Waggy Canine Training

12/06/2024

Hello All - it's the end of an era! 😢

I created the Training side of Waggy Canine Services 8 years ago now! Can you believe it! It started with just Agility, and then grew to offering Puppy Training, Hoopers Training and then additional training lessons. Our Training style has always had the same core ethos in mind : that we are here for all dogs, all owners and have the dogs wellbeing as foremost in our minds. Over the years we have had the best times with dogs who are nervous, dogs who are confident, dogs who prefer to be on their own, dogs who love other dogs and dogs who have all sorts of health considerations. Every single one of these dogs have had loving and devoted owners who we have loved just as the dogs themselves...well ALMOST as much haha!

However, with my son Arthur starting school in September, along with ever growing health commitments needed for my own ageing dogs, I have sadly made the decision to close the company in July.

I would like to emphasise that this decision has been hard fought and has taken a lot of careful consideration. I have enjoyed progressing the company these last years as well as training all your animals, and I have put my heart and soul into it, but I feel that this is the time for me to focus more on my family and move forward with other chapters of my life. I would like to express and highlight how your loyalty and support of a small company has been such a fundamental part of our success, and how grateful I will always be for this. I wish I could pick up the phone to call you all individually and explain this, but at this time I am finding it all rather emotional!

Thank you all, for everything ❤️

Yesterday evenings our pups had the perfect weather to try out some recall games, and get a feel for using long lines in the lovely outdoor space of our venue. They all did so well and had a great time! 🐾🥰

⭐️ We have a last minute place available on our next recall workshop! This Sunday 12th May at 1:30pm, don’t miss out! ⭐️

Do you have a dog who switches off their ears as soon as they are off lead? Would they rather be off exploring and meeting new people than checking in with you? Do they run off when they know their lead is about to go back on?

If the answer is yes then this is the workshop for you!
In a relaxed, small group environment your instructor will teach you ways to show your dog how great it is for them to come back when called. You will also gain some experience in the best way to handle a training line and get the chance to try out our super fun recall toys!
We always aim to create an environment where any questions can be asked and dogs are set up to succeed.

Our next workshop is on Sunday 12th of May at 1:30pm at our training field in Swinderby. 1hr session for up to four dogs, £20.

Our favourite chilled out Sunday night activity will always be a snuffle mat! (Volume up for some serious snuffle sounds) ❤️🐾

Sniffing is the perfect activity to lower feelings of over excitement or stress while raising serotonin to make dogs feel relaxed and happy. Snuffle mats allow treats to be hidden deep in the fabric to be sniffed out!

Interested in a snuffle mat? Our Caroline makes them, including this one! Available in two sizes starting from just £12, message us for more info or to purchase one for your dog 🐾😍

Such an amazing day of Hoopers with lots of lovely dogs! Today we had an age range from 5mths to 10yrs all doing the same sport with no limitations or adjustments, this shows just what a fun and accessible sport this is for dogs of all ages and abilities 🐾❤️

05/04/2024

🐾🌟 Lovely sprocker Bentley and his awesome mum have been working so hard on his recall and have been making such beautiful progress! Recall can be such a difficult skill, especially for an adolescent like Bentley, but with lots of patience and lots of reinforcement it is achievable! 🌟🐾
Would you like to improve your dogs recall? Our super popular recall workshops are returning very soon, watch this space for more info…! 👀
