Hey peeps! After suggesting on another thread that we all help one another out with some motivational training over winter, Nick has suggested I make a separate thread here so, here it goes! A few of us, including me, have been or are struggling to stay motivated to train regularly right now. It's eternally wet, dark, cold, icy, flooded, windy, you have a head cold, you have a busy work life - the list is endless. I have an idea for a "Winter Wins" series but it would be great to hear from you all first how you stay motivated when the days last just 5 minutes and getting out of bed early to train is too painful for words. What are your strategies? Are there particular things (games, tricks) you are training at the moment to motivate yourself? Are there any hardcore "I train in the rain" folks here? I'll share my idea if you share yours!! X

We had a really good class this week, just basic training, and at least this time it wasn’t Maggi doing all the barking 😆 I think the best thing about this class was when Nick used Maggi for a chin rest and made time for us to come close, at heart Maggi is a big softie who does want to play she needs more encouragement, I think it was good for others to see😆

I just had to share that my book on muzzled dogs is now available for pre order 🥳 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1910488747

Just sharing a win for us today. Freddie used to bark/lunge & chase most things that moved. I used to have to put him indoors with the radio on whilst I cut the grass ‘ he’d bark throughout - gradually we have worked through this & today no barking 🥳🥳🥳🥳
