New year, new way to train with us.

Our regular scent classes have been full for years, so we’ve created something completely new: a rolling, monthly scent programme for people who’ve wanted to train with us but couldn’t get a spot.

Each month alternates between:
• In-person workshops in amazing real-world venues: farms, museums, churches, fort towns
• Virtual workshops where we break down the thinking behind the work, handling, and strategy

We teach whole-area searching, step by step, with clear, thorough guidance. No one is left to guess. No one falls behind.

💡 Spaces will be limited so we can keep it small, personal, and supportive.

First set of Gundog Workshops (technically December’s) took place this weekend.

The Saturday group worked really hard in a new environment using our field in Walworth, where I was super proud of them conditioning the shot noises and working hard on their whistle drills.

The Sunday group had the opportunity to head over to Adrenalin in North Yorkshire to put their skills to the test in thick cover. Safe to say, I think the dogs really enjoyed it. They worked hard on their whistle drills, working around continuous shot noises and retrieves (some even managed to pop a few birds up!).

Great work this weekend 😁🐾

Continuing with intention.

We’re not starting this year with a word.
Or a list.
Or a promise to do something entirely new.

We’re starting it by continuing what we already do, with care, intention, and belief in the process.

About who we are.
What we value.
And how we work.

This is a space built for dogs with depth, drive, sensitivity, intensity, curiosity, and for the people who want to understand them, not rush them.

We don’t do quick wins.
We don’t do shortcuts.
And we don’t try to make dogs smaller to make training easier.

What we do offer is thoughtful structure.
High standards paired with genuine support.
Training that asks people to show up, stay curious, and commit to the process.

As we move into this year, our priority is exactly the same as it’s always been:
to continue supporting the wonderful people and dogs who have been part of this club for so long.
Those who’ve trusted us, grown with us, and quietly helped shape what this place has become — thank you. You are the heartbeat of this club.

This year will be fuller.
Not louder, deeper.

Our classes will run as they do because they work.
The difference is demand.

There will be a longer waitlist.
Places will be offered intentionally, to those who align with how we train and what we stand for.

You won’t come here just because you want to.
You’ll come because you value quality, consistency, and dogs being allowed to be exactly who they are while learning how to live well in the world.

This year isn’t about growth for growth’s sake.
It’s about continuation.

Continuing to work with people who trust the process.
Continuing to support dogs who thrive when they’re understood.
And continuing to build a club that feels purposeful, steady, and deeply rewarding to be part of.

If you’re already here, thank you for being part of it.
If you’re hoping to join us, we’ll meet you with clarity and care when the time is right.

And with that, from both of us,
a very happy, exuberant, utterly brilliant New Year to you and your dogs.
May it be filled with curiosity, joy, and moments that remind us all: we are enough.

👀 What’s New for 2026?

Well, we have the amazing trials to look forward to, we already have the dates for our workshops, Scent trials and Scurry.

But more than that, we have a great announcement to make…

Our barn is getting renovated (to a degree). We are getting our roof fixed - yay no more leaking!

On top of that, once the roof is fixed, we can start to look at adding a surface to our indoor area, which will positively impact the dogs working. This provides better cushioning and support for their joints when performing bigger activities, as well as acting as insulation to keep the barn slightly warmer than it is.

2026 is going to be a good year, we just couldn’t wait to share the details with you!

✨ What are your goals for 2026? ✨

Not just “better behaviour”…
But how do you want life with your dog to feel?

More relaxed walks?
Better focus around distractions?
Confidence instead of chaos?

Drop your 2026 goals below ⬇️
Big or small - every goal starts with intention.

Let’s make next year one of progress, understanding and teamwork 🐾❤️

somehing I don’t think we talk about enough:

Even when you’re a trainer, it can be hard to find space to train your own dog.

I know how to train.
But knowing what to do and having somewhere to actually do it — with focus, consistency, and support — are two very different things.

Going to a regular sports class with Saga (Erin’s Tuesday group) has given me the accountability I needed, without any pressure.

That weekly commitment works really well for me.

Over time we’ve built lots of skills together — not just things that live in class, but skills I can now use confidently and competently in real life too.
They feel usable. Reliable. Ours.

The class gives me a set time and space where I can just turn up and work my dog.
No planning. No juggling. No trying to squeeze it in around everything else.

There’s also something really valuable about being part of a familiar group.
People who notice the small changes.
Who understand what you’re working towards.
Who quietly celebrate the wins with you.

And honestly — spending that focused time with Saga is genuinely fun.
That hour each week reminds me why I love doing this in the first place.

Seeing the progress makes me want to do more in between — not because I “should”, but because it’s working.

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about accountability, community, and having a space where training feels purposeful.

I’m really grateful for that 💛🐾

5 years of Saga 🐾 (Gotcha Day)

Five years ago I met the teeniest, tiniest puppy.
All ears. All eyes. No idea how big her feelings were about to be.

And somehow… that tiny puppy became my shadow.

Saga has grown into the dog who is always there — pressed against my leg, draped around my shoulders like a scarf, following me from room to room, checking in, watching, feeling everything right alongside me. My constant in so many quiet, everyday ways.

She loves hard.
She plays harder.
She doesn’t do “half”.

She’s the very best big sister and the softest little sister to the other spaniels — bossy when needed, gentle when it matters, always deeply connected to her people.

Five years of big feelings.
Five years of intensity, joy, noise, and love.
Five years of a dog who has never once apologised for being fully herself.

And neither will I.

Happy Gotcha Day, Saga 💛🐾
I loved you then. I love you even more now.

✨ Your 2026 journey doesn’t start in January… it starts now ✨

Confidence isn’t built overnight.
Strong foundations don’t happen by accident.

The dogs who thrive next year are the ones whose owners start laying the groundwork today. Whether that’s:

🐾 Building calmness
🐾 Improving communications
🐾 Or finally feeling supported on your training journey

📅 We are now taking bookings for our 2026 courses, and spaces always go quicker than people expect.

Future you (and your dog) will be glad you started early.
