We want the Government to introduce a Pet Care Regulations Bill to mandate licensing for all commercial pet care services, including pet sitters and dog walkers, groomers & trainers, and require welfare training, enhanced DBS checks, public liability insurance and an animal cruelty public register.

I absolutely LOVE when dogs are so excited to get to class. If your dog isnt that motivated please reconsider your Training!

Super proud of these two. Newly promoted.to their new grades and wins for both Bryn grade 4 with Camilla Westmacott and Bramble Grade 6 with Karen Howell. Well done teams!! You've worked super hard and totally deserve it.

Ps it's fair to say Bryn has a "little" crush on Bramble 😂🤣 just as well they are in different heights. 🥹

Why I'm delighted Beryl stuck her toe in my nose!!! 🤣

I wish you could see, I wish I could show you, the tangible changes after the dogs clinical massage treatment with a properly qualified therapist.

Today Beryl had some strains and REALLY didn't want to extend her right shoulder. Jo worked on her while I laid down in front of her nose to reassure her. Couple of minutes later Jo is playing let's reach enough to poke your toe up Mummy's nose 🤣 thanks Jo! 😆

Seriously, this is so far removed from a relaxing "pet" pampering massage. I see tangible changes in stride, back posture weight bearing and yep, sticking a toe up my bloody nose 🙈😆 thanks Phoenix Canine Therapies

"For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and humans have no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity."

Ecclesiastes 3.19

Not particularly religious but love this!

HOOPERS - Dorset - DT9 5LP

We have a couple of spaces for Hoopers on Tuesday mornings and could potentially add a new beginner group. DM Lesley Young or via Dogs Actfully. ADV ACHUKI, CHUK Judge and BK9 Judge.

The two experienced spaces are for dogs who have mastered the basics, or possibly an Agility Crossover dog. Not necessarily aiming for competition but definitely wanting longer sequences. We teach distance handling (no running!!!) But if you prefer to run with your dog that's absolutely fine too 😉

Complete Beginners also possible subject to enough participants.
