For those Hoopers fans amongst you.

Canine Hoopers UK have voted that the Gate can now be used in courses, so will be added to our future lessons.

I have been introducing Wozzie to it over the last couple of days!

We love to see students return! It has been a 4 year gap for this beautiful girl ❤️. So lovely to be spending some time with her and her amazing Mum. They both needed a little confidence boost after losing their bestest friend 😢. But they have both finished this course with a bounce in their step and a new bundle of fluff has also joined their family too ❤️🐾🐶

With the wintry conditions forecast over the weekend, the councils will be out gritting roads to keep them clear from ice. Whilst this makes the roads safer to drive, it can cause an issue for our dogs as rock salt is highly toxic when ingested.

The gritters are out in force keeping the roads open but the rock salt can be fatal to pets

2024 Puppy Fun & Games Graduates and Festive Fun!
2024 Puppy Fun & Games Graduates and Festive Fun!

Puppy Fun & Games - Wrapping Up 2024 Paws up! 🐾 The final lesson of the year is in the bag, and what a tail-wagging year 2024 has been! I've had an amazing time helping so many of you train your furry friends.

You know your students have worked hard in their lesson when you get sent the evidence! 😴🐶🐾❤️. Get in touch if you want some of this in your life!

We’ve been working on this for a while for the day I need an assistance dog! I think I may end up regretting it! 🤣🐶

Little training session for Wozzie in the wind and rain today! Working on a wait, with duration and distance, impulse control, recall from distraction (the ball!) and his sister stealing the ball! And a lovely retrieve too😊 #trainingneverstops #puppyfunandgames

When you decide to test your dogs ability to wait and recall to their name, and one of them confirms she no longer responds to her actual name and only her nickname! 🤣

Immy has been a bit reluctant to get in the van since she recently went to the vets for a dental! With a holiday on the horizon I am going to start topping up her value for being in the van and brush up on her vehicle manners! For obvious safety reasons it is important that my dogs do not rush to get out of the vehicle and will wait until given their release cue. So re-visiting this foundation skill is important🐶🐾

Sometimes, when you have had a brilliant lesson practicing your recall you just need to celebrate with a good old roll and sniff about in the shade! Love these guys and their amazing owners! ❤️🐶🐾

What a fab Hoopers session this evening 😍

Wozzie is having a little op next week. As there is a chance that he might try to nibble or chew his wound while it is healing, I want to prevent that from happening as much as possible. You can do this by using a buster or inflatable collar. I want to introduce this in a positive manner and let him know it is nothing to worry about. I also don’t want to overwhelm him by introducing it after his operation when he is probably going to be feeling a bit sore and confused. Desensitizing your dog before they have to wear it can help make the whole process much easier for you and them. I’ve been using the buster collar to play the She/He Wears A Halo game as he already knows and loves this! Today we have advanced to moving around outside while wearing it, to make sure he is happy to go to the toilet with it on. I have been keeping all our sessions short and have been rewarding with treats every step of the way, we only play when he is happy and relaxed. Using positive reinforcement and taking the slow and steady approach, to ensure he is ready for the situation, not in the situation has definitely paid off.

The sun was shining for our fab hoopers session this evening! What a pair of superstars🤩 freddie_dalmatian

Puppy Fun And Games At Wagtails

This is a 6 week course that is run on a 1 to 1 basis. This means we are totally flexible in our lessons and can tailor them to any particular struggles you are experiencing or goals you would like to work towards. The training is based on concepts and learning through games and play, which at the same time helps you build the valuable relationship between you and your dog. These classes are about people and pups enjoying the sessions and focussing on having FUN! The lessons are between 45-60 minutes long, depending on the attention span of your puppy! We have both indoor and outdoor facilities which means we can be totally flexible on where we hold the class depending on the weather. No standing out in the rain or snow! We have a large gravel parking area on site for your convenience. Depending on the weather we also have the benefit of a Herbal Healing Garden for your puppy to sniff round and explore for some additional enrichment. We also provide access to a number of e-books throughout the course which supports the lessons and games that you will be playing! Be prepared for homework too!! The more you play the games with your pup the quicker they will learn, but it is so much fun it doesn't feel like learning. WE PLAY FOR A FUN TIME NOT A LONG TIME!
