What's out there for puppies with Education4Paws?

The first 14 weeks of your puppies life are vital to their development. The decisions you make before puppy even comes home can have a huge impact on what your puppy looks like at 6 months, 1 year and 6 years old.

Sourcing support from a trainer isn't just for 'problem' behaviours, its reassurance, confidence and a sounding board. Investing now will make the world of difference to yourself and your puppy as they grow. I want to be the one to help support you on their new adventure

Get in touch now and let me fill you with confidence that you can tackle anything dog ownership throws at you! Support offered both in person and online.

Whats that I hear? A one off workshop for those who want to have a go and see what scent detection is all about!

Scent detection is a great way to build a strong working relationship and harness your dog's natural abilities. Any dog can take part in scentwork (including my bulldog!) and you will be amazed at the science behind odour detection and how your dog's nose works. In this workshop we will cover some fun exercises to get your dog's nose working and prove to you they are capable of anything!

If you get the bug for it, you can join our next set of scent detection classes to teach your dogs to search pots, bags, chairs, novel items and even vehicles!

🗓Sunday 14th January
⏱10-11:30am
📍Dunham on Trent Village hall
£25 per dog/handler team

Limited spaces so drop me an email at [email protected] to book on!

Important Update on the news today about the XL Bully ban…

By the 31st December 2023 it will be ILLEGAL to
Breed
Sell
Advertise
Rehome
Abandon

From the 1st February 2024
It will be illegal to own an XL Bully unless it is registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs

Owners who wish to keep their dogs will have until the 31st January 2024 to register their dog for exemption

The dog must be neutered and microchipped, muzzled and on a lead at all times in a public place and not in the hands of a minor

The government has guidelines in place for what constitutes an XL Bully (although if you ask me they’re pretty vague!) so if you’re unsure take a look here
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/official-definition-of-an-xl-bully-dog/official-definition-of-an-xl-bully-dog?fbclid=IwAR0KMRTI5xmkM7aVEGPFRs6RFBd1331VcDU-U-EKXTqWR_ddgbdJr0B1Rjs_aem_AfNgyDt3BsdxcwsoAXpg_4rA0QXiZOx9ADMMA4DjSAUZ5hRqii975gPiPjN-5p3KTTY

I am still here to offer support for XL Bully owners. I suspect it may become more difficult for trainers to get insurance to work with these breeds so if you’re looking for support, now is the time to find it.

20% off 121 training packages, 10% off classes and of course my muzzle training package can be found below.

Please don’t bury your head in the sand because this is happening and you need to be proactive for your dog. Help is there so reach out if you’re feeling concerned!

I have a pair of new starters this week! These beautiful pooches are having two walks a week together with a solo walk in between for 6 month old Lyra who needs a little extra training as well as having a higher energy level.

New classes starting at Education4Paws. You may even find me helping out with a few! Get in touch with Alice is you’d like to give any a go 💙

There are lots of exciting changes and plans for Education4Paws over the next few months including loose lead walking, recall and trick training workshops, puppy pre school classes, adult dog training classes, scentwork classes (including scentwork for reactive dogs that can’t cope in group environments) and much more!

I am starting to collate interest for these sessions so if this is something you’d be interested in learning more about as and when they start running then please do get in touch and I can add you to a mailing list. All classes will be held at Dunham on Trent village hall.

🐾 Red and Eric 🐾

I’ve been staying overnight for the week with these two handsome boys. When pets stay at home they are more likely to feel more comfortable while you are away. The familiar environment and routine can help to keep anxiety low. 💙

This little Frenchie had a lovely off-lead walk yesterday. The views were incredible! This route definitely helps to get me fitter but it’s completely worth it.

🐾 Smudge 🐾

I’ve been caring for this handsome chap for the last few days while his pawrents were on holiday. Let’s pretend he didn’t think my phone was food and was just posing for the picture… 💙

From feeding to playing to cleaning litter trays, I’m more than happy to get stuck in and follow your usual routine. Your pets well-being and care is my top priority! But it does help that I get to spend time with your precious pets.

If you need a cat sitter, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We can book a free meet and greet to discuss your cat’s needs.
