Two dogs, two different motivators, one goal: loose lead walking ✨🐾

Skye thrives on engagement, energy and treats, while Freddie loves food, praise and connection. 💚

We want to build the foundations for walking with us, not just getting somewhere.

Different dogs. Individual training. Same goal.💪

🐶Where's my Trainer at… 👀

Even at Small/Medium Playtime, when there are friends to play with and SO much going on, Honey still knows that her favourite place to be is right here! 🐾

That’s the beauty of building those foundations over time. engagement, focus, recall, middle position and learning that checking in with your human is ALWAYS worth it.

From tiny 8-week-old Honey to this confident, clever girl… watching her skills come together has been so much fun!

And yes… apparently I’m still part of playtime too 🙌💕

Plus - the In-Depth conversation face is real 😂 complete with double chin.

✨ Then ➡️ Now ✨

From an adorable 8-week-old puppy to an incredible 15-week-old superstar! 🦊🐾

Honey never ceases to amaze me. This beautiful Red Fox Labrador loves to learn, especially when treats are involved! 🍖 Her confidence has grown every week, and seeing her smash her emergency stop with Mum, makes me so proud.

Her favourite skill? Without a doubt... Middle position! ❤️

A huge shout out to Joe and Olivia for all the hard work they've put in at home, it's really paying off.
I can't wait to see what this clever girl achieves next! 🌟

Little Minnie has absolutely smashed her puppy foundations and is proving just how much she loves learning! ✨🐾

With the help of her little human (and even her big brother Max the cat 🐱), training has become a real family affair. Max couldn't resist joining in and showed off a brilliant sit and wait for his treat too! 💚

Proof that with consistency, patience and a little teamwork, every member of the family can join the fun. 🐶🐱✨

✨Body Language with Beth ✨

Not every dog wants to say hello... and that's okay! 💛

🚫 Skip the interaction if either dog is showing:
• Stiff body language
• Lip licking
• Pulling or fixating
• Intense staring

✅ Go ahead if both dogs are:
• Loose and relaxed
• Soft, open mouths
• Calm, neutral body language
• Relaxed, swishy tails

✨ Top tips:
• Keep greetings short and sweet, especially for puppies, who can become overexcited and go over threshold quickly.
• Always reward calm, positive interactions with treats or praise. This helps your dog understand they've made a good choice and makes them more likely to repeat that behaviour. 🐾

Let's Talk 🗣️ Part 2:
The Extendable (Flexi) Lead ✨🐕‍🦺

The lead everyone loves to debate... 😂

When used correctly, an extendable lead can be a great tool! 🐾

Think wide open parks, fields and countryside where your dog has the freedom to safely sniff, explore and enjoy a little more independence.

They're not designed for loose lead walking, busy pavements or close-quarter environments where you need your dog by your side.

✨ The Plus Points
More freedom to explore, no trailing line to manage and quick, convenient to use.

One thing they're not... they're not a replacement for a long line when practising recall.

The Technical bits & bobs -
🔸Choose a trusted well reviewed brand like Flexi ( also Maya approved ✅)
🔸Go for a tape lead, not a thin cord
🔸Check it's rated for your dog's weight
🔸Regularly inspect the tape and locking mechanism
🔸Use in open spaces, not busy streets

Top tip 👉 Take a secondary lead like the Halti Multi Lead from Part 1 you can wear it across your body ( hand free 👐) and switch out if your walk is in varied areas 🏘️🌳

The right tool, in the right place, for the right reason. 🐾✨
