Buddy's Dog Gear

Structured play combines high energy activities, like tug and fetch, with training.
Instead of endless chaotic play, it has clear rules and obedience commands with rest breaks in between.
This will build better listening skills, impulse control, boundaries as well as mental tiredness as it engages the brain, not just the body, which tires dogs out faster than physical exercise alone.
Your dog will love it!😄🐕‍🦺

I really dislike licky or snuffle mats being marketed as enrichment tools.
The dog doesn't have to work very hard to get the food, what enrichment do they actually get!
Scent pots are so much better, you can do so much more with them and your dog will have to actually use it's nose and brain before they get rewarded, your dog will love it!

Buddy learning to reverse into middle.
I am surprised again at how fast Buddy picked this manoeuvre up.
He loves learning and using his mind, he thrives on it.
Give your dog something new to learn, you and your dog will love it!🥰🐕‍🦺

Buddy loves his ball.
I have achieved so much with Buddy, by using his ball to get the behaviours I want.
Playing with your dog is one of the best training tools there is!😍🐕‍🦺

I was so lucky to capture this recall, so often, I miss all the good stuff!
The pheasant was in long grass and we had no idea it was there until it took off, Buddy was only a few feet away from it.

Buddy has a high drive to chase anything that "flies", so this was a real test for him.

Both times I called, he turned quickly in response to me, it was a shame he needed 2 commands but I'm still very pleased with his recall.
A bird exploding out of long grass is the ultimate test for a high-drive dog.

All Buddy's training has been done with play and his ball, it is such a powerful training tool and gets overlooked too often.
A ball taps directly into a dog's predatory drive. It builds an enthusiastic recall because coming back to you equals maximum fun.
