Too hot to train properly right now?

Exactly.

So rather than dragging your dog out in this heat and trying to force progress, why not get something booked in for when things cool down and start building skills that actually transfer into real life?

**Workshops are landing next weekend** — and these aren’t just “fun little tricks.”

They’re practical enrichment sessions designed to build:

• Better focus around distractions
• Faster check-ins and reorientation back to you
• Improved engagement on walks
• More thoughtful decision making
• Better emotional regulation
• A stronger working relationship between you and your dog

And yes… That often means huge improvements in:

✔ Loose lead walking
✔ Recall foundations
✔ General obedience
✔ Over-arousal
✔ Frustration-based behaviours
✔ Dogs that struggle to switch off
✔ Reactivity work foundations

**Workshop 1: The Focus Blueprint – £35 (90 mins)**
Simple, easy-to-use games and movements you can use daily without it feeling like “training.”

Quick, practical exercises that slot into everyday life and teach your dog that checking in with you is always worth it.

Small habits. Big behavioural change.

**Workshop 2: The Urban Agility Blueprint – £35 (90 mins)** (Thats the video)
Learn how to turn the environment around you into training opportunities.

Benches, bollards, trees, walls, steps — all become tools for building focus, confidence, engagement and impulse control out on real walks.

This gives your dog a productive job instead of going self-employed after a squirrel.

**Workshop 3: The Scent Detection Blueprint – £55**
Includes your own scent tin to take away and use on walks.

One of the best ways to provide meaningful mental enrichment, improve decompression, build calm focus and create a portable outlet for busy brains.

These workshops can all be done as standalones… But together they build into a full enrichment and engagement system that creates calmer, more connected, more responsive dogs.

If your dog struggles with overstimulation, pulling, lack of focus, poor engagement, or simply needs a better outlet than endless physical exercise…

This is exactly where to start.

FREE pack walk at Foxfields Counry Park. Sunday the 24th May, 10.00am start, @ NN4 5BE

These pack walks are suitable for all dogs aged 20wks and up. Reactive dogs are fine so long as they are not seriously aggressive. If you are unsure, please contact me for a chat. I also don’t allow slip leads, prong collars, ecollars or any other type of corrective collar. Face harnesses are OK if required for safety (big dog, little person. lol). If you have training that need addressing, we can certainly look at that for you and advise on the walk.

The Foxfields walk is a very open, easily managed walk so ideal for those who are training and might need to get some extra distances or space (or for the pups that need to be carried or have the walk shortened). The only close sections can be easily circled around and I point these parts out to people on the way around. It also usually has a kid’s football match going on, if that’s useful for training/socilisation.

All dogs are kept on lead and you’re fine to hang back if you and your dog needs a little space. We have young and old dogs of all sizes here. People are encouraged NOT to let dogs interact (without owners permission) and this is a nice way to be around likeminded people and enjoy a nice walk (with time to ask questions along the way)

I also make sure I spend time with everyone there, to make sure we’re all having a good time. All additional information is provided when you book.

You can book (this, a free call, or anything else) by following this link and scrolling down to the pack walk section - https://ChasingPawfection.as.me/

More info is automatically sent to you when you book. See you there!

Hey all... Nothing dog related. But after training today I popped into a craft market to see a friend. It's their 2nd ever stall, and they make some awesome crochet projects so just wanted to share the love!

If you wanted to check them out, it's Ruby's Curioddities and their just starting a little page, so drop in and like it, if you wanna check out some crafty goodness! Every small business needs a little helping hand!

Hey all. Just a little warning for Upton Country Park. There are "enforcement officers" trying to give out £100 fines with the threat of court appearances. They left an old lady shaking and in tears from what I gathered by a passer by, and the lovely café had to help her out.

This notice appears at the Elgar car park, with the one in the main car park showing different information.

Just an FYI.

People love saying positive training “doesn’t work” for real-world recalls… Until they watch a dog fully commit to birds, hit the brakes mid-run, and turn straight back to the handler...

This type of recall isn’t magic.
It’s built through engagement, repetition, reinforcement history, and a dog that actually wants to work with you.

A lot of the dogs I work with don’t just need obedience ... They need better connection, better value to us, and clearer communication.

That’s exactly the sort of thing we work on in my Blueprint workshops and training sessions. Not just “commands”, but building a dog that chooses to check in, listen, and work with you even around distractions.

If you’d like help building that with your own dog, feel free to check out the link below to see whats available, book in a free pack walk or a free call with me.

The crochet group I help with decided to get me a tshirt. 🤣

The last round of workshops filled fast… So I’ve opened up the next block!
This weekend, we have the Focus Blueprint, this Saturday.

Ive a fantastic video that a client made, of using loads of the same things were teaching on this workshop and showing how it helps with engagement. So check that out on the page!

Heres a rundown of all of the workshops though.

The Focus Blueprint
For dogs that struggle to switch on with you. Simple, effective games you can drop straight into your walks … No equipment, no setup, just better engagement and a calmer dog.

Urban Agility Blueprint
Turn the world into your training ground. Benches, walls, logs… All become tools, not distractions. Build confidence, focus, and control using what’s already around you.

Scent Work Blueprint (new)
Teach your dog to search for specific scents … And actually understand what they’re doing. You’ll also get a take-home pocket kit so you can keep it going long after the session.
—
These aren’t weekly courses.
No long-term commitment. No “you can only do this here” nonsense…
Just 90-minute workshops that give you practical, usable skills you can take straight into your normal life … And actually stick with. The whole point is that you can use this every day, and not at a special training field, or at class.

Each workshop is capped at just 6 dogs, so you’re not lost in a crowd and you actually get the time, coaching, and detail you need to make it work for you.

If you want a dog that’s:
✔ Easier to live with
✔ More mentally fulfilled
✔ Able to switch on and switch off
This is where you start.
