Well done to our puppies that graduated from our Puppy Classes on Saturday! It's always such a great feeling watching each of the puppies progress and grow their bond with their owners! Here is what a couple of them had to say about our classes:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We loved Cathy's group puppy classes. We have a lively springer spaniel and found Cathy to be very knowledgeable and observant, giving all the puppys her attention. She gave us lots of new tools with video tutorials too which were very appreciated. Thank you Cathy 🤗" Hannah & Penny
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Cathy is really experienced & knowledge. I found her classes to be really helpful & am looking forward to continuing our training with her at the next level." Annette & Ava

From frozen in fear to walking with confidence! 🚗🐶 This little dog used to panic at every passing car, refusing to move. But with a patient, tailored training plan, he’s made incredible progress! Now, he walks calmly on the street, focusing on his owner instead of the traffic. Proof that time, effort, and dedication truly pay off! 💪🐕❤️

🐾 A Reliable Recall Could Save Your Dog's Life! 🐾
Training a strong recall – especially from distractions – is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog. Whether it's calling your puppy away from another dog, wildlife, or simply mid-play, coming back when called is essential for their safety and freedom.
Practicing recall in different environments, with gradually increasing distractions, helps your dog learn that coming back to you is always the best choice – no matter what’s going on around them!
💪 Consistent practice
🐶 Positive reinforcement
🎯 Gradual challenge
These are the keys to building a recall you can trust – even in the most exciting situations!
Check out these clever pups practicing their recalls from distraction – setting them up for a lifetime of safe adventures! 🐕✨

Watching this once-fearful rescue dog come out of his shell and find real joy in training has been so rewarding! I love teaching a whistle recall because, with the right training, it’s clear, consistent, and easy to hear even in high-arousal situations. Not everyone has a high-pitched voice that carries, and whistles remove any emotional tone that might sneak into your voice. It’s a reliable, frustration-free way to grab attention.

Rocket had an adventure this morning when we met up with Shelley from Pawtopia Pet Services. On a gorgeous sunny day, he was living his best life—typical spaniel style! 🌞 He couldn’t resist diving into the stream for a splash. 💦 He absolutely loves water, and it’s always such a joy to see him so happy and full of energy. A wonderful time with great company. 🐾✨

Regular breaks make lead walking training more effective! This little pup was learning to walk nicely on one side, so he wouldn’t cross in front of his owner. He was doing so well—such a focused little puppy and a great connection! 🐶
We’ve already built a strong reinforcement history using treats to reward the heel position, and now we’re phasing out food rewards. The “go sniff” cue becomes an environmental reward, giving him a chance to take a break, decompress, and reset before continuing. At any stage of your training, short rest periods keep dogs engaged and prevent frustration, making training smoother and more enjoyable! 🐾

This morning on our walk, we spotted three deer in the distance. A beautiful sight! But moments like these remind us why a strong recall is so important. Many dogs can get excited by wildlife, and it’s our job to make sure they don’t disturb nature or get into trouble.
I know Rocket has a solid recall—he’s seen deer before on lead, but not yet off lead in the same field. With a road just behind them, I wasn’t about to test it and put everyone at unnecessary risk. Instead, we took a different path and left the deer in peace.
A strong recall comes from the right training and regular practice, but knowing when not to test it is just as important. Progress happens when we push forward, but some situations—like this one—aren’t worth the risk. Setting your dog up for success means recognising when to train and when to step back.
