Back to work..... Steiff has been doing absolutely nothing but being a dog since the end of April because of me being away and also I like dogs to have time off from sport from time to time.

We returned back to tracking on dirt, something she has only seen twice before so she needs to gain more experience there and as you can see..... summer weather in Ireland was not kind to her first time back but she worked really well through the ridiculous wind.

Happy 1st Birthday to this little honey Badger!

Sometimes it seems like no time at all, sometimes it's been enduring 😅

She has given me a lot of challenges across the board and also a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Steiff and to all your brothers and sisters 🎂🎊🎉🥳

Sharing this IMPORTANT information again as I'm seeing so much outdated and misinformation regarding heat stress and cooling of dogs.

No ice isn't dangerous and neither is cold water.
Please, if your dog is in heat stress or injury please cool as RAPID as possible! The longer your dog is left overheating the higher chances of death is!

I shall share some other good resources on heat and cooling over the coming days.
Better to be prepared and have the right information than to believe outdated dangerous information.

Reposting our most shared info piece each year!

Get all the detailed information on preventing and treating heat injury in working dogs in our webinar in YouTube. (link in bio).

Recalls.
We really do like to train a lot of technical work and no it does not take away from the dog but rather adds to the precision. I am not a fan of dogs running into handlers on recalls nor presents for the dumbell and it is possible to combine speed and technical precision and still with the dog remaining open
