🌞WEATHER/CLASSES UPDATE🌞

Due to the extremely high temperatures still forecast for this Sunday, we have made the decision to cancel all classes on that day for the health and welfare of the dogs.

While we love seeing you and your dogs in action, their wellbeing comes first and this heat is too much for them to work in safely. Member credits will be issued for the cancelled session.

Keep those pups cool, enjoy some shade or an early morning swim, and we’ll see you all soon! 💛

Thank you for understanding!

Hot Weather Warning for Dog Owners 🐶☀️

With high temperatures predicted this week, please take extra care when walking or exercising your dogs. Heat can be deadly for dogs. Missing a walk won’t kill them but heatstroke could!
Know your dogs limits. Different ages and breeds cope differently in hot weather.

🚫 Avoid walking during the hottest parts of the day
✅ Stick to early mornings or late evenings
🔥 Check the pavement temperature with your hand, if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them!

If your dog is slower, more distracted, or seems less responsive it’s likely to be because of the heat. Be patient and understanding.

⚠️ Watch for signs of heat stoke, including:
Excessive panting
Lethargy
Drooling
Vomiting
Wobbliness or confusion

Make sure you know what to do if your dog shows signs of heat stress-
💧Immerse your dog in cool water or pour cool water over them (cool coats are great in the hot weather)
🚰 Make sure they have access to water and shade
🪭 Use fans or air-con to keep them cool
👩‍⚕️Speak to your vet if you have concerns your dog is showing signs of heat exhaustion/ heat stoke.

Their safety and well-being come first. If in doubt, skip the walk! Mental training/enrichment indoors is a great alternative on hot days.

Please stay safe and cool, both two- and four-legged friends! 🐾

Massive well done to Ally & Sonnet on their fantastic 4th place commendation in today’s working gundog test! They put in a brilliant performance, scoring 20, 20, 20, 19, and 10 across the tests (each out of 20) a consistent and impressive effort!

Dora also worked beautifully and was just shy of the top spots but loads of potential shining through, and it’s clear both dogs are only getting better with every outing.

Excited to see what their next competition brings! Onwards and upwards! 🙌 🤩

Huge congratulations to Sadie & Murphy who are our Members of the Week! 🤩
This super duo attended their very first Working Gundog Test this week, and we couldn't be prouder. Taking that first step into the world of working tests takes courage, preparation, and a lot of teamwork and they nailed it! We have seen this partnership grow so much over the last 18 months and it’s a pleasure to see them take on new challenges and we can’t wait to see what they take on next.

A massive shoutout to Emily & Fergus, our well-deserved “Most Improved Team”!
Fergus initially struggled with focus during his gundog work, but Emily didn’t give up and we got creative. By introducing a treat retriever roll into their training, everything started to click! Their progress is a brilliant reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to dog training it’s all about finding what works for your dog and wow has it worked for this pair.

Gold stars all round! ⭐️

Just so you don’t think it’s just been spa trips and wine drinking….today we’ve been put through our paces in torrential downpour, this picture really doesn’t do it justice of how wet it was but the phone stopped working at that point 😂
Top work from all the dogs and endless homework to come away with, now to sit in M6 Friday afternoon traffic to try and get home to dry out!!

A quick morning swim, steam and whirlpool bath before we head out for a full day training……we might be the busiest people in the land but we make sure we do it in style!
