Hi everyone, with this wild and unpredictable weather today I have postponed/rearranged all classes and outdoor sessions. Everyone should have been notified via email now but please reach out if you haven't seen the emails.

Big well done to my latest Pup Start Graduates 😁 🧑‍🎓 amazing work all round- I saw some wonderful progress particularly on the difficult stuff- loose lead and recall! And lots of fun was had, thanks for being a great bunch 🙏 we were missing a couple of people for the final session but they will hopefully attend next graduation for a bumper round!
The next Pup Start course sold out when I notified my wait list- so if you’d like to be added to the list please pop me a message 😊
If you were on the list and didn’t get an email- double check your junk as strict email settings sometimes intercept my emails the pesky internet devils! I’m just trying to train dogs dammit! 😂 🐾

Such a pleasure to be involved in the wonderful event on Sunday. Thanks to those of you that came it was great to see some familiar faces I hadn’t seen in ages! The event raised over £2000 for Keeping Hope Dog Rescue Cornwall which is much needed for veterinary bills amongst other things so thank you all very much.
Well done to all the dogs! We had such a good turnout it was so difficult to choose! Please know you are all loved and appreciated and I hope the dogs had a good time- it looked like they all did from my perspective 😊

A sad post I didn’t think I’d be writing anytime soon. Gin, one of my absolute OG walking dogs I have been lucky enough to hang out with almost every week since we moved to Cornwall, has gone over the rainbow bridge way too young.
After a short illness his family lost him last week, but were kind enough to let me come to the house and hang out with him a couple of times once again before he left- no walks, just quiet cuddles sat on the floor together ❤️ I’m so sorry you guys lost him so young, he was a truly special dog.
He was one of those dogs that when he looked in your eyes you think- “you’re just a hairy human on four legs..” I have been lucky to share a really special bond with this beautiful boy, he’s been to my house, met many of my friends and family and been my own dog Wilma’s best pal these last few years.
He was full of life, kindness and was always up for any adventure. As you can see from these pics he was a handsome devil too!
Gin, I’ll miss you, you felt like a member of my own family. I’ll see you later for unlimited walks brother ❤️

Thrilled to say I’ve been asked to judge the fun dog show for Keeping Hope Dog Rescue Cornwall ❤️ Sunday 27th July at 1pm. I love these guys and the work they do so I’m very excited to be involved in such a fun day with a great cause!
I’d love to see as many of you there as I can- and I know firsthand you’ve all got some amazing dogs! Any support anybody can give is greatly appreciated 😊
There’ll be lots of fun activities on the day, and you get to see me sweating struggling to choose between all the incredible dogs there 😂

Check out the categories for our dog show !! We are pleased to say the wonderful Jack from St Austell Dog Care will be the judge on the day. Jack helps us support foster homes/adopters with further training needs of our rescue dogs along side his very busy own life/job. Have a chat with him on the day if your looking for a fabulous trainer or even puppy classes which he runs.

It’s been a hell of a couple of weeks! I had some serious transport issues, but I am now back in action 💪
This is an appreciation post for the people that helped me through this manic couple of weeks! Thank you to Keeping Hope Dog Rescue Cornwall who lent me their van! 🤯 that got me through being able to see some customers during the period!
Swipe to see the red mean machine in the flesh! Grew to love that van over the days I had it 😍
And a huge thank you to my clients and customers who have been so understanding, patient and flexible- you guys are the best ❤️
Thanks to .hounds for giving me a lift to nursery to pick my daughter up ♥️
Also swipe to see me and Wilma on the bus attending sessions when we had no other option! 😂
I rely completely on my transport, and felt totally powerless so thank you guys for easing my stress!
As a self employed person, we have to make a lot of calls to take single personal days off- can be really stressful letting people down so thank you guys all for making me feel much better about all that, truly!
Lots of people have helped me and offered to help last couple of weeks, feel truly blessed to know you all and felt so supported! Thank you guys!

Well done guys, seeing you progress through the course always puts a smile on my face, and seeing the dogs pull their owners into the building is the best review I could ever get 😂
