Well that’s it before Christmas folks - it ended today with the annual challenge against one of my longest standing clients and friends (as well as now my surrogate mummy for hospital appointments!), Daphne and her dog Luton (who is my HTM dog dancing partner.

We competed against each other at various events and for the first time we also swapped dogs! After a long hard competition (aka lots of coffee, cake, gossip and a bit of training), the overall result was Daphne 4 points, me 4 points but as Daphne’s dog Luton slightly pipped Hettie to the post this year, they were awarded the win overall.

This impressive challenge cup will now take centre stage in her trophy cabinet until next year😂

Still a couple of agility sessions before the year end but in the meantime I would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy Christmas xx

HUGE WELL DONE TO SUSANNA AND NALA
This may look nothing particularly special but when you consider that 18 months ago Susannah (human!) was hobbling short distances on crutches awaiting major back surgery, this round is a massive achievement.
Before surgery and for months after, her dreams of taking part in an agility class seemed an impossible challenge but look at them both now. Ok so you won’t see them winning at Crufts but that was never the goal. The aim was for her to have fun at agility with her beloved dog and they have definitely achieved that.
Well done to both of you, I am hugely proud of how far you have come x

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN TRYING AGILITY?
We are due to start some more beginners agility courses in September, both mid week and on Saturdays.
Without wanting to put my amazingly lovely clients down 😂, our agility courses are aimed at average owners and pet dogs rather than for those aiming for Crufts, but with an experienced qualified trainer using full sized competition equipment.
Feel free to call Vikki on 07773 784402 to discuss if this would be suitable for you and your dog or see https://cleaverdogtraining.co.uk/agility

Begging now!
If you haven’t already done do, please please sign and share this petition to get the government to look at regulating animal rescue. There are so many awful ‘rescues’ in this country which not only affects the animals welfare, it also has a serious knock on effect on the adopters and safety of the general public.

Please do at least good dead today and include signing and sharing this petition

Many UK animal rescues operate without clear legal oversight, creating opportunities for unethical practices. Some rescues have been linked to supporting irresponsible breeding, neglecting animals, or misusing public donations.

Our Story

Cleaver Dog Training is run by Vikki Cleaver who is an accredited trainer with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, Pet Professional Guild and The Agility Club. We operate a strict code of ethics to ensure that all training is undertaken using positive force free methods. Group classes take place at MARES Community Farm, High Street, Old Amersham HP7 0EG where there are a selection of areas that we can train, including paddocks, covered arena and surfaced car park area. This reflects real life istuations rather than training inside a hall which does not refelct day to day life. There are also lots of different animals on site so dogs and puppies can learn to train alongside these. Groups are kept small with no more than 4-6 dogs in a class. One to one consultations can be held at MARES Farm or at an alternative venue by agreement within a 10-15 mile radius of Great Missenden. Vikki has a passion for dogs and has owned and trained various dogs throughout her life and competed at agility and showing including at Crufts. She currently has Millie, a 3 year old Field Spaniel who she shows and competes in rally and Obreedience competitions; and Hettie, a 3 year old Border Terrier Cross, that she took on in April 2016 with no previous training and has already been placed in rally competitions and is being introduced to heelwork to music and agility and already has an extensive 70+ trick repertoire.
