Chalkie’s School for Dogs Where paws and people learn together

Pony and puppy!
As someone who has absolutely no idea about horses, I have always made sure myself and my own dogs are horse aware. I use an experienced rider for teaching the young dogs to be under control and polite around these big and often nervous animals.

With the spring coming, my horse sessions are starting again. If you want to ensure your dog is pony aware and learn to understand what to do when near horses get in touch for more information. Group walks available for dogs after assessment.

Chuffed to bits with Brie's performance pinching a second place and massive congratulations to Trevaaa for third handled excellently by Tom Cantwell A lot to take in from the day, a lot learnt and most importantly a lot of laughs with new friends made.

Having a bit of heel work fun with Brie before work. Can you tell I woke her up?

It turns out, there’s a lot of pubs in the UK.
Are your dogs this chilled in the pub? Because there’s no way you can go anywhere without stopping off for a treat.

(Unedited so you have to be patient in the middle)
Not the most elegant but this was Brie’s first big jump. The second one you can see she worked it out 10x faster and a much cleaner jump.

NO LIVESTOCK IN THE FIELD AT THE TIME

Boundaries can be found anywhere so I head to the trail and used some mini jumps to practice overcoming these challenges.

Vinnie will from now on be recognised by his peers as the calm dog in the pub who is always walking on a loose lead 😍 good boy Vinnie.

Sit stay for these 3!
The brown one can be a little too much for other dogs and most things moving so I have spent a lot of time with desensitisation to these stimulating environments. 2 weeks ago he would’ve taken that fence with him to see the other dogs.

Puppy visits!!!
Nothing more therapeutic than hearing those little puppy shouts and being bitten on the jeans by the playful little terrors.

Extremely impressed with Claire Cole for the way she has raised this lovely litter of Labradors. I can’t wait to start puppy training in a few weeks time.

I offer a 4 month training course for puppies from 8 - 16 weeks old. Covering all the basics from toilet training to your first walk, socialisation and separation.

If you have a puppy pending or just got your bundle of joy, come see me for more details.

And just like that the end of the season is over. Beating, picking up and shooting. I have learnt so much about my own dogs and certainly found many faults in my handling.

If you want any training help, get in touch.

I had the pleasure last week to join this gentleman picking up on a small shoot.
It was Brie’s first day out without her sister doing all the work and she took to it very well. I believe she really has been watching Hermione this season.

If you are looking to get into gundog training Tom Cantwell really is as good as he looks.

I had the privilege of helping this lovely pair with some loose lead walking. What a huge transformation. I was greeted with jumps and pulls but after saying the magic words, giving lots of love and plenty of encouragement we were able to teach this beauty the rules. Homework has been set and I can’t wait for the follow up session in a couple of weeks time.
