Have you set any new year's resolutions for you and your dog??
A big thank you to all of our Club Class clients who joined us for the Christmas party today.
🌟 We hope you had as much fun as we did 🌟
Congratulations to all our winners and everyone that took part. Waits, heelwork and retrieves were put to the test, not to mention the owners throwing skills 😄
We were very proud of you all!!

🚊Puppy Socialisation 🚊
Today Charlie took his puppy, Bam Bam, on a little socialisation trip. A quick train ride from Soham to Ely and a bit of time on the platform taking in all the sights and sounds.
This is what puppy socialisation is all about. Making sure you give your puppy plenty of time to adjust and get comfortable with all the new exciting things they see and hear.
As you can see from the video Bam Bam is looking interested but relaxed which is going to set her up well for many more successful socialisation trips in the future.
Has anyone else taken their dogs on a train ride?
🎓New Training Courses 🎓
Spring into the new year and into the new block of training courses.
All training courses, puppy school and club classes start back this weekend (7th Jan) we can't wait to see you all back at the dog school.
If you have any booking enquiries please email [email protected]

Merry Christmas!!
We would like to wish all clients, old and new, a very Merry Christmas. It has been wonderful to see so many dogs and families progress with their training this year.
As a Christmas treat, this is a fabulous video created by one of our club classes a few years back when we did a lockdown Christmas competition. We definitely felt it was worth posting again this year!
Thank you for all your support in 2022 and we look forward to seeing you in 2023.
Best wishes
Jo & Charlie (and the training team)
Don't forget the shop will be open this weekend if you need any extra special treats, gentle leaders, lick mats or tug toys.
The shop is in the grey container, next to the yellow toilet block. Just grab Gemma or any of the trainers when you are ready to make your purchase
(cash or card accepted)
☀️ EDIT: Classes Cancelled ☀️
The temperature is forecast to be a little cooler today and more importantly we do have a good breeze up at the dog school. So we WILL run classes today. We have paddling pools and lots of water!
We are sure you appreciate this is a changing situation and we will be reviewing things hourly, based on how the dogs are coping. Please check Facebook before coming to class Incas ethe breeze drops and we need to cancel

This is Gunner, he is currently in our puppy course and is doing really well.
His owners Morena and James have sent us this video of how they have expanded a little puppy send away, and we think it's definitely worth sharing.
You can see that Gunner is really enjoying practicing in the garden and having some fun learning new things. Well done guys, you are doing a great job!!
With classes having to be cancelled due to the heat, make sure that like Gunners family you are setting aside some time for practice. Find a shady part of the garden or a cool part of the house and run through a few exercises......keep it short and fun!!
(If you want to share any videos send them over to us.)
....And don't forget to keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram, if we need to cancel classes we will notify you on there.

Thursday Agility Classes - cancelled
Apologies for the late notice. Temperatures are high up at the Dog School, a bit too high for Agility to run tonight, unfortunately.
We will see you next week 🌞

Hello everyone,
We just want to pop a bit of a reminder on here to say that although Covid restrictions are lifting, cases are very high locally. We would therefore like to ask you to still remain cautious and considerate when attending training classes.
🐾 Please don't hang around too much in the car park before and after classes
🐾 Avoid fussing each other dogs (we know it's tempting so if you do, remember to wash your hands!)
🐾 Please continue to wear mask particularly if you haven't tested (LFT) that day.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and general support.
🎥 Weaver, the German Pinscher, probably reflecting what many of us our thinking..... mask wearing while training is tricky but if we can continue with them a bit longer that would be appreciated.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has booked in already for the January courses. Please can we ask any one who hasn't yet, to do so before the 15th December. (We will then be able to process all the bookings and confirm places before Christmas)
Talking of Christmas, here is a lovely video created by our Club Class Champions - Wednesday Evening Club, from last years virtual Christmas Club Competition. I willl pop a photo of how they did it in the comments.
We have a few more christmassy photos and videos from last years virtual competition, we may well share them over the next few weeks watch this space #christmasdog
