🚨 Public Warning 🚨

Biscuit may look cute and innocent… but the moment her owner leaves the house, she transforms into the Destroyer of Cushions. 🐶💥🛋️

One minute: perfectly fine cushion.
Next minute: fluff explosion across the entire living room like it had snowed indoors. ❄️😂

Biscuit denies all allegations, despite being found sitting proudly in the middle of the stuffing like a tiny fluffy queen of chaos. 👑🐾

To truly understand Biscuit, you must understand the deep, instinctive joy dogs feel when destuffing a cushion, especailly when the fun police are not in the house to hinder the enjoyment!

Bisculit is young dog, this behaviour can often be related to just enjoying the fun and freedom to choose rather than seperation distress when left alone, with a spying camera being installed, the plot may thicken, but initally control and management has begun to deny Biscuit the opportunity to "kill the cushions!" 🐶💥🛋️

Moral of the story: never underestimate a quiet dog and an unattended cushion.

A huge congratulations to Daisy, Rannock, Phoebe, Pudding, and River who all graduated from Puppy Foundation Class last night! 🎓🐾

These clever pups have worked so hard learning the basics, building confidence, and making new friends along the way. We are so proud of how far they’ve all come — from wiggly first introductions to confident little superstars!

Well done to all of the wonderful owners, too, for your patience, consistency, and hard work at home. The journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see these puppies continue to grow and thrive. 💛

Congratulations graduates! 🐶🎉

Maximus the GREATEST! - Handsome Max 🥰 ( he really does have ears - he is too busy smiling to show them!)

At 12 months old, most dogs are in the middle of adolescence, and Max is now busy flexing his newly acquired boy skills!

In short:
Their body is close to adult size, but their brain is still immature—especially for self-control and consistency.

So you may see:

More selective listening or stubbornness
High excitement or distractibility
Occasional return of “puppy-like” behaviour
Testing boundaries, even if training was solid before

This is MAX! A wonderful lad, who just needed the boundaries of life reinforced, while his brain is busy " using the out of office reply!"

This is a normal phase, not bad behaviour—just the brain still finishing its development.

The first brick in the wall is the most important.......
I really wish I had videoed the initial session with Ivy and Archer, both very loving, completely pair-bonded to each other, ready to take on the world!!! (without their owners!!)
The initial session took over one hour to achieve any focus, reduce reactivity to anything that moved, and finally come to appreciate that the person at the end of the lead may be the best thing in the whole wide world!

The emphasis on success lies heavily on the shoulders of owners, to be able to have the skills, time, and patience to put in all the hard work... (without me!)

FIVE weeks later, I could not believe the difference! Focus and attention in abundance!!! Owners who really did put in the hours and hours of training, on separate walks, new environments, lots of play- The results speak for themselves - ZERO barking, lunging, or doggy teamwork- Batman and Robin are no longer the dynamic duo! The first brick in the house is well and truly in place......
I'm so looking forward to adding more bricks, so much more is to come!!

You guys ROCK!!!
Not many people really do stick with the training plan with such dedication and passion- I could not be any prouder!

Meet Suzie 🐾❤️

I think the picture says it all.. the comfort of a 1-2-1 session in her own home!

Suzie is an absolute delight, but her “normal” doggy behaviours were causing concern for her mum..

What us humans consider as “naughty are often “normal” behaviours for a dog to exhibit.

Suzie likes to use her voice a lot! We begin training to appreciate why Susie likes to tell the world about pigeons, noises and people coming into the home, and how to thanks Susie for the information and not to keep barking…

She loves to dig and also guard wonderful items that she finds (well steals!) especially tissues!

After the session, Suzie decided that she deserved a sofa day as her plans had now been foiled! 🤣🐾❤️
