🎥 Look at me... WHAT DID I SAY? NO! 🤦♀️
Is this exactly how it feels when you're out with your spaniel?
You’re waving treats, squeaking toys, calling their name in that “dog trainer voice” you swore you’d never use, and they’re off… ears flapping, tail spinning, and nose glued to the ground like you don’t even exist.
But here’s the thing: it’s not hopeless! 🐶✨
At The Daisy Dog Academy, we know how to turn that whirlwind of sniffing, spinning, and selective hearing into a dog that ‘wants’ to listen to you—even when the world smells so much better.
👂 Imagine being the most interesting thing on your dog’s walk.
🚀 Picture calm, focused engagement—even when there’s a squirrel party in the park.
🐾 And yes, we can help without squashing their natural spaniel zest for life.
So, if you’re tired of feeling like the punchline of a sketch comedy every time you step outside with your pup, we’ve got you. Join us, and let’s get your dog actually hearing what you say!
Why not book up a free call so we can chat through how we can help you!
🎥 And tag a spaniel owner who needs to see this!

Mantrailing Take Two! 🐾🐶🐕🦺
What an absolute blast we had this afternoon with three fantastic teams hitting the trails!
🌟 Team Ginny: Our newest recruit absolutely smashed it on her first outing in a busy park! She’s a natural, and her lovely trail had us all cheering—what a way to kick off her mantrailing journey!
🌟 Team Blaze: Warming up? Pfft, more like warming ‘up’ the crowd! Blaze powered through high-distraction trails like a pro and still found time to celebrate with a classic roll in the mud—true style points there!
🌟 Team Storm: Working like the champ he is, Storm kept his focus despite all the off-lead dogs and the busy environment. His determination and ability to stay in the game were incredible to watch!
Huge well done to all the teams—you made it such a fun and rewarding session! Can’t wait for the next one.

Steve is always accusing me of buying more toys and treats! Bloody cheek!
Although with Daisy’s birthday and Christmas on the horizon I will definitely be getting in a few more toys! 🧸

🌟 Reactive Dog Day - A Tail-Wagging Success!🌟
Today we hosted our very first Reactive Dog Day in a secure paddock, and what a day it was! 🐾
For our incredible reactive dogs and their equally amazing humans, it was a chance to relax, explore, and enjoy the simple joy of running around—without the worry of unexpected doggy surprises around the corner.
These 45-minute sessions gave each dog the freedom to sniff, zoom, and just be themselves in a safe, stress-free environment. From sniffaris in the grass to that wonderful “off-lead wiggle” many of these dogs don’t often get to enjoy, it was truly heartwarming to see. 💕
We’re thrilled with how successful this event was, and we hope it’s the first of many. Whether your dog barks, lunges, or just needs their own space to shine, this is for you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a pawsitive day! Keep an eye out for our next Reactive Dog Day—let’s give these fabulous dogs more freedom to be themselves!
🐾 Because every dog deserves their moment to feel safe and free.🐾

Graduation 👨🎓 💜🌟 this little gang nailed it today!
Love seeing the puppies grow and develop as they mature and discover their place in the world!
As they hit their adolescence we are here to support them and help both dog and human through this difficult phase!
I am very sore Santa Paws will be paying them a visit! 🎅

🎄 Keep Your Christmas Merry and Vet-Free!🎄
Christmas is a time for joy, laughter, and... chocolates? Mince pies? Christmas cake? All delicious for us, but a big no-no for our furry friends! Let’s talk festive safety for the pups! 🐶❌
Top Christmas Dangers for Dogs:
1️⃣ Chocolate - Tempting but toxic! Even a small piece can upset their tummy or worse.
2️⃣ Grapes & Raisins - Found in mince pies, Christmas cake, and puddings. Even one grape can be harmful.
3️⃣ Christmas Pudding - It might smell amazing, but it’s packed with raisins, spices, and alcohol. Yikes!
4️⃣ Alcohol - Whether it’s in food or your unattended glass of mulled wine, keep it well out of reach.
Watch Out for the Little Ones!
Visiting kids (and even some sneaky adults) might not realise they’re sharing a festive snack with the dog. A quick chat about dog-safe treats can go a long way to keeping your pooch safe.
Tips for a Safe Christmas:
🎁 Keep festive foods out of reach (no counter-surfing snacks!).
🎅 Remind guests to avoid feeding the dog any ‘special treats’.
🐾 Have some dog-friendly festive snacks on hand—so no one feels left out!
Let’s keep this Christmas full of wagging tails, not vet bills. Watch the video for more tips and let’s keep your four-legged family members happy and healthy this holiday season!
What’s your pup’s favourite Christmas-safe treat? Share below!🐕🎅

🌟 3 Years of Tail-Wagging Adventures! 🌟
Here at The Daisy Dog Academy, we’re not just about teaching sit, stay, and fetch. We’re about the whole journey—from those first wobbly puppy paws to the seasoned swagger of a confident adult dog (and everything in between!). 🐾💛
Our amazing client, one of our lovely clients, has shared their story of how we’ve been there for them and their dog over the past 3 years. (Check out the video below! 🎥👇) It’s a heartwarming reminder of why we do what we do.
Because let’s face it—life with dogs is a rollercoaster of muddy paws, zoomies, training wins, and those “what are you eating now?!” moments. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
At The Daisy Dog Academy, we’re not just trainers; we’re your teammates, cheerleaders, and occasional tissue-passers (when your pup absolutely nails that recall, or when you just need a chat). 💪🐶
Whether it's the first time they sniffed out their trail in mantrailing, or the time they learned to "tidy their toys," we’re here for every wag, woof, and wonderful milestone. 🎉
Here’s to the next chapter with your amazing dog! 💕🐾
🎬 Hit play and see why we’re more than just dog trainers—we’re family. 🐕👨👩👧👦

🎉 Beginner Scent Class: Last Class of Term!🎉
What a cracking way to finish this term! Our brilliant beginner scent detectives tackled blind bag searches with confidence and then graduated to their first vehicle searches. 🚗🐾
Vehicle searches are no walk in the park! With all the odours clinging to a car—petrol, tyres, and yesterday’s crisps—it’s a whole new challenge for our canine sleuths. But wow, did they rise to the occasion! Watching those noses in action was just magic. 🌟👃
A massive well done to all the teams—you’ve worked so hard and it shows. Here’s to many more adventures on this scent-filled journey. 💪🐶 Keep sniffing, learning, and having fun!
