We want to expand the workshops that we offer at our field in Bayford, near Hertford in Hertfordshire. We would love to do this by inviting guest trainers to host *NEW* activities 🤩

What would you like to try with your dog?
What do you think is missing in the area?
Who would you like us to host?

The field is flat, and is around 2.5 acres. 1.5 acres is fenced to create our training area, then there is a completely unused menage that needs some work to the (grass) ground but could be made usable. There’s the potential to access the woodland next door too. There are also three stables which could possibly be used, plus enough parking for 8 cars on hard standing in the winter and dozens of cars when it’s dry enough to park on the grass! No water or electric but we have previously had portaloos on site. No camping unfortunately.

Drop a comment or ping me a message if you’ve got any ideas 💡

From practising pointing to full goof mode.

As Quill’s predation starts to kick in, we’re working on his control around prey. Living somewhere with so much game definitely keeps us on our toes, but it also gives us plenty of opportunities to practise! 💪

I definitely don’t need any more toads being retrieved though, please 🤢🐸

Randomly changing direction on puppy walks is a really simple way to get your puppy checking in with you and noticing where you’re going.

Also, if you have a gigantic thug puppy, it’s basically a weird game of CHICKEN.

Dutch & Quill’s second walk together 🐾

Dutch needed to teach Quill to swim so it was a good excuse to get them out together (and another chance for them to build their relationship).

For me, I don’t rush into walking a new puppy with my adult dogs. I like to get some foundation training in first, so puppy can actually listen to me when there are distractions. I also find the dogs have very different needs so I prefer spending individual time with them, even if that does mean multiple walks a day 🥴

Teaching a puppy to do nothing is wildly underrated.

Socialisation is often understood as puppies meeting lots of people and dogs. And while learning how to interact appropriately is important, that’s only part of the picture.

We also want puppies to learn how to remain calm and engaged with their owner while the world carries on around them.

People walking past. Dogs nearby. New smells. New environments. Lots of interesting things happening.

They don’t need to be involved in everything!

Sometimes the skill is simply noticing it, processing it, checking in with you and then carrying on.

That’s a massive part of ‘socialisation’ that is so often missed!

The commitment to his new trick is UNMATCHED 😂

The ‘FEED ME NOW’ brat has left the building and we officially have a thinker 🙌

Given the opportunity, Quill will put Dutch’s entire head in his mouth!!

I have two choices here: leave them to it, or intervene.

And whilst in some situations letting dogs work things out can be perfectly safe, there’s only 1kg difference between them now and Dutch is… socially awkward.

We’ve noticed she gets stuck in a bit of a pattern:

freeze → snarl → snap → zoomies.

And this is where the “zoomies = play” assumption can get us into trouble.

In this situation, the zoomies aren’t play. They’re a stress outlet. Dutch is trying to deal with some BIG feelings, and quite frankly, it’s not very nice for her.

It’s not great for Quill either.

Because if he repeatedly ignores Dutch’s very clear “back off” signals, and eventually she runs off into zoomies, he can learn that ignoring another dog’s communication eventually results in something he finds incredibly fun.

I absolutely do NOT want him learning that.

So we intervene. We teach an interrupter.

And one of my biggest tips for teaching an interrupter is this:

TEACH IT AWAY FROM THE MOMENT.

Don’t wait until your puppy is already 100% invested in doing the thing you want to stop and then expect your interrupter to magically work.

Teach it when nothing exciting is happening. Make it ridiculously easy. Build value in it. Practise it until it’s automatic.

Then you can start using it when you actually need it.

Because with Quill, I don’t want to be constantly telling him off for being a puppy. I want to teach him what to do instead ❤️
