And what a bunch of confident puppies we had! 🐾

If you're interested in joining us on our next round of puppy social, our next class starts on 4th November and is suitable for puppies up to 16 weeks at the start of class. Further information can be found below:

🎉⭐️ super star alert ⭐️🎉

Well done to Lucy and Shaka, Jen and Henry, Louise and Charlie, and Emily and Howie for acing their level 1 🐾⭐️🐾 and to Al and Nell for smashing level 2 🐾⭐️these guys have worked so hard over the past six weeks and I am so proud of what they’ve all achieved 😍.

⭐️🐾 NEW SCENTWORK CLASS 🐾⭐️
We have a new "Pet Detectives" class starting in September! Scentwork is a fabulous game for all dogs young and old! and provides a great mental workout, while giving them an outlet for their natural hunting behaviours. It really is the perfect game for all pet dogs!
To grab your place click here: https://letsplaydogtraining.as.me/swpandy715
Teach your dog to search for specific odours and alert you to where they are – just like the military and police dogs do! While police and military dogs might search for targets such as drugs and explosives, ☢️we use slightly less toxic substances, such as tea, herbs or catnip! ☘️
✅Scent detection is the most fabulous activity for pet dogs, giving them a taxing mental work out, improving problem solving skills and confidence with an added bonus of promoting the production of those feel-good hormones that help your dog chill out!
✅These classes are for complete beginners so there is absolutely no experience necessary to come along – you just need a dog, lots of snacks and a good sense of humour!
✅Classes are held in Pandy Village Hall on a Wednesday evening and cost £95 for a 6-week course which includes a scent kit for you to practice at home. At the end of your six weeks, if you and your dog would like to, you can take your Level 1 detection dog test and earn yourself a rosette to show off your achievements! 🐾🥇
✅Once you have passed your Level 1 you and your dog will be invited to join our private facebook community and come along to more classes to continue your detection journey, join us for ad-hoc detection days out, or even participate in some of my future research in this area !🥸
For this class dogs do need to be happy to work in proximity to other dogs. If you don’t think your dog can cope with a class environment don’t worry, just let us know as we do have some spaces for 121’s too.

This is Arnie 😍🐾 Arnie's human took the idea of increasing enrichment at home and ran with it 🐾😍 Meeting your dogs needs (things that they naturally like to do), is so important to help them feel fulfilled and content. Arnie has been struggling with separation at home and dogs when out and about - but is now making amazing progress 🥰🐾 Its all the little pieces of the of the jigsaw like these that eventually come together and make a difference 🐾. Well done Arnie and family - you are doing a great job 🥰 we may need to teach Arnie to clean up after himself next though🤣

⭐️🐾💕 Fabulous couple of days cognition testing with Endeavour Canine finding out more about how our dogs learn 🐾💕 So interesting watching how the dogs processed the tasks and considering their results alongside their individual personalities. It’s been a fabulous opportunity for each of our handlers to gain a deeper understanding of their dogs which will enhance their journey together 🐾💕 Huge thanks to Georgie for such a great couple of days, and to everyone who attended and made it such an enjoyable experience. But most of all thanks to all the fabulous dogs who opted in to every task and gave it their all ⭐️🐾💕
