A huge well done to Mary Jane and her owners who have worked really hard in their 121 sessions to achieve some beautiful loose lead walking (amongst other things).

Mary Jane came to her forever home 3 months ago this week, and what a difference love, support and consistency has made to her in that time.

She really has landed on her paws! 💚

Last week was cooperative care week and this time one of the things we looked at was proofing our chin target in a standing position.

We tried to ensure a good square stand with a level back in order to make sure that our dog's head was at the perfect height to enable relaxation.

Cooperative care builds choice into our grooming routine or health check, and in turn choice builds our dog's confidence and comfort in a given situation.

Now we have some nice duration customers can go home and carefully introduce brushes, paw checks, teeth cleaning etc.

Brilliant work everyone! 💚

Look at Majik's happy little face 💚

Carita's main objective for our 121 training sessions is to really get Majik's brain going.

First we did some work at really slowing him down, helping him to reset and focus.

Then we introduced the target stick and shaped a nose touch on to the ball. Shaping requires our dog to problem solve - the perfect brain teaser!

We've also practised listening out for the correct cue rather than just throwing out every move in his repertoire.

And then this week we began to proof the target stick behaviour adding in distraction and movement.

It's been great to really scale everything back with him, looking for precision and focus in order to really get him thinking.

Well done lovely lad! 🤓

We decided to stay warm(ish) and dry for our 121s on Friday last week.

Mary Jane, Bella, Ted and their owner's joined me in the unit for our sessions.

A perfect opportunity to practise our heelwork, refine some impulse control exercises and work on exercises that require a less distracting environment initially.

Three brilliant sessions!
Well done everyone 💚

Huge congratulations to this lovely lot on completing their Junior Course!

Skiba, Ivy, Poppy, Luna, Lola, Maggie, Daisy and their owners all did brilliantly.

Well done again! 🥳

Another very handsome Rottie!

Rocco is huge and a big daft do**us.

In our 121 training sessions we have been concentrating on capturing appropriate behaviour from him specifically focusing on calm, we have looked at building him a nice consistent routine which enables his sleep and relaxation; and we have introduced some impulse control games and some rules around tug.

He's doing brilliantly! 🥳

How beautiful is Raya?! 🩷

She's recently arrived at her forever home and wow has she landed on her feet.

Her family want to make sure they hit the ground running so have booked weekly 121 training sessions to ensure that her transition into their home is a hugely successful one.

Raya is already so much more settled, and her family are doing brilliantly 🩷

⭐️⭐️ Class cancellation ⭐️⭐️

Because of the potential for fireworks Wednesday and Thursday classes are cancelled this week.

Coming to training should be a happy and safe space for your dog, I dont want any dog ever to feel scared or anxious in the unit.

Stay home, and keep safe 💚

This week classes got spooky 👻

Over the last couple of weeks we have had great fun learning to send our dogs out to a blanket (in beginners) or to a spot (in intermediate and advanced).

Once we had added a cue, some duration and some distance to the behaviour, we then added distraction by way of a super spooky (polystyrene) gravestone 🪦⚰️

Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃

Ps. Actual graveyards added in Post Production 🤣
