I forgot to take photos when we were training but this is the end result of our lesson…
I broke the Spaniel 😝
This fabulous fella had his 3rd lesson for loose lead walking yesterday - his guardians have invested in a two point harness and lead and can already see the benefits.
This dog gives the most amazing puppy dog eyes when he leans in for a cuddle.

‘Checking in’
Does your dog see a value in checking in?
This fabulous girl had her 3rd lesson today and we went on a training walk. She is about 5 years old and moved into her new forever home a few weeks ago.
We have been working on her loose lead walking and her new guardians would like to work towards letting her have off lead walks.
Her lead walking has really improved and we worked on her engagement and focus in the lesson.

I know people can worry about rehoming a rescue dog but with the right support from a reputable rescue you can get cracking dogs like this one. She is so sweet and found the most amazing home.
Spaniel Aid are always looking for foster homes and as a foster you have the first opportunity to rehome or you can support the dog as a new forever home is found.

I’m back from a wonderful city break in Edinburgh.
The weather was fabulous - slightly cooler than in Ipswich and we avoided the Suffolk Show traffic!
We took advantage of the sunshine and visited The Royal Botanical Garden.
Messages will be responded to tomorrow.
It’s also looking to be a bit cooler next week which I’m sure your dog will appreciate it.

It’s half term and I’m going to take a few days off work!
Calls and messages will be responded to next Saturday.

A polite reminder to everyone it’s the Suffolk Show on Wednesday and Thursday.
If you are attending have fun.
Please consider leaving your dog at home (especially if it’s going to be hot 🥵). Arrange for a dog walker to pop in instead to give them a comfort break.

Needless to say lessons and classes have been postponed and cancelled this weekend but earlier in the week when it was a ‘normal’ temperature this fella had his second 1:1 lesson.
We are working on his focus around distractions.
For me the ability to listen and focus when there are distractions going on around you is essential training and creates the foundations for other life skills.

☀️ It’s going to be a hot one 🥵 and whilst it’s lovely to have this weather on a bank holiday weekend we do need to think about our dogs.

I’m cancelling classes this weekend due to the heat and The Freston Boot are also cancelling the Bulldog meet.

Please don’t walk you dog in the heat - a missed walk won’t kill them!

Your dog can’t swap their coat for shorts and t shirt!

It was week 5 for the Tuesday Fun Dog class.
Only two could make the last week but I wanted to include all 3 who signed up for the course to congratulate them on their progress.
These classes will never prepare a dog to go on a shoot but they do provide fun and training ideas for everyone.
The two adolescent dogs attending do struggle sometimes- it can be a hugely transitional period in a dogs life but to see them working some patterns this evening was great.

If you would like to sign up to this course my next 5 week course intake is commencing on Tuesday June 5th. Freston Village Hall at 7pm. Small class)
