We've only gone and won the Kennel club good citizen dog scheme obedience stakes qualifying us to compete in the final at crufts! And second place in pre beginners, all this on top of winning up a grade in agility last week.

Amazing way to end the agility summer season. 1st in Agility with no faults. 3rd in jumping and a clear in the steeplechase. We only need one more win to go up a grade! 🤩

Happy international dog's day, here's Jess showing off her win from her latest agility competition. 😊

I hope everyone has managed to stay cool during the heat wave.

With hot weather warnings being issued by the Met Office, it's important to remember the signs of heatstroke in dogs. Never risk walking your dog at peak times, keep them cool & safe. 🥵☀️

If you suspect your dog may be suffering from heatstroke, call your vet immediately to get a diagnosis and an appropriate plan of action. Whilst you are phoning your vet, move your dog to a cool area, offer water for them to drink, and pour tepid water over their body.

UPDATE: We recommend using tepid water (room temperature) whilst getting urgent veterinary advice. We believe every individual dog deserves the best possible care, which would require personalised veterinary guidance. We support the use of cold water once a vet has made a diagnosis of heat stroke.

Happy Easter everyone 🐾😊🐣🐰

Loads of yummy safe food too add to your dog's dinner, as a treat or even for training. Tasting palates are a fun way to find out what your dog enjoys eating.

Tired of seeing infographs of foods your dog can't eat?

Here is a nifty printable infograph of some awesome foods found in your refrigerator that they CAN eat! :D

Please stay safe everyone. Please don't walk your dog, one missed walk won't kill them. There's loads to enrichment you can do indoors including short training sessions. Before you let your dogs out for a wee make sure your fences are still up and gates are closed, keep them on a lead in necessary. Strong winds can be frightening for many dogs.

Just taking the dog out 👀 🐕 Stay safe everyone, wherever you are in the UK and dare we say, please don’t actually take your doggos out in this! 💨

Jess can be very distracted when out, she's also very sound sensitive which makes training outside tricky, she also likes to chase a squirrel or two 🐿
I've been very careful about walking through woods with her, we've done a lot of recall training away from squirrels, she now gets occasional off lead walks through the woods when I feel she's in a responsive mood and at a time where there's not so many squirrels around. Here I've added a middle to her recall.

Biothane is a definite winner for long lines especially in this weather although they are slippery when wet!

BioThane® is the brand name of all coated webbing products made by BioThane Coated Webbing Corp. It’s basically a polyester webbing with a TPU or PVC coating that makes it more durable, waterproof and easy to clean

There's not just one but several great enclosed dog walking paddocks, loads of enrichment activities and I believe they'll even have a park for children too. I'm really looking forward to exploring this one.

Max is not just lovely he's lively, he managed to offer a lovely sit long enough for a photo this week! I love working with this boy, he's so eager to learn. 😊
