💫 A S T R O 💫

He's a 6 yr old Smithfield Collie x Beardie who is an absolute dream, except when his mum is trying to walk him with his new baby human sibling...

The environment is just too exciting and he is a big, strong, puller! So we are working on:

⭐️ Engagement
⭐️ Impulse control
⭐️ Heel & obedience
⭐️ Loose lease walking
⭐️ Enrichment (always 😉)

🩷 H O L L Y 🩷

She is a 3 month old Pomeranian x Schipperke, and she is full of beans, fluff, and cuteness!

We started working on:
☆ Recall - for safety & freedom
☆ Handling - for cooperative care
☆ Enrichment - for stimulation
☆ Impulse control - for manners
☆ Confidence building - for resilience

We want to give her the best start in life, by teaching solid foundation behaviours, and also making the new addition for her 14 yo pom sister as easy as possible 🥰

🐾 Paws Up 🐾 is a training trick and fitness exercise where a dog places its front paws on a raised object to build confidence, engagement, and rear-end strength. It is often used as a foundational skill for canine conditioning or as a fun, impressive trick 😉👌

Featuring some of my favs: Wally & Alfie ✨️

🤍 M O L L I E 🤍

This is my first session with her, she is a Border Collie (if you hadn't guessed) and is 7 months old here.

We started working on building value, engagement, some handling, and confidence building - all of which require patience on my part, and trust on hers...

Such a sweet & clever girl! 🧠

💜 B A I L E Y 💜

Is an 8 month old miniature Schnauzer who is very sweet & clever, but also just a little apprehensive about the world, so she needs some guidance through her adolescent phase 🌟

We are working on:
🟪 Enrichment — she thrives on mental stimulation!
🟪 Loose leash walking
🟪 Building resilience & confidence
🟪 Desensitization around other dogs
🟪 Counter conditioning around children

Swipe to see Bailey showing us her preferences in her treat heirarchy!
Have you figured out yours dogs treat heirarchy yet? We all hold different levels of value for different rewards, and it's handy to know which are high, medium, and low value for your pets 👌

🔸️ Loose leash walking
🔸️ Cooperative care/handling

💥 Impulse control
💥 Loose leash walking
