Our favourite pictures from the day.

Because next to all the training, structure and hard work… there is always time for a bit of fun at the training area too.

The best moments are not always the perfect heelwork or the fast recalls. Sometimes it is the muddy paws, the chaos, the zoomies and the little moments that make the best memories.

Dogs learn best when training also feels like a game. And honestly… so do we.

NEW DATE IS OUT! Bonding & Engagement Group Class (7+ months)

💛 What Is This Class About?

This class is designed for dogs 7+ months who already know some basics but struggle with focus around distractions.

We work on building:
• ✔️ Strong engagement with the handler
• ✔️ Reliable focus around other dogs & people
• ✔️ Motivation to choose YOU over the environment
• ✔️ Clear communication & teamwork
• ✔️ Structured play that builds relationship

Because obedience without relationship doesn’t last.

🎯 Why This Class Is So Important

Many dogs:
• Listen perfectly at home… but not outside
• Ignore cues when other dogs are around
• Get over-excited or distracted easily
• Struggle with recall in stimulating environments

This class bridges the gap between:
👉 “My dog knows it”
and
👉 “My dog does it anywhere.”

We teach dogs to work with you, not just for treats — building real-life reliability.

🧠 What Makes It Different?

This isn’t just obedience repetition.

It’s:
• Relationship-based training
• Confidence building
• Impulse control through engagement
• Structured exercises that create emotional connection
• Small group setting for personalised coaching

Dogs learn that:
✨ You are predictable
✨ You are fun
✨ You are worth focusing on
🐶 Perfect For Dogs Who:
• Are easily distracted outdoors
• Pull focus toward other dogs
• Have teenage behaviour (7–18 months especially)
• Need better recall foundations
• Have done puppy or obedience classes but need the next step
📈 Benefits You’ll See
Owners often notice:
• Better recall
• More eye contact
• Calmer behaviour around distractions
• Increased motivation to train
• Stronger handler-dog relationship

And most importantly…
You start feeling like a team.

Here’s a simple natural cooling and gut friendly treat recipe you can make with what you already have.

Golden Gut Friendly Frozen Bites

Ingredients

* 1 egg
* 3 to 4 tablespoons goat yogurt
* Half cucumber
* Small pinch turmeric
* Tiny pinch black pepper

Why these ingredients?

* Egg gives protein and healthy fats
* Goat yogurt is gentle on many dogs’ stomachs and supports gut health
* Cucumber is cooling and hydrating
* Turmeric may help inflammation
* Black pepper helps turmeric absorption, but only use a very tiny amount

How to make it

1. Blend or finely grate the cucumber
2. Mix cucumber with goat yogurt
3. Add the egg and whisk together
4. Add a very small pinch of turmeric and black pepper
5. Pour into ice cube trays or silicone moulds
6. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours

Perfect after walks, enrichment time, crate calming sessions, or hot days.

You can also spread the mix inside a lick mat before freezing for a longer calming activity.

Important:

* Use plain goat yogurt only with no sweeteners or xylitol
* Keep turmeric amounts small
* If your dog has stomach sensitivity, introduce slowly the first time

This video is not dog training related. But it is just as important to us.

At the training area, we do not just think about dogs. We think about nature too. This year again we are leaving some areas completely untouched for wildlife, we added a bird bath, a bee drinking station, and today we found baby birds already making themselves at home.

Wild areas matter. Bees need safe water sources. Birds need quiet spaces. Long grass protects insects, supports biodiversity and creates a healthier environment for every living thing around us.

For us, respecting animals should never stop with dogs.
