Training Tip Tuesday 🐾
Consistency is key 🔑

Use the same cues every time. Dogs thrive on clarity, and consistency helps them learn faster.

🐾 TRY IT:
Pick a behaviour like “down or sit”. Use the exact same cue and reward 5 times in a row.

Notice how quickly your dog catches on!

✨ Friday Challenge time! ✨

This week it’s all about the SPIN! 🌀🐶

👉 Can your dog turn in a full circle on cue?

Try luring them with a treat, guiding in a circle, and reward when they complete the spin.

Extra challenge: Can they do it both left AND right?

‼️ Warning Boast Post ‼️

🌟Huge congratulations to Zelda! 🌟

Still only 2 years old, this superstar has already achieved so much in her agility journey:

✨ Now sitting in Grade 5, she has earned enough points for her Kennel Club Agility Warrant Bronze! 🎉
✨ Not only that, she’s already halfway to her Silver Warrant 🎉

Her hard work, speed, and enthusiasm shine in every run, and this is just the beginning of her exciting career. We couldn’t be prouder of everything she’s achieved already 💪🐶

Here’s to many more milestones with our amazing girl, Zelda Starlight Princess 💫❤️

🌟 DOG OF THE WEEK: ZAZU! 🌟

Please give a huge round of applause to this week’s superstar — Zazu, our brilliant Australian Shepherd, who has just earned his Kennel Club, Agility Warrant Bronze! 🥉🐾

Zazu (AKA Liskarn Cirle of Life) has been absolutely smashing it on the agility field with focus, speed, and that signature Aussie determination. All their hard work has paid off with this amazing achievement.

We couldn’t be prouder to have them as part of our Rayleigh Canine Agility family and we can’t wait to see what they achieve next! 🏆

Please join us in giving Zazu a virtual round of applause! 👏🐕💬

Training Tip Tuesday 🐾
Reward the effort 🌟

Don’t wait for perfection—praise and reward every attempt your dog makes. Confidence grows when they feel supported, not pressured.

🐾 TRY IT:
Choose a skill your dog finds tricky. Mark and reward every attempt, even if it’s not perfect.

💬 Let us know in the comments if you saw a confidence boost in your dog!

📣 SATURDAY SKILL BUILDER
:
Weekend = time to teach something new! 🐾
Today’s skill suggestion: “Middle” – where your dog stands between your legs, facing the same way as you.

✨ Why teach it?
✅ Builds focus & body awareness
✅ Great for confidence
✅ Super cute for photos & reels
✅ Helps with heelwork, agility & engagement

🎯 TRY IT:
1. Stand with legs slightly apart.
2. Lure your dog through from behind using a treat.
3. When they’re in the middle, reward and praise!
4. Add a cue like “middle” or “peek” once they’re getting it.

🎥 Show us your progress and tag !

Let’s see those clever pups in action 😍
