Tonight in our GOOD CITIZEN TRAINING session we will be looking at emergency stops, lead walking and IMPULSE CONTROL!!! I’ll try to take video because I suspect we’ll have quite a laugh 😆

Ringcraft Rebels Training this Thursday: JUST ONE SPACE LEFT

As always, just 8 places in the class and so far I've had confirmation from:

Lisa and Horace
Joanna and Monty
Ian and Fagin
Ruth and Fred
Jayne and Jasper
Karen and Iona
Clare and Thomas

If anybody else has said they were coming and paying on the day, please do comment below as I confess I get confused with who has said they're coming and I'd hate to let the places go elsewhere and people miss out - Kerry I THINK you were coming also?

Please let me know so I can plan the class accordingly. Here's the link you need to book your place:

Welcome to our Ringcraft Rebels training session …. we are inviting all sizes along. This session will take place INSIDE in the DOG BARN so that we can focus on movement and handling with plenty of room without the worry of rain, wind or dark nights creeping in.

So take the picture.

Congratulate the person beside you.

Stay a few minutes longer after judging.

Scratch your dog behind the ears before you walk into that ring.

And every once in a while, forget about the points, the rankings, and who beat whom.

Look down at the dog standing beside you.

That was always the best part anyway. ❤️🐾

Tonight at Good Citizen class we'll be revisiting loose lead walking, recall, manners at a gate/door and starting a new skill of chin targeting to give consent to be examined. This skill is great for show dogs and pet dogs alike as it gives your dog confidence at the vet or in the show ring and stops wriggling and fear reactivity when they need to be checked over. In the bronze award YOU are the one doing the examining but in the silver it will be another person. Start with an easy chin target and move on to achieve co-operative care skills that give your dog the autonomy to say when they are too stressed to be touched.

For those coming to class tonight, you will need:

Fairly long lead
Treats
Toy
Fabric or saucer sized marker such as a container lid for targeting

See you tonight :)

Little clip from Rebels’ training this evening. Thank you Clare for taking it while waiting for Thomas’s spin round the ring. You all did so well and by the end it was so polished 👌

FANTASTIC evening’s training for our Ringcraft Rebels tonight looking at movement. A wonderful group of 8 big dogs who proved just how focused they could be and finished the session with the most controlled group run round - bravo everybody 🤩

Next adult class will be on Thursday 10/9 where we will look at stacking/standing without fidgeting or kissing the judge during the hands-on examination … God help me! Lol 😂

Let’s see your beautiful dogs in all their Pixar-Style glory. I’ll go first … here’s Dice and Coda

RINGCRAFT REBELS TRAINING

Please note that as of THIS THURSDAY all our training will take place back in the barn. This is to facilitate the change in season as we sadly start back towards the darker, colder months (nobody wants to train in a pitch black filed do they!!).

If you would like to book on to this Thursday's training at the Hunsdale Farm Dog Barn, Ellerker, just off the A63 in East Yorkshire, just click the link. Places are limited to ensure everybody gets enough personal attention so please DO comment and let me know if you are intending to come.
