Aawww!
A certain cocker, called Fen, had a very productive recall lesson today.

Fen is doing very well in his training, he's just over a year old and very much in the adolescence phase with lots of testing!
He's a confident, strong minded dog who has previously been running the show around the house and outside.
His owner is a very dedicated chap, putting a lot of work into creating a well rounded, balanced and responsive dog.

Fen had big form for tantrums when not able to get what he wanted, he'd erupt by jumping up, nipping at the human or the lead, sometimes both.

With the right guidance and training being implemented this little teenager is turning a corner! A far more patient, aware and responsive Fen is emerging 👌

This is a very important time for consistent and calm leadership to be in place

Some lovely clients to fill my sunday morning up!
2 working cockers...little Ori is 6 months old and Fen is just over a year old.

Little Ori and his lovely owner are continuing their engagement, recall and heel education. Learning that its important to be 'colourful' and more interesting in our vocal tones as the dog becomes far more interested in us and what we have to offer rather than the environment around them.

Fen came across from the Durham area again for his 1st lesson after his initial assessment a couple weeks ago. His owner has done a wonderful job implementing my advice with some issues they were having with him and a far calmer dog turned up today ready for learning!
With Fen we worked on his heel work amongst dog scent and general grass terrain. He has been a very very keen scent marker and they've needed help sorting this habit out and building better habits so he continues his loose lead but still connected with the human at the end of it!
We also worked his recall training.

Lovely developments in them all today and plenty of things to be working on until the next lessons 👌

Orla's owner arrived for a handover and training session yesterday, prior to then taking Orla home.

Orla was with me for 2 weeks residential training. Her main issues were boundaries, recall, big lead puller and big sheep chaser.
Shes come a long way, and I liked how her owner took everything on board to maintain and grow Orlas training in the future.

Orla has come along very well with her anti sheep chasing education. She had quite the track record for sheep chasing.
She's now self correcting and actively avoiding them which is super. Her owners will be continuing her sheep training exposure in the days, weeks & months ahead to make sure its consistently maintained going into the future.

It's been a busy afternoon with my 6.5 month girl Hettie and residential girl Orla teaching them about not chasing sheep.
This education will then be transferred into other sheep classrooms and also onto other prey....rabbits, squirrels, birds etc

Orla arrived with quite the sheep chasing background! She is, however, now self correcting 🥳 and I will continue to expose her to different sheep classrooms in this, her final week with me

The lovely Orla arrived for 2 weeks board and train recently. She's a lovely girl who could be a little unsure to begin with. After spending a few days building trust with her she's coming along very nicely.
Orla came in mainly for some tidying up, we're working on her heel work, engagement, recall and leaving distractions.

Her engagement is improving nicely, recall is becoming more consistent and heel work is vastly improved👌

Lovely to meet new clients for an assessment today, with their boy Fen, all the way from the Durham area.

Fen's owners plan to use him as a peg dog and some rough shooting in the future.
He's done a great job with him so far, then adolescence has kicked in and holes in the training have appeared! The assessment highlighted where structure, boundaries and the all important off switch is needed.
We made some wonderful progress today and I'm looking forward to working with them
