What an absolute joy it’s been watching this lovely bunch grow in confidence, focus and wagginess!

Our latest Puppy Foundation class has officially graduated — and what a brilliant little group they’ve been. From first sits and loose-lead walking to mastering recall and navigating the world with calm curiosity, these puppies (and their wonderful humans!) have come such a long way.

It’s not just about obedience — it’s about building a bond, understanding your dog’s needs, and setting them up for a lifetime of success. And seeing those tails wag each week? Well, that’s the real reward.

A big well done to all our puppy parents — your consistency, patience and love truly shine through.
