Beautiful Phoenix enjoying the woods at the weekend 😊

Feenie's walks at the moment are focused around confidence out and about and in her body (she has plenty of this 🥷), proprioception, recall (we use a long line and play hide and seek) and being indifferent to other people and dogs. She's also practicing her marker word and release que.

Smashing it as always, Feenie 🌟🐾

Training with Feenie 🌟

I was planning on some recall training in the garden, however, always train the dog in front of you, and the dog in front of me was whining because Apollo had gone for his walk... so a perfect opportunity to train calmness and settle 😊

Feenie caught on pretty quickly that settle = reward (salmon pate and an ear rub), and that shouting = nothing happens. Then we moved onto moving through the dog gate, where again, calmness = reward and we can move, jumping and squealing = nothing happens.

I make sure I set her up for success so she gets it right and loves training; great job, Feenie ❤️

Our beautiful girl Phoenix ❤️ She's settled in to our family like she's always been here, and our other dogs are being amazing too 😊

We're going to be posting about puppy training and how we do it (hopefully we'll remember!) First up a question... what do *you* prioritise with your future canisports dogs? What's important to you?

I'll go first; Phoenix is currently learning (and these will be on going):
Name = look at me
Yes = reward
Okay = release
Crate door opening = sit or wait
Any door opening = sit or wait
Checking in with us = reward
Crate = sleep/chew/chill
Lead on harness = pull (not actively encouraging pulling at this age, but not stopping her either)
Lead on collar = don't pull

It'd be great to have a discussion about what you like to and don't like to train your sled dogs to do, so please comment 😊

Apollo has been introduced to the bike! As he's only 11 months old he isn't ready for proper harness training yet, but he can absolutely get the skills down. His line-out is amazing and he DRIVES into the harness - over 40kph in his first ever go 💪🏻. Can't wait to work this boy, it'll be so much fun, but first he's enjoying his puppy months by running off lead with some very short (up to 30 seconds) bursts of harness work 🙂.

Introducing Fast Candy Phoenix 🔥 (Top Dogz Oreo × Falco). As her siblings start to go home, we couldn't wait to introduce our newest family member, even though we have to wait until she's old enough to travel 🇨🇿 (yes, we wanted 2 trips to Czechia this season 🤣).

When we saw this breeding announced, and the commitment of to breeding healthy, well-rounded dogs we got in contact straight away. To be trusted with one of this litter feels amazing, and we can't believe she's ours ❤️.

Thank you Marketa for giving her such an amazing puppy hood so far, and for continuing to look after her until she can come home.

We can't wait to meet you Phoenix and to start our adventures together 🍀
