Clear your Bank Holiday Monday, the rosette shelf is waiting 🐾

Our Charity Family Fun Dog Show is on Monday 31st August, 10am to 2pm, at Leaps & Bounds School For Hounds Ltd in Bartlow.

There are ten fun classes to enter, £2 a class or three classes for £5, with judging getting under way at 11am. If your dog's talents lie somewhere other than the show ring, there's Have a Go agility, a gundog scurry and Temptation Alley to test even the most obedient nose.

Also on the field: the Leaps & Bounds pop up shop, a Q&A hub for your behaviour and training questions, a raffle, and a lucky dip of treats and toys. Ice creams and refreshments for the two legged attendees.

Every penny raised goes to StreetVet the charity providing free veterinary care to dogs whose owners are experiencing homelessness.

Bring the family and bring the dog. We'll see you there 💙

Seriously! 💩🤢🤮

Does this happen to anybody else? 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Us ladies try so hard to stay glam… manicured nails 💅, fresh hair 💇🏼‍♀️, makeup done 💄… but some days it’s a real challenge!

🐾 *Introducing Our VIP Pick Up, Train & Drop Off Service*

*Train while you work*

Professional dog training, without taking time out of your day.

Life is busy—but your dog’s training doesn’t have to take a back seat.

Our VIP Pick Up, Train & Drop Off Service has been designed for owners who want the very best for their dog while enjoying the convenience of having everything taken care of.

We’ll collect your dog directly from your home, take them out for a structured training walk or dedicated one-to-one training session, and return them home happy, fulfilled and one step closer to becoming the dog you’ve always wanted.

Whether you’re in the office, working from home, or simply have a busy schedule, you can relax knowing your dog is receiving professional, personalised training from one of our experienced trainers.

Each session is individually tailored and may include:

* Loose lead walking
* Reliable recall
* Calm behaviour around distractions
* General obedience and manners
* Confidence building
* Impulse control and self-regulation
* Gundog foundations and field skills
* Puppy education
* Working on any specific challenges you’re experiencing

Unlike a standard dog walk, every outing has a purpose. We use real-life environments to build reliable behaviours that transfer into everyday life, helping your dog develop confidence, focus and better decision-making.

Ideal for:

✔ Busy professionals
✔ Owners working from home
✔ Puppies needing regular guidance
✔ Dogs requiring extra support between classes
✔ Anyone who wants professional training without changing their routine

We’ll even keep you updated on your dog’s progress and provide advice on how you can continue the training at home, ensuring everyone is working towards the same goals.

You focus on your day… we’ll focus on your dog.

Professional. Personal. Convenient.

Contact Leaps & Bounds School for Hounds to discuss a bespoke training plan and let us do the hard work while you enjoy the results.

🐾 *TESTY TEENS*🐾

🐶STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF PLACES LEFT STARTING ON SATURDAY🐶

6-Week Teenage Dog Course

📅 Starting Saturday 4th July
🕝 2:30pm, costing £130.

Has your once-perfect puppy suddenly developed selective hearing? Are they pulling on the lead, jumping all over visitors, ignoring recalls, or helping themselves to food from the kitchen worktops?

Welcome to the wonderful world of adolescence!

Our Testy Teens course is specifically designed for dogs going through that challenging teenage stage, where hormones, excitement and curiosity often seem to take over. This six-week course will help you understand your dog while giving you the practical training and skills needed to guide them through this important stage of development.

During the course we’ll focus on:

🐾 Developing a reliable recall
🐾 Loose lead walking and stopping pulling
🐾 Teaching calm behaviours and helping your dog find their dimmer switch
🐾 Reducing jumping up at people
🐾 Preventing counter surfing and unwanted household behaviours
🐾 Building good manners and everyday life skills
🐾 Establishing clear boundaries and consistency
🐾 Developing impulse control and self-regulation
🐾 If they haven’t already got signs of a “dimmer switch” we will help you to create one, so your dog can learn when it’s time to be excited and when it’s time to relax

Our aim isn’t simply to stop unwanted behaviours—it’s to help you build a calm, well-mannered companion who can make better choices and enjoy life with you both at home and out in the real world.

Whether your teenage dog is cheeky, overexcited, easily distracted or simply testing the boundaries, this course will give you the tools and confidence to navigate adolescence together.

Limited spaces available.
