Does your dog think everything is more exciting than you?

Time to up your game!

Our Play & Engage Workshop is happening this Saturday, and we're going to explore how to turn play into a powerful training tool.

Chasing, tugging, searching and plenty of fun! Discover what really motivates your dog, build engagement and learn how to use play as a reward in everyday training.

Because training doesn't always have to involve treats!

📅 Saturday 24th October | 2.45pm
📍 St Luke's Church Hall, Cardiff

Happy training!

Got a dog who loves sniffing? Let's put that nose to work!

Our Introduction to Scentwork course starts this Thursday, 22nd October!

Five weeks of sniffing, searching and learning how to find specific scents. Great fun, brilliant mental enrichment and a confidence boost too!

No experience needed, just a dog with a nose and a human ready to have some fun!

Indication training – temptation edition.

Wind, runners and squirrels having a rave party apparently weren’t enough… so I opened a bag of treats and dropped some food around.

Because why make it easy?

3 minutes of indication training. That’s it. A little reminder that training doesn’t always need to be a big session — a few minutes here and there all add up.

Bonus: a very snoozy Flori at the end.

Happy training

Introduction to Scentwork – Week 1

A brilliant start from our new scentwork teams.

Lots of learning, busy noses and some really lovely teamwork from both dogs and humans. Everyone did a fantastic job and we can’t wait to see how they progress over the next few weeks.

Happy training

Puppy Classes – Lead Manners Challenge 🎾🥄🐾

Who said lead manners had to be boring?

Walk together on a loose lead while balancing a tennis ball on a spoon. Drop the ball and you’re out… last team standing wins 😅

A fun way to practise connection, teamwork and lead skills.

Think it looks easy? Grab a spoon, a tennis ball and your dog and give it a go at home 😂

Happy training 🐾

The Scent Detectives are back!

After the summer break, Dougie, Daisy, Scout and Nayla were straight back to work, putting those noses to good use.

Different dogs, different searching styles, same mission: find the hide!

A lovely first session back for our detectives — and it definitely didn’t take them long to remember what they were doing.

Fancy giving scentwork a go with your dog? Have a look at our upcoming scentwork classes and come join the fun.

Happy training!

SCENTWORK SPORTS LIVE: Flori vs The Hide

Gun oil. A dog play area full of doggy or dodgy 🤣 smells. A lawnmower next door. And a handler who completely forgot where she put the hide.

A little wobble along the way, some reassurance from the sidelines… and Flori chose to get back to work and solve the problem herself.

Mission accomplished. Bravissimaaaa Flori!

Would your dog stay on the job… or investigate the doggy smells instead?


Congratulations Team Dexter!
