🍂 Adventure-based learning in action!

5th - 9th October was full of fallen-tree parkour, gap jumps, balance challenges, hoops and obstacle sequences that got progressively trickier as the dogs found their feet.

We’ve been working on distance cues, send-arounds, overs and unders, alongside search and retrieve, invisible scent trails, and plenty of opportunities to hunt, sniff and problem-solve.

🌟 Special mentions to:

🐾 D for some brilliant work on the log sequences, plus making the most of opportunities to dig and explore.

🐾 B for fantastic loose-lead work around moving dogs, managing those distractions and staying connected.

🐾 H for beginning to get to grips with tic-tacs, building confidence with this new skill.

🐾 S for successfully following an invisible scent trail and finding the prize!

There’s been time for water play, social games, shredding and dissecting, and plenty of free choice too.
My adventures aren’t just about following instructions. They’re about giving dogs the chance to explore, use their noses, move their bodies and express natural behaviours.

29 September – 2 October 🌿

A week of problem-solving, scent work, natural behaviour outlets and some seriously impressive progress.

🐄 A huge shout-out to the Chowskis who faced one of their biggest livestock challenges yet.
They had to work around moving cows, including passing through their travel line and then dealing with the cows moving towards them at very close range.
Their ability to disengage, recall and continue moving calmly has come such a long way.
This is a massive change from where they started, particularly for S, and it's a brilliant example of why satisfying natural behaviours and building alternative skills can make prey drive much more manageable.

🐾 P has also been making lovely progress with engaging in more enrichment and predatory work, particularly shredding, searching and scatter feeding.

🌟 D has been tackling some increasingly complex obstacle sequences, with some brilliant work on footwork, balance and listening rather than simply predicting what's coming next.

Across the sessions there was plenty of scent work, retrieving, parkour, swimming, digging, shredding, social play and decompression.

Training isn't about taking away the behaviours that make dogs dogs. It's about giving them appropriate ways to use those behaviours, while building the skills they need to navigate the world. 🐕🌿

21st - 25th September

From scent work and tracking to parkour, predatory play, retrieving, problem-solving and plenty of decompression, the dogs had lots of opportunities to use their brains and natural behaviours.

🐾 Special mention to P, who has been making lovely progress with getting involved in more of the enrichment and predatory work, particularly shredding, searching and scatter feeding.
It’s been great to see her choosing to engage more and more.

🧠 D has been working hard on slowing down and listening rather than pre-empting cues, with some great progress on send-arounds, footwork and more complex sequences.

🌟 B has been tackling new challenges with some lovely confidence, including his first pull-up and over on the mile marker.

🐄 And a huge shout-out to S, A and J for their ongoing progress around livestock.
From huge reactions and chasing to being able to work, play and recall around livestock at close range, including off lead.
That is a massive change.

From chasing livestock to working alongside them 🐄

I’ve been working with Saphir, Azuri and Jasp on making their prey drive more manageable for both them and their owners.

The goal hasn’t been to suppress their natural instincts.

Instead, we’ve been giving those instincts appropriate outlets through predatory motor pattern work, play, chasing, searching, dissecting and other activities that allow them to use those behaviours in productive ways without fear or force.

When we started, their owners were relying on electric collars for safety and peace of mind around livestock.

As the dogs have developed better skills and more appropriate outlets for their predatory behaviour, that reliance has reduced significantly.

They’re now used only on vibration as an additional safety backup, rather than as a correction.

And the difference has been huge.

Saphir in particular went from crying, screaming, lunging, spinning on lead and trying to chase livestock, to being able to work in a field with livestock nearby, stay engaged, complete training activities and respond to cues.

All three have now progressed to being off lead around livestock when appropriate without the chasing, lunging or frantic behaviour we started with.

That’s what I want people to understand about prey drive.

It isn’t something we always need to eliminate.

We can teach dogs how to live with it, give it appropriate outlets and build the skills they need to make better choices.

The result isn’t a dog that suddenly has no prey drive.
It’s a dog whose prey drive is more manageable, more predictable and much easier for their owners to live with. 🐾

14th- 18th September

Dog parkour, scent work, retrieving, predatory play, footwork, swimming, obstacle courses and plenty of environmental exploration gave everyone plenty to think about.

✨ Special mention to L, who has been flying through her obstacle work this week, with lovely progress on balance beams, tic-tacs, direction switches and retrieves.

🧠 D has been working hard on listening rather than pre-empting cues, while also showing some brilliant send-arounds and obstacle work.

🌟 B deserves a mention for confidently tackling new challenges, including his first pull-up onto the mile marker and some lovely work on the balance equipment.

🐾 A also had a huge week, with fantastic progress around livestock, staying engaged with her games and recalls even while working in the same field as moving cows.

From hunting and retrieving to parkour, scent work, water play and plenty of decompression, another week of helping the dogs become more adaptable, confident and capable.

7th-11th September

Natural parkour, scent work, predatory play, retrieving, novel objects and plenty of free exploration gave the dogs lots of opportunities to think, move and make their own choices.

🌟 A had a huge week, with fantastic long-distance and whistle recall, growing confidence with jumping and a real eagerness to get involved.
Her recall is now looking seriously impressive having started with absolutely no recall!

✨ L deserves a special mention for getting involved in group play, something she rarely does, and for some brilliant obstacle work and impulse control throughout the week.

🧠 E impressed me with his spread jumps and his progression on the balance equipment, becoming much more confident with the narrower surfaces.

👏 B also made some lovely progress with calmly leaving the car, while D showed some great listening and balance work.

And S has made huge strides around livestock, now able to disengage and stay focused on her games even with moving animals nearby.

Another busy week of helping the dogs become more confident, adaptable and capable. 🐾

Weeks 3 & 4 with Badger

These last two weeks have been less about teaching lots of new behaviours and much more about proofing what he's already learnt, gradually adding distraction, distance and duration.

Natural parkour, scent work, predatory play, recall, novel objects and plenty of opportunities to explore and use their bodies kept everyone thinking and learning.

✨ Special mentions to :

🎖️P, who continues to show how much her confidence and resilience have grown, happily getting involved in new environments and challenges.

🎉 B deserves a mention for his scent work this week, taking on the treasure hunt and finding the hidden prize despite some very strong competition.

🩵 A had a huge breakthrough with both recall and jumping. Her long-distance recalls were fantastic, and she confidently jumped an obstacle on cue for the first time.
And there was another really important milestone with the Chowskis this week: working around moving livestock at close range while staying engaged with their games and able to disengage from the animals. A massive step forward. 🐾

From careful footwork and climbing challenges to hunting, retrieving, swimming, scent work and decompression, another week of helping the dogs become more confident, adaptable and capable.
