Jill takes possession VERY seriously 😂

She’ll bring her toy over, climb on top of me with it, ask for attention… and then quite happily fall asleep still holding it in her mouth.

Possessive doesn’t automatically mean aggressive.

Some dogs simply really, really value having their things. Jill doesn’t avoid me when she has something, she actively brings it to me. She’s comfortable with me being close and touching her, and she’ll let go when asked.

Would she prefer to keep it? Absolutely 😂

And that’s okay. I don’t need to constantly take things away from my dogs just because I can. As long as there’s no aggression around possession and they understand how to give something up when needed, sometimes they can just enjoy having their precious thing.

Even if apparently that means sleeping with it still in their mouth 🤦‍♀️

What a weekend! 🥹🐾

From my advanced group smashing their demo at the Little Hereford Village Fete, judging the dog show, cheering on the musical sits and seeing our Mable take the win 🏆, to meeting so many lovely people and their dogs AND finally being reunited with Jill ❤️

Then straight back to puppy classes today! 🐶

It’s been amazing, emotional and a little tiring. I’m tired in the best possible way, and now it’s time to relax for the rest of Sunday 🥰

Hundreds of people, dogs, noise, distractions AND a very hot day… and they absolutely smashed it. 🥹👏

A few snippets from our demonstration today at Little Hereford Village Fete 🐾

I’m incredibly proud of every one of my handlers and their dogs. Working around this level of distraction isn’t easy, and seeing them out there showing off their heelwork, recalls, stays, obedience and tricks was such a special moment.

And the best part? These aren’t “perfect” dogs.

They’re everyday dogs and owners who have put the work in, practised consistently and built better communication together. This is what training can give you. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to my handlers for trusting me, supporting Clear Minds and being brave enough to get out there in front of hundreds of people today. You were brilliant.

And thank you Little Hereford Village Fete for having us again! We had such a lovely time and hopefully this won’t be our last time together. 🐕☀️

I’ll be sharing more from today, including some of the individual tricks and exercises our dogs showed off 👀

So proud of this little team. ❤️

If I could relive every adventure, I’d choose to do it with my dogs all over again.

They’re never “just dogs”. They’re part of every memory worth keeping. ❤️🐾

Hi guys! We are fine and loving our holiday! Missing you all and looking forward to our sessions starting again soon, while also kind of wishing we could stay a bit longer 🙈

Can you blame us though? This place is heaven for me, and I think the dogs would agree too, but I’ll leave that story for another post 🥰

See you all soon, but if you need me, I’m only a message away! 🐾

If my dogs could narrate the seaside holiday… I think this is pretty close. 😂

Somehow they always manage to:
☀️ Find the hottest spot to lie in.
🌊 Become your full-time lifeguard at the beach.
🌴 Claim anything you’ve set up for yourself.
🧺 Ignore the blanket and choose the most uncomfortable place possible and get tree sap all over themselves 😂

Would your dog do any of these? Or what would they be thinking? 👇

Some things I do with my dogs are just good for the soul. 🌊

This wasn’t a training session or anything special, just an hour spent in the sea together.

Iroh barely left my side the entire time. Every time I swam out, he was right there with me, happily paddling alongside.

Azula had a good swim too, but after a while she decided the beach and her ball were a much better idea. Same adventure, completely different way of enjoying it.

One of my favourite things about dogs is that even when they’re raised the same, they still have their own personalities, preferences and little quirks. That’s what makes every one of them so special. 🤍

Your dog doesn’t need to experience everything. They just need to learn how to handle new experiences.

This was Iroh and Azula’s first time on a ferry in Croatia, surrounded by people, strange noises, moving floors, sea spray and plenty of new smells.

Rather than expecting them to be perfect immediately, I gave them time to observe, process everything around them, and rewarded calm choices.

Even the little out-of-sight stay wasn’t about showing off. It was simply another opportunity to reinforce that the rules stay the same, no matter where we are.

Iroh was definitely fascinated by the waves and spent most of the journey trying to work out whether he was allowed to chase them… thankfully he decided against it. 😂

Confidence isn’t built by avoiding new environments. It’s built by helping your dog succeed in them.
