We talk about the importance of toy play in classes. A little reminder as to why, a nice little poster which highlights why toy play is fab 🐾

Oh my gosh - week 5 with these guys! 🙈 I can’t believe how quick it’s gone!!
Today we looked at aiming to get positions on a voice cue, stay/wait, recalls through distractions, handling away from owners and loose leads walking with weaving.
These two are just awesome- fab pair of pups! 🥰🥰

New stepping stone course - yeovil, Sunday evenings! Book your limited spot - only four available.

When we talk about desensitisation in week 6 of puppy classes - this is what we want our pups to be able to do. 🥰

Come and join our new group - this is a group teamed up with The Doghouse - Fit Train Fun and Big Dog Little Dog: Puppy and Dog training to bring you new training courses and workshops.

Wow what an awesome morning! Graduation for the first group, and week 4 for the second! Well done to Billy, Teddy, Betsy, Alfie, Harry and Nacho! All pups did amazing!
Then group 2 with Lola and Bailey, building confidence on the weighing scale, loosing lead walking and recall!
Well done puppies! 🐾 🏵🥇

Those who would like to do more with their dogs but at a time which may suit then my AM class at kingsdon.

Wow what a busy busy day here at PSG&S! The first group - week 5!!! 😱 we practiced “stays”, being handled by “strangers” coming when called from distractions & puppy play, weighing scales/platforms, and loose leading walking with directions! These puppies are just AWESOME!!! I cang believe it’s their last week next week!
Second group - week 3 - we started loose lead positioning and movement, recalls, positions and settles! These two are flipping fab! I love my job!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Congratulations to the East Chinnock puppies( Megan, Dilys, Elsie, Rosie and Rosie the bulldog (who couldn’t make last night). Such a fab group of spaniels 😅 and owners! All have worked very hard and have come along way since week one!
Spaces on our next course - East Chinnock starting 31st May or Somerton starting 16th June. Message for more details.

Didn’t manage to grab pictures of this mornings class, who are week 4! But week two with my second class and we looked at toy play, handling, recall and positions! A fab pair of puppers!

Not many pictures but week 5 at East Chinnock last night - temptation alley proved hard for some. The temptations were tempting and as they’re starting to hit teenagers it’s amazing how those hormones make a big difference! So we helped this pups who were struggling by coming in closer and making it successful. 🏅
We also added weaving into our loose lead walking. Last week next week ☹️ I’ll miss this group.

Plenty of learning happened over the last three days! Looking forward to adding elements from this course to follow on courses.

Week 3 for our first group of the day - we looked at loose lead walking, handling, building on our settle, recalling from a picnic and building on our positions.
Week 1 welcomed Bailey and Lola, who I think will become firm friends! These two and their family’s did a great job! Looking forward to next week.
