I have the lovely Compass Canine - Sara Seymour coming to do some movement puzzle workshops for me! 🧩 🐾

What are movement puzzles? 🧩

Learn the foundations of a game that can help your dog with:

Body awareness

Confidence

Independence

Problem Solving

Commitment

And also help you with:

Timing

Observation

Handler mechanics

Movement Puzzles are also great fun, and once you have solid foundations in place there are SO many variations to play with!

You will need plenty of food - drier food is usually easier in my experience. I usually just use kibble - if your dog is small/prone to weight gain you may want to use part of their daily rations if practical. You don't necessarily need 'high value' treats.

Friday 28th November Guest

10-12 (ONLY 1 SPACE LEFT)
12.15-2.15 (6 SPACES)

Raven says - Happy Halloween 🎃🐶

Halloween Dog Training Tips! 🐾👻

Halloween can be a tricky night for our furry friends — lots of noise, costumes, and sweets everywhere!

Here are a few quick tips to keep your pup safe and happy:

🎭 Desensitize Early – Let your dog see costumes and hear doorbells in advance so they stay calm. Pair us with good stuff - people in costumes = tasty (dog safe) food rewards! You could even do some training whilst wearing your costume!

🚪 Manage the Door – Use a lead or baby gate so they don’t dash out when trick-or-treaters arrive. Or pop in a room away from the chaos with some enrichment such as a Kong or natural chew ☺️

🍫 Keep sweets & chocolate Out of Reach – Chocolate and xylitol are toxic to dogs!

🐕 Give Them a Quiet Space – A comfy room with their favorite toys and some enrichment can help reduce stress.

🧡 I’m not a fan of dressing dogs up - but if you do, ensure they are happy with wearing it. Watch their body language, ears back, tails tucked underneath them - signs that they aren’t happy, if they show any of these signs I’d suggest removing the item.
Even things like bandanas can be stressful to some dogs! A Halloween collar might be a better option! 🥰

🚶 Avoid walking after dark 🌚

Let’s make Halloween fun and safe for everyone — tails included! 🎃🐾

📸 Bonus: Share your dog’s Halloween 🎃 pics in the comments! 👇

Thanks to everyone who came to my “tricks & treats” workshop last night 🎃

They were all super 🌟

We looked at the foundations of lots of different tricks - “play dead”, zombie 🧟 crawl, middle, leg weaves & more!

We then had a little look at the Tropic products 🍃 and a look at all the lovely gift sets 😍 As you can see they’re beautiful!

I’m a little behind due to being poorly this week ( TWICE 😣)

I’ll be playing catch up over the next few days and will be back on admin on Monday to get some rescheduled classes into the diary! 🤞🤞

Thank you for being patient 🙏🏻

I recently had a message saying I was “too expensive” 😬

When you book 1:1 sessions with me, you’re not just getting 1 hour of my time…

Let’s break it down 👇

- 1 hour of training & advice (minimum, I often run over to ensure I give as much as I can)
- Time spent sending emails/booking forms, sending extra advice via email/WhatsApp support 📧
- Travel time - sometimes I travel over 30 minutes each way!
- Fuel 🚙
- Notes/training plan - these take a good 20 minutes if not longer, they are tailored to each individual and written for you and your dog!
- CPD - I try my best to regularly complete CPD to keep adding to my current knowledge and to ensure you get the best training outcomes! 🐾
- Insurance
- Memberships - My memberships alone are nearly £40 a month!
- The list goes on!

So when I say the session is X amount of 💰that is NOT my hourly rate! Now work out my hourly rate off of the above… doesn’t sound so great does it? 😅

Plus I haven’t put my prices up for well over 3 years 🤯

So when you tell someone that they’re “too expensive” please think about all what goes into their business.

Think about qualifications, CPD, insurance & EXPERIENCE! (Anyone can call themselves a trainer or behaviourist without ANY of this!) 🤯All of it matters in my opinion.

Jo Bloggs down the road, may be half the price - but are they insured, what qualifications do they have, how experienced are they?

Equally, we all have to start somewhere!

What I will say is, I have no idea that when people get a puppy or even a rescue, why are we not factoring in the price of training that said dog?

Most people are happy spending £1000 plus on a puppy, but spending a few hundred on a good 4 week training plan seems to be a lot?

I really think we should be investing in our dogs so much more, at the end of the day - they are a massive part of our lives and will be for a good 15 years 🤞🐾

Food for thought 🤔
