A big welcome to the lovely Lilly, an 8 month old rescue Portuguese Pointer. Lilly's owners got in contact for help with loose lead walking, recall, reactivity, separation prevention and general settling into her new home. We met her this week for her initial assessment and practical which she did really well in!

On the weekend we met this lovely Cane Corso puppy called Bella for a puppy 121 πŸ’• We gave advice on loose lead walking, crate training, body language, managing interactions with the other dog in the home and basic obedience. She's only 14 weeks currently so it's great her owners are putting on the right training foundations early on!

All the puppies today to start our weekend πŸ₯° We had two new clients this morning who needed our help.

First Nala the corgi pup who needs some help with toileting in the home. Then we popped along to see Winnie the lab pup who needed some support with disengaging around other dogs! She picked up the training instantly and had a fantastic session.

We hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

Today we popped over to see the lovely little spaniel, Honey for progress check in. We've referred her back to her lovely vets for some further investigations.

We then picked up Dottie to to help Max regain some confidence going back into the garden. Max is very undersocialised being kept in a crate in a barn for the first few years of his life. He is very noise sensitive and is worried about the outside world, he had a set back recently so has been finding it difficult to leave the house again so we called in reinforcements (Dottie) to help build his confidence back up. He made some good progress today and we've got some small goals to work towards at his pace.

Then we had a walk with another Max who we've not seen in a little while, he was a good boy πŸ₯°

Yesterday we caught up with Albe after a short break, all the training made him sleepy and his pizzle was a great pillow apparently πŸ˜‚

We also had our training walk with Goose working on calm behaviours around other dogs, he smashed it! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

A busy Monday today, we welcomed two newbies Rosie and Cindy πŸ‘‹πŸΌ Then working on Goose's settle behaviour in public places and Gunners training walk πŸ₯°

Rosie's owner got in contact for help with overactive behaviours at home. We've recommend some breed specific outlets such as gun dog training and scent work to help with breed fulfilment which should curb some of her overactive behaviours in the home.

Cindy's owners got in contact for help with hard mouthing, counter surfing, inability to settle as well as general obedience. We had an initial consultation to discuss her history and behaviour problems at length. We've identified a few behaviour concerns that would indicate underlying pain so we've recommend a pain trial in the meantime while we get her programmes written up.

We had Goose's training walk, working on settling in public places and reactivity towards dogs. After a rocky few weeks he seems to have settled down and was an angel today on his session!

We then saw Gunner for his walk, he did some fabulous engage and disengage around other dogs and his recall was spot on as always!

My daughter has started school this month so it's been a busy one so far while she's been settling in. Once she's in full time we'll be able to open up our availability to every day of the week instead of part time!

This is Maple and her gloriously silly ears 😝 Maples owner got in contact for help with reactivity and resource guarding in the home so we headed over for an initial consultation yesterday evening to get some more information. Her owners reported that she has a classic "terrier hop" which is actually known as a luxating patella and can be painful so we've advised a vet visit to see if it's causing her any pain before we start training!
