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!

Next training days are up in the booking
(UF dates are still going up)

Which session is for you?

SCENT WORK

Scent skill building: These sessions are more discussing the Why? and How?

- no fully trained indication yet: on these sessions we are working on different search skills and perfecting the indication. This is not just for beginners!

- fully trained indication: progress in search skills, same as above, but you are expected to have a non-destructive, solid indication :).

Advanced searches:
only for dogs who are working on clove & gun oil
We are doing really fun but challenging searches on these session. You can think of it as a fun practice with your dog (like solving a mystery :)) or a mock trial if you'd like. Location might be outside if weather allows it.

URBAN FREESTYLE

Tricks, Obedience and Obstacles, training out and about :).
For teams who have some tricks and dogs can safely work in busier environments.
