Jig is a year old now.
We STILL stop to look at novelty, mark and reward check -ins and move on at her pace.
Lots of input for an adolescent dog here, extreme wind, new horse neighbours and they were paddling in splashy water!
So we watch and feel safe, before moving on ☺️
Be kind and gentle through adolescence with your pup.
Distance is your friend.

Hoopers fun after class with my girl. I am still running like a zombie, but she is learning to go ahead and follow a toy 🥳🩷

I am very happy with my little girl! She joined in my Hoopers class! I really want to work on distance handling with her, but this was too good an opportunity to miss.
She behaved so well in the class, coped beautifully with the distractions of other dogs,and did some iddy-biddy Hoopers!
My take home is to work on my running - my knee is still a bit stiff, so I run like a zombie!!

Have you been working on your preparation for Bonfire Night?
🔥🎉🧨
Start with low volume sounds tracks as background noise - LOW, LOW VOLUME - and build gradually.
If at any point your dog pays a lot of attention to the sound, go lower volume!

More swimming for Jig 🩷.
I think she has done twice as much as last time, she swam really well!
We are doing this to create muscle strength, to support her joints. She has very lax ligaments and her movements can be really bouncy, or out of control. So strength in her muscles and joints will prevent injury.
Thanks to 🌊☺️

Not my best photography, but this needs sharing!
This is my Activities Class, we are training towards our Kennel Club Silver Award, and a calm, relaxed, well controlled pavement walk is needed for the test.
They absolutely nailed it, not just that, but some of these dogs have historically been fearful and nervous when out walking in the big world.
Absolutely amazing progress today!
