Decompression and down time, are just as important to your pups, as their mental and physical stimulation! Here’s how we spent our bank holiday Monday 😴🤍

- a big thank you to our newest volunteer El on her first day with us!🥰

The benefits to enriching the lives of your pooches are endless, but to name a few reasons why we love what we do 🤩 :

* The range of enrichment activities we offer at Fetch & Focus, help to build up their individual confidence, teach a variety of new skills, reduce stress levels and lessen unwanted behaviours by providing both mental and physical stimulation - leaving you with happier, healthier and tired pups!

* Enrichment sessions also allow dogs to explore and use their natural instincts in a controlled environment.

* Our pooches get the best of all worlds, as they:
- Benefit from socialisation with new dogs new humans, new scents and new activities.
- Benefit from trying new types of healthy but yummy foods and exploring stimulating methods of enjoying that food.
- Benefit from occupational enrichment sessions, which use cognitive thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Benefit from working all of their senses, which helps desensitise from outside stresses and builds confidence in new situations, whilst stimulating their brains.
- Benefit from physical stimulation too, helping to build stronger, healthier and happier pooches!

A glimpse into some of the enrichment sessions we hold for our pooches, tiring their brains in the most engaging ways 🤩 Photo spam - PART 3

With each session we have the flexibility to:

* Cater to allergies and sensitives, so everyone can get involved!
* Work each pooch individually, in smaller groups and as large packs to add range of difficulty and ensure everyone gets individual attention!
* Train and reinforce basic obedience skills and manners!
* Keep it fun and engaging!

This morning we had frozen foods and scent work. This afternoon we got to play on the nearly complete digger.
One of our young supporters Sonny Samantha Gemmell let us make use of his old bed, so we could add a little something to our beach. It’s been a huge success and follow to watch us improve it to make it a scent sensation for the dogs 🐕

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great news, we’ve had an inspection from Wyre BC. We’ve passed with 5 stars again.
Thank you to our lovely customers for supporting us with our change to an Enrichment Centre. This was a big gamble and we have definitely noticed a huge difference.
This means we are going to open up some spaces on all days. ❤️.
So please feel free to share our page. We appreciate it 🐾.

Here at Fetch & Focus - Canine Training and Enrichment Centre.

We have 6 different internal areas, varying in size and function. Including a chilled beach area, TV area, that doubles up as our massage and chill zone, complete with comfy beds.

We are extremely lucky to have 4 OUTSIDE AREAS.
With a purpose built playground with artificial grass and another with a man made beach, complete with sand, driftwood and Canine picnic area, we really have covered everything your dog needs. We are outside people and feel it’s really important that our external areas, provide the enrichment your dogs need. They can stay indoors at home 🤣. All our external areas are designed to cope with the British Weather.

More exciting things to come over the next 2 months.

⭐️⭐️We really do appreciate the shares. ⭐️⭐️

Thank you all again for supporting Hugo’s Small Animal Rescue and Sanctuary with our fun day 💕

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for everyone that supported today.
Sponsors of classes. Stall holders, marshalls , volunteers, and to everyone that paid for animal encounters and our dog show.

As a result we’ve raised in excess of £1000 for Hugo’s animal sanctuary and this money will be helping to purchase a new reptile housing amongst other things.

Every penny raised today will go directly to helping the animals and we hope you had as much fun as we did.

Thank you , thank you, thank you ♥️🐐

If you are free today between 1-4pm you need to come and support our Hugo’s fundraiser.
They’ve brought along some of their ambassadors for you to meet.

For a tiny fee you can play with the goats, even take them for a little walk around the beach. see the owls, and other small animals.
Where else will you get to walk goats on the beach?!?!

I can’t hide my excitement with this one, these guys made my year .

On top of this we have stalls, food and drink and a really fun dog show. Many classes including fancy dress, no pressure all just for fun. £1 a class

All proceeds go direct to Hugo’s animals and Bailey and his team will be around today for you to speak to and learn all about the 300 animals they currently care for 🌈♥️🐐

Hugo’s take a card payment, but the stall holders are primarily CASH ONLY. So please consider this 💷

Thank you to everyone that accommodated me shuffling appointments this week so I could go to Rhys’ school to talk about his suspension.
All sorted now, but this post just resonated why I love dogs so much. Just straight forward, simple souls.
Not capable of lies and deceit, no salary affecting how they behave. No power trip. No complicated rationale. No hidden agenda.

If they do have issues, it’s often because we as humans let them down. Small minority of genetics. But you know what I’m saying, these animals just make the world better and compensate for some humans on it.

Karen is a lovely lady and a lover of all animals great and small. If you’re looking for boarding , this is a great idea and an alternative to home boarding. ♥️

Gabs and I and the rest of the staff have been working around the clock to bring some exciting changes.
🚘 the car park will be finished Monday and fully open 👏🏼. We’ve been delayed due to the weather. This huge space will also become our FOURTH external enrichment area, as we can close the huge gates.

🏝️the beach has had a facelift and is now a sensory playground that can be hired privately.

Still to come… our “Alice in Wooderland” We have consulted with scent work professionals and we are using our THIRD external area to bring you a place of natural trees, plants and scent areas, combined with an inside area that you can enjoy afternoon tea with friends whilst your dogs play. WE ARE SO EXCITED! This will be our largest external area and we’ve been waiting for the time and budget to develop this area. 2024 it’s coming ❤️🐇♠️♥️♣️♦️

Some teaser pics below. Full information to follow.
If you’re interested in hiring one of our areas, please contact us on 07710 977889 all will have access to Tea/coffee facilities.
The Fetch and Focus playground and the Alice in “Wooderland” have toilet facilities. Unfortunately the beach area doesn’t, but each hire is usually a maximum of an hour.

All THREE areas have access to fresh running water for the dogs refreshment. Plus bins to deposit your waste.🐾
