What in the heck is this?

An introduction, so that one exists, to us 👋🏼

The YouTube channel and accompanying blog will mostly be home to ad-hoc training sessions that reach eventual goals, or not, as the case may be, but it'll also be home to specific skills, focused work and end-to-end how-tos.

Slightly chaotic, as we do so many different things with our dogs, but also fun and with direction, because everyone has things to work on, including me 🙌

As a summary:

  • 🐾 Alfie ▪️ Agility & Canicross (retired) as well as tricks and obedience at a distance

  • 🐾 Bryt: Gundogging & Canicross, as well as obedience at a distance

  • 🐾 Ren ▪️ Canicross of half or full marathons, as well as fun obedience

  • 🐾 Lemon ▪️ Scentwork (tbc!) as well as obedience at a distance

  • 🐾 Zest: Rolling in the sun, as well as snuggles and cuddles

  • 🐾 Whin: Gundogging, Agility for Dan (?!) as well as tricks and obedience at a distance

(▪️= Physically compromised at least some of the time)

Every day I train at least one dog, usually more.

Most of those sessions are recorded in full, end-to-end, so that I can improve my timing and achieve better clarity. Some of those videos will be shared here.
