On on the hunt for old yoga mats if anyone has one lurking in a cupboard somewhere.

Not worried about the condition as it's for dog training, and nope I'm not teaching dog yoga! It'll be for scent work!

Big thanks! Ruth

Look at the puppies practicing their polite greetings and calm interactions.

It's so important that your pup learns how to greet others in an appropriate manner..

For interactions to be positive we need our puppies to not be charging into the space of unknown dogs, that's just rude!

Setting your pup up for success from their first interactions is the key to having a polite dog.

Join me for my Life Skills courses to help you understand what socialisation is really all about and how to make it successful!

New course starting mid April!

If you have a dog that is ball obsessed then you need to join this five week course.

Repetitive ball throwing is bad for your dog mentally and physically. The stress and strain it puts on your dogs body not only lead to injury but will contribute to Arthritis.
Arthritis is not an old dogs disease, it effects all ages and breeds including puppies.
Arthritis is the biggest killer of dogs in the UK. More dogs are enthusianised for this than anything else.

This course will offer safe, stimulating, enriching alternatives to ball throwing that you and your dog will love.

Places are limited so grab one quickly

This is one of the best decisions I've made as a dog trainer. I'm proud to now be a Level 2 & 3 Instructor.

Not only has bought hours of fun to dogs and their people but it's helped so many dogs that were struggling. Their confidence has grown, their people say they have a better relationship with their dogs and scent work has been a big factor in these positive changes.

Huge congratulations to these guys for passing their Level 2. Thank you to all the team Canine Capers for having us in your class and for everything you did on the day. I'm super proud of Otto for his scent work but what makes me brim with pride is that he could have his photo taken with his friends (with some distance obviously!)

Thank you to Grace and Jessie for helping Otto build confidence around other dogs.

It's so nice to go to a club where everyone is so supportive and understands his needs.

You guys are ace!

Ruth broke the dogs! Only joking, these to are living their best lives rolling around playing in the park. It ca be difficult when you have two dogs with slightly different needs. We are aiming to build confidence and be calm around other dogs. Caleb and Cooper are joining some of my Tuesday Club classes to work on being around other dogs.

My Tuesday Club classes change theme each week and are always held out doors. My aim is to offer something for every dog and human.

Training that is done kindly and compassionately builds confident dogs and confident humans.



Message me if you are interested in joining any of the drop in sessions.

A day to celebrate and raise awareness for the dogs in yellow.

Yellow isn't just a sign that a dog may be reactive. Dogs can wear yellow for a variety of reasons...

💛 elderly and don't want to be approached

💛 sensitive and just need space

💛 in training, no distractions

💛 recovering from illness or surgery

💛 in season

💛 dog selective

💛 sensitive

It generally means " I need space "

Let's celebrate those dogs, share a photo below of your yellow dog

What an amazing day hanging out with all these awesome canine professionals. It was great to chat with Joss from ZOOMADOG - Dogs Health & Rehabilitation who travelled for 8 hours to show us the life changing equipment they provide for dogs that are struggling.


Tanya blew my mind explaining more about the neurological issues that our vet physios see in their clinics and what can be done to support these dogs and their humans.
