Drop me a message and we can look at getting you booked on.

Hi everyone,

If you didn't manage to attend any training classes with your puppy during lockdown, or you would like the opportunity to go over basic training in a group setting, I just wanted to let you know we are running a couple of one off courses for dogs ages 21weeks to 1 year to cover basic training. They are running for a limited time due to the lack of face to face training during lockdown, the first course will be starting on the 17th June. These are outdoor group classes so your dog will be able to work on training around others.
If you are interested, please drop me a message, let me know and we can look at getting you booked in. 😊

This is a really informative read, focusing mostly of vet visits but still applicable to day to day life.
Things to look out for when allowing your dog to meet others and some common misconceptions such as what does a waggy tail mean?

Just a thought of the day I felt compelled to share..

Working in veterinary medicine is where I single handedly see the most dog to dog mishaps with the general public due to simply lacking knowledge on dog behavior, and lack of respect for both their own dog and other dog’s space. Let me play it out for you, of what I see, all too often. Owner has their dog in the waiting room on a loose, long leash. The Dog is free to roam within a 6 ft radius. Another dog and its owner attempt to come in the doors, only to be blocked and greeted nose to nose by the uncontrolled dog, now tense on his leash, pulling and eager to meet. Its owner speaks out, “oh it’s okay! I’ve got him, and he’s friendly☺️” Here is where I step in to politely ask the owner to keep her dog close to her, only to get a response of “he’s fine, he’s wagging his tail!” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Little do they know, I see something else, way more complex, far beyond their assumptions.

Education and knowledge is power. Especially when you are dealing with an animal that you are supposed to mentor and guide for its lifetime, to ensure stability, confidence, and respect. In my professional and outright personal opinion, never is it okay to:
1) Allow your dog to greet another dog nose to nose on a tense leash
*A dog greeted head on is generally very rude, intrusive, and unnatural in the dog world, and can create conflict right from the get go. Any dog can take this posture as threatening, and begin defensive aggressive behavior. To make matters worse, a tense leash can build the energy in a dog to produce reactive behavior due to space constraints. If you must introduce dogs on leash, it is better to allow them to greet side by side on a LOOSE leash, and relax!

2) Assume that a wagging tail is a happy dog wanting to interact
* A dog will wag its tail for a multitude of emotions. It is VITAL to understand what your dog is saying by it’s tail wag. Based on tail position and speed will indicate how the dog is feeling. For example, A low, fast wag can generally indicate nervous energy, or insecurity, which has potential to cause a fear aggressive response. A high, stiff wag can mean over-arousal/over-stimulation or intent of ready to spring into action. The dog will make lousy choices in this state of mind and make it more difficult to control should they “rev-up” more. A medial, soft & loose wag is generally universal for a happy dog. Get to know your wags!

3) Assume the other dog is just as “friendly” as yours
* Not all dogs are dog friendly. This should be obvious knowledge. Just because your dog is friendly does not mean the other is, too. They could be undersocialized, have social insecurities, or just be dog aggressive. Give other dogs space, please.

4) Allow your dog to interact with other dogs in a veterinary office waiting room
* Dogs often come into the vet office already stressed. It is generally not a place of pleasure as the dog is usually being shuffled into a tight room, being held by strangers only to be poked and prodded at. The smell of other ill dogs or even death is in the air which makes a dog uneasy. Most owners are often nervous FOR their dog during a vet visit so their energy does not help the dog, either. There may be the the smell of cats in the room, stress pheremones, and urine markings from other dogs. Dogs come in not feeling well, or maybe have arthritis, or painful from an injury. They may be recovering from a surgery. Or coming in to be put down due to old age or chronic illness. Now tell me why this sounds like a good spot to “play”?!

We all go to the vet with our dogs. Please make your next visit pleasurable for everyone!

We have another Puppy School course starting on the 16th Jan, we also have a Super Pup course starting this Sunday for Puppy School Graduates .https://client.puppyschool.co.uk/enquiry/SP/25D4287E-CA7C-47D4-B54E-5CB48E0587C2 :)

With the UK pretty much back in full lockdown and continuing until at least mid-feb, we will be continuing with online puppy classes - our next course is starting on the 16th Jan at 13.00. 😊 and Peppermint will be joining! 🥰 not only that but we have introduced our Snakes and Ladders socialisation game which has been super popular on our Puppy School and Super Pup courses.
We don't know when normal classes will resume, but our online courses have been very successful and very popular, I recommend online training over no training in the absence of face 2 face classes. Hope to see you soon!
