There's no bad weather. Only inadequate kit. Torrential tonight. Left the house without a second thought. This system doesn't fail. Nonstop Fjord 2.0 dog coat Genuine 3L construction. Rivals mountain hardshells I've paid twice the price for. Sig moves freely and stays dry. Pinewood Dogsports 2.0 Jacket Massively underrated. Rear pocket fits a wedge, a 10m longline and more toys than I'd care to admit. Outperforms brands charging three times the price. Keela Waterproof Trousers Spend time around mountain rescue and you already know Keela. I'd take these over Arcteryx. Every time! Altberg Field and Fell Boots Worked through a lot of boots. Altberg is where I stopped looking. Sealskinz Peaked Cap Five years old. Still going. Rain or sun, peaked cap is always the right choice! Snakeshead exists to find kit that won't let handlers down. I'll tell you what works. I don't care if I stock it. #pinewoodoutdoors #nonstopdogwear #sealskinz #keela #altberg

Two weeks ago we became three. Last night Alfred met the crew. He's got about 18 years before he's operational. Plenty of time to nail dutch rolls, ladders and BAECO. Standards don't start when you're old enough to understand them. They start when you're old enough to watch! Acta Non Verba.

The question is... do we trust the indication enough to push it further and blindfold for the throw?! No keys, no way home! Tired dog after 1000m of tracking always makes it a risk! 😬😅

Sunday afternoon chill waiting for baby to drop with Sig, 100% on in the field, 95% off in the house, always the goal. With the Mals it often needs training deliberately! In my mind, its no good having a spicy dog for extra home security, if its in a kennel when its needed! I also havent the patience for spending my home time with a always on nutcase! 😅

Dog and Bone Lucky enough to catch x3 of the Rockwell B1 "Bones" returning to RAF Fairford on our evening dog walk yesterday. How many times do you get to proof your stay command under a supersonic bomber capable of carrying 34tn! Flew right over us and those turbofan engines really make the ground shake! My background is in the Defence industry, and as an Engineer, high performance design, quality control and a zero fail mentality is exactly why I set up Snakeshead K9! Some missions are too important to rely on kit thats "Good Enough"!

Another sunny evening out with Sig tonight and letting her blow off some steam with a few bark and holds. All I'm aiming for today is her finding a nice square position, good eye contact not distracted by the toy, and a clean rythmic bark. Loads of ways to get to Rome on this one and all have their pros and cons! Given the same dog and a do over, I would love to have tried building this up with a much higher defence drive component rather than pure prey drive. Deeper bark, more intensity and pressure on the decoy and some seriously bad intent are all things hard to acheive while it feels like a game!

Started rebuilding the retrieve after years of neglecting this exercise! Sig was always super chompy on the dumbell (one judge asked me if I was planning to take it off her before she finished eating it!) and it really irritated me each time I went to fix it! Finally stripped the emotion out from my side and got back to basics! Still gotta keep that ass on the floor for the throw and still got to get that 1 cheeky bite out as she comes into the front position, but a world better than where it was!
