🐾 Another Brilliant Evening with Our Monday Night Puppies 🐾
Tonight’s class saw our week 4 pups continuing to grow in confidence, focus, and their ability to work alongside their owners despite all the exciting distractions around them!
We spent the evening building on previous skills while introducing some new games to help strengthen communication and teamwork.
One of the games was the Hand Touch game, a simple but incredibly useful skill that can help with recall, moving your dog through different environments, and even making handling and vet visits feel less stressful.
We also began adding more meaning to behaviours by introducing the "Bed” cue, building on the settling and bed games we’ve been working on over the last few weeks. It was lovely seeing the pups starting to understand how rewarding calmness can be.
Impulse control made another appearance too, as we introduced the “Leave” cue, a potentially life saving skill.
Recall practice continued with another fun game designed to keep our pups engaged, responsive, and eager to check back in with their owners.
And finally, we finished with a round of “Drunk Walking”, helping owners develop the foundations for future loose lead walking.
Every week these puppies are growing not just in size, but in skills, confidence, and connection with their humans too, and we absolutely love seeing those relationships develop 💛
As next Monday falls on the Bank Holiday, classes will return in two weeks time, and we’re already looking forward to seeing this lovely group continue their progress together. And we will also introduce you to our newest recruits who are just beginning their journey with us.
See you all soon! 🐶
