As we change from our summer times, we have a rare opportunity for two dogs and handlers to join our Agility Class on Sunday mornings from October.

This is an ideal chance for dogs who have mastered the Agility Basics to join a lovely fun group to take their skills to the next level or just 'proof' training in a different environment on both grass and our purpose built equestrian surface arena. DT9 5LP

Not just for Sporting Dogs!

Wet, icy and slippery conditions can easily result in small muscle strains.

On their own they aren't disastrous but adding up, or favouring a particular area can lead to chronic problems or long term compensatory issues.

We highly recommend you get your dog checked regularly by a qualified professional who specialises in this field.

A Canine Physiotherapist or a Clinical Canine Massage Specialist is ideally placed to spot early problems and keep your dog happy and pain free for longer

Locally we are super lucky to have Jo Welsby of Phoenix Canine Therapies just down the road in Alton Pancras. Jo offers FREE muscular health checks. (Treatment requires a veterinary consent form).

Our dogs are treated regularly and we see a clear difference afterwards.

Highly recommended. Phoenix Canine Therapies

So grateful to have Jo at Phoenix Therapies, just down the road in Alton Pancras.

Monthly clinical massage to identify and treat early, prevent compensatory injuries and keep minor strains becoming a chronic problem.
