A huge win this year has been working with @cotswoldk9_ to get Sigs social stability nailed. Genetically shes from pretty civil lines with a very low social tolerance, impulsive and tonnes of drive. When she does dexide to act, its with full commitment!

Ace on the sports field but a headache that needs careful management off it!

I`d always been a bit careful of flooding as when things goes wrong with Mals it tends to be intense. Lottie has been ace guiding us through a process she knows very well and the week on week improvements have been jumps of 40-50% improvement. Not little incrimental wins and a management plan!

Lesson learnt, give the dog a bit more credit for its ability to work through pressure and adapt! ...

Still a few little flinches at the gunshot but a world of difference since she used to shut down and disengage. Training with it in my off-hand so hopefully by the time its the next trial, a gunshot 50m away shouldnt be an issue 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ...

Every day is another chance to work on environmentals. Even at 6 years old Sig can always benefit from more novel experiences and pushing her a just little further daily! ...
