Do you know what you are entitled to access if you suspect your dog is lame?

I spoke to a colleague about the worrying reality of lameness in our dogs being hard to identify, diagnose and treat properly.

If you think you dog is moving a bit odd, I urge you to avoid any ‘experts’ who aren’t either a vet or a registered veterinary physiotherapist. There are lots of new ‘qualifications’ cropping up which unfortunately are working above their remit a lot of the time.

When our dogs’ comfort is being compromised, it is our duty to see fully qualified experts.

You can even self refer to veterinary physiotherapists and specialist musculoskeletal veterinary centres such as

Vets and registered veterinary physiotherapists are the only people who should be assessing, commenting on, diagnosing (only vets can diagnose any condition as stated by the RVCS) and treating your dogs lameness 🫣

Hopefully you’re never in this situation, but if you are, I got you 🙂

Gundog holidays!

How bliss would it be to pause all the stress of life for 3 days and spend time in the countryside with your dog and a fantastic bunch of people?

Well, you can!

On our private estate in Bordon you can join us for 3 days of fun, training, chinwagging and of course food!

Our next holidays are:

We will be working on all aspects of gundog training using the most incredible ground!

Come and join in the fun! Limited spaces left!

Let’s talk play!

Most of my training revolves around play. I don’t want my dog to know the difference between training and playing, as I always want them thinking a fun game is right around the corner!!

If you’ve trained with me, you’ll know that all basic obedience such as lead walking, recall, stay and retrieving are taught with games!!

If you’re struggling with any training issues, get in touch!!

A lot of the time it’s easy to overlook all the things you CAN do with your senior dog, and only focus on what you CAN’T do.

It’s so important for them (and us!) to keep their brains active!

How about👃 Scentwork!
Hide some tasty treats around the garden for them to snuffle, or in amongst some random household items placed in the kitchen.

You can take some novel smells and toys out on your walks. Sit down with them and let them investigate all the new and different things in your rucksack!

Use different ways of feeding them their dinner, such as scatters in the garden or using (easy) food puzzles!

You can even start some formal scentwork, whether that be some tracking or detection work!

Old dogs CAN learn new tricks! There is no reason we can’t keep their brains alive and give them enriching, fun and interactive things to do!

Get in touch if you’d like to learn some more activities to try with your oldie!

Hug your senior pup!

Come and see us!

🌟 Meet Kassie Woods: Surrey's Leading Dog Behaviourist! 🐾🎓

We're thrilled to announce Kassie Woods from Surrey Animal Behaviour as part of our talent line up for DogFest this year! Kassie is in a league of her own, and one of only 70 Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourists in the UK, and with a Master's degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour from the University of Lincoln. 👩‍🎓

Her expertise makes her one of the most sought-after behaviourists in the UK - not just to dog owners, but other professionals too as a frequent guest lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College. Kassie’s passion doesn’t stop at helping dogs, she's dedicated to mentoring the next generation and actively shaping the future of the behavior and training industry.

At the heart of Surrey Dog Behaviour are Kassie’s three dogs - Archie, Sunny and Flo. 💓🌈 A rainbow of Labradors, you’ll see them demoing their skills at DogFest in the Gundog Demonstration, where Kassie explains how you can make sure your working breed dog doesn’t go self-employed and cause mayhem! Inspired by Sunny, her teenage tearaway, Kassie will also be talking about how to engage with your adolescent dog - including the things you want to avoid! 🙅‍♀️

Kassie goes above and beyond in helping enrich the lives of gundogs who’ve got themselves into a bit of trouble! She’s keen to put the proof in the pudding, with her own pet gundogs boasting impressive achievements. With flawless Flo reaching Grade 4 and super Sunny achieving Grade 2 in gundog levels! 🏆
