🐶 September bookings are now open!

If you're getting a puppy this autumn, now is a great time to start thinking about training.

Our face-to-face classes are designed to give you the skills and confidence to enjoy life with your dog, while helping your puppy build great foundations from the very beginning. We keep our classes small, so there's plenty of time for individual support, and every puppy course includes access to our Puppy Portal for extra help at home.

Take a look at the pic below for our September courses and October workshops.

Unfortunately, I have had to postpone this Wednesday's classes.

The latest forecast is showing 31°C at 6pm, which is simply too hot for dogs to work safely. I know it's frustrating (believe me, it is for me too), but their welfare always has to come first.

All Wednesday classes will move back by one week, so everyone's final class will now be on Wednesday 9th September.

I've contacted everyone by email with the details.

Fingers crossed the weather settles down soon so we can get back to normal! 🐾

👏 Well done to our Thursday Intermediate class, who completed their Level 2 course this week!

Over the last few weeks, you’ve learned lots of new skills and taken the skills learnt in your earlier classes and started using them around more distractions and in more challenging exercises.

You’ve all worked really hard, and it’s been lovely to see the progress you and your dogs have made together.

We hope to see you again on our Level 3 Graduate course:

🎉 That's another Puppy course complete!

A huge well done to our Thursday Puppy class, who graduated this week. It's been a pleasure getting to know you all and watching your puppies learn so many new skills over the last few weeks. 🥰🐾

We hope you've enjoyed the course as much as we've enjoyed teaching it. Keep practising, keep having fun, and remember that training is a journey, not a destination.

If you're ready for the next step, we'd love to see you on our Level 2 course:

📢 Just a quick update for everyone.

Many of you will know that we regularly recommend @ Sarah Edge Chartered Physiotherapist and ACPAT Physiotherapist, when we feel a dog would benefit from a physiotherapy assessment and/or treatment.

Sarah has recently changed the name of her business to Peak Edge Canine Rehabilitation. It's still the same Sarah and still the same excellent service.

As many of you know, pain and behaviour often go hand in hand, which is why we sometimes recommend a physiotherapy assessment before or alongside behaviour work.

Congratulations, Sarah, on your new branding. We wish Peak Edge Canine Rehabilitation every success! 🐾
