Rome on this one and all have their pros and cons! Given the same dog and a do over, I would love to have tried building this up with a much higher defence drive component rather than pure prey drive.

Deeper bark, more intensity and pressure on the decoy and some seriously bad intent are all things hard to acheive while it feels like a game!

Started rebuilding the retrieve after years of neglecting this exercise! Sig was always super chompy on the dumbell (one judge asked me if I was planning to take it off her before she finished eating it!) and it really irritated me each time I went to fix it!

Finally stripped the emotion out from my side and got back to basics! Still gotta keep that ass on the floor for the throw and still got to get that 1 cheeky bite out as she comes into the front position, but a world better than where it was!

First weekend of the Snakeshead Fritillery Flowers coming out and a special time of year for us. 12 months since Snakeshead K9 was set up to ensure the best quality kit in the world is always available to UK handlers, and its been a blast!

More than 200 happy customers now kitted out with Modern Icon collars, leads and harnesses plus some exciting new developments in the works! New products, more reviews, new training and not least, the next little addition to the Snakeshead K9 family due April 29th! Not a puppy (yet!) but our first child!

Massive thanks to who have always been fantastic to work with and genuinely make the best kit in the world, for the advice, guidance and support, and to every customer who has put their faith in me to deliver. Bring on an even bigger 12 months next!

Great moment training with a client this evening as we had 2 low passes from B-52s returning into Fairford! For a dog who we are currently building the confidence in, she didnt bat an eyelid! 🫶

Always working hard to build communication and clarity in high arousal! Today we are working to see how close to the tug we can get the call off command! Building the recall is the first stage, but proofing that against a genuine competing motivator is essential if you want to be confident!

Beautiful day to be out with the dogs at and Sig was a little star just flirting with everyone! Shes always a hard charging, act first, think second kinda dog, so proofing this neutrality now is a must!

Thanks for a great session Lottie!
