As we came to the end of our environmental tour with the boys what better way to finish than with an ice cream for the adults and a doggy ice cream for the boys TPD’s Vader, Kobi and Storm. Another great day. A report on how day 3 went with TPD’s Inca and Zee on X tomorrow.

From our young pups TPD’s Vader, Kobi & Storm enjoying their doggie ice cream bye for now.

Our 3 youngest pups and walkers having a well earned rest and coffee after a fantastic day out in Exeter. Left Nick & Tanesha with Kobi, Andy with Vader, Mike & Nicky with Storm. Video’s & pics of our day to follow.

We couldn’t afford tea at the Ivy on our visit to Exeter but we had a stop off there for a quick rest before continuing our city centre environmental experience.

The teams confidently dealt with going up and down in the lifts in John Lewis and the shiny floors.

[DC_Police Dogs ( Puppy Development Program) @DC_PoliceDogs]

Considering TPD’s Storm, Vader & Kobi are only just coming up to 5 months they were all excellent. Here they are negotiating the stairs and floors in Fat Face.

[DC_Police Dogs ( Puppy Development Program) @DC_PoliceDogs]

Here is Mike with TPD Storm after some prep work confidently going up and down the stairs and no longer needs the titbits. I can’t emphasise enough just how much confidence this gives the pups & helps them with future problem solving.

Our youngest group of pups attended training yesterday and did some work to prepare for their appearance at the Devon County show next week. Tanesha with TPD Kobi, Abergail with TPD Storm and Andy with TPD Vader

Abbie and TPD Storm tracking yesterday in very dry conditions. I had reservations about tracking yesterday because of the lack of moisture but I needn’t have worried as TPD’s Storm, Vader & Kobi all tracked really well.

TPD Storm is a lively lad but still did some nice loose lead walking much to the surprise of Nikki.

Astra and PC Emily were a new dog/ new handler team when they met, a very special partnership 🫶🏻

[IOM Shepherds @IomShepherds]

The stunning PD Astra 😍 She is from our 2021 litter, she traveled to Cumbria with her brother, Moose at 8 weeks old, where they both went on to become successful operational Police Dogs ☺️ Both are still going strong with their handlers - fabulous to see 💪🏻

The children were delighted to have their dogs there too and to be in charge of walks 😆 especially after missing them on our last trip.

Grateful for these kids and canine moments ✨

[IOM Shepherds @IomShepherds]

Precious memories were made taking our two oldest dogs, Cooper & Kelly on holiday with us 🥰

At 12.5 and 8.5 years old, respectively, it was ace for the older dogs to have a break away from the two younger dogs 🤣 and us be able to give them our undivided attention.

Love Storm (Bandit) kicking off waiting 🤣🤣👏🏻

[DC_Police Dogs ( Puppy Development Program) @DC_PoliceDogs]

A little bit of practice for the Devon County show in May. We pushed the boys on a bit today and they were all up for the challenge. Great work from TPD’s Vader, Kobi and Storm

[IOM Shepherds @IomShepherds]

This shouldn’t be underestimated! Well done pups and team 👏🏻
