We had 2 Bronze passes this week! Very well done and congratulations to Bella the Staffie and Arnie the Goldie and their mums. I am very strict on my criteria and the quality of the exercises passed. This lot have taken everything on board and worked very hard on the last few details; taking their time to get it right with the knowledge that their passes are very well deserved. Have a breather ladies and let the Silver fun begin next week 🤩🥳🐾🐾

So very very proud of Leanne and Munch for passing Silver!! Munch has impaired hearing and sight and due to his owner, is also bonkers as is Leanne! Week in, week out they come along; Leanne always doubting every single exercise we do, and yes, at times they have struggled but she never gives up on him and to me, this is true devotion and Munch couldn’t have a better mum! They are both always smiling; Leanne always laughing and to be honest, Munch does have the last laugh lots of the time!! I can’t wait till next week when this pair embark on their Gold level. Watch this space!! Congratulations you two; we are all super proud of you both 😁 🥰🐾🐾

Congratulations to Samantha with Mika and Rhys and Kez with Charlie for passing Bronze!!! My favourite part of training people and their dogs is watching them week in and week out putting in the work to succeed which is not only a certificate and rosette but the knowledge that they have reached their goals and their dogs are flying and happy! So now ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for Silver!! Onwards and upwards; let more fun begin 😁😁🐾🐾

It's that time of year again where acorns will going to be flooding the floors and could become tempting to your dog. It's important to remember the dangers of acorns when they become ingested ⚠️

Did you know that acorns (and the entire Oak tree) is poisonous to dogs? 🌳
Here’s the signs and symptoms of acorn poisoning in dogs. Be sure to save this post for later and share to raise awareness! 🐶

Congratulations to Lacey and Crumble for passing Bronze!! Crumble is a Silver dog now!! Lacey can never quite believe that her little dog is capable of so much. In Silver class this week they were amazing and Crumble took everything in her stride. You can both do this Lacey!! Very well done 😁👍🐾

Congratulations to our very own trainee Instructor Amy and her lovely Kya for passing her Gold award this week! To pass Gold requires lots of dedication and hard work. The training starts with the foundations in the Pup/Foundation class and then we build on these through Bronze and Silver levels and on to the Gold where once all criteria are passed to a good standard, the Gold Award is a achieved!! Without the early foundations to build on, it would be very difficult to get this far. And we don’t stop there! We are happy to advance your training even further and also encourage you in to dog sports. At Hilsea branch my sport is Competitive Obedience and Amy has also got the bug now. I have also dabbled in Agility as has Amy and we are always happy to point you in the direction in which you want to go. So absolutely well done Amy and Kya; you do realise I’m going to even more picky now as you are in the ‘beyond’ part of our ‘Silver, Gold and Beyond’ class 🥳🐾🐾 😁
