This guy hasn't made an appearance for AGES! My little Scampi. He was the whole design idea from my old logo and very much felt the centre of The Woof Hub when I first launched.
He's still loving life and very much the centre of my world even if his face isn't part of the new Total Dog branding. Here is is in the Peaks on Sunday fashioning his Twiggy Tags harness. Only the best for the boy!
Love you Scammy!
You asked and we listened. We're pleased to announce that we now have more socialising classes on offer. These filled up and sold out straight away so I've planned and added more dates and times along with a different location!
We will now also meet at 10:30am on Saturdays on Kilton Golf a course after the 9:00am Fulmar Way meeting. This means you can chose which location you prefer and can swap between the two to really master your training around socialising, impulse control and focus. We can also master long lines and some off lead and recall too.
Please only book one session for your dog. Both would be too much.

Ok. So Bear has what can only be described as love hearts for teefs. This is the most cutest look I think anyone has given us to date.
How many of your dogs have a love heart marking? Show us in comments 👇👇👇

We want to say a MASSIVE thank you to L&O Stitch who have been working with me to FINALLY get us a uniform.
You'll see me out and about now all 'branded up' 😂. Up next the rest of the team are to receive theirs ❤️
Thanks guys. You've done a tremendous job. Highly recommended.
Its feedback like this that really makes my earlier post even more meaningful. Adele and her little dog Luna attended the first socialising class with me on Saturday. Luna was nervous and barked at other dogs however with time, patience and understanding of what made Luna nervous, Adele has felt confident to go out and practice what she learnt with me.
These socialising classes are £10 to join and are very controlled throughout.
If you want to attend one of our socialising classes then follow the link below to simply book online.

I LOVE MY JOB. I never thought I could come back to say that.
Really personal post coming on. I have felt so lost this year. Since Togos left and I was faced with a decision on what to do for the best, it got hard. We'd built up a retail base here and I really didn't want to let anyone down. So on I fired and launched Pipers Pantry. I loved what we'd created and the space did look amazing. But it completely took me away from everything that gave me drive to wake up and come to work every day; you and your dogs.
I put on half a stone. I wasn't exercising (and this has been a contributing factor to me ending up with a bulging disc, sciatica and now neuropathy in my right foot). I was miserable and hated coming to work. I am wholeheartedly passionate about working with others and thrive at my best in a team, a team I've created. I no longer felt like I wanted to do anything other than the bare minimum and I wanted to walk away from it all.
So, I sat in tears with my super special friend and said this is it. From the 19th of July I will close the doors on The Woof Hub. I can't do this anymore. She looked at me open mouthed and said 'WHAT? You cant.' To which I replied 'why can't I?.' But the answer laid right here... because of the dogs I work with and the people I've helped. Her husband looked at me and said 'what is it you don't like? Think about that and change that'. So I did. I hated the shop. And I HATED the brand. I'd fallen completely out of love with all of it.
Total Dog came into vision and all of a sudden I felt some positivity return. I felt like I had a focus again. And my passion came back for everything I love.
I advertised new classes, new training and focused on everything that we had done for the last 3 years and did well; Daycare, Training & Grooming. I LOVE our new brand and I love the the focus I have been able to regain.
It's amazing to say I love my job again. You all keep me going and I am so thankful for that.

Some of you may remember that a few years ago I began my journey to become a Reiki Healing Practitioner which would then lead me onto my Animal Reiki Healing Accreditation offering a unique balance of training through holistic therapies and my hands on positive reinforcement training.
I qualified in Animal Crystal Healing and currently hold that diploma.
I have qualified in Reiki I but as a distance learner as this was all that was available at the time.
However, this route never felt right for me and therefore I am pleased to announce that I have re-registered onto my Reiki I, as in person training in October down in Oxfordshire. I have done a vast amount of research and know that the only route for me is to become accredited through UK Reiki Federation.
I am super excited to work with Rebecca Nichol - Reflexology, Reiki, Indian Head Massage in Banbury and look forward to 'properly' starting my journey into Animal Reiki.
Watch this space ❤️
Super giddy to be announcing this one! Our amazing Nose Drive scent workshop will be starting on Saturday 24th August at 10:15 - 11:15 on Fulmar way in Gateford.
High energy dog who you can't seem to tire? Dog who loves to sniff? This is 100% for you.
We will begin to learn the art of scent, why it's important and how we can incorporate this into your dogs every day life. We will then move on to scent location and getting your dogs to follow a trail. It's a sure find way to tire your dog without the high energy bursts or longer walks.
To book on you can follow this link:
https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=22858524&appointmentType=47200282
It runs for 4 weeks and will train various levels of scent each week.
This wasn't how today was supposed to plan out! For those of you who witnessed me laying on the floor in the pub this morning, thanks for stepping over me 😂
I've been suffering from Sciatica for the last week but yesterday it took a turn for the worst and I've now got pins and needles right up through my groin and down to my toes so after chatting to 111 it was a trip up to hospital to find out what is causing so much pain and weakness.
Fingers crossed I have some answers later on today. I hate hospitals 🥺
Thanks to those of you who came to attend the event today at Lockkeeper Worksop we loved seeing so many of you there along with your floofs. I'm just sorry I had to bail early.
TD-HQ HAS UNIFORM! OMG I've never had a uniform. In the 3 years of running The Woof Hub I never invested in uniform. I don't know why. Still don't. But today... thanks to the AMAZING L&O Stitch we now have a uniform.
I am attending my first event on Sunday as Total Dog at Lockkeeper Worksop with my incredible friend and side kick, Sue. She has really shown up for me this year and I'm so thankful. Without her talking to me for hours and hours and endlessly supporting me while I've cried over this journey, I think wholeheartedly I'd have walked away for good.
See you all on Sunday 😃
Did someone say Puppy Workshop??? I think soooooo!
Starting on Saturday 24th August for 4 weeks we're hosting a puppy workshop! From socialising, growth & development, appropriate play and lead work... we're covering it all!
This workshop is aimed to support you through all aspects of the baby stage and to enhance that experience rather than leave you tearing your hair out! Puppies must be under 6 months of age.
To book your space follow the link below 👇. Just 4 puppies to a workshop to ensure 1:1 and to limit over stimulating and causing stress to your puppies.
https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=22858524&appointmentType=40431633
WE CAN CONFIRM WE'RE ATTENDING PUPFEST!
Although short notice because I was originally busy next weekend, plans have changed and now we will be at Lockkeeper Worksop for their PupFest event!
We've got loads of toys, treats and loads of goodies on offer for you. Who's coming?
EEEEEEEK! First up we're so excited to announce that we'll be back running our group socialising classes. These will be done by myself, Sarah.
These are designed for anyone wanting help with socialising their dog. Gaining attention, focus, lead work and interacting with others as well as their environment. Suitable for everyone.
There will be a maximum of 6 dogs per group. You can book online via this link and attend as many classes as you'd like.
Reactive dog? No problem. Just let me know before hand and I will make contact and issue you a walki-talki for the session so you can gain threshold and get the most from your time with me.
I will introduce other dogs (my own) when the time is right and will ensure correct and positive socialising at all times. We will be using reward based systems including treats, play, fuss and clickers.
Just £10 per dog meeting on Fulmar Way in Gateford.
Who's coming?

😂 Well that was fun!!! NOT! 😂
I 'think' that's Facebook all swapped over. The name request may take a couple of days so I'll just sit on that and wait.
BUT everything else should all be changed now. Our updated new website can be visited here - www.mytotaldog.co.uk go have a nosy and see what you think!
Were on Insta - mytotaldog
Were on TikTok - mytotaldog
Socials will see a complete overhaul and we'll be bringing lots of new content online. Watch this space!
Going into this week I will be promoting and scheduling some new workshops and training sessions. I will also be putting the feelers out about things in the pipeline that I've for up my sleeve.
It's been a real tough year so far. The toughest I've had in business. I just hope that now, I'm back on the right path and can turn the next half of 2024 on its head. It's been very difficult to see the chapter of The Woof Hub come to an end but it feels right and feels like things can be more focused into the future. I won't be the first to rebrand and I won't be the last. I am so excited for what's in store and really hope you guys will be too.
Keep sharing, keep engaging and keep following us! I do a happy dance every time new people join my little community. Every little reaction makes me know that this has all be worthwhile.
Thanks for everything. I love you all loads.

AND JUST LIKE THAT... tomorrow will see the rebranding of The Woof Hub as we've known it for the last 3 years.
It's been one hell of a journey but this feels right and gives the business a streamline brand across all of our services. Total Dog will bring with it a new, streamline branding across all of our services.
We'll be seeing new and exciting things come to daycare along with new holistic training methods, classes and workshops. We are working in partnership with other professionals too which will bring about an entire new look to go with our name too!
I can't thank you enough for your continued support. I know 2024 hasn't started the best for me but with still half a year left to go it's like to flip 2024 on its arse 💪
Yeeee haaaaa
Crikey the excitement now as Monday is rolling round fast. I've a few final tweaks to make to things before I go fully live on here but I'm excited for the future for the first time in a long time.
Today will see the end of Pipers Pantry at The Woof Hub page. I can't wait to close that chapter.
I am still offering retail in the front of our shop, this will just be marketed slightly different going forwards but do still remember us for all your doggy needs!
Question Time: So with the excitement building here. What would you like to see us offer here at Total Dog? Any training that interests you? Anything you want us to do differently? Are you excited about our rebrand? Unsure about what we might still be doing?
Hit us up.
How much is that doggy in the window? Go on, you know you sang it 😂. Yesterday we had a visitor who loved to just watch the world go by sat with the comfort of Pip, our shop mascot! How adorable is she?
The count down continues! 4 days to go. We've got some super things happening and can't wait to announce them. With a new focus on where the business is heading, it's time for this shake up!
YAY.
EEEEEEEK it's time to make this announcement! At 12 noon on Monday all of our socials will make the final leap and change to our new company name!
The Woof Hub will be changing and rebranding to Total Dog AND WE CAN'T WAIT!
We've already been behind the scenes building a new website, joining TikTok and using Instagram in its own right. We can't wait to bring Facebook into the mix now and align with the new look.
We will be announcing new classes and group sessions next week so stay tuned for more information.
We're really excited for these announcements and getting supper giddy to offer new services to you all.
Eeeeek! We're going to be popping out a job advert again real soon! Watch this space as we're looking for new staff members.

Today is National Rescue Day. Show us your rescue's!

Daycare @ The Dog Lodge. This week saw our amazing Sue return to work after a foot operation 12 weeks ago. She has missed all the babies here, and from the welcome she got we think they had all missed her too! It's great to see her return to the team. It's always very quiet without her 😂.
Here we've got little Hugo showing everyone how a high five is done ❤️. To think Sue had never worked with dogs until she joined us here as Sarah's HR Support but she's come so far with learning everything she can about our dogs and their behaviour. She's so keen to learn and we love that.

Had the BEST time on my socialising sessions this morning. They were kick started with a bang with 5 awesome dogs and owners who all came here looking for something different to work on. Sneaky peak here but loads more content to come ❤️
TODAY IS THE DAY! Rebrand is here. I have got lots of amazing announcements to make this week. I am thrilled to be able to get things moving into this new phase of the business. I am riddled with Sciatica at the moment so do bear with me for dates on sessions starting but they're ready to go! 😬😬😬😬😬😬 #rebranding #businessgrowth #bringiton
We wasn't sure Bear had remembered how to get upright for a moment! This big lad comes to us for daycare and is one of the most changed dogs we've had in. When he started he suffered severe separation anxiety but with time, patience and commitment from his family he is now the most calm and collected dog we could have #newfoundlanddog #newfoundland #bigdogs #dog #dogs #doggydaycarelife #doggydaycare #seperationanxiety #mytotaldog
One form of training I absolutely love to work on is threshold training. Laying down safety ground rules around open doors and what is expected and when you have visitors or need to take in a parcel. Having release words so they know when to go out the front door is essential in dog safety. #dogs #dogsafety #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #positivereinforcement #positivereinforcementtraining #threshold #mytotaldog #trainwithus
MASSIVE SALE DOWN AT THE SHOP. Once they're gone they're gone. Please share. We will then be going forward with our rebrand and focus on our 3 main services going forwards; Daycare, Training & Grooming. We will still have a small shop for ordering via a WhatsApp group. Please ask for more details.
WELCOME TO OUR REBRAND! I have been COMPLETELY blown away by the mass of support I have had over the changes here to The Woof Hub. It's been the toughest decision to ever have to make. Admitting you were wrong to go down a particular path and have the courage to turn round and go back has taken me some balls I can tell you that! And again, rebranding hasn't come lightly but Total Dog completely streamlines my future and that of the services we will continue to proudly offer here. The rebrand will take place over the next couple of weeks and by the 1st August we will be going live with the name change. It will be sad to loose The Woof Hub but it no longer feels right to me and no longer streamlines what we do and how we can advertise that we do it. I truly hope you like it ❤️
Good Evening Everyone. As promised, a little update from meeeee ❤️
Don't forget that tomorrow night we're going LIVE at 7pm to discuss the future of The Woof Hub and make some exciting new announcements. Hope to see you all there 👍
It's a baby ❤️ Oh the teeny tiny tummy tickles. Our newest staff member, Sotera (don't worry you'll all get introductions soon!) bought home her amazing new addition last week. Isn't she just gorgeous. Share your puppy photos. We all need some oooos and aaaaas today, don't we? #puppies #puppy #bordercollie #bluemerl #babydawg #puppycuddles #theydontstaylittlelong #teenytiny
Training @ The Dog Lodge. Grant has been super busy out and about over the last couple of months working with an array of clients. He has had some massive wins and we've seen some great graduations. We've now got capacity to take on new clients. YAY! For all your training needs (no matter how big or small) drop us a PM and we're more than happy to discuss them with you. Loose lead walking, aggression, fear, socialising, anxiety, you name it; we work with it. #dogtraining #dogtrainingworld #looselead #dogfear #dogs #positivereinforcementtraining #wecanhelp #trainthem #trainingworks
What a few weeks! But, I'm back, we're back and we've loads to tell you!
Daycare @ The Dog Lodge. This week saw our amazing Sue return to work after a foot operation 12 weeks ago. She has missed all the babies here, and from the welcome she got we think they had all missed her too! It's great to see her return to the team. It's always very quiet without her 😂.

Grooming @The Woof Tub. Is this not the longest tongue you ever did see? Oh we love him! Who remembers Doug the Pug? Every time we see a pug we're reminded of him! Happy Tongue Out Tuesday! #pug #puglife #dougthepug #tonguesout #tongueouttuesdays
Training @ The Dog Lodge - Do you struggle with your dog pulling on a lead? No focus? Interested in everything else but you? Are they reactive while out and you're not really sure why? Grant is out week after week training dogs in our local area. He is epic at what he does. Here is little Sonny at the start of his loose lead walking journey. Sonny is really high energy and has caused his owners no end of issues 🫣 but, he is starting to turn a corner and process what's being asked of him. If you want some help with lead work, drop us a message or reply in comments. We're more than happy to help 😊 #dogwalking #looselead #looseleadwalking #looseleashwalking #looseleadwalkingtraining #training #positivereinforcement #everythingisachievable
Retail @ Pipers Pantry at The Woof Hub. We're open! Eeeeek. Our retail space here at The Woof Hub is excited to be welcoming you all through the door. We've got so much on offer from diets, weighing scales, enrichment, treats (a pic'n'mix station!) to toys, games, beds and harnesses. You're sure to find everything you need here for you and your dog. We've got some great products which aren't sold anywhere else in Worksop either. We're well worth a visit! #shoplocal #allthingsdog #dogshop #dog #dogs #retail #shopping #petshop #naturaltreats #foreveryadvwntire raw #coldpresseddogfood #naturalgoodness #sayhi #dogswelcome
Grooming @ The Woof Tub. We're so proud of Owen and how hard he is training to become a fully fledged Dog Groomer here. He is calm, collected and strives to do the best for your dog while in our care. He takes his training seriously and has been working closely with Alyssia to complete his diploma. Owen is now at the stage where he is competently bathing, blowing, clipping off and booking in clients. Both him and Alyssia work well as a team and will always deliver 5* customer service to our grooming clients.
Retail @ Pipers Pantry at The Woof Hub. Today I have added 64, yes 64 natural treats to the till and priced them all! That was intense I tell you 😂. But another section all ready for you to walk through the door on Saturday. Open day Saturday 4th May 10am until 4pm Can't wait to see you all there.
Yesterday we took in a HUGE order of treats ready for Pipers Pantry at The Woof Hub open day on Saturday 4th May. These will all be displayed on our gorgeous Welsh dresser which will soon become the Pic'N'Mix station. Your dogs will be able to come in and choose their 'sweets' from jars, just like we do in sweets shops! We've a huge selection from Pet Treats Wholesale Ltd and Nova Dog Chews which I'm sure will blow your socks off! Please remember to tap on the name of our shop, hit like and begin to follow Piper's journey as we open the retail side to The Woof Hub. Eeeeeeek.
Training @ The Dog Lodge. This is Odo. Odo has been with us in daycare for quite a while now and has undergone training with both Sarah and Grant during that time. Odo is reactive and has to be managed every step of the way during his home life, walks and interactions with places, people and other dogs. He is muzzle trained and wears an 'I Need Space' vest. Sarah picks Odo up on a Thursday and settles him before travelling him to daycare. This mirrors the training he's doing with his paw'rents. He then waits patiently in the van with some enrichment while the other dogs arrive in daycare. He is sensitive to the bells and noise of others arriving and doesn't set him up well for the day ahead if we just bring him into the early morning hussle and bustle of daycare. He then comes in, garden time and plays with the other dogs for around 15 / 20 minutes with supervision. This gives him the decompression time to allow him to then settle in his own space. Odo struggles to focus on tasks like snuffle games when there is a lot going off but with time, consistency and support at every step of the way Odo gets to enjoy all the same things non reactive dogs do. If you struggle with a reactive dog drop us a message. We'd be sure to help support you on your journey, just like we have Odo.
