Since I posted about this new project dog I saved from the pound a lot of people have asked what his story is. I made a quick video to explain. 👇

Today the new dude had some fun playing with @Alex Lato He’s a pretty intense tugger which has got him in trouble previously so it’s nice to have a productive opportunity to play.

Today I rescued this dog from the pound. He has some behaviour issues that meant he was two hours from being put to sleep. I’ll be training him and sharing updates here and then eventually rehoming him. He needs a new name though. Hit me with your suggestions.

I feel like I've been slack with posting even when I'm still checking in on here daily. Reno nearly complete, builders are gone and house is looking more house like. I've still be training just not posting 😬 It's alot of the same plugging some simple things but I feel like it's helping with them listening better. - I'm still pulling the whistle out - I've been doing a lot of on lead work which I'm seeing improvements with Igor - Igor did his first camp out in my daughter's van. They have been converting a van to upgrade from the roof tent so they tested it out at the weekend. He smashed camping life, pulled up a chair and watched the world go by. Me and Phoenix met up with a fellow dobe who's moved to the area. Only young 10 months but he is enormous. I'm pleased I went with my better judgement and just went for a walk with them. He is a lovely boy but my word he is a handful. Puppy energy in a dog his size is alot. He made phoenix look small. He also made me realise how well behaved phoenix is compared to puppy stage. She said Hi nicely then just went about her walk. She actually did me proud with how well she was listening. I've still been training on Wednesdays doing a mix of some hoppers, scent work and general listening skills with Igor. I'm seeing some good improvements with him lately and I'm enjoying the change.

Let’s start a training chain. How it works is that we take turns sharing an exercise or training challenge with the group. Everyone can give it a go at home and share their videos or daily training posts. We then tag the next person to share the next exercise. You can either film it, type it up or share any way you feel comfortable. Just have it ready to post by Sunday 😊
