❤️ Ethical, science-led training

Puppies, Agility, Scentwork, Behaviour, and more.. Hounds & Hooves ltd is a award winning family run business that has been established since 2013 providing dog walking, dog training and private hire walking fields for Dorchester and the surrounding areas. We pride ourselves o

n being a warm and welcoming business-the dogs in our care are treated like our own and many clients go on to become friends. Dog Walking:
Group dog walks take place at our private dog walking fields, with no more than six in a group. Dogs are picked up in professionally crated vans, with air conditioning and transported safely and with care to enjoy socialising and time to enjoy being a dog. Dog Training;
Offering a variety of classes- puppies, teens, scentwork, hoopers, recall and loose lead walking in our purpose built training area. We also offer 1-1 training programmes where we can focus on challenges that you may be experiencing. All training is carried out using positive reinforcment methods and all of our trainers maintain high levels of CPD so that you can be safe in the knowledge that you are getting the best and most up to date training advice. Private walking fields;
Dogs were meant to run and sniff and well just be dogs. But we know its not that simple for everyone and some dogs need space. There is parking within the fields and it surrounded by deer fencing. Inside you will find a variety of exciting and enriching areas that are there for your dog (and you) to enjoy. For further information on prices and availability please either visit the website or give the office a call. We cant wait to meet you. Team H&H.

I cannot wait to look back at these pictures in six weeks time, such tiny little pups! (Well, most of them… Hank the Tank is only 12 weeks old- can you guess which pup he is? 😂)

Such a lovely bunch of puppies, from family pets to future assistance dogs, all have a bright future ahead of them.

We looked at some basic focus exercises, talked about how to socialise effectively and safely, and played on the confidence course.

As always, we had free question time at the end of the first week and we spoke about reducing biting and poo eating, two very common puppy problems!

Well done to Hazel, Louis, Margo, Murphy, Tarka. and Hank ❤️

The paddock has had a haircut and is ready to go! 😍

Please note that if you come to agility hire over the next week there is now a jumping course set up, with contact equipment available to use at the other end of the paddock but not in a sequence.

This is so that classes can have a blast around a steeplechase whilst my classes are covered by lovely Rachel as she gets to know everyone (whilst I have a night off for my birthday!! 🎂)

Also a quick request - if you hire the paddock please try to leave it as you found it. I don’t mind if you move jumps, tweak angles, whatever makes the kit most useful to you, but please try to put things back where you found them. There may be someone coming after you to practice the course that was originally set and they shouldn’t have to use their session to put things back the way they were 😁 thank you!!

I’ll try and do the course plan for what is set up for anyone looking to come and hire over the next week or so, and then after that it will be back to an agility course.

If your perfect puppy is transforming into a terrible teenager, we have what you need.

Terrific Teens classes. Everyone is in the same boat, everyone gets what you’re going through, and the course content is designed to not only cover recall, loose lead and all the essentials, but tailor them to an adolescent dogs brain 🧠

We have classes starting THIS FRIDAY at 11am, and all classes are now on the website until the end of the year!

Graduation day!

Please give a big waggy well done to our Friday puppy and teen classes - Lola and Toby in Puppies, and Chico and Fennel in Teens (we missed you Luca ❤️)

They have worked so hard, today they did some brilliant loose lead walking around each other, learned to roll over, and spoke about how to prevent and deal with jumping up.

This does mean that new classes start NEXT WEEK - puppies is now full, but Terrific Teens has spaces still remaining, more info here: https://houndsandhoovesdogtraining.com/terrific-teens-dog-training/

In fact (you can give me a waggy well done too actually) all puppy and teen classes are on the website until the end of the year!! 🤯🤯🤯 so if you’ve got a new arrival planned you can get booked in now, or if you would like to improve your dogs behaviour over summer, grab a spot on teens.

And as always, any queries about classes or dogs in general, get in touch here:

As I look at my youngest dog and realise she’s a proper, ‘grown up’ spaniel now (are they ever really though…) it’s got me feeling nostalgic.

Show me the earliest photos you have of your dogs.

How old were they? Was it love at first sight? Were you assigned a puppy or did you choose? Rescue? We want to know it all!

And as a gift to you, the H+H dogs, the youngest pictures we could find. In order: Glitch, Bumble, Kyla, Tipsy, and Jin ❤️

Agility people 📢📢

The next two Wednesdays have some new agility workshop style sessions!

Only four people in a class and lovely Rachel’s undivided attention.

Contact troubleshooting for anyone who has all contacts trained but wants to tweak them, improve them, train in a new location.

Jump skills is aimed at G4+ (you don’t have to be that grade yet) so thinking about brushing up on your handling skills as well as the dog - time to crack on with those ketchkers and blinds I think! 😉

The thing I love about UltiMUTT the most is the friendships and long term growth it allows.

Set classes could get your dog listening with doggy distractions - UltiMUTT can get your dog actually relaxing around doggy distractions.

121s could get your dog not reacting and walking past other dogs - UltiMUTT can get your dog making friends and building a social circle.

It’s so special seeing the growth.

Our Vinnie the collie can be quite reactive, but in UltiMUTT he has 3 doggy friends he will happily greet and play with, 2 dogs he can work next door to with no issues, and today he managed to work alongside two other young intact males which is his trickiest scenario.

Huge well done everyone ❤️

Reminder: spaces still available for workshops tomorrow (loose lead and recall) https://houndsandhoovesdogtraining.com/workshops/

Scroll to the end to see Rangers cool down face 😂😂

This weekend is looking cooler and I am soooo looking forward to teaching our recall and loose lead workshops on Sunday.
