Today Elton was learning strategies (i.e. his games) to develop his skills in being able to lower his level of arousal (i.e. level of excitement, whether that be positive excitement or being anxious, scared or worried about something) and bring himself back to a positive emotional state in order to feel better and be able to focus on his mum away from said distraction. This will help Elton in many aspects of everyday life including all the novelty that happens on walks. As always, all games are practiced at home and in low distraction environments first at a level the dog is currently capable of. Elton had his first go at Two Feet, my favourite game for lowering arousal, resetting (is his brain with his mum) and boosting confidence. Elton was unsure at first about placing his front paws onto a novel object, now watch him! Rehearsal is key. Well done Elton, and very nice groom by The Dog House - Dog Grooming handsome boy!

Outstanding recall from Blu! Well it’s not a recall really if she keeps choosing to check back in herself. After many attempts this session to try a longer distance recall (which wasn’t happening because Blu was choosing to stay close and check in before I even called which is exactly what I want) here it is, and always remembering to make it a Really good deal when the dog checks back in and chooses to do so by itself. Good job Blu Blu!

Look, look, look who I had the privilege of meeting for the first time only a couple of days ago! Meet Elton! He is greaaat! Elton is learning to value his mum even more and that everything is not his business - not sure he will agree with that! He is a big, strong boy and will be learning to walk on lead more appropriately, listen to his mum and control his levels of excitement. Elton and his mum did really well at their first session. Next session Elton - disengagement skills!! Can't wait!

Real life in the moment training yesterday. Concept training focuses on learning skills “for” the situation so the dog is better equipped for when “in” the situation happens. Blu has learnt many skills already so here you can her applying those skills; disengaging from the event, it’s really none of her business & nothing to worry about & ability to still focus on & listen to me. She is a pretty optimistic dog which certainly determines whether a dog is likely to think something is ok or something to worry about. So here you can see a very novel event & Blu copes with it very well.

Love this and such a beautiful day. Practicing calmness around other livestock and novelty as always.

So what would you say this rock formation looks like?

It is known as the Dancing Bear though many people prefer to think of it as a dog - no surprise I am one of the latter. It is definitely a dog to me!

It is millions of years old and one of the many spectacular moorland rock formations at Brimham Rocks in Yorkshire. Formed when massive rivers deposited sand and quartz which was then compressed and hardened into a type of rock called Millstone Grit. Glaciers and harsh winds sculpted the exposed stone into such shapes.

I could have been back in the Granite Belt!

Never far away from a dog!

Check out how much Blu values recall and checking back in. I need to give hubby all the credit for this - he is definitely more sexy to Blu than the rest of the environment😆! Consider what recall and value for coming back in close means to the dog. Is it a really good deal …. it needs to be and not always going back on lead for example. This is just brilliant and highly impressive when there is so much else that is of high value to the dog too, especially in this rural setting. Blu demonstrates fantastic listening, thinking in high arousal (energy/activation level of the brain) and showing off disengaging/coming away from everything else. Now let’s see if I’m as sexy as hubby when I return home 😆😆.

Here I am with my very good friend Nicky Forsdyke who I last saw 2 years ago when I was back home in UK. Nicky is an exceptional games based concept pro dog trainer and gave me the amazing opportunity of assisting at one of her training classes. Her dog Bracken is such a sweetie and pro demo dog and loves her “roo” all the way from Oz! Look out for me playing my favourite Two Feet (or Paws On as Bracken knows it) in the next post. Bracken also allowed me to watch her hoopers training session - just brilliant.
