Limited Board & Train Spaces Available

I have a very limited number of board and train spots opening up in the coming months. But before you enquire, let’s clear something up—this is NOT the same as a residential training programme stay.

My board and train programme is designed to maintain and reinforce the training your dog has already learned. This means keeping behaviors sharp, preventing bad habits from creeping in, and providing structure—unlike typical home-from-home boarding, where multiple dogs and a lack of routine can lead to setbacks, if not managed.

Here, your dog will follow a structured routine, receive daily training, and stay on track with their progress.

If you’re serious about maintaining your dog’s training while you’re away, DM me for more details!

UPDATE, Teddy is now reserved pending meet and greet.

**Teddy the Pug Needs a Loving New Home**

We are helping a family rehome their beloved black pug, Teddy, aged 8, DOB 10/01/2018, as they navigate significant changes in their lives. This decision has not been made lightly, but they feel it’s in Teddy’s best interest to find a home where he can receive the love, attention, and time he truly deserves.

About Teddy:
- **Breed:** Black Pug
- **Neutered & Microchipped:** Yes
- **Health:** Fully up-to-date with flea and worm treatments
- **Temperament:**
- Friendly, affectionate, and loves cuddles
- Great with kids, though he gets excited around food and may jump up
- **Training Needs:** Teddy is food-motivated, which is helpful for training. He needs work on lead training and managing his excitement around food. When Teddy was out with South West Walkies I would always have him off lead and he would walk to heel beautifully. His lead training would be when on pavements/ road walking.
- **House-trained:** Yes
- **Exercise Needs:** He would benefit from regular walks and playtime to help him stay active and maintain a healthy weight. Teddy is a very sociable pug and has been a member of South West Walkies from 2019 to 2023 and has been a pleasure to have.

What He’s Looking For:
Teddy needs a home where someone has the time and patience to focus on his training and provide him with daily exercise. He might do well with a larger dog companion to play with and would thrive in a household where he gets plenty of attention.

Teddy is a truly sweet dog who will make a wonderful companion for the right family. If you think you could offer Teddy the loving home he needs, please get in touch for more details.

Let’s help Teddy find his perfect forever home!

Spot on recall. Learnt from the best at the Yorkshire Canine Academy under their mentorship. I will be offering recall training programmes in the very near future. Keep your eyes peeled. Being able to learn from some of the top trainers in the country and to continue learning from them is a privilege and a blessing.
