A HUGE congratulations to Abigail for passing her (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) qualification 🥳

This year, Ab has worked incredibly hard on her assessment, and her hard work, dedication and passion has paid off!
I couldn’t be prouder to have such a skilled and compassionate trainer on the team ✨

This achievement reflects her commitment to providing the best training and care for every pup (and guardian) she works with 🐶

Well done Ab, here’s to an exciting 2025 💛

If you’re based in Hampshire and you’re looking for expert guidance to help your dog thrive, Ab is ready to help! ✨

As the New Year approaches, and we may begin to set new goals for 2025, here’s a few things to remember:

✨ Of course training has its part to play, but it’s not everything. Remember to enjoy and cherish the time you have with your dog, and try not to get so caught up on their behaviour all of the time. They’re with us for such a short time, let’s make the most 🥰

✨ Dog training progress is not linear, you will have good days, bad days, and everything in between. Your dog is learning, and every dog learns at a different pace. Be sure to take note of and celebrate your small wins, and try not to focus too much on the overarching goal.

✨ Training is only one part of your dog’s behaviour and welfare. In order for your training to be successful, you must also consider factors such as your dog’s health, routine, sleep patterns, learning history, genetics etc. An effective behaviour modification plan accounts for all of the above and more!

If you would like some guidance and support with your 2025 training goals, we’re here to help! We’d love to help you on your training journey with tailored training programs to suit all dogs 🐕

Christmas time is super stimulating for our dogs, and it’s easy for them to become overwhelmed and overstimulated, resulting in many unwanted behaviours 🐶

Be sure to understand what may be triggering for your dog, and remember these can be both good (over-excited by guests) and bad (fear of fireworks) 🎇

To avoid trigger stacking, ensure your pup has plenty of decompression time this Christmas, through good quality sleep, lots of quiet sniffing opportunities and activities that engage their brain! 🧠

Happy Holidays! 🎄

Hope you’re all getting into the festive spirit 🎅🏽

Harley certainly is enjoying her daily advent calendar 🤭

Keep your eyes peeled over the next couple weeks for some top tips on keeping your pups calm during this festive period, as well as some safety tips to be mindful of ❄️

We’ve recently been trying out high quality treats whilst training Harley and with a few of our clients Harley doesn’t know how lucky she is!

As most of our clients know, we sometimes need high-value treats when working with some complex behavioural issues, normal dog treats just don’t cut it!
It’s fantastic for us to know that we can still train effectively with Bella + Duke’s treat range without ever compromising on our dog’s nutrition. We’re absolutely loving the new look and it’s refreshing to have complete trust in a dog food company!

If you’d like to know more about a Bella + Duke diet for your dog, please reach out to us or head over to their website (link in bio). You can also head into your local Pets at Home store to check out their new packaging!

All in for the wellbeing of our dogs 💛

We have some super exciting news to share with you all ✨

As of September 2024, Abigail, our second dog trainer, is officially going to be flying solo and accepting her own clients down in Southampton & Portsmouth 🥳

You’re probably all aware that over the last 12 months, I have been working closely with Ab to teach her the ropes. We have done lots of theory work together, Ab has trained with the IMDT and we have been working with our Southern clients together to build up AB’s experience 🐾

Adding a second trainer to the team was terrifying, and to say it’s been a lot of extra hard work (and travel 🤪) for the both of us would be an understatement 😂 BUT I wouldn’t have taken this plunge if I hadn’t found the perfect person to team up with for this new challenge!
Ab shares all of my values when it comes to our dogs and their training, and that will always be my number one priority.

I am so proud of how hard she has worked this year and I’m honoured to call her my partner ✨ So excited for what this next 6 months will bring for us 😍

Thank you all so much for constantly supporting us throughout everything we chose to do 💛
