The Urban Dog

16/10/2025

Next Training Days in Devon Coming Up!
Save the date: 29th-30th of November

I have a speaking engagement at Bicton College on the Monday following, so I’m planning to spend the weekend before with you, which is great because I really miss you all!

Please drop me a message here, on WhatsApp, or email [email protected] to get on the interest list, to be able to book a place once everything is confirmed.

Here’s what’s planned:
✅ Scent Work Advanced Challenges (as usual :))
✅ Scent Work Skills Workshop : slightly different format, a bit longer so we have time to geek out and train (I have so much exciting info to share).
✅ Scent 1-2-1s, as usual; if you’re not on my regular list, contact me ASAP
✅ Urban Freestyle Skill Building: two groups: foundations for young dogs and advanced work. Since the weather might be questionable, we’ll aim for an indoor space to really focus on new moves, finish others, and so much more!

If I have extra time, I’ll also offer young dog 1-2-1s, covering life skills and sports skills in the Cullompton area.

I'm so looking forward to see you all :).

Happy Birthday, P ❤️❤️❤️

Here’s to many more years of playing, training, cuddles, relaxing together, camping, adventures, loving all your friends and of course, total craziness.

You’re probably the happiest, most loving, and one of the funniest dogs I’ve ever known. You are always ready to step forward without hesitation to protect when needed, changing into a serious beast.
I can always count on you in everything we do!

Evry day is a P day, but today is even more!
Love you ###x

It's Freya's birthday ❤️
She is 11!!

She’s happy, healthy, and still up for every adventure—which makes my heart so full. Every walk, cuddle, and training session is a memory to treasure.

We’re celebrating with runs, swims, training, girls-only lunch dates, and of course… extra treats!

Love you, little girl ❤️❤️❤️!

We are so proud of Sue & Tarell!

"Getting that certificate and rosette made it all worth it, and I didn't think I was like that" 🥹 🎖️

Huge Congratulations to Sue & Tarell for passing their LEVEL 1 with flying colours. Despite Tarell being a superstar thanks to Sue's hard work, like many of us Sue feels the pressure when it comes to being assessed and was quite nervous about her submission.

She needn't have been because it was an almost perfect example of a LEVEL 1 routine.

Well done for conquering your fears Sue and thank you for the pictures of the proud boy!
