Widget's Farm

Widget's Farm Run by a qualified animal behaviourist, Widget's Farm is a dedicated pet behaviour, training and rehab centre set in 14 acres in Standerwick.

Widget's Farm is over 14 acres of lovely countryside with ample secure space dedicated to dog training, rehab and secure field hire. Our training approach is to use learning theory to motivate and reward animals for the desired behaviours, and to change their negative view of a situation where one exists. We end up with happy, healthy dogs which learn to cope with stress and make better choices. A

nna, Widget's human, has an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour from Lincoln University, and is a member of a number of professional training and behaviour organisations. She also undertakes regular CPD to ensure Widget's Farm always provides the most up to date science-based training. We are also fully insured and staff are qualified in first aid. Located on the Somerset / Wiltshire border, we cover Frome, Bath, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Shepton Mallet and the surrounding areas.

These are pricey but probably the best slow feeding toy I've bought - it's a cross between a kong and a bowl, quick to fill and in a material which is both soft and robust. Puffin has the XL and I've just noticed there is a deal on at the moment.

Someone naughty is taking advantage of the temporary downstairs bed. Puffin this is for me to keep an eye on Bumble post op, not for you to nestle into. This morning, I woke up with her on my head!

We have one space left on the next puppy class - do get in touch if interested.

A sad face, but his troublesome a**l glands have now been removed with thanks to the wonderful team .

And now we have The Elizabethan Frill of Shame phase - poor Bumble. But we at least have his future William Shakespaw costume sorted for Love's Labrador's Lost.

Stay strong, Bumble - not long now until you have a reliably comfy rear end.

Would this surprise you?

Poor Bumble is off to have his a**l glands removed next week. They're poorly designed and have always been a problem (and they are one of the multitude of his health issues that we can actually fix).

He has to go to a referral vets, most local vets don't do the surgery now, and I've been quoted £5800. Not going to lie, I nearly fell off my chair - thought it would be about 2k. He's insured but that will wipe out his cover for a year. They need to be wearing a balaclava to charge those prices!

This is him, with his support chocolate drop, on hearing the cost.

The "butter wouldn't melt" face of master level mischief maker. A certain person didn't cover himself with glory earlier today at the vets. While waiting for the nurse to glove up, he went from a sit into standing on the high table in one joyeus, fluid move - nearly gave the poor vet nurse a coronary. His justification was that if I wouldn't let him go around to investigate what she was up to, then he just had to go over the top. Anyway, I got my weight training in by lifting the lardy lump back down - he hadn't thought that far ahead.
