Taking Mum for a scoot 🛴🐾

This is such a big milestone!!.

I love seeing moments like this because it highlights that dog training isn’t just about teaching behaviours. It’s about building confidence, creating positive associations and helping our dogs learn how to process the world around them.

Physical movement is incredibly important for our dogs, but so is the cognitive work. Thinking, problem-solving, processing new environments and learning how to navigate something that once felt scary can be just as valuable.

Scooters have been a big fear for this girl. So rather than throwing her into the situation and expecting her to just cope, we’ve worked through it in small, achievable steps.

We’ve allowed her to observe, process and build confidence without flooding her.

And now… she’s taking Mum for a scoot! 😂🛴

That might look like a simple moment in a video, but for this girl it represents a huge amount of learning and progress.

This is why I love taking training outside of the traditional obedience environment. We can use movement, engagement, exploration and real-life experiences to help our dogs develop skills that transfer into everyday life.

We’re not trying to make the scary thing disappear overnight.

We’re teaching her that she can experience it, think about it, make good choices and discover that maybe scooters aren’t quite as scary as she once thought.

Small steps.
Good experiences.
No flooding.
Lots of learning. 🧠🐾

And watching a dog go from “I’m scared of that!” to “Come on Mum, let’s go!” is exactly why we do what we do. 💜

Got to meet this beautiful girl 😍

This little one has some exciting new skills to learn, including building better lead-walking skills and creating more clarity and connection with her handler.

There’s going to be lots of fun training ahead with this girl! 🐾 She has an amazing level of herding drive, so we’ll be putting that natural drive to good use while building engagement, focus and great everyday skills.

I’m looking forward to seeing this team grow and all the fun we’re going to have along the way! 💕

When you put in the work, complete the homework, and create clarity in your training, amazing things can happen. 💙

Training isn't just about teaching behaviours it's about building understanding, communication, and self-control.

This young boy absolutely loves his toys and would happily help himself whenever the opportunity arose! 😆 So instead of fighting against that motivation, we've incorporated it into his training.

Here, we're building impulse control and duration by asking him to maintain his behaviour while a highly valued toy is present. Learning to think before reacting is an important life skill for our dogs, and by making training clear, engaging, and rewarding, we can help them make better choices.

I'm so proud of the progress this team is making. Small steps, consistency, and putting in the work are what create lasting results. 🐾

I got to meet this beautiful little girl today 🥰

At just 16 weeks old, she already has a beautiful personality, a nice working drive, and is full of fun and smarts.

What I enjoyed most was meeting a handler who is ready to learn, willing to put in the work, and genuinely invested in helping her puppy succeed.

I also loved the curiosity throughout the session. Every question had a reason behind it, and when there wasn't an immediate answer, there was a willingness to learn and understand more. That's the kind of mindset that helps teams grow.

I'm looking forward to watching this team develop and seeing where their journey takes them. 👏❤️
