Rainbows….. and we braved the cold and went round to the beach this afternoon 🥶

We didn’t manage to get out over the Christmas period due to us being sick 🤧 so it was nice to get out for an hour this afternoon 💛

I will never get bored of having this on our door step….. Sully is now sound asleep 💤

If you have a puppy that struggles to settle, this is for you.

Many puppy “behavior issues” are actually sleep issues.

Puppies need 18–20 hours of sleep per day. When they miss that rest, their nervous system stays overstimulated and self regulation drops.

That often shows up as biting, zoomies, barking, and difficulty focusing.

This is not a training failure.
It is an overtired puppy.

Inside our online Puppy Club, we cover puppy sleep needs, daily structure, and realistic expectations. You also get access to a full community space, so you are never training alone. We would love you to join us.

If it’s snowy and icy ❄️ where you are today, please don’t risk getting injured by heading out unnecessarily…

No dog ever suffered from missing the occasional walk. To help keep your dog happy and fulfilled indoors, I’ve linked 7 enrichment games that you can try…

You’ll find them linked in the comments (as well as in our story). They’re suitable for all dogs, so enjoy, keep them mentally stimulated, and most importantly stay safe and warm!

Take care, Renee 💛

Anyone else relate today 😂Stay safe today if you have snow and ice…. Take care 💛

I forgot to post this one 🙈🙈 how fab is this 😍 we purposely use an adjustable dog walk, not just as it supports running contact training. But because it’s really handy to build up the dogs confidence at their own pace…..

Taking things slower to start, will actually result in more confidence at the end.

Fabulous job 👏👏👏

Leaving a young puppy alone for the first time can feel stressful…especially when the crying starts.

This stage gets misunderstood all the time, and the way it’s handled early can quietly shape what comes next. It’s not about fixing a problem. It’s about not creating one.

Worth watching if you’ve got a young puppy at home. 💛

12-week-old puppies don’t always show tiredness the way you expect......These are the signs I’m watching for when behaviour starts to change.

Don't forget to give this post a save so that you have it to hand, when you need it :)

Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but it can also feel confusing very quickly….

Biting, jumping, barking, zoomies, not settling, pulling on the lead, or worrying about being left alone often show up earlier than expected.

Puppy Club was created to guide you through every stage, not just the first few weeks.

This is a complete puppy training programme that helps you build calm behaviour, confidence, and real world skills from the very beginning, so you are not constantly reacting to problems as they appear.

Alongside the training, you also get access to our private Paws Pack community, where owners share progress, ask questions, and get weekly hints and support to help them stay on track.

Created by an award winning trainer, recognised as Dog Trainer of the Year, Puppy Club gives you clear guidance you can trust, with support you can return to whenever you need it.

One time payment. Lifetime access.
