  • It’s the first EVER Puppy University in Barnes!

I have been so excited to teach this new course from @puppyschooluk 

And what a great group to kick things off! Some familiar faces from 1:1s and Puppy School, plus some new recruits 🐶

🐾Pip the Springer Spaniel
🐾Miso the Cardigan Corgie
🐾Athena the Frenchie
🐾Pongo the Dalmatian
🐾Nya the German Shepherd

This course is all about learning life skills that are practical for everyday encounters.

You can see the pups learning how to walk calmly on lead through a triangle pattern game, plus exploring novel objects as a foundation for a retrieve! 

Puppy University is for pups 20+ weeks and ideal for those who have already done a little bit of training.

Next course starts December 3rd!

  • Got the puppy blues? You’re not alone! ❤️

Puppies can be Hard. Work. Give yourself some grace and remember that you’ve got a baby animal who doesn’t know much about the world yet!

My top 3 things to prioritise are:

🐾 Building a relationship 🐾
Relationships are built on trust. Let your puppy know that they can trust you by giving them a predictable routine, supporting them when they feel overwhelmed or uncertain, and teaching them that good things happen when you’re around.

🐾Understanding dog body language 🐾
Wish your dog could talk? Well learning how to read body language is about as close as we can get to an Up-style talking collar! @doggielanguagebook is the perfect place to start.
The better you understand what your dog is saying the easier it is to fulfil their needs and grow their confidence.

🐾Teaching calm & settle 🐾
This is a skill that needs to be learned! Puppies have serious FOMO, but also need serious sleep time. This is not a good combo! Start with the routine, introducing calm activities, set up a safe, quiet space and teach settling as a training exercise just like your recall or lead walking!

  • A little #ThrowbackThursday to being on the BBC with Freya!

We were asked to join the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures to show how dogs learn through positive reinforcement 🧠

The whole lecture on AI is on @bbciplayer and it’s a very interesting watch!

So proud of Freya on her first TV outing, it was a lot for a young, bouncy dog and she did so well! ❤️
