This class a natural progression from the skills learned in the Bronze Award and introduces new concepts that are important for everyday life, and is aimed at all dogs whether Kennel Club registered or not, and there is no age limit.

And a bit round of applause (or should that be ap-PAWS!) for our superstar Bronze graduates: Carter, Olive, and little Geoff (who wasn’t able to attend last night). I can’t believe all the awesome skills you achieved with your dogs and hope to see you back for Silver very soon!

Congratulations to Mabel, Buddy, Wilson, (and Pip and Poppy who were unable to attend last night) for graduating their puppy class last night. You guys did an excellent job in class last night and it has been so nice to see you progress every week! Keep up the great work! ⭐️🌟💫

I had the pleasure of working with the gorgeous Nala, a 13 week old Goldendoodle puppy. Her parents have already been working hard on helping her be the goodest girl and will be bringing her to class in a couple of weeks, but there were a couple of areas that they wanted a little bit of help with before then. It is such as good idea to address these before things go downhill! Nala and her parents absolutely smashed all the exercises that we worked on, and little Miss Nala was one sleepy pup by the end. I know that their future is bright together and I can't wait to continue working with you guys in class!

🐶📲 If anyone else feels that they and their dog would benefit from a 121 session with us, please get in contact and we'll see how we can help!

Welcome to class, new pupperonis!! 😍😍 These little cuties started their 6 week Puppy School course last night and they all did superbly!

I haven't had the time to update my total of the number of dogs that we have had in class for a long while. This evening, I was organising my registers and found out that we have had over FIVE HUNDRED (521, to be precise) dogs and their guardians graduate our classes since we started at Milton Village Hall!! 🎉🍾🎊

Every time you share our posts, recommend us to friends, or leave a kind review, it means the world to us. Knowing that you appreciate what we do and want to spread the word about our force-free, reward-based training makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Our team is constantly learning and growing to ensure we provide the most ethical, evidence-based training possible. Seeing our classes fill up so quickly is a wonderful reminder that we’re making a real difference!

We’ve loved being part of your training journeys, and we can’t wait to welcome even more amazing dogs and their humans through our doors! 🐶💙

Congratulations to this very sweet group of puppies for passing their Puppy course! Spencer, Wilma, Wilberforce, Otis, Ruby, and Rolo (who was unable to attend last night) achieved so much and progressed so well in their classes. Well done, pups!! 👩‍🎓🤩

Remember that Portsmouth FC are playing at home this evening, so there will probably be more people out, roads might be busier, and parking might be a bit worse than usual around Milton Village Hall.

You might want to factor this into your plans of how you are getting to class tonight -- we don't want you missing any graduation week fun!!

To join in the new puppy fun kicked off by our colleague, the wonderful Jade, and her Southbourne classes, we would like you to meet our new recruits on our Puppy School course in Portsmouth!

These pups were super clever and we can’t wait to continue their learning journey next week. They are all looking very serious in their photos below but if you could see the live shots, you’d see how happy and wriggly they were and how much their tails were wagging 🐶🐾

Thats a wrap for us, Merry Christmas everyone and have a wonderful break.

Love
Livie, Emily and Louise
