It was Floki’s last walk with the Thursday club as he is moving away. Everyone will miss the handsome gentle giant. He’s been a great member of the club getting on with everyone he meets, you can’t help but love him. 🤗🐶

The Thursday club had a great time together, joined by Springer Addison and we met another couple of little friends 😊🐾

It was a challenge to keep the pups cool today, especially as they love to play. The owners did really well with getting their attention to teach stay and settling on a mat (cool mat or wet towel!). Most went for a refreshing dip in the lake after 💦🐶

To make sure the dogs didn’t get too hot today we did some “stay” exercises. The owners then taught them to settle on a (cool) mat ❄️☀️

The Thursday club were all in very good spirits, enjoying romps through the fields and cooling off in the lakes at Hinchingbrooke Country Park 🐾☀️💦

The pups had a great time playing, well certainly Bentley and Khadi did, Charlie watched avidly and joined in when he felt brave enough 🐶. The owners then practised recall before letting them back for another play. They then did a great job of teaching their pups a hand touch (or bump!)😊. We only had the three today as Baloo is at the beach no doubt having a great time and Millie’s mum was running a charity race, we also hope to have Tarquin and his mum back next week.

Great work today by everyone, owners and dogs alike. Recalling from distractions with great rewards seemed like great fun for all the dogs. The only shame was that the wooden shelter had been vandalised (sadly happening too often) but thanks to the Rangers at Hinchingbrooke Country Park, it was made useable.

Beautiful pictures from last week’s class taken by Millie’s dad (the Bulldog pup). Thank you Nathan, much better than my candid snaps! 😄

Some lovely work done by the puppies and their owners with the challenge of loose lead walking. They were rewarded with a fun game that helps build focus. We missed Tarquin’s sparky presence and look forward to having him back next Sunday 😃

After a little game to help focus their attention, the dogs showed great patience with impulse control exercises. We missed the lovely Enzo this week and look forward to seeing him and his mum next Sunday 🤗🐾
