Wishing a very happy 4th birthday to our wonderful boy Obie! 🎉

Many of you will have met Obie, whether as a stooge dog on 1:1 sessions, on our group walks, or perhaps you’ve had the opportunity to see (and hear!) him mantrailing.

We are so proud of the dog he has become - like many of you, we’ve been on a long ol’ journey with him and he’s a true testament to how life-changing the right training approach, understanding of your dogs character, and breed fulfilment can be.

We love you lots Obie Bobie! Here’s to many more years of fun and adventures! 🥳

Looking to have fun with your dog this summer? ☀️

We’ve got not one, not two, but FOUR exciting sports that tap into your dog’s natural instincts, strengthen your relationship, and most importantly - are loads of fun!

🐕 Try Lure Coursing with our The Drive Within Workshops
Got a dog that just loves to chase things? Let them fulfil that need with our new workshops! You'll get the chance to have multiple rounds of chasing the lure, while also including a warm-up, cool-down, and cooperative play session in between.

🦴 Become a Canine Athlete with GRC Club
Join Staffordshire's first GRC Club, Constellation GRC! GRC stands for gameness, relationship, and (self) control and includes Social Responsibility training as well as a range of sports from spring pole to weight pull. Come along and stay as long as you like. Perfect for bull breeds like staffies!

🐀 Go Ratting with Barn Hunt UK
Watch your dog put their nose and brain to work as they sniff out a rat hidden in an enclosed barn setting. Try out our Open Workshops or take the plunge and sign up to our Trials to try and earn internationally recognised titles!

🔍 Hunt Someone Down with Mantrailing
Tap into your dog’s tracking instincts as they follow the scent trail of a hidden person. It’s rewarding, confidence-building, and ideal for dogs who love to use their nose.

💪 Supporting Canine Athletes
We’ve teamed up with Lucy from Step Ahead Veterinary Physiotherapy to offer small group, hands-on physiotherapy workshops. They’re a great way to help keep your dog in top condition, spot potential issues early, and support long-term mobility. They’re a must if you do dog sports, but just as valuable for anyone who wants to keep their dog fit, mobile, and feeling their best.

All sessions are beginner-friendly and also great for experienced handlers with a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere.

Spots fill fast - drop us a message for more info and book your summer adventures on our website now! ✨

Meet Ophelia 🩵

When searching for a next dog, we had a few criteria that were important to us. A hound to do scent sports with, but smaller for Sarah to handle. A breed predisposed to co-existing well with other dogs, fit for function, from a good lineage and an ethical breeder. Our perfect match came in the form of the Basset Bleu de Gascogne, a French working pack hound that is rare in the UK.

We are so grateful to Caelestibleu for trusting us with one of their special puppies. From crate training to toilet training, early neurological stimulation to handling, Ophelia has been provided with the most incredible foundations and so far has been an absolute dream.

She takes everything in her stride with confidence and inquisitiveness - maybe too much - those of you who’ve joined on walks recently will attest to how much she’s hated her papoose prison and just wanted to be running around 😂

She is so different to Obie when he was a puppy and we’re taking a totally different approach with her, focusing on socialisation, play and relationship building rather than obedience. We’re taking it very slowly with Obie to set them both up for success. He’s been so good so far and we’re sure they’ll be great friends 🫶

It’s a bonus that she is also the cutest thing in the entire world!

We can’t wait to share more about our journey with Ophelia, and what we get up to with her!
