We also had our Skills for life Silver course graduation, it was such a shame that Walnut and Lottie couldn't make it for graduation night, they have worked so hard as well.
Our Silver class, builds on what the dogs learnt from the Bronze class, and builds more steadiness, mindfulness, and ability to cope around distractions. Learning lots of useful behaviours they can use forever.
Shep was an absolute star, he struggled with over arousal, and through allowing Shep to dictate the pace of learning (Canine initiated learning) he was able to self regulate much better and became much calmer. Shep's guardian has done an amazing job.
Also over the 6 weeks the dogs have been learning how to chain together separate behaviours to perform a trick. As we started in October we worked on getting a toy and dropping it into the Trick or Treat bucket. Shep smashed it and did an amazing job, I'm super proud of team Shep.
On Tuesday our Childswickham venue Puppy School puppies graduated as well!!
Congratulations to Max, Winston and Lola - most improved. It's been lovely seeing you all grow in confidence and skills over the last 6 weeks, Well done, and I hope to see you again in 2025!!
We have had lots of graduations over the last two weeks and I've gotten rather behind with photos.
Our Young dog class graduated on Monday 25th November - congratulations to Nala and Nick who did an amazing job, I however appear to have lost the photo's from that evening 😠so I have nothing to show - so very sorry folks.
Then a big shout out and congratulations to our Puppies at our Wyre Piddle venue who graduated on Monday 9th December.
Well done to Fudge, Stan, Mabel and Bonnie (who was also voted the most improved), and Stan won the best trick. Lots of fun was had, including the kids dressing up to help with the puppies desensitisation of new and novel clothing/hats/masks and coloured hair!!
Well done everyone, have a great xmas and I look forward to hopefully seeing you all in 2025. xx
