Overnight sit with the lovely Sid
I love looking after this little man. We're slowly becoming friends which says alot for this little lad. He loves playing treat games with me so much. Choosing games to work his little brain are so important but making care work for each dog is what I pride myself on here at Practical Pups
Get in touch for meet and greets if you think pet sits might be the way for your pup when your off on an adventure.

Had these to absolutely beautiful westies for a one night pet sit while their humans enjoy a night in London. Bonnie is such a little madam while Alfie is a true gentleman. No matter how long your trip or how complicated your dogs may be, practical pups is the one for you! Get in touch to book your pet sit today

Pet sits are an amazing option for dogs who maybe don't like kennels and change. I try my absolute hardest to make sure your pups routine is stuck to in an environment there used to!

As the weather reaches such high temperatures this week it's important we know our pups are safe cool and hydrated. Pet drop ins available for as little as £10, these are perfect for letting pups out to the toilet, ensuring they are cool, refilling water dishes and even giving out frozen treats.

Sid here's parents have left him for the first time this weekend. So I'm here to stay with him. He's confused and a little worried but we're doing so well. He's amazing and slowly trusting me. Little early birthday present from his parents

Because we think people who foster dogs in need are true hero's we want to help them out. Our 1-2-1 traning sessions are discounted by up to 30% for foster pups so we can help reduce the amount of rescues who need homes!

Meet hermes, this little ball of energy has weekly walks to break up the days his owner is at work. Last week when his mum took him out she noticed he was getting agitated during meeting new dogs so today he came out with my girl neeka and she helped build his confidence when meeting new dogs. She also showed him the proper way to handle his big feelings. Successful walk and a happy little dog.

Great session yesterday with 9 month old apolo and his dad. They reached out to me looking for help with his recall after a previous trainer had failed him. By the end of our session his owner was absolutely blown away, literally and figuratively thanks to the British weather 😂
If you need help with your pup it's starts with a simple message. Could I be the right trainer for you?

I love seeing this handsome boy every week. So much so I've learnt some Spanish to use the commands his owner taught him. Collies are so smart. His 1 flaw however is during drop off he will lie in front of the door to stop me leaving 😢.
If your need some help with your pups exercise there's no shame in that. Capitans owners have a 2 hr walk every week on the days he's at home alone the longest!

Hello lovelies, I'm Cody the owner of Practical Pups. I thought id finnaly share some information about myself and my experience.
My love for dogs has been as long as I can remember when I was 9 years old my family and I started dryland husky racing. I grew up around all shapes and sizes of dogs and I think it really shaped the person I am today. Through the sport I met some amazing people who helped me learn so much but also showed me so many opportunities! Because of the I started helping with local husky experiences, they even helped me find one all the way in Finland. I worked in a husky safari Kennel's all the way out there where I helped look after over 150 dogs! After coming home I found a passion for making collars that worked for my dogs, that's where this all started. I took a break for a while to work in a German shepherd Kennel's where I helped to train dogs for sport and the police! Since then I have studied hard and attended the imdt 2 day and 4 day dog trainer courses and I'm currently working towards my assessment to become a qualified trainer.
Now I'm determined to help you and your pups live the life most practical for you! Whether that's thought traning classes, 1-2-1s, walks or pet sitting I'm here for you and more importantly your pups, so if your interested in my services you can rest assured I know my stuff 😂
Just a few fluffy faces I see regularly to draw in your attention
Much love from Practicial Pups

I'm absolutely kicking myself. The dogs on the current intro to scent work are absolutely smashing it so much so I keep forgetting to take promo things! I managed to get this 1 clip of smithy and his owner last week. Hopefully this Monday I'll have a friend with me to take some content to show you all the joys of scent work and how I run classes! Get in touch to see what classes we've got coming up!

The number one thing I find with teaching fun tricks is until you've got it you cannot be afraid of how crazy you look to other people! This was me teaching my dog neeka to do leg weavs for the first time. For a while I've had this video and not wanted to post it because of the way I look in it but honestly I know I'm not alone we've all looked like a mad person for the sake of our dogs so let's embrace it. If your interested in teaching your dog tricks like this let me know hopefully soon I'll be running some old dog new trick classes!
