Fun, Fast and Reliable Recalls.

A good solid recall is one of the fundamental behaviours that your dog should learn. The recall is an invaluable tool for keeping your dog and others safe. How to train recalls is one of the most common topics that I get asked for advise about when dog owners contact me.

In response to all the requests that I get on this subject I will be holding a special two hour long Live class at the end of April to teach how I achieve Reliable recalls. The class will be held at Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.

Six Fab Tricks for February

Last Sunday we held our Six Fab Tricks for February class at Logie Durno Hall near to Inverurie. As with our previous Special tricks classes, we demonstrated the required steps to build towards the final tricks and then individually helped each of the students to work through the steps with their dog.

I really enjoy these trick classes as its possible to see dogs and their owners quickly develop their trick skills in a short period of time in a fun and amusing way.

Everyone was able to leave the course having learnt some new tricks, but just as importantly some new training skills to allow them to develop and progress new tricks of their own.

Puppy and Junior School Graduates

Puppy Exercise Guidelines

As puppies grow and develop, we want to ensure that we stimulate their minds and bodies at the appropriate times, and in the appropriate amounts, to ensure optimal development and adult performance. We also want to minimise the risk of injury and the development of degenerative orthopaedic conditions in the growing or adult dog.

Being both a dog trainer and a canine physiotherapist I always keep an eye of how puppies and young dogs move so I can highlight and correct potential weaknesses at an early age. I also balance my training programs to minimise the risk of injury of the puppy and optimise their physical development.

Thank you onlinepethealth for this great poster, I am so glad to be part of the vetrehabber community!
