Cleaver Dog Training

23/12/2025

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

Fantastic morning today learning to dance for my next Freestyle dog dancing routine!
Thanks so much to Clover Hayer-Brown for a great session. Still not sure which of my left feet should go where but will definitely get practicing before our next session 😂

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

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.

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.

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.
