Dog Training Hints and Tips.

12/09/2025

I've just completed a dog behaviour course that I absolutely loved.
It makes us think of the dogs L.E.G.S., which is Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self. So when we look at dogs' behaviours. Instead of looking at how a behaviour is happening, we look at WHY a behaviour is happening.

There is a free 1-hour training here for pet families and for people who want to learn more about how their dog thinks and why it does what it does.

We had a torrential rain today and the kennels was under water. All animals are safe but there’s a major clean up to do next week.

Oak Tree Animals’ Charity was hit by severe flooding, leaving our kennels and cattery underwater. We urgently need your help to repair damage, replace ruined supplies, and keep our animals safe, dry, and cared for. Please donate if you can!
