My friend Aaron at What a clip in Prudhoe has groomed my dog Indy since she was a baby. He also groomed my previous dog Barney all of his life & I cannot recommend his business highly enough.
If you are looking for a groomer look no further than What a Clip Prudhoe CAPG
His care and love of dogs absolutely comes first and along with his breed knowledge, his business really is the place to go to!
Dogs Life Dog Training supports local businesses!

Your pup is never too old to learn about new things and to work on socialisation.

Socialisation doesn’t just mean dog to dog. It means new sights, new sounds, new smells, new people and new experiences.

Yesterday we needed to head into town to do some shopping. We’ve taken Indy into shops etc many times before but never into much bigger departments stores such as Bainbridges & Fenwicks etc. They’re dog friendly now so we thoughts why not.

She rode in several lifts, walked around a lot of clothing rails and took it all in her stride. Lots of people made a lot of fuss of her (she’s used to strangers saying hi) but the big thing was she saw an escalator for the first time! Wow, that was obviously completely baffling for her……people coming up and down through the floor!!!! We could literally see her thinking what is this voodoo!!!!!
But after seeing several and having lots of positive reinforcement around them I think she figured they were ok!

We always take Indy (if appropriate) with us to experience new things and it just goes to show at 6 and a half years old there’s still things for her to get her head around.

Positive reinforcement around these new experiences is super important and can make or break the whole event. This, along with a relaxed and confident human shows pups they’ve got nothing to be afraid of.

Another 2 gorgeous puppies graduated from the Dogs Life puppy school tonight. Both of these pups are just gorgeous and their humans have worked super hard and are seeing fantastic results with their training. Looking forward to continuing their journey with them in January for our Follow on Teen Pups course. All the best everyone!

It was graduation night tonight for the gorgeous Pupstars. They’ve all learned heaps (pups and humans alike) over the past 6 weeks and I’m so proud of them and it’s all through positive reinforcement and play. Well done and hope to see you in January to start the next leg of your little journey with my Teen Pups Follow On course.
It was also a super important graduation night for 2 other pups on my Teen Pups Follow On course who both managed to achieve their IMDT grade 1 rosette. Super super congratulations to Ethel with the beautiful Amber and Steve with the super gorgeous Rose.
Congratulations to everyone tonight.

Lovely word or two from Roger and the beautiful Chilli pup who just graduated from Pupstars puppy school yesterday.

“I was intending to drop you a line, to say how much Chilli and I have learned from your Training Classes over the last 8 weeks. You have that rare gift of imparting knowledge in an authoritative yet friendly manner. That made the one hour sessions invaluable for trainees and pups, and the time just skipped by.
So thanks again for all you managed to instil in us (although I do recognise that learning is probably a never ending process).
Keep up the good work.
With kind regards,
Roger”

Another class of Pupstars graduated tonight. This time it was the turn of the Wednesday night crew. They’ve all been super fantastic over the past 8 weeks and I’ve loved every minute of helping them along on their puppy progress journey.

We did lots of fun sit games at Wednesday puppy school last night. Sit can sometimes be a seriously underrated skill but getting your pup to become a sitting ninja is super useful for everything from keeping your dog safe when out and about to teaching them a polite way to greet. You can also see some awesome pups rockin downs and settle! What a clever lot!

🧑‍🎓 👏
Graduation night last night for the Tuesday Pupstars…..this gorgeous lot have all worked so hard (pups and humans alike) over the last 8 weeks and I’m utterly proud of them all. Here’s looking forward to the follow up Teen Pups course starting in 2 weeks. Well done everyone!

To any new puppy owners : Don’t miss out!

Puppy classes aren’t just about learning new skills. They’re about socialising your dog, not just with other pups but to people, sounds, sights, smells and all sorts of new experiences.
Classes are deliberately kept small so please do not wait to sign up or you might be disappointed.

Ahhh this gorgeous lot❤️
Just look at them all rockin settle training.
