Introducing our GROWL CLASS!
Our carefully structured Growl Class is designed specifically for dogs who react to other dogs helping them learn new coping strategies, while you gain the skills to understand, manage, and improve their behaviour.

* Controlled, safe environment to practice calm behaviour
* Small class sizes to reduce stress and ensure individual attention
* Focus on building confidence and trust between you and your dog
* Positive, reward based methods to change the way your dog feels about other dogs
* Practical techniques to help you handle real life situations

This is NOT a ‘watch and hope for the best’ class! You’ll learn exactly what to do when your dog sees another dog, how to prevent outbursts, and how to help them feel more comfortable.

Spaces Just Opened – Little Rascals Class!

📍Saturday 12th July | 10:00am | Puppy PlayBarn, Poringland

I have spaces become available on our upcoming Little Rascals course and thought I’d put the word out.

It’s a fun and friendly 5-week course held in our outdoor paddock, perfect for pups and young dogs under 18 months who need a bit of guidance, structure and social skills.

We’ll be covering:
• Loose lead walking & recall (with whistle too)
• Sit, down, stay, wait with distractions!
• Confidence building, play manners, and social skills
• Vet handling & grooming prep
• And how to stay calm and focused even with other dogs around!

We keep the group small, it’s taught by myself and Trish, and all sessions are positive, practical, and hands-on, no endless chats, just real training, real progress, and plenty of support from us both.

To book please visit our website puppyplaybarn.co.uk

Throwback to the year 2000!
Look how young I was! 😄 Back in the early days when our dog training classes took place at the vets, this photo was taken at the old Sprowston Vets, which many of you will now know as Dunelm!

It’s amazing to think how far things have come from those humble beginnings to what Puppy PlayBarn is today 💛

Two and a half decades of helping dogs and their families, one paw at a time 🐾

If you remember those days or trained with me back then, give me a shout in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!

Training Break Bliss
Meet Shannon, taking a well deserved break in the shade during today’s training session 💚

Training isn’t just about learning new skills it’s also about knowing when to rest, reset, and recharge. We always work at the dog’s pace and tailor sessions to make learning fun, calm, and confidence building

Lovely work today, Shannon, you’re absolutely smashing it!

🐾 Puppy Power Incoming! 🐾

What an adorable bunch we had today for their very first Little Rascals training session at Puppy PlayBarn! 💛

It’s always such a joy meeting our newest recruits, full of wiggles, wonder and (let’s be honest) a lot of excitement! We covered the basics, built some confidence, and started laying those all important foundations for a calm, focused, and happy pup.

This group is already shaping up to be little superstars 🌟🐶 and we can’t wait to see their progress over the next few weeks!
