The joys of having multiple dogs! 😂

Anyone else with two or more dogs?
How do you manage walks when some are lazier than others? 😂

🐾 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Meg, Rowlf & Suki! 🤩🎉

These three superstars have completed their Continued Training Course, and what a pleasure it’s been helping them learn and develop their skills! 🐶❤️

Throughout the course, they’ve learned lots of new skills, including target training and distance work, while building on their foundation training. We’ve also introduced distractions into our training exercises to help develop their focus, self-control and impulse control.

They’ve all worked so hard, and I couldn’t be prouder of their progress! 🌟🐾

📣 NEW CONTINUED TRAINING COURSE!

My next Continued Training Course for adolescent and adult dogs commences on Sunday 1st November in Oldland Common! 🐕‍🦺

If you’d like to continue your dog’s training journey, build on their existing skills and help them become more focused and responsive around distractions, get in touch for further information.

I have known Rupert since he was a very young puppy & he has been one of my weekly walking clients for a few years now. You become so attached to dogs that you see on a regular basis & I was gutted to hear that Rupert & his family were relocating to Madrid. I will miss him loads!

It’s lovely to see that he has got the ferry safely and he has already settled into his new home. Looks like he has met a few friends as well.
Stay safe Rupert! Enjoy your new life in a new country!
Thank you for the updates, Abi. I love receiving them!😊

Oh, Cookie! 💕🐾

What was a shy little puppy just a couple of weeks ago is now a bundle of confidence, energy & a whole lot of mischief! 🥰

All credit to her new family for putting so much time and effort into her training. She really is one lucky puppy to have landed in such a perfect home! 🏡❤️

For first-time dog owners, her family is doing such a fantastic job, and it’s lovely to see how much she’s already blossomed.

She’s already one bright Cookie! 🍪✨ (Excuse the pun! 😉)

I can’t wait to see her again in a couple of weeks for some outdoor training and to see how much more she’s progressed! 🐶💗
