    Paddling pools ?

    Mine love their pool but if you are on a water meter don't get one of these. Takes forever to fill!

    Practice your clicker timing!

    It actually got a lot easier as I went along. I learnt to stop the gif a fraction sooner than my eye told me to.

    Water Training

    Today was water training for my gundog group. I was looking after a group of people with relatively young and inexperienced dogs. The weather here on Exmoor has changed from being lovely, warm and sunny all week to drizzle and quite a strong breeze. Some wayward dummies kept drifting off quite...

    Training with spaniels

    Caddie has been one of the easiest dogs I have ever trained because retrieving and hunting are the two best things in life as far as she is concerned. The only thing I have ever had to work hard at with her is steadiness, that's the flip side of being so keen to retrieve. So at almost 11years of...

After helping other people with their dogs yesterday I grabbed the chance to have a bit of fun with my own dogs. This is Amy my young Clumber and Caddie my still very young at heart springer. She will...

Over the last few days I have seen some very bizarre posts on Facebook which really have left me scratching my head wondering when dog training had become so complicated.

    Too much exercise

    I came across this article today. From my own observations with my dogs I have to agree. Especially Murffi my very excitable, high energy cocker needs lots and lots of rest days or he would be manic. Can exercise make problem behaviours worse?

    Physio and rehab struggles

    There are several conditions that won’t necessarily show up on an X-Ray but will be visible on a CT or MRI scan. IOHC and OCD are two of those disorders and sadly they are not uncommon in labs. It might give you a better idea what you are dealing with and the best treatment options.
