Paws Up Dog Training and I absolutely love our Sunday afternoons at Active Dog Club! We have been focusing on Scurry Dog skills!

This week we looked at shaping the placeboard, stop whistle, sit/stays and ended everything with some retrieves!

Such a fantastic group of dogs and owners - very well done teams ❤

Last week my 4 decided to check out WoodlandWalkies 🥰

Was lovely to have a few hours of peace from the outside world. The woodland is beautiful and perfect to escape to. The gang had lots of fun and can’t wait to return soon!

What I especially love about this video, is how confident little Penny is these days, it’s hard to remember that terrified little girl I collected from the kennels 3 years ago ❤️

Yesterday we met the beautiful Henry 🤩

He has joined us as his mum would like to have a better connection with him and to feel like he is listening to her.

Really lovely first session; we can’t wait to see you again super soon.

We are big hoopers fans here, such a great sport and super low impact so suitable for most dogs.
We train with Martindale Dog Training and can highly recommend!

🐾 Last-minute opportunity! 🐾

We've had one space become available on this week's Introduction to Hoopers course!
If you've been thinking about giving Hoopers a try, now's your chance to join the fun. Suitable for dogs of all breeds and abilities, Hoopers is a fantastic way to build confidence, focus, and teamwork with your dog.

📅 Starts this week

Recently, another dog trainer tried to make me feel bad because I admitted that my dogs fall into the “60% of dogs who only get 6 walks a week” category.

And honestly? Some weeks they only get 5.

When did the number of walks become the measure of whether we’re meeting our dogs’ needs?

Surely what matters is the individual dog in front of us.

What matters is:
🐾 What those walks actually look like
🐾 The opportunities they have to use their natural instincts
🐾 The enrichment they receive
🐾 Their breed-specific outlets
🐾 Their ability to rest and relax
🐾 Their overall quality of life

Not every dog needs the same amount of physical exercise. In fact, for some dogs, more walks isn’t necessarily better.

I know my dogs are happy. I know they’re fulfilled. I know they have their needs met in ways that go far beyond simply counting walks on a calendar.

As dog owners, I think we need to stop comparing ourselves to arbitrary numbers and start looking at the dog in front of us.

I’d love to know your thoughts. Has anyone else ever felt judged for not doing what someone else thinks you “should” be doing with your dog?

Ps do they look unhappy to you?

Oh Little Lottie you melt my heart ❤️

This beautiful girl joined us for her first session today. Lottie was rescued after being tied up and abandoned. In her short life she’s been through so much already, but she’s found the absolute best family now 🥹

We are focusing on helping little Lottie understand that the world doesn’t have to be a scary place, fabulous first session 🥰

We started our new Active Dog Club block this afternoon 🤩

We welcomed a new face to our group and lots of familiar ones.

We spoke about the different kinds of retrieves and how we communicate these to our dogs.

Some really amazing work today!
