Today we had Peppa working on her lead walking and ignoring people - she even voluntarily went up to a man sitting on a bench to sniff him before walking away without any prompts from me!
Rosie working on engagement, lead walking and having fun.
Riley working on ignoring people and dogs - she walked past 3 pushchairs, 2 bikes and lots of walkers and stayed focused on me.
Macy practicing her skills including around, stop and heel and had play time with her toys.
And finally, Walt working on his recall around birds and ducks and his ability to listen to cues when excited. Charlie just comes along for the ride because he is the best boy πŸ˜‡

It's been a slow start to the week as I've come down with a nasty cold 🀧

We've been taking it slow on our walks - focusing on lots of sniffing, enrichment, stationary behaviours like stays and settling in public, and not so much long distance walking.

George had a great walk and is getting better and better with his lead walking and confidence out and about. Today we did treat searches to get his nose working.
Bailey had some off lead time and worked on passing other dogs whilst focusing on me and then we worked on his obedience cues.
Otis had his first go with the flirt pole and it was a HUGE hit. It will really help to get out some of that adolescent energy whilst teaching impulse control at the same time. We then did a bit of "do nothing" training - which he finds really tough being an on the go teenager.
Piglet had a nice stroll somewhere new - sniffing out all the rabbit tracks and holes before habing a sit down together to watch the world go by.

I also got some of the best cuddles from the best boy - nothing like a puppy cuddle to make you feel better πŸ’•

Ending the work week on a high with these guys 🐾

Koda had a really positive walk - even when we were faced with 2 very reactive little dogs that were barking like crazy and pulling towards him from across the road, he was able to remain calm and focus on me πŸ‘πŸΌ

Piglet was back to her usual fun-loving self after a very mysterious hind leg injury. It is so great to know she is feeling good again, which she made clear by wanting to run everywhere at lighting speed ⚑️

Bailey's mum and dad had an owner coaching session, learning how to manage walking him with the pram. We have been working on a few skills together that make walking alongside the pram easier for him. It will still take a bit of work and practice, but he has been doing a great job considering he is used to a lot more freedom on his walks which is now being taken away when the pram comes along (for obvious safety reasons!) πŸ₯°

A week ago today, doggy heaven gained another angel πŸ‘ΌπŸŒˆπŸΎ

Grief works in strange ways. On one hand it feels like we've been navigating life without her for ages, on the other hand it feels like only yesterday she was snuggling with us on the couch. One moment you can look back at memories with a laugh and smile, then the next moment the same memories bring you to tears.

We are still settling into this new version of normal. We keep her in our thoughts every day, we memorize her body, her coat, her barks, and her quirks so that we don't forget the little things. Kobe is getting lots of love and attention, he is definitely more cuddly and needy at the moment but is generally coping well.

All I can say is that if there is something you have been meaning to do with your dog, no matter how small it may seem, do it while you can. Don't wait for "next time" because tomorrow isn't always promised πŸ’

Back to it this week 🐾

Today we had Forest who did some tracking and ball play, showing off her impulse control skills βœ‹πŸΌ
Sophie enjoyed the park, ignoring other people and dogs as well as making a few new friends πŸ’•
Macy is learning a new skill "around", meaning to loop around an object and had a play with her football ⚽️
Kora had a lovely calm lead walk focusing on her parkour skills as well as ignoring other dogs 🌳
Otis did some work on his lead walking, focus, recall and settle skills, but that was pretty hard after being cooped up after his neuter last week πŸ˜…
Finally we had Buddy and Jeff who worked on their walking skills and got a bit of a run to try and get some of that endless foxy energy out πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

In memory of our precious girl Kiara (Dec 2015 - June 2026) πŸ’˜πŸΎ

After returning home from our holiday last week, we were hit with completely devastating and unexpected news. Last Sunday night we were told that our girl Kiara had a huge tumour on her spleen that had ruptured and caused internal bleeding, the kindest and most loving thing we could do was let her go πŸ’”

While our hearts are totally shattered and we are trying to come to terms with the loss of our sweet girl, we are incredibly grateful that we were given a little bit of time at home with her before saying our final goodbye. On Tuesday morning, surrounded by so much love and in the comfort of our home, Kiara peacefully went to sleep 🌈

The hole she leaves behind is truly enormous. Kiara was more than just a dog to us, she was family for 10.5 yrs, our loyal companion, and a constant source of love, laughter, comfort, and happiness. We will always love her more than words can express, our world has been completely turned upside down.

We are taking the time to navigate this grief and to give plenty of love and support to her brother Kobe, as he adjusts to life without his big sister and best friend.

Kiara was one of the inspirations behind this business. She struggled with dog reactivity after being badly attacked by a dog at daycare. She was so strong, brave and trusting, letting me guide her through her trauma, and together we built such a strong and meaningful bond. It is because of her that I am where I am today and I will forever be grateful to her for teaching me how to be patient, empathetic, kind, and non judgemental in my approach to dog training. The same approach that I pride myself in using with all of my clients.

Kiara, you will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, our precious little Angel. Rest in peace now. You were our favourite hello and our hardest goodbye πŸ’”

Until we meet again beautiful girl ### πŸŒˆπŸΎπŸ’πŸ‘Ό

Our much loved boy now named 🌟Pedro🌟 has been waiting for his forever home for months πŸ˜”

No dog deserves to grow up in the pound but that is exactly where this boy has been since been he was a little puppy. He really needs a home of his own with people to love and care for him as he deserves πŸ’•

If you know of anyone looking for a fun, active, social, loving, handsome, and smart teenage companion, please tell them to come and visit Pedro and they will fall in love... how could they not?! 😍
