Well done Barn Hunters, everyone did so well today, training on an Open course. More challenging tunnel, lots of hiding places, loads to search. Excellent team work.

Another bit of gold dust from The Forever Dog team. We know this at Dog Confidence, keeping your older dog active will keep them healthier for longer. Have a look at our booking page above if you’re looking for something new to try with your dog. Or WhatsApp me on 07583 361826 if you’d like more info. Vickie x

A new peer-reviewed study published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science followed 858 senior dogs and found that dogs who regularly played, trained, hiked, swam, or participated in other activities with their owners showed fewer signs of age-related cognitive decline. The benefits appeared to go beyond exercise alone, with activities that challenged the brain and strengthened the dog-owner bond linked to healthier brain aging. Dogs that participated at least weekly tended to stay mentally sharper, while lifelong sports dogs had the lowest cognitive decline scores.
That’s important because doggy dementia is one of the most common quality-of-life issues affecting senior dogs. The takeaway? Regular play, training, enrichment, and shared adventures may help keep your dog’s mind younger for longer.

Supporting healthy aging also means protecting the joints that keep dogs active. That’s why Dr. Karen Becker formulated Mobility Matrix™ with science-backed ingredients like UC-II® undenatured type II collagen and eggshell membrane to support mobility and comfort.

For the George fans, here’s a bit more fun from Vays session on Sunday. Vay is back on Sun 14th June if you’d like to come along. Lots of fun, learning to do fun stuff together is the best way to bond with your dog. They will learn to listen and trust you more if you work as a team. George is a ‘clever sausage’ (Vay 2026 🤣) but he’s been far from easy. We’ve come a long way. Thank goodness. ❤️🐾❤️
