Sometimes it’s not a ribbon, a big run, or a perfect score.

Sometimes, it’s a quiet glance from your dog that says, “I’m with you.”
A cleaner, sharper stop after weeks of overshooting.
A softer walk-up when they used to rush.
A moment where for the first time, it all just clicks.

Whether you’ve been trialling for 10 years or are just starting to read stock and work dogs, those moments matter.
They’re easy to miss if you’re only looking for the big wins… but they’re the foundation everything else is built on.

It’s not always glamorous. It’s rarely easy.
But when you notice those little steps forward and give yourself credit for them you start to realise - you and your dog are getting there.

🔔 unexpectedly I’ve had a change to my work schedule this week and can now be available for lessons on Friday if anyone is interested? This isn’t my normal day for training dogs, so it will just be a one off. Feel free to drop me a message 🔔

A space is still available on this course due to one person dropping out. It’s a fantastic opportunity to teach your pet dog how to correctly behave around livestock and it’s happening this Saturday at my venue. Please contact Suffolk Country Dog Training for more info!!

STOCK TRAINING DAY.🐏🐏
This popular training day is back on Saturday the 6th September .Many customers who have completed this training have reported that their dogs have completely ignored sheep whilst walking in the countryside , making their holidays much more enjoyable. This skill is so important that I make it a requirement for my Gold Award. Here’s Rolo with the sheep following him down the road 😂

We have a new puppy course beginning on the 22nd of August @1.30 pm . This 6 week course will help you to create a good foundation in your training journey. We cover basic obedience, confidence building, all using a fun focus approach. Spaces are limited as we like small groups and some have already been allocated. Please message us if you require more information or to organise a visit , we are happy to assist with either.

👀🏠 I’ve been made aware of a registered 15 month old male in need of a fresh start. He’s affectionate, walks on the lead, quite in his kennel and is showing interest in sheep. He would be a project starting from scratch and needs someone understanding and breed knowledgeable to give him a fair chance, probably better suited to a woman. If you’re interested I can put you in contact with the lady who is currently looking after him! 👀🏠

🤗 I always love to hear your feedback 🤗

I often find myself thinking about the dogs I’ve helped in the past, and This boy in particular really pulled on my heart strings so it’s amazing to hear he’s gone on to be a useful farm dog for his owners 🥺😍
