Looking for interest. Who would be interested in an Intro to Working Collie Games Workshop. Taking a Collies natural ability to herd and adding in distance control and fun with the owner to help those collies and collie crosses who always want to be on the go:

* Hyper vigilant at home – listening out for sounds outside
* Barking at sounds or movement whilst in the garden
* Over-excited when going out in the car for a walk
* Lead walking can feel like water-skiing!
* Daren’t let them off their long-line as into everything, recall non-existent when distracted

These dogs with big personalities can be anything from young dogs to middle-aged adults. They need a bit more training and understanding to help them behave more appropriately in your home and out and about.

If you are interested then comment below along with your preferred day. We will then put something together to suit all.

🌞🌻Something New For The Summer🌞🌻
Canine Hoopers Workshops

Are you looking for a fun dog sport to get involved in, but don’t want to do competitions?

Is your dog frightened of his own shadow and needs more confidence?

Would you like to give your dog more mental and physical stimulation, in a safe environment?

Then our Introduction to Hoopers Workshop will let you experience the fun and show you what Hoopers can do for you and your dog.

During this workshop, we will teach you the basics and you will watch your dog gain confidence and have fun at the same time.

Hoopers is a wonderful all inclusive sport, like agility, for dogs of any age, health or size! The low-impact work means that it is a wonderful activity for dogs who have recently retired from more demanding sports or jobs and it’s a great activity to do with young dogs to learn about the world as well as older dogs who need an activity to keep those older brains ticking over!

Dates: Individual Workshops
Thursday 1st August 7pm to 8:30pm
Saturday 3rd August 1:30pm to 3pm
Thursday 15th August 7pm to 8:30pm
Saturday 17th August 1:30pm to 3pm

Cost: £50 per workshop per dog for up to 6 dogs maximum.

Puppies Puppies Puppies!!!!
Puppies can be hard work but they are absorbent little sponges who need to be taught how to live in the human world and how to be around humans and other dogs in a way that us humans like.
Our 2 puppy courses help do just that. Teaching them the actual skills and then how to do them under a multitude of different scenarios. Using clear, understandable training techniques not only for the human but the puppy alike we use positive rewards and reinforcement to encourage the behaviours we want whilst working on the puppy problems that will inevitably arise.

Puppy Junior High for those puppies who have completed Puppy Kindergarten.
You can book on our website on the bookings page

Why use stay or wait. If your dog truly knows sit. That is all you need.

Does you dog have self control ?

When you get to the park or field where you exercise your dog. Can you take your lead off and just stand still with your dog not moving. Or does it bolt for the hill as soon as that lead comes off. Your training goals should be about getting equipment off the dog not adding equipment to the dog. This is what we help you work towards here at Walkabout Hounds.

We are here to help everyone with Dogs & Puppies.

Send to bed challenge.

This is a fun challenge for you and your dog to try.
