🎉 We are friendly!! 🎉

We've been quiet for a while (where does the time go?!) but we wanted to reiterate how beautiful these dogs are and deserve our kindness and guidance. I am a big bully fan and will always advocate for

We went to see the gorgeous Tang today when his very responsible pet parents wanted some help making him comfortable in his .muzzle.movement muzzle! They had already done an amazing job and he wears it on every walk as is now required by law, but we gave some tips and tricks to making him comfortable for longer! The aim is for it to be just like their harness and they're super excited to see it!! We also helped with progressing some lead skills 💪🏼

My availability is extremely limited but even if I can't physically help with my time, I can send you free resources to help 💙

For anyone using Orangefield Park!!

‼️ Please Share ‼️

Cooper was a happy doggy last night playing the river in Orangefield Park escaping the heat. It only took 30 minutes for the toxins to take their toll on him.

He has been admitted to the vet with suspected neurological damage. Please DO NOT let your dogs into the river in Orangefield Park or other rivers.

We will find out the results later but the vet has prepared us for the worst with other dogs fatally affected by the same thing. Keep your dogs safe.

First week back after the holidays hits hard, or at least so JoJo thinks 🤣

This little monkey was knackered after our first session! Her parents have done such a good job with her but a bad experience means she's a little vocal with other dogs out and about 🔊

We worked on teaching her something more appropriate (and fun for her!) when seeing other dogs

She and her parents did amazing, keep up the hard work 🥳

Christmas 🎄 Dog 🐕 Dangers 🚫

20/09/2022

I met this majestic boy today for an initial consult!

His parents have done some amazing ground work so just building on teaching him coping mechanisms rather than reacting and being an all round good citizen 😇

Can't wait to see this lovely boy in a few weeks to check in with his progress!

09/09/2022

JUST LOOK at the size difference in this boy 🥺

Video 1 at 8 months and rewind to video 2 at 5months 🤯 he's going to be a big boy!

It was a soggy evening last night but made worth it by seeing this go so well! Bilbo is hitting adolescence so training has gone a little wayward WHICH IS 100% NORMAL

Hormones affect puppers' memory and ability to learn so while it may seem they're being "stubborn" or "defiant" and some might even be more wary of things than they were but their brain is really not functioning properly 😵‍💫

So take a breath 💆🏼 be patient, go back to scratch with your training, and make as many positive experiences as possible! It doesn't last forever 🙏🏼

19/08/2022

👀 YES you're seeing spots 😍

Got to join my favourite dots yesterday!

Tilly is doing so well on lead, we moved to door manners! She's smashing this (but does let her excited brain take over sometimes) so well done to her very patient human 😍

And just look how big Moss has got 😍 him and Clodagh are working on their lead skills and we're helping Moss through his teenager stage so he doesn't continue to torture mum! Work in progress but their parents are the best 💪🏼

We work with any issue big or small so get in touch now if you need some help for your furry friend 🐶

06/07/2022

Guess I couldn't avoid it forever 🥺 due to covid we'll be closing our doors for now. Please be patient for replies on messages or delays to your training. I'll try to still answer any emergency questions/queries.

Hopefully it's short and sweet and we don't have to delay next week's sessions too 🤞🏼Stay safe 💙

04/07/2022

Had our final pre-baby session with this handsome chap last week!

The change in this boy in such a short space of time has been amazing, such a credit to his parents 💙

Morris gets a little over-excitable when left to his own devices so we've giving him some more appropriate coping mechanisms and been getting him used to all things baby 👶🏼 in prep for the new arrival! Wishing his parents luck in the next few weeks ☘️

🧐 Spot the difference

Two different puppers, same butter-wont-melt face 😍

Both of these pup's parents are doing great just getting some good foundations in for the future 💪🏼

What a great Saturday 💃

08/06/2022

😍 Just look at this majestic chap!!

Anyone that knows me, knows I love a meaty headed dog and this boy was everything I love about a big dog - excitable, eager to please and full of kisses 🥰

He struggles with containing his excitement, which due to his size, some people might find intimidating so we're working on teaching calmer behaviours but his human has already got some amazing foundations in place so I know he'll smash it in no time 💃

👀 Spotted: a wild sniff pupper in his natural habitat 🐶

Sunny evening walks with a beagle are good for the soul 💙

No training, just being 😌 as important as training your pup is, it's important to just let our dogs be dogs🌾🌻

A day full of double cuddles 🥰

My 8 year old self would be dying now working with some Dalmations, and what a beautiful pair they are too 😍

And father and son duo old English Sheepdogs were full of big cuddles to brighten an early, dull morning 💃

First session with each pair, with lots of things to work on but what a brill day 💙

Busy week here at HQ 💃

Today we've been teaching handsome Bilbo here to keep his feet on the ground (as he's going to be a big boy 😅) feel relaxed when his people leave and settling when they're busy!

All that brain work means a very tired pupper 😴

If you need training, settling and tips to tire your dog out get in touch now 📞

Happy Monday 🎉

What a great start to the week with meeting little Ralph here, isn't he just gorgeous 😍

We were working on manners around his harness (you can see he's snuggling it rather than chewing it now after a session👌🏼) staying in place when people leave the room and redirecting him to appropriate ways to sooth his achy teeth 🦷
