On a field trip with our friend Len. Despite his fluffy appearance he had a history of anxiety with strangers and isn’t too friendly with unknowns because of it. He did great and seemed more bored of our outing than concerned (a good thing!) - I mean why keep walking down a path without getting anywhere fun?! He didn’t see the point at all. But, non events around strangers is a good thing (and nobody is ever permitted to pet/touch him - that would be WAY too much for him!). ... * * * * * * * * #trainingdogs #concepttraining #dogs #butchartgardens #kidsanddogs #collies #vanisland See more

Shadow has it all: brains, personality and great hair! However, his humans were experiencing challenges with some of the inevitable adolescent naughtiness. The answer is using games that teach Shadow to behave in the way his humans want him to without bribery or making him. (And Shadow doesn’t even know he is being trained. Maybe he isn’t the only clever one ).... #dogtraining #standardpoodles #doglife #concepttraining #motivatingdogs #poodle #poodlesofinstagram #standardpoodlesofinstagram See more

Found this photo of our boy Serge. He came to me at 7 months nothing but skin and bone and he grew into such a lovely boy. We had him for 7 years before losing him to DM (a few years ago now). We were so lucky to have him! ... #gsd #resuedog #heartdogs #lifewithdogs #dogs #dogsofinstagram #doglife See more
