I want to hear all about your wins this week!

Ok, so this is new, and well out of my comfort zone. But I thought why not. My name is Kathryn (or Kat), and for the past 6 months my house has been home to a lovely dog named Jess. She had a rough 3 or 4 years, but I'm determined to make up for them. I have just completed the course thingo and it mentioned to write on the community page. Jess started at Walkys academy 2 days ago and I can already see a difference in her walking, I know that is more to do with her new lead than because of me. There's loads of things I have no idea how to do, but in time I'll work on, and help Jess with them too. I think that's enough for an introduction, no one will want to read all the bad n boring bits.

Little Archie working through some sniffari games. Using some cones and every time Archie looks at them he gets a treat, then we encourage him to put his nose in them and treat release. After a few reps he was all over the game! What a little champ! @Maria Sirianni

If your dog drags you down the street, be there. I'm doing a full walk-through with Polly. Not a talk, an actual demo. Camera's going up in the carpark and you'll see the whole thing, including the reps she gets wrong. What we're covering: - The three real reasons your dog pulls (none of them are that she's stubborn) - Follow Me: the engagement work that has to happen before the lead does anything - What to do the second the lead goes tight, and why stopping dead is the wrong answer - Stop and sit at kerbs using pressure and release - Your homework for the week - 30 minutes. Bring your questions, I'll stay on at the end to answer them. See you at 1.
