Hey it's Wren 🐦🐾

The human regularly gives me a really good brush-brush

Look how much fur came out! You could make a Papillon puppy out of that!

God, I hope they don't make a Papillon puppy. I do not want to share my house with a puppy thank you.

I hope she's leaving my enough fur for me to keep warm when we go for our walks 🥶

Also, guess what? It's the 3 year anniversary of Wren Wednesday!

🎉 Congratulations! This lovely group of people and puppies completed their Puppy College course yesterday and it been lovely seeing them over the past few weeks

⭐ Simba
⭐ Luna
⭐ Wes
⭐ Tommy

The course is designed to teach adolescent puppies that learning new skills with their humans is fun and worthwhile, the skills learned have multi-purpose uses

They have all really enjoyed themselves and hopefully their humans have too 😄

On Thursday I started off a new Pick N Mix group at Martham Paw Ground !

It was so cold 🥶 but the sun was out and we had a lovely time

All of the newbies did a great job and enjoyed learning their new recall games ❤️

There was a real mix in this group; Teddy (6) and Bailey (10 months) are both rescues that have really struck lucky with their new families. Mango is an adolescent pup and hopefully in the next class we'll have a giant joining in, more on that later!

This little delight graduated from Pre-School last night!

Well done Bert!

Me and Shannon Rackheath Vets have enjoyed getting to know him

He begins Puppy School in Hoveton this Saturday so I will get to keep seeing this class clown for longer 🩷

Sometimes I feel like the state of the dog training world is overwhelmingly sad. There is so much horrible advice everywhere.

But every so often something comes along to give me a boost and remind me to carry on doing what I'm doing

These videos have popped up on my memories from 2 years ago

Gracie attended my classes in 2019, and her owners were really keen to learn as much as they could; their attendence was impeccable, even when Gracie was unable to attend a class they still came along to learn. They took notes in every class. They took everything I said and put it into action. I hadn't seen them in a while, but they popped over to say hello after my classes one day

And I'm so glad they did!

Gracie is an absolute credit to them

Like most poodle crosses- she needs to use that amazing brain of hers to keep her out of mischief. Her calmness and confidence was just amazing to see for a dog in the middle of adolescence

Gracie's owners showed off all the fun tricks they've taught her, and told me all about how proud of her they are and how much they enjoy her

And this is what it's all about, this has given me the boost I need once again

If you have made progress with your dog, gained a better understanding of them, feel proud of them, anything positive, no matter how small.... Please always contact your trainer to tell them❗

Because this is our positive reinforcement and we will always be grateful

And you never know, it might pop up again and again, just like this one has 🩷

Hey it's Wren 🐦🐾

The human is back to work after the Christmas break!

I'm helping by keeping her warm while she does her "sadmin". For some reason she gets less work done when I'm here, something about not being able to reach the keyboard?!

🩷 Puppy School 🩷

Got a puppy or getting one soon? Please read and share!

Did you know that the first few months of your puppy's life is about bonding, preventing problems and meeting their needs at the various stages of development?

Did you know that you are likely to have some puppy raising challenges challenges at 12 weeks, 16 weeks 6 months and 10 months (approx)?

Did you know that the most common age for dogs to be relinquished to rescue is during adolescence due to behaviour problems?

Did you know that your puppy's brain takes up to 3 years to fully develop, even long after their body is fully grown?

Did you know that one of the most important things for puppy parents to learn is how to read and understand puppy body language? (and there is a HUGE subject!)

Did you know that a lot of the stuff you read on Facebook forums about dog behaviour and training is actually detrimental to you and your puppy?

Did you know that puppies that attend safe and well run classes are less likely to have behaviour problems?

Did you know that the best time to attend classes is ASAP, you shouldn't wait until they are older

Did you know that socialisation can go wrong? Do you know how to tailor socialisation experiences for your individual puppy to help prevent this?

Did you know that your puppy is learning every moment they are awake and with every interaction you have with them; but they learn best when they are having fun?

Did you know that puppy classes are not just for brand new puppy owners?

🙋I have so much I'd love to teach you! I want you to educate and socialise your puppy the right way

My Puppy School classes are well established in Norfolk but I am determined to help more people and their puppies. I don't want you to backtrack due a rocky start where many mistakes were made with problems have become unmanageable

I want to equip you with the right information so that you understand your puppy, how they learn and can help manage and prevent problems...plus enjoy teaching them all the skills they need

My classes are welcoming and relaxed where no question is stupid and everything will be tailored to your individual puppy to help bring out the best in them

I keep my knowledge up to date so that I can give you the very best modern advice

Alongside the in-person course, you are provided with a range of resources (manual and online hub) to help you along your puppy raising journey

Due to popularity an additional course was added for 25th January and there are now limited spaces available so if you'd like to join the Puppy School family please go to the website now to secure your puppy's spot

**Please share this with your friends and family, but especially those getting a puppy soon or in the throws or raising their pup**

If you're not in the dog training & behaviour world, or not an enthusiast, you may not have heard of Karen Pryor. For me it's the loss of someone that has helped shape everything I do. RIP Karen

If you're looking to learn more about dogs; buy her book "Don't shoot the dog!", you won't regret it! It's a book for everyone

I'm sharing this post from a fellow dog pro below, as it's my favourite one I've seen so far!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15zbbrz7tq/

"When you stop relying on aversive controls such as threats, intimidation and punishment, and when you know how to use reinforcement to get not just the same but better results, your perception of the world undergoes a shift. You don't have to become a wimp. You don't have to give up being in charge. You lose nothing of yourself. You just see things you didn't see before."
Karen Pryor. 1932-2025

Do you have a dog and feel you've lost motivation and want to do something different, have a bit of fun, and get your training mojo back? Do you need a bit of guidance?

Would you like to learn more about recall, calmness, loose lead walking and utilizing your dog's natural instincts through nosework games?

Would you prefer to attend a very small outdoor group course where your puppy or dog will have as much space as they need from the other dogs?

I have a short course of 4 classes just for you!

Due to cancellation I have 1 place available on the next "Pick N Mix" course which begins on Thursday 9th January at 12:30pm, this takes place at Martham Paw Ground

This is not over 4 consecutive weeks, so you get plenty of practise between each class and build on your skills and connection with your dog

Interested to join? You can read more and book the space using the website (direct booking link will be in comments below)

This little bundle of cute is Baxter the

He's coming to Puppy Pre-School at Rackheath Vets

He was a singleton puppy, meaning he is being raised with no siblings, puppies that do not have litter mates to interact with can mean these puppies struggle in a variety of ways from dog-dog interaction to handling and frustration tolerance

Baxter is coming to the perfect sessions for a singleton puppy....they begin these classes after just the first vaccination before the very sensitive stage of socialisation tailors off at around 12 weeks of age. Baxter is being around other puppies nice and early, but without being bombarded with them, he needs space to feel safe! Throwing him into off-lead play with more confident puppies would absolutely terrify him and likely set him up for a lifetime of problems; this is a common mistake to make with sensitive puppies

In these sessions I introduce a range of exercises including frustration tolerance and familiarisation to gentle handling, plus carefully giving him the space he needs but safe opportunities to investigate the other puppies

What an absolute pleasure to have him in these sessions! 🥰
