When you get sent a video from Jerry’s owners, with the title ‘Jerry living up to his springer name’… it has to be shared on here 🤣.

It makes me so proud that Jerry’s owners have such an epic bond with their sweet boy, that they can enjoy just watching him be off, doing his thing in pure happiness.
Hope you’ve all had the best weekend. Some introductions are to come tomorrow for new members of the CC crew 🥰🐾

Good morning! Happy Thursday…
Just wanted to do a little post to welcome some new followers here, I’ve had a full on but lovely week seeing my regulars and also welcoming some amazing new clients!

Just thought I’d share my entertaining morning antics with you all. On a lovely bright and early dog walk this morning, I was sleepily rummaging through my pockets to find some treats to scatterfeed. Little did I realise that I was actually putting my hand into an untied used p**p bag 🤣🤮🐾. Hoping we’ve all been there?!
What’s worse? Is my hand lingered in the bag for sometime while I deliberated the possibility that I’d picked up some very moist dog treats as opposed to the hard kibble I knew I’d taken out with me.

It’s safe to say, that hand is absolutely out of use until I can get myself to a sync with some soap!🤣🤣

I’m always here to keep it real, in the hope to give someone a giggle/ squirm to start their day🤗🤭

When one of your clients messages to say could we meet to say goodbye as they are moving out of the area, you arrive and get given a beautiful bunch of flowers and mutually agree that this isn’t a goodbye but a see you soon as they will be coming back to the area for more fun and games with me…. Well what can I say ❤️🥹🐾.

It’s the hard part of my job, the saying goodbye when the time comes. However, luckily for me it’s often not an actual goodbye because either we bump into eachother when I’m out and about and I get the best greetings ever… or we get to have fun extra bonus sessions for a good old catch up and continued enrichment… or the goodbye never comes because we all just have you much fun we carry on training!

Want to wish my lovely client so much luck with their new home, and I can’t wait to catch up soon x

Meet Indie! What a pleasure it is to work with such an awesome little puppy, and wonderful family. Here she is just a day after having her session on ‘emergency stop’ practicing what she’d learned. So proud of her. We are working on building confidence and happiness in all the ways with this gorgeous girl, plus lots of whistle training and eventually some Gundog and possibly scent work training too & helping build structure and calmness at home as-well. Can’t wait to see this girl grow and shine x

Meet Murphy, or Smurf as his Auntie Katie calls him 🤣🐾🥰. He and his epic mum KarriAnn, have been having some sessions for a short while now, mainly focusing on gundog training. I’ve absolutely loved guiding them through the foundations of impulse control, lines out, whistle cues (stop, quartering, hunt and recall), as well as tidying up his delivery which he could find a little exciting overwhelming, he’s looking so much more happy with it, and we can now work on bringing him in closer and potentially getting that inhand delivery . I can’t tell you how proud of this team I am, KarriAnn and Murph have been working so hard this month, and the results speak for themselves. Also love even more that Murph gets the zoomies in excitement when I arrive for his session. Can’t wait for more Gundog fun, and giggles next week x

I was beyond proud of Ruby do this week in her gundog session.
These deliveries of dummies are becoming so reliable which is always the icing on the cake, when she’s also spent the entire session working her socks of, tracking scent whilst in a busy open environment. In the last retrieve we were being followed by a cockapoo, and a large husky had entered the field close by- Ruby didn’t bat an eyelid, she listened to her quartering signals and even managed a few stops aswell.

Gundog training will always have a soft spot in my heart for the joy it gives these pet working dogs, the structure it provides and the connection with their owner it builds.
So good to see it all paying off in these real life situations.

So so proud of this gorgeous girl, and her mum- they are both doing amazingly, and believe me happy dances were had 🤣🐾🥰 x

We have another bank holiday on our hands! I think gorgeous Henry knows the vibe 🤣🤣.

Henry has been such a superstar learning all sorts of things in his 1:1’s.
We’ve been focussing on
-calmness greeting guests
-cooperative care for grooming
-on bed and settle
-recall, and other engagement activities (whistle training)
-scent work

This week we are going to build confidence to go off lead on walks as he’s doing so well with his focus now!
Good job team Henry 🥰🐾

Sooo… a little secret we’ve been keeping.
As you know it’s recently been our 5 year business anniversary of Considering Canines.

To celebrate, we’ve been doing some business development, lots of CPD as always, plus… the exciting bit… we’ve been working with a fantastic graphic designer, to create ourselves a brand new logo!
Riley had to be at the heart of our logo, as he is the reason I first found my passion with dog training, and is my absolute heart and soul. Our graphic designer used inspiration from one of our professional photos of Riley, to create our logo and we absolutely love it.
The first photo, our main new logo, the second a few stamps, and badges you may also see us using.

We have you all to thank from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to grow and thrive. We haven’t changed, just given ourselves a little facelift. We hope you love it as much as we do 🥰🐾.

When your spaniel sees your lying in the sunny spot, so decides to puppy pile on top of you to soak it in too… I’ve been nap trapped now for a good hr 🤣🥰💤, by the looks of his paw placement on my arm, I’m going nowhere soon!

This is what bank holiday weekends are all about right?

Happy Easter everyone 🐰🐣, feel free to pop your Easter bank holiday weekend photos below!

P.s. a very exciting post to come shortly, keep your eyes peeled 👀🥰

This beautiful boy AKA Jerry, is possibly the most wiggliest, sweetest, strongest and happiest boys, and now we can also add brave to my list of adjectives…

Iv’e held off posting for a little while as Mr Jerry gave us all a massive fright!
He went to a secure field a few Sundays ago with a couple of friends, and whilst I was driving home from seeing family, I got a text from Sam one of his people, to say Jerry was at the vets fighting for his life after being diagnosed with potential heatstroke.

Thank goodness both Sam and Jodi acted so fast when they noticed Jerry was starting to show signs of being unwell, and the vets were incredible too…
I can quite honestly say each and every dog I teach train and walk, hold a massive place in my heart so when they are poorly, it feels like the world stops for a little bit…
I was so relieved on Tuesday, whilst teaching at the Sang, that sweet boy Jerry had come for a walk there at the same time, and was as wiggly as in the video, he has been given the all clear by the vet and can carry on living his best life.
This scenarios can happen so fast, but I’m so happy that Jerry recovered so remarkably well. I might do a few posts soon with some first aid knowledge, to build confidence and awareness of the signs of things like heatstroke. You can also attend canine first aid workshops, for peace of mind alone these are so worth it. ❤️

A bit of a special video!!
My lovely clients Caroline and James got married a few weeks ago, and a few months prior to that we were discussing the wedding in a scentwork session, and we decided to try to train their gorgeous retriever Quinn to carry the rings down the isle!!

It went brilliantly (phewf 😅), and Quinn was such a superstar. Here’s the video of her test run (taken by Nathan), taking the ring basket from me, and carrying it to one of the best men and then coming back to me.

I’m so proud of Quinnie, and me and Nath were so honoured to be a part of Caroline and James’ wedding ❤️💍

I’d love to introduce you to my little Pip puppy, aka Pippy…
She’s a new welcome to the CC crew, and she’s bringing all the puppy joy with her. As she’s a springer like all of our pet gundogs, she’s got bags of drive and excitement for life and fizz… here we are in session 3, showing her that we can create fun in this wonderful open space. We’ve also spoken about routine, sleep, socialising her, and some fun gundog activities.

For me with puppies relationship building is absolutely key, showing her we will keep her safe, enjoy the world with her, and engage that nose too is paramount. Bond comes first though 🥹🐾🥰..

Look at this superstar showing some great engagement with her owners, and such amazing body language from the owners encouraging that check in 😎🥳

So excited to watch team Pip learn grow and be awesome x
