Episode 7:
A fun day of training for Wish
Posted by Elizabeth Murphy
Welcome back to Wish’s Puppy Pen!
In this episode, we are going to show you a snippet of what Wish got up to when she visited our southern training centre.
First up, Wish practised walking nicely on her lead with Izi, her Dog Training Instructor.

Wish is rewarded with lots of verbal praise for keeping her attention on Izi. Through this style of positive reinforcement, Wish is learning to keep her focus and not get side-tracked by distractions around her.
Next up, it’s time for some agility training! Wish had a brilliant time jumping over the hurdles in one of our training fields.
Agility training is an excellent way to provide Wish with both physical and mental enrichment, giving her plenty of exercise, whilst having fun at the same time. It also helps Wish to build her coordination skills and confidence around obstacles she may encounter when she is out and about.
Like many dogs, Wish loves zoomies. Running allows her to release pent-up energy and express her happiness and excitement. We simply had to capture her joy on camera!
And here she is again, but in slow motion!
