A little shoutout post for Blue the cocker spaniel and his mum Nic.
Blue has been training with us on and off since he was little. We've been with him for his puppyhood, into adolesence and all that comes with it, and working through each behaviour challenge as they cropped up throughout Blue's development. Training doesn't stop after puppy class and in fact some of the trickiest training challenges come to light during young adulthood. With changing hormones and maturity, come changing emotions and confidence levels.
Blue has been absolutely smashing his training recently, so on our last session I brought along both of my dogs and we went out for a walk to work on off-lead recall, recalling away from playing with another dog and other high level distractions.
Blue nailed it. He even recalled off a squirrel that ran right across our path!
I am so thrilled with his progress, and what a joy to know that Blue can enjoy safe off lead fun with the confidence that he can be called back when needed. Training to a high level allows our dogs a significant amount more freedom, and that should be what it's all about!
Well done Blue ❤️🥳
