This little cutie will be joining us soon for puppy classes, but in the meantime her humans wanted to make sure they were setting off on the right path with her crate training. 🥰🐾

Leaving a puppy to 'cry it out' is not recommended. Studies have shown that early distress like this will likely lead to a permanent knock in emotional resilience - a dog's ability to cope with everything life throws at them.

Working on a positive basis to build independence in a structured way such that pup isn't experiencing distress is the way to go! Molly is off to a flying start! 🥳😁🩷

Look at Murphy's happy relaxed face. 🥰🐾

This lovely boy is continuing to do well with his lead walking skills, and we have started introducing some impulse control work to complement his training. He is doing really well!

It is always a pleasure to work with people who really put the effort in - and it shows! When tackling unwanted habits they don't fix themselves, and there is no miracle magic wand to wave! Every time I see these guys I see big improvements - wonderful! 😀🐕

Look at Susie's snoozy face! 🥰😴🐾

She had a very energetic fun training session at the first session of our latest recall course and was tired out afterwards - so much so that she took herself back off to bed when she got home! ☺️

Lovely Gracie flying round her canine hoopers course last week! This pair are coming on leaps and bounds with their distance handling skills, getting better and better with every month - fantastic work guys! 🥳😀🐾🐕

Oh I do love a photo post-training of a tired out dog! 🥰🐕

Murphy worked really hard during his training session - not an easy feat when you're an excitable doggy teenager!

His lead walking skills are progressing really well, and his humans are working hard with him to see these brilliant steps forwards!

Tackling big (and difficult) training topics like lead walking are not easy, and don't change overnight - especially with big boisterous puppies, but perseverance pays! 💪😀🐾💙

We have loads planned for the next few months!

🐾 For the young puppies we run our Puppy Foundation Courses to get your pups off to the best start in life, teaching appropriate socialisation, valuable early learning and foundation skills.

🐾 Our 3-session Recall Courses are designed to equip you with the skills you need to build an effective, reliable recall whilst building on your relationship with your dog. This is a fun, dynamic training course which the humans enjoy just as much as the dogs!

🐾 Our weekly Life Skills classes teach you valuable skills to help your dog improve their general behaviours, build focus and connection with you, and develop better manners. Suitable for all ages/abilities of dogs.

🐾 Our Outdoor Life Skills classes are for existing/previous clients to be able to work on their skills outdoors in a 'real life' setting - building on the basics and helping you navigate adolescence!
