To Chase there is nothing more exciting than exploring. He is quite adventurous for a little dog, always on the look out for someone to make a fuss of him or a new smell to sniff.

Louie was a treasure of a dog, it took him time to accept other dogs but once he was comfortable a switch flipped and he was happy to learn and play.

Do this job long enough and you'll encounter some truly special dogs, this goofball is Diego and believe it or not he was my first "challenge dog" as a young handler.

This was the day I discovered his love for hats. Diego whined till he was let pick one and sulked when it fall off.
One of many #TrainingMemories I'd love to go back and experience all over again.

Always helpful Jasper. He never missed a chance to help pack up his activities at the end of the session.

Lil was a special one, she started training earlier than most, and was one of the dogs who inspired my early puppy video course.

So other pups like Lil can learn and get a safe head start at home before their vaccinations.

I have never had a dog more motivated by cuddles than Zahli.
Treats? Maybe.
Toys? If she felt like it.
Cuddles? She'd do anything asked of her.

Words to live by as a trainer.

Without fail the dogs deemed "too hard" by others become favourites to work because I am always, as all good trainers should be, learning right beside my clients.
