Fitness session on the treadmill yesterday for the lovely Raven at HydroPet Fitness and Rehabilition Centre

We've done lots of training this year and we'll be competing again from April so it's really important that I keep her in the best condition 🤗🥰🐾

Storms 10 min dog walk training session last night in 30 seconds.

The idea is that one or both of her back feet hit below the blue line which we're not quite getting yet but with more practice and a slightly longer stride as she gains confidence, she will.

It's taking lots of hours training but we're getting there 🐾🔥

There are still a couple of places available on the next puppy class, starting Friday 31st Jan in Grimsby.

🐾 Puppy Classes 🐾

A 6-week course designed to help puppy develop confidence, life skills and good habits.

My next course starts:
Friday 31st January, 5pm at Grimsby Canine Centre

Cost: £125

Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 6 puppies so that everyone can have lots of individual coaching as well as taking part in group exercises.

Little Tinkers only ever uses positive reward based training techniques.

Please call me to book your place on 07776 255642 or get in touch via our contact page.

Welcoming a new puppy into your family is always a big adventure - even for seasoned dog owners. Every puppy has a different character and Little Tinkers puppy training classes are designed to help you understand that little personality and develop it as your pup grows into a confident, loving and well behaved adult dog.

In this six week long course, I’ll show you how to manage common puppy behaviours such as biting, chewing and jumping up and I’ll give you lots of tips on toilet training, settling and socialising. We will also be introducing some simple obedience training for recall, loose lead walking, impulse control, and sitting nicely when asked.

Six weeks is never long enough to teach a pup all of the lifeskills they need, but it’s a good start. Once you have completed the course, you might want to join one of our obedience classes and begin working towards your IMDT Partnership Grades.

Pop me a message to book your place.

Lots of useful information regarding pain in dogs.

My dogs see a physiotherapist on a regular basis. This helps to recognise and treat any signs of discomfort early.

Let's talk about signs of pain in dogs 🐕🐾

It's a common misconception that if a dog is not whining or crying, then they are not in pain. Vocalisation is just one sign of pain in dogs.

Pain in dogs can be presented both physically and behaviourally, with some of the main signs of pain listed below. Behavioural indicators of pain are not just the presence of new behaviours, but can also be the absence or reduction of their normal behaviours, such as a reluctance to jump into the car or use the stairs, refusing to go for walks or being less interested in play.

However, the below list is not exhaustive, with signs of pain varying between individual dogs. It is also important to recognise that some dogs can become stoic, showing only very subtle signs of pain despite the high level of pain they are in.

If you are concerned if your dog is in pain, contact your vet or physiotherapist to dicuss changes in their pain management and treatment plan.
