SAT 21ST SEPTEMBER @ 10AM

Puppy classes are an invaluable investment in your puppy's future. These classes provide a structured environment where your puppy can learn essential socialisation skills, obedience cues, and proper behaviour from an early age. By exposing your puppy to a variety of people, dogs, and environments in a controlled setting, you help them build confidence and reduce the likelihood of developing fear or aggression issues later in life.
Additionally, puppy classes offer you, as a pet owner, the opportunity to learn effective training techniques and tips, ensuring that you can continue reinforcing good behaviour at home!🐶

What a beautiful day we had for Rufus’ training session today. We worked on loose lead walking as he’s a typical spaniel who likes to get to where he wants to go super fast. He’s making great progress and has an amazing family putting in the hard work 🐾

Last weeks session was on recall ( I just realised how rubbish I have been lately at sharing the photos from our sessions ) and today Rufus recalled like a boss away from a lot of distractions. Pockets of training everyday and consistency gets results. Well done Rufus ❤️❤️❤️

Good news for a Sunday morning. Last night was The Local Pet Awards and I was lucky enough to win Dog Walker of the year and Dog Trainer of the year. Totally unexpected so thank you to everyone who voted for me. I appreciate you ❤️❤️❤️

Superstar Callie ⭐️
Today we worked on Callie’s recall which was amazing, showing that all the hard work her and her mum having been doing around their engagement is paying off. Today we added some distance to the recall and she smashed it. Very proud 🙌

Meet Rufus 🐾

Rufus is a 3 month old working cocker spaniel and today was our first session from the puppy package. I was blown away at how much this wee guy already knows and can do after only being home for a week. He is so intelligent and I am so excited for our future sessions and seeing how much this wee guy will progress over the next few weeks 💙

WARNING ⚠️ begging post alert 🚨

In a couple of weeks I am -

1. Going to leave my dog at home ( this pretty much never happens as she is literally my best friend 🤣)

2. Stay out later than 7pm ( this also never happens as I now find myself happier at home surrounded by my animals 🐶🐶🐈‍⬛)

3. Get dressed up to black tie level 👗💃🏼👗 ( can you imagine the stress this is going to cause when I leave the outfit buying to the night before )

4. I know me, so knowing me this well means I understand that I will have a hangover like never before to contend with the following day 🤮🤮🤮

If all of these reasons don’t twist those heartstrings then this should ……….. I have spent the past 7 MONTHS KNEE DEEP IN MUD and my sparkly nature is being tested so taking all these things into consideration if you haven’t already can you please vote for me in the dog walker and dog trainer category please 🙏 and thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Voting closes on Monday and your support for my small, independent local business would be so much appreciated 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Reactivity training with Ellie tonight. Ellie had a traumatic start in life until her amazing parents rescued her but it has left her with reactivity issues when people come in her house so our first session of 4 was focused around working on management of the situation and putting a solid plan in place to help Ellie deal with these situations better.

Have you ever calmed down when you were mad because someone told you to ? If you are anything like me it will have only made it worse however if someone said “take a deep breath” then you do and it helps so teaching behaviours rather than being told is the key. I’m looking forward to seeing the progress 🐾❤️

Happi by name and Happi by nature. Today we introduced the Acme whistle to help with bullet proof recall around distractions and it worked a treat 🐾

Next step is building the wow factor associated with the whistle and setting Happi up for success!

22/03/2024

First session of the the day was with Skye recapping on everything she had learnt over the past month. The progress has been amazing ❤️

19/03/2024

Great session yesterday with Happi working on his recall around distractions. Best boy 💙
