"I only use kind, progressive, force and fear free methods that will not only help you communicate expertly with your dog but will build a partnership that you can be proud of!

Let's go have some fun and achieve those dreams you have with your dog!" - Jo

Proud as punch and graduating on a high! 🥰

Loki has come a long way since we started. Recall, lead skills, distraction work all in the bag 💪 I think he might be one of the happiest boys on the planet. I've never known a dog with such an enthusiastic personality and it shines through in everything he does. Now his training is shining through too. Everything is looking bright for this beautiful boy.

Congratulations team! We're all as proud as Loki is 🤎

Meg... or Dobby? 🤣😍

She wouldn't be out of place in a Harry Potter film to be fair. There's something magical about her. The way she's just fitting into her new home so early on after being rehomed is incredible. I'm always humbled by dogs and their ability to deal with life when they have very little control over what happens to them 🥹

Lovely work from this working line girl who is in heaven when training. She's found her calling. Settling in, relationship building and lovely steps towards recall and other foundation skills. Such a good girl. Such a beauty. Inside and out 🤎

She's not remotely as serious as she's trying to convince you, especially at only 14 weeks young 🤣 Meet Nala 😍

Look at that hair. I admit, I'm a little bit in love with this girl.

She's here for all her puppy training foundations and her team have done a superb job so far. Time to tick all the socialisation boxes, get toileting bang on track and make dealing with puppy biting a whole lot easier! First steps for her foundation skills looking good too 👌

We are going to have some serious fun with this little lady. Welcome beautiful girl 🤎

That face though 😍

Little Lenny has graduated from his dog training foundations 🥳 He pulled out all the stops in the field (his hardest place for walks) for his last session and showed off all the new skills he's learnt 🥰 He's come a long way in the short time we've been training him. Lead skills, recall, working around dogs. Everything can now be practiced and rehearsed with all the different skills his team can now draw upon 💪

He's a little firecracker this one and if you saw him running, you'd swear there was greyhound in there somewhere. This boy is FAST 💨 What an utterly gorgeous cheeky boy. Congratulations team! It's been utterly gorgeous working with you all! 🤎

Even more client progress 💪

You might remember Bramble just finished his puppy training foundations with me recently. Well here he is, on his first ever camping trip, sound asleep during that horrific storm we had last week. Yep, perfectly napping. Right. In. The. Middle. Of. A. Storm. Apparently thunder and lightning was raging as this pic was taken.

That's what we build here. Confident dogs who cope with storms. I knew this boy had adventure life written all over him. What a beautiful update. I'm one seriously proud trainer of this team for putting in the graft and having this as the result. Gorgeous 🤎

Client progress, new level unlocked: strutting, not pulling 💪

Not only do I adore my clients feeling so proud of their dog and their training that they want me to stay a part of their dog training journey even after training packages are completed. But it's also seeing Ozzy, who had the pulling power of an Ox on every single walk now doing THIS! 🥳 And when I say pulling power, I literally mean chaos...dragged all over the place in any direction, every single moment.

I am every bit as proud and excited for you team Ozzy! There is nothing that fills me with so much joy than teams smashing it and feeling so proud of their dogs that they just have to share. This is why I do this job 🤎

When you're sent updates of how much Steve LOVES his recall training 🥰 Fills me with joy getting client progress reports and I cannot love that little face anymore 🤎

🐾 Out of Office 🐾

I'm on leave this week and back on the 1st of June! You might think it's lucky timing to have taken this week off with the weather, however I'll be mostly drilling, plumbing and covered in dust from house renovations 🤦‍♀️ We'll be hunting out water walks to escape with Mag for sure... I'm thinking there might end up being more escaping than renovating 🤣

Have a great week! 🤎

Spent the day in the shade ruining the raspberry plants so far 🤦‍♀️🤣

Meet Meg 😍 (front and right).

She's recently been rescued and we're going to be helping her with her dog training foundations with a particular focus on recall 💪 Her and her new brother Charlie are bonding really beautifully and Charlie is coming along for the dog training ride too 🥰

This pair are utter sweethearts. The softest souls to the core, both of them. They couldn't have been match made any better. No surprise, being a working line girl, Meg was having a ball learning new things. Can't wait to see her progress 🤎
