April 2025

Welcome to StrikeMore’s Monthly update! This April has been full of exciting progress for our pups!
Freya has been building her confidence in public access with visits to shops, parks, and even a museum. She’s mastering her down-stay and settle during busy moments like packing, and is showing great focus by calmly ignoring distractions such as passersby and playful children.
Atlas has had a busy social calendar too—exploring an outdoor aviary, attending a retirement party, riding the bus to meet a cat, and enjoying his very first free-run with Freya! He’s growing in trust and responsiveness with different handlers, particularly during training and grooming, and has started learning impressive task-work that could benefit his future person.
Meanwhile, Elmo has been working hard in a wide range of environments, including farmers markets, hospitals, hotels, and even supported her handler through a hospital stay—offering vital help with retrieves and deep pressure therapy during recovery.
