It's a doggy life for me!

The Just good dog's assistant 

It started just over 6 months ago, my thoughts were of doing more for my faithful mutt, Obi. I had survived a very dark period in my life, ill health, divorce, moving home. I felt apprehensive going it alone, one important thing was to make friends and have a social life again, not only for myself, but for Obi too.

For several weeks, I searched the internet looking for like minded people who loved their dogs just as crazily as I love mine. I found a few dog groups on the social networking site, Meetup. One of the groups I found was called "All shapes and sizes" a group of dog lovers who meet at Preston Park once a month. 

Obi and Mavis, who is also a boy.


since joining this group myself and Obi's life has took a very positive turn. The members of the group were extremely friendly and they welcomed us both with open arms, in the dogs case, open paws. we felt like we were part of a family and I was often counting down the days to the next meet up.

I was able at last to meet Pete and Casey for the first time. We hit it off immediately. Obi loved running around enjoying the freedom of the park playing with his new buddies.

Little did I know, I was being watched!

By August I got a call from Pete asking me if I would help him out with his business. Just good dogs, as an assistant!
I am so grateful to Pete for this opportunity to educate myself and further my skills.

I joined after the first week of a bronze class, or as Pete says just getting them to sit and take notice its a lot harder than you think, but his clean, caring and gentle approach really does work wonders even with the most stubborn of dogs.
Even when setting up, issues and questions come thick and fast.

One of the first dogs I met was Lennie a puppy who not only was taking the bronze class, but was also having private one on one lessons with Pete. In the space of a few weeks he was turning in to a delightful, playful and loving a doggy that felt part of a pack.



We make a good partnership, his understanding of dogs and their ways really shows in his body language and aura. It is clear when you watch him that he loves what he does. Pete is committed to working with these dogs and getting them to their very best for their owners.
The system of Reward based learning is the way to go.

One to one attention even in a group.

walking the line Just good dogs.

One thing I have learned already from Pete is it not enough to own a dog, but to be a huge part of its life, keeping it both safe around traffic, meeting friends in public with out being jumped up on, its our responsibility to teach them in a manor that would be fitting to an animal that is a pack mind.
Group dynamics and living like a pack.

Just good dogs, love one another regardless of race, creed or gender.
It's important particularity in this day and age that we have the responsibility of making sure our four legged companions not only have a good balanced diet, but also have a good grounding in obedience which will come in very handy as he/she gets older.
Social aspect of pack life you got to be in it to win it!
