As I’ve been ill it’s been hard to train much. But I can say Mabel has been a star. Lower level walks, not as much variety (as the field opposite the house is the easy option when energy is low) but she’s survived and she has two hours of agility tomorrow as a reward for being awesome! We have been working more near other dogs/people just because of local field and she’s doing great. If she’s searching for something everyone disappears!

What's the best purchase you've ever made?

I love this forest. Guys, I have recorded everything for the new Level Zero course today. Hoping to post it shortly. 🙏

I don't think we've done this before which is kind of crazy. Post your puppy photos - or if you rescued your dog you can do the first day you got them. 😍

Man we have had some shocking weather lately. Last night was hideous with horizontal rain coming in through my un-closable bedroom window 🙄We have surrendered to just doing indoor training with her evening meal as it's the only achievable thing at the moment 😂 We've had some nice contact heeling which I am layering pressure over using slip lead, focus shift and a fun recall game using my neices and food. This was a version of Alex' recall games to build excellent recall from distraction but both my neices were in the picture with a food bowl. They would call her and sometimes give her their bowl, sometimes I would call her back and feed her. It was quite fun and nice they were keen to help! Kashi has been doing full dress rehearsals with trailer loading the last few days. The anxiety she shows on the outward journey is bothering me so I am working on that slowly. I am positive it's a separation anxiety thing rather than any kind of trailer fear or physical pain, because she loads like a dream on the way home. Looking forward to some friggin sunshine tomorrow!
