Bushka learning to "leave it"

Rehearsing the room (or paddock) Bushka’s leave it cue is coming along nicely. She enjoyed her hard earned swim to cool off.

Digger Nails Loose Lead Walking

Digger nailing his loose lead walking today, frequent check-ins when he was released to go and sniff and his ability to disengage from other dogs is increasing! Great work team!

Does your dog know what you want? Teaching your dog how to walk on a loose lead, check in with you, disengage from the ducks and relax while taking in their environment makes for a happy dog and happy owner (or trainer). Great work Bushka!

Practicing calmness and focus on walks

Handsome boys Fenton and Bosley are a super excited and sniffy on walks, so they are going to be working on calmness and handler focus. Looking forward to seeing their progress in a few weeks.

Bronson

Gorgeous Rottweiler pup Bronson gets pretty excited when he is playing with his family out in the yard. Sometimes he doesn’t make the best choices when expressing his excitement…

Puppy Power

We spent our session working on calmness, focus, engagement and disengagement - these skills make for a dog who listens to you and has a solid recall.

Lovely lulu

LuLu the stock guardian is learning to be more gentle with the smaller members of her family as sometimes she doesn’t realise how big she is and it can get a bit much. She also learnt to bring toys back instead of playing keepings off.

Billi learns to walk nicely on a lead

It was great working with Billi a 5yo GSP and her lovely family. Billi has never really needed to walk on a lead , but life changes and now she needs to learn. That’s ok, because you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Gorgeous Gypsy

I had a great session working with gorgeous little Gypsy the chocolate labrador and her dedicated people on Sunday. Gypsy is learning how to walk nicely on leash, come when called (hide and seek is particularly fun!) and show some self control around food
