Congratulations to our Cognitive Skills and Confidence Course graduates! 🎓🐾

A huge well done to all the teams who completed our six-week programme on Wednesday evening. Each partnership has shown remarkable progress, from dogs learning that the world can be a safe and enjoyable place, to those developing advanced skills that transfer directly into everyday life.

This course is designed to build thinking dogs, confident, curious learners who can problem-solve, regulate themselves, and engage calmly in new environments. Watching these dogs grow in focus, resilience, and optimism has been a real privilege.

We’re looking forward to seeing many of you again soon, some joining our November classes and others continuing their training journey in the New Year.

Keep practising your cognitive games and confidence-building exercises, every repetition strengthens your dog’s brain and belief in themselves. 🧠💪

🐾🎉 Congratulations Bron & Nicola! 🎉🐾

A big well done to Bron and Nicola for also passing their UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze Course this week! 👏

Bron, a stunning Greenland Dog, has been working hard to rebuild his confidence out in new environments, and what a transformation we’ve seen! 🌟 Despite the challenges, his determination and Nicola’s commitment have really shone through.

These dogs were originally bred for strength, endurance and pulling sleds through the Arctic, but as Bron’s shown us, that powerful nose works beautifully for scent detection too!

Bron absolutely stormed through his searches… we honestly couldn’t hide the scents hard enough for him! 🕵️‍♂️🐶

This just proves that any age, any breed, any background, every dog can enjoy and succeed in scentwork. 🌟

Well done again, both of you. We’re so proud!

Excited to see you both again in our Silver Course this November.

🎓 Congratulations to our Wednesday Night UK Sniffer Dog Graduates! 🎉

Wow, what an amazing group! From our wise older dogs to the bouncy little puppy, every single one of you absolutely smashed this course. 👏

We tried to make those hides tricky… but you made them look easy! 🐾 Your dedication, focus, and teamwork with your humans were brilliant to watch.

Huge well done to all our clever canines and their proud owners you’ve truly earned your UK Sniffer Dog Bronze certificates. 🐶💛

We can’t wait to see you all move up to Silver level and continue your scent detection adventures!

🐾 Puppy Hints and Tips at Mulberry House Vets🐾

What a busy evening we had last night with a lovely group of puppies and their families 🐶💜

We focused on some key early-training topics to help set puppies up for success:

✨ Puppy biting – why it happens and how to redirect those sharp little teeth onto the right things.
✨ Toilet training – building a routine and setting your puppy up to get it right from the start.
✨ Sleeping – helping puppies settle calmly and feel safe when alone.
✨ Enrichment – choosing chews, toys and activities that support learning and prevent unwanted behaviours.

We finished with a great Q&A, tackling common challenges and celebrating those early wins!

Early puppy training is all about building confidence, trust and calm routines, and it’s always lovely to see owners so dedicated to their pups’ progress 🥰

🐾 UK Bronze Sniffer Dogs – Level Up Week! 🐾

Last week our clever UK Bronze Sniffer Dog teams took things up a notch, learning to search for an even smaller piece of Kong, this time hidden inside all sorts of novel toys! 👃🎯

Both our Wednesday evening and Saturday morning teams did brilliantly. Some were building their duration on indication, others were tackling multiple hides, and a few even progressed to blind hides, a real milestone in their training journey. 🌟

As always, our courses are adaptable to each dog and handler. One of the most important skills for any trainer is knowing when to push for progress and when to pause and consolidate. Every team moves at their own pace, and that’s exactly as it should be. 🐶💪

Here are our Saturday morning stars in action 🎥👇

If you would like to join our November course please click on the link below and come to enjoy the fun with your dog…suitable for puppies right up to Golden Oldies.

Look at her go! 🐾✨

This clever adolescent Labrador is absolutely loving her training confidently sending out around a cone at a distance, full of enthusiasm and energy! 🚀💛

What makes this even more special is her journey. She joined us as a very shy puppy, unsure of herself and the world. Now, through patient guidance and plenty of positive experiences with her mum, and in our Cognitive Skills & Confidence Course, plus other courses already taken with us, she’s truly coming out of her shell.

🌟 These courses are designed to help dogs:
• Build focus and problem-solving skills 🧠
• Grow in confidence step by step 💪
• Channel their energy positively 🎯
• Strengthen their bond with their handler 🤝

Watching her light up during training is exactly why we love what we do. 🐶✨
