Every morning I have breakfast and my two girls take themselves to their beds, they don’t nag me for food, they don’t beg me for a walk they know their job. This wasn’t always the case, it took some time and some training just like when I taught my other half to put things in the dishwasher and not just next to it 😂 but it is most definitely worth it!!!

So grateful to have spent yesterday morning with an amazing lady and two beautiful dogs that the universe has brought together, a privilege to know you guys and be a small part of your journey. How amazing is that close lead walking with two dogs!

Day in the life of crazy dog lady…I took my beautiful old girl down to our local amazing hydrotherapy place, Barkshire Hydrotherapy,to do some swimming and strengthen up her back legs after some surgery has left them a bit weaker than we’d like. Just reminds me how important it is to look at dog behaviour/training as part of the whole picture of care we give our dogs. How grumpy do you feel when you have back ache or stomach ache? Does it effect your behaviour?

I am Charley and I have run the Smiling Dog Company since 2013 and never really introduced myself on my page before so here goes…

I am a self-confessed crazy dog lady! I have had the privilege of running pet services for nearly 10 years, I have also been helping families with dog training for over 2 years now. I have 3 incredible Spanish Water Dogs, and a 2 legged child as well . I am not the best at sharing online, for many reasons I find it challenging to be so visible with some of the negativity you can see online. After a period of change and growth and with a renewed sense of positivity, hope and optimism I vow to share more on this page to help give you a glimpse into what we do at The Smiling Dog Company, the good, the bad and the hilarious!

I’m passionate about improving communication between our canine companions and humans as often things can get lost in translation. With the pressures of daily life and all the complications of being a human we can all do with a little support with conveying what we need our dogs to understand. Having a dog with a behavioural or training problem can feel frustrating, lonely and exhausting and I am committed as a trainer to change that picture for people and get results that work for them as individuals. Having a dog that doesn’t pull on lead, settles at home and comes back when they are called isn’t impossible and can be something everyone has with their dog.

Along with my amazing team we offer walking, daycare, boarding and one to one training services for some amazing clients. We are honoured to serve the community as a small business and grateful everyday for how amazing the people we get to work with are, from offers of lending vehicles in emergencies to the passion they have for their dogs, we genuinely are so lucky! We are also starting to offer board and train services as finding the time to fit dog training in, especially with a well ingrained problem, can feel impossible, so we are excited to help people in a tangible way to do some of the leg work for you!

If you would like to find out more about what we do give us a message and we can arrange a free 30mins call to discuss any struggles you might have at the moment.

It is with great heart break that we let you know our family has lost our beautiful girl Sky, she gave us so much and we will never forget her. She taught me so much, my first dog as an adult. Run free over the rainbow bridge and we hope they have as much pizza as you can eat!!
(Thank you to Larkmead Vets for your kind and understanding approach to Sky and us. Thank you to Mark Knight for the fantastic photos I have to remember my girl that are helping to ease the pain)

Do you have a beautiful Gundog that you don’t plan to take shooting but still needs some specialist, bespoke training?

Are you looking to start a training journey that helps you get real results and a dog you can be proud of?

If you dream of a dog that walks beautifully on lead, comes back to you EVERY time and is happy and calm at home BUT your current reality feels a million miles away from that….

Give me a call or message to discuss how you can start on a path to real life results with your Gunless Gundog!
