Big Pawgress!

A round of applause for these brilliant dogs who’ve just graduated from our Junior Course—the next step in becoming calm, confident, and well-mannered companions.

Congratulations to Jasper, Willow, Annie, Minnie, Archie, Bobby, Cooper & Spencer

A special shout out to Poppy (1st photo) who has taken part in classes with their family dog Jasper. Poppy listens to all feedback, acts really well on it and has a great relationship with Jasper.

This course is designed for dogs who’ve already done the basics and are ready to build on those skills in a real-life, practical way.
We cover:
• Loose lead walking, calm greetings, stays, recall & more
• Kennel Club Good Citizen exercises
• Fun tricks and confidence-building activities

• 6-week course
• Dogs of any age welcome
• Only 4 dogs per class for personalised support
• Run by me, Cris - trainer with 20+ years’ experience
• A calm, welcoming space where both dogs and humans feel at ease

Time to level up - If your dog has the basics and you’re ready to take things further, our next Junior Courses are coming up soon—and places are limited.

Feeling stuck with your dog training? You’re not alone.
When things feel tough, take a breath and remind yourself of the wins—no matter how small.
It’s easy to focus on the struggles, but celebrating what your dog can do helps shift your mindset and keeps you motivated.
You’re doing better than you think.

What’s something your dog is great at? Tell me below—I’d love to cheer you on!

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life.

Dog walk, coffee & flapjack, great company and the sun was out - perfect.

Good natter whilst we had a wander, dogs were beautifully behaved even though they’d never met before and were very patient whilst we sat with our coffee.

Got home, did a HIIT workout online and after a few weeks of feeling rubbish with a cold I’m now feeling recharged 🙂
