Lovely physiotherapy session for Raven and Havok this morning with RMB Veterinary Physiotherapy, in the comfort of their own home. Havok did brilliantly, and relaxed so much more by the end. So proud of him.

Lovely weekend spent at Lincoln Agility Enthusiasts show.

Raven ran some lovely courses but waited until her last run of the weekend to get her first win towards Grade 5 😍

I've been looking after the gorgeous 😍 Rocket recently. He's a very shy boy and although he's a regular client, it's taken lots of time and patience to be able to fuss him like this. Other than his humans, I'm the only other person he accepts. I'm very privileged 🤗

There's still chance to attend my next 6 week puppy course starting on Tuesday. Pop me a message to reserve your place

🐾 Puppy Classes 🐾

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

Next course starts:
Tuesday 20th August, 6.00pm - 4 spaces

OR

Saturday 14th September, 11:00am

These will be the last puppy training classes for this year.

Cost: £110
Training classes take place outdoors in my large, puppy safe field at North Kelsey so please dress for the British weather.

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.

First walk of the day is the lovely Bracken 🤗💕🐾 Lots of sniffs, gentle plod at her own pace. She gets soooo excited to come out with me.

05/08/2024

I wanted to brush Storm yesterday and she's a very happy, wriggly girl so using this Kong mat, with suction cups on the back is a great way to keep her still, stood up and occupied whilst we do some grooming 🤗 Worked a treat with a bit of squeezy cheese.

03/08/2024

Just for fun..... if your dog was human, what job would they have?

Raven - she'd work in the care sector, dishing out the love and cuddles all day long 😍🤗🐾

Storm - pick pocket 🤣 Always has something stolen in her mouth lol

Havok - serving serious prison time, for taking the wrap for his little sisters mischievous antics 🙈😆

Happy 1st Birthday to my bat 💩 crazy Storm. You're like living with a whirlwind but I wouldn't have you any other way 💕🐾😍

26/07/2024

Morning cuddles with this little lady. Listen to those gorgeous purrs 💕🐾🐱

25/07/2024

I get too engrossed teaching my agility classes that I rarely video any of them but I did video this fab team, once they'd trained the course and multiple handling options. Well done.

25/07/2024

First walk of the day with the lovely Honey 🍯 💕 🐾

24/07/2024

A little bit of something different in last night's puppy class with a scentwork demo from J25dog. The pups did amazing and the beauty of scentwork is that any dog can do it, any age, any breed.

22/07/2024

Scent Detection course starting in August. Contact J25dog directly for more information or to book your place 👇

Classes starting August get in touch for information and any question you might have.

Apologies if I run a little later than usual this week. There's a road closure in Binbrook and I'm having to go well out of my way to get to clients so please bear with me 🙈

21/07/2024

I had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous 😍 Otter yesterday for a puppy training session.

Otter is just 10 weeks old but as she's the first puppy her parents have had, they wanted to ensure they get off to a great start with reward based training.

We focussed on some impulse control, calming techniques and teaching Otter to settle as well as discussing toilet training and puppy biting.

Really looking forward to working with this great team 😁🐾

19/07/2024

This afternoons walks have been replaced with garden / home visits due to the high temperatures.

Great opportunity for sofa cuddles and playful antics with the adorable Darla 😍🤣

Something that's frequently discussed in puppy classes is puppy mouthing / biting. One of the first things I ask is 'how much sleep is puppy getting?' The response in general is that they're not getting enough.

Up to 20 hours a day for some pups, many aren't getting anywhere near this amount which is often a significant contributing factor with puppy biting.

It's always worth keeping a diary so you can compare your puppy's behaviour to their sleeping pattern.

When new puppy owners refer to that evening 'wall of death' or 'witching hour' this is often a sign that they're over tired. Pop them in their bed with a Kong or long lasting chew and chances are, they'll be crashed in a few minutes.

I've attached a really useful puppy biting checklist.
