Good morning all, back from our holiday and sorting through the diary ✈️🖥🐕‍🦺

I am very sad to share that yesterday the decision was made that Tilly had reached the end.

We said goodbye at 4pm and she went to sleep very peacefully in my arms.

Those of you who know Tilly personally will know she was a legend, not always in a good way (mostly not) BUT she has been with me for the past 15 years and achieved more than ever thought possible by anyone. Defying her beginnings, her breeding, her size and herself.

I have more stories than I can count, she taught me more than any other dog and forced me to learn.

We will miss you, you "old goat" ♥️

As the weather warms up, please remember not to leave your faithful friend in your car. Dogs can overheat quickly - even if a window has been left open and they have access to water. The RSPCA has excellent advice if you come across a dog in distress 👉 https://crowd.in/kR10Wu

Hi all, I had hoped to be showering you with cute dog pics after recovering (mostly) from my back flare up.
Amazingly, before getting to see the majority of trainee's we have a round of covid making us I'll here at doglife towers. It looks like mid April as things stand for me to start getting rebooking in place. Thanks for your patience 🙏

23/03/2022

Bookings are now being arranged again! If you have outstanding sessions or wish to arrange an initial consultation please get in touch via the page messenger.

Thanks to everyone for your continued patience.

For those unaware, following an epidural at the end of the year to help relieve my back pain it has unfortunately had the opposite effect.

As such I had a period of postponements before deciding to cancel appointments for a 2wk period to allow concentrated recovery. I had aimed to return to sessions today but unfortunately I'm still in too much pain and struggling with mobility.

I shall update soon... I hope 🙏

Many people may have seen in the local news that there have been some dead seagulls found on Longrock beach. A small number of these birds have been tested for avian flu and have been found to be positive.

Although the risk to human and other animals health is classified as low risk, please do not allow your dogs to touch any dead birds and please observe strict hygiene yourselves if you should come across one.

Further information can be found on the government website. This is the link

Good morning and Happy New year to all.

1st day back after the festive break 🙌 I shall respond to all messages today. And will be taking bookings from this Thursday the 6th.

As with the end of last year due to family commitments availability is limited to thur/Fri and Saturdays when available.

Good news is I'm past the recent spell of back pain and ready to train some dogs 🐶

22/12/2021

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all followers of the page and every trainee and human I've had the pleasure of working with this past year 🙏

I think all current clients are aware I've had treatment for my back this week which also means an isolation period to minimise risk as it can compromise my immune system. I aim to be rebooking sessions from the 6th of January.

Aaah Magnus... He is unique 😂 great fun and super smart which really helped him get the hang of single scent search work today in Hayle 👌

Louis and I had a very productive session, Louis has a few trust issues and can over react at times. By the end of today's session he was much more chilled and coping very well 🙌

Good morning everyone :)

Social media has taken a backseat this summer and autumn as I have worked to clear the lockdown backlog.

A very busy summer is well and truly over and we are now firmly into winter with unpredictable but typically poor weather which can affect bookings with many sessions requiring outdoor environments and the stimulus of other dogs, people etc.

I have had the added disruption of my ongoing back issue flaring up for the past couple of months. As I type this I'm starting a new treatment plan and want to get everyone waiting, booked in and back at it.

I'm contacting everyone as appropriate slots are available but of course drop me a message to ensure you have informed me of your booking requirements.

I will endeavour to update again with pics etc and encourage anyone who hasn't left a review to please do so 🙏

And lastly, a reminder txt messages are NOT reliable for me. Please message via this page :)

01/10/2021

Good morning all, unfortunately I have to postpone all sessions today. I had hoped to resume sessions following our isolation period. Sadly this morning I have now woken with back spasms. It's quite severe so I'm unable to safely see anybody today. I'm really sorry to be letting everyone down, especially those who have rearranged already in the past week. I will be in touch with you all individually to rebook. Callum

22/09/2021

*General announcement*
Due to a positive Covid test I will be self isolating until and including the 30/9 therefor will be rebooking all existing sessions and postponing any initial consultations until caught up.

Apologies for the inconvenience. All clients booked in this period have been contacted. Please message me ASAP if you haven't received a message from me.

Our Story

At Doglife Cornwall, we seek to see everything through the eyes of your dog. My training methods centre around the use of marker training and behaviour shaping, utilising your dog's natural drives and rewarding with positive reinforcement. I have over 20 years of canine industry experience, boasting a proven record with consistent results in both training and resolving behavioural issues. I have dozens of successful behaviour resolution cases each year. Our classes have seen hundreds of puppies and adults reach a high obedience standard on and off lead. Alternatively our 1:1 sessions focus on your needs without the added distractions of a class environment. This allows us to concentrate on improving your dog management skills whilst getting your dog to the desired standard quickly, reliably and with positive motivation. I also have extensive experience in kennel management, rescue and rehoming, puppy/breed selection, I have trained dogs in scent detection, advanced agility, advanced obedience and high level protection as well as the supply and training of dogs for defence contractors, military and the police. I regularly receive invitations to demonstrate working dog skills and safe handling practices. I have also undertaken talks on dangerous dogs, safe handling and bite prevention.

At Doglife Cornwall we provide behavioural assessments coupled with behaviour modification schedules. A puppy selection service is also available as well as general advice on all aspects of dog ownership, from feeding to transportation, kennelling and socialisation.

We offer various training activities including but not limited to; Scent detection training. Agility training. Obedience on/off lead (at all levels). We also offer GP/PP dog training and assessments for operational protection and working dogs (following a suitable assessment). Please ask to see our portfolio containing certifications, accreditation's and numerous letters of recommendation and accolades from individuals, rescue organisations and K9 companies. We also have an extensive 5 star review online rating. I have qualifications and accreditation's in canine training and handling including EDI Ivl 2, ASSET Ivl 2, formerly NASDU/BIPDT/NTIPDU accredited. I am also canine first aid trained and insured.
