REIGN 🐺⚡️

Putting in some serious work today, focusing on defence and covert scenarios. Reign stepped up to everything asked of her and absolutely smashed it. 💯

Confidence, composure, intensity and a serious willingness to work. This girl continues to impress me every time we step onto the training field.

No shortcuts, no excuses. Just consistent work and progression. 🔥

Built through training. Proven through pressure. 🐺💪

Great work @dmd_k9 you deffo a great sparing partner appreciate the dedication to my dogs 💪🏼

Your puppy is learning from the day they’re born. So why wait until they’re older to start guiding that learning?

From the moment they arrive home, we can begin shaping behaviours, building good habits and developing the relationship we want to see as they mature.

It’s not about rushing the process or putting pressure on your puppy. It’s about giving them time to adjust while thoughtfully building structure, boundaries, engagement and the foundations for everyday life.

They’re learning anyway. Make sure you’re guiding that learning towards the behaviours you want to see.

Havoc | Nov 24 – Sept 26 🪽🌈

This was one of the last training sessions I recorded with Havoc, before his initial limp started and the rollercoaster of neurological issues that ultimately left me with no choice but to lay him to rest.

If you’ve followed Havoc’s journey from the beginning, you’ll know how much this meant for him to achieve.

The control, being able to switch and, even more importantly, just being able to play with me. He looks strong, healthy and, most importantly, happy.

Unfortunately, I’ll never know the full extent of the damage caused before I took Havoc in at 10 months old, or just how much it would eventually affect him.

It was devastating for me to watch this strong dog become a shell of himself and struggle so much.

I tried to save him. I really did. But in the end, I couldn’t save him from himself.

This is how I want to remember him.

Rest easy now, sweet boy ❤️💔

REIGN 🦍🔥

Smashing her entries and long sends 💨🎯 Getting her back into serious shape ready for the Halloween Trial 🎃

Considering the massive gap she’s had and the time she’s spent out, I couldn’t be happier with how she’s come back. She’s taking everything in front of her, her conditioning is improving every session, her breathing is getting stronger and that engine is starting to come back nicely. 💪🏽

Still plenty of work to do, but she’s showing exactly what she’s made of. Reps, consistency and conditioning from here on out. No shortcuts — just putting the work in. 🧪⚡️

Halloween, we’re coming. 🎃🦍

REIGN — BACK IN THE LAB. 🧪🐺

Back-to-back sessions, no messing about now. Today was equipment shedding, long sends and conditioning — putting the work in to build that engine back up after so much time out.

The conditioning was against her today, but she dug deep, kept working and got the job done. That’s exactly what these sessions are for. Get the lungs working, build the stamina, sharpen everything back up and get her body ready for what’s coming.

No shortcuts. No rushing the process. Reps, conditioning, consistency. Reign’s getting right again, one session at a time. 📈🔥

REIGN 👑

Reps. Reps. Reps. Consistency over everything. No more fucking about — back in the field, putting in real-life work and sharpening everything up.

Reign’s not here to play. Solid foundations are there, now it’s about repetition, exposure and keeping the standard high every single session. No shortcuts, no rushing — just proper work, week in, week out. 📈

Big shoutout to @dmd_k9 doing some great work with Reign and everything’s moving in the right direction. Really enjoying working with him and looking forward to seeing where we can take her.

Head down. Work rate up. Reign season. 👑🧬

👑 REIGN — BACK IN THE LAB 🧪

Back on the field. Back to school. Back to work. 🎯

It’s time to lock in and put the hours where they matter. From here on out, my focus is Reign and my two pups — three dogs I’m putting everything into. Time, consistency, dedication and work. No shortcuts.

Reign’s mechanics have always been different. The way she moves, the durability, the power, the confidence and how solid she is environmentally — she’s got all the foundations I want. Now it’s about tweaking the little things, sharpening her up and staying CONSISTENT with the training.

She’s already shown me what she’s capable of… now it’s about bringing the best version of her out. 🧬

A lot more Reign coming. A lot more work. A lot more progress.

Back in the lab. 🧪👑

From having very little control to this…and that’s despite a recent bump in the road with his health.

Havoc has come a long way.

He’s showing me a level of control and understanding that simply wasn’t there when he started with me. He’s also still incredibly keen to learn, which makes it even more important that I manage what I ask of him rather than letting his enthusiasm dictate the pace.

He’s moving much better and isn’t limping, but he’s still not 100%. He’s on a lot of medication at the moment and it could be masking how he’s actually feeling, so I’m not taking any chances.

He tires quickly, so for now I’m keeping things steady and making the most of the training he can comfortably handle.

There’s no rush. His progress isn’t going anywhere.
