Puppy Fun & Games Claire Hudson, Certified Dog Trainer and Hoopers Instructor
Helping puppies and dogs learn calmly and confidently through fun, reward based training.

I offer 1to1 lessons and small group classes with real life results. My name is Claire, I am a certified and fully insured local Dog Trainer. At Puppy Fun & Games, we offer engaging, reward-based training courses designed to help you and your dog build confidence, strengthen your bond, and enjoy learning together. Whether you're looking for structured puppy classes to set your young dog up for success, one-to-one lessons tailored to your dog's specific needs, or Canine Hoopers training for fun, low-impact agility, there's something for everyone. Our classes are designed for both people and pups to enjoy the sessions and have FUN! It’s scientifically proven that dogs learn faster through play. We train for a fun time, not a long time! Here’s a quick overview of the training courses available at Puppy Fun & Games. Each course is designed to help dogs and owners build confidence through reward-based learning. For full details on each offering, click the links below! Puppy Classes - Give your puppy the best foundation with our six-week training course, designed to boost confidence, build essential skills and create positive experiences. With only four puppies per class, your pup gets plenty of individual attention while learning in a relaxed, friendly environment. Each week, they’ll gain confidence through positive social experiences with other puppies and their owners, helping them develop essential life skills.

1 to 1 Dog Training - If classes are not convenient for you, one to one training offers a flexible and personalised alternative. I provide tailored sessions designed to meet your dog's individual needs and training goals. We can focus on anything that matters to you, from essential skills like loose lead walking, polite greetings, and recall to more specific challenges unique to your pup. Canine Hoopers - Canine Hoopers is a fun, low impact, free flowing agility style sport that is low impact on your dog's joints but high on the fun scale. The sport is accessible for dogs and owners of all ages and fitness levels as it requires distance handling rather than running with your dog.

🎓🐾 Graduation Celebrations for Teddy and Luna 🐾🎓

A big well done to Teddy and Luna who both completed their assessments this weekend. Luna has passed The Dog Trainer School Level 1 Skills and Teddy has passed The Dog Trainer School Level 2 Skills. They worked steadily through their exercises and showed lovely progress across the course.

Treacle was just one paw away from passing her Level 2. She is extremely close and will have that final piece in place very soon.

We missed seeing Rumble this week and hope to have him back in class very soon as he has been a little star throughout the course.

Congratulations to all four teams for their hard work and commitment. It has been great seeing everyone continue to build their skills each week.

If you would like support with your dog’s training, feel free to get in touch. 🐶✨

We popped along to Edition Dogs today and Jaffa was VERY excited to see The Dog Trainer School and the lovely Celia from Canine Choices🧡🍊

We somehow got roped into taking part in a little ‘Drop’ demo 🙈😂 Not going to lie, I was a bit worried, as it has been a challenge and something we’ve been working on, so we gave it a go!

The girl did good! 🥹🧡 So proud of her!

She even managed to come away with a few goodies! 🤣

Stupidly, I took no photos! I had my hands full with an excited Jaffa and, with my dodgy fingers still not right, juggling everything was quite enough! 😂🙈

A lovely day out with my girl! 🧡🍊

🎆 Fireworks Season Is Coming, So Let’s Get Ready Early 🎆

Bonfire Night and Diwali can be stressful for many dogs, so preparing early makes a huge difference. With Diwali running from 6–10 November and Bonfire Night on 5 November, now is the perfect time to get ready.

I’ve been a member of the Pet Remedy Professional Partner programme for several years, because their gentle, natural approach fits perfectly with my own ethics. Professionals pledge never to use methods that cause fear or distress, and that’s exactly how I work.

You can find excellent advice on supporting noise‑sensitive dogs here:
👉 Pet Remedy Noise Phobia Guide: https://petremedy.co.uk/noise-phobia/

I use Pet Remedy products with my own dogs and you can save 25% with my code PFAG25 at petremedy.co.uk.

You’ll also find my Puppy Fun & Games Fireworks Tips card below — simple, practical steps to help your dog feel safe and supported when the bangs begin.
✅ Create cosy safe spaces
✅ Comfort your dog if they ask for it
✅ Walk before dark
✅ Keep greetings calm and short
✅ Use familiar routines to help them settle

If your dog struggles with noise, start preparing now. A little planning goes a long way in helping them feel secure.

Let’s make this fireworks season calmer for everyone. 💛

If you are thinking about joining Puppy Fun and Games, here is a little look at how sessions run. Puppy classes are in the barn where it is calm and comfortable for young pups. Growing Skills is outside in the secure fields so older dogs have space to move and practise real life skills. Most 121 sessions begin in the barn with minimal distractions and then move outdoors when it suits the training.

If you would like to get a sense of what it feels like here, you can read my Google reviews. Owners share their experiences of the barn, the fields and the support they received.

When I am not working with you and your dog, you will usually find me out walking or training my own.

Immy is 11 and steady and gentle, and she is starting to show her age and slowing down. She has patience in abundance

Wozzie is 4 and full of energy and very strong feelings about the world. He hates everyone apart from Immy and she is the one who helps him feel safe

Jaffa is 15 months and very much in the adolescent stage where life is exciting, confusing and occasionally chaotic. She loves everyone and believes every person is a new friend

They remind me every day that dog training is a journey with many stages. Some moments feel easy and connected. Some moments feel frustrating and uncertain. Every dog goes through phases, and every owner feels those ups and downs.

My own dogs teach me patience, humour and compassion, and a huge amount of frustration at times, and they remind me that progress is never lost. It simply grows at its own pace.

So whatever stage you are at with your dog, I have been through it. Whether you are loving them or quietly hating them, you are not alone.

Every small win matters. Every bit of connection is worth holding on to.

🎓 Puppy Class Graduation 🎓

A huge well done to Teddy, Terry and Stella who graduated from their Puppy Course at the weekend. They have been an absolutely lovely little group, arriving each week with waggy optimism and giving their owners plenty to smile about.

Across the weeks they have all grown in confidence, settled beautifully into the training space and shown such steady progress with their foundations. It has been a joy watching them learn, think and enjoy themselves as a team.

Congratulations to this gorgeous trio. They have been a pleasure to teach.

If you are looking for training for your puppy or dog whatever age, for classes or 121 feel free to drop me a WhatsApp and we can find the right option for you. 🐾✨

The Growing Skills class did so well at the weekend, such a lovely group 😍

Here’s my very accurate professionally produced graph of what living with a puppy is like!!!

Good day
Bad day
Bad day
Good day
Ok day
Good day
And so on……

Puppy life is not easy!!!!!!!

Even with all the best advice possible.
Because you are living with a baby animal.

That bites.
That pees and poos where you don’t want them to.
That won’t sleep when you need them to.
And generally can’t/wont listen.

Turning your world upside down.

BUT……

They also bring you lots of pleasure
Times of complete joy
Lots of happiness
Perfect puppy cuddles.
Funny lil quirks that make you smile daily

And it gets even better.

Teething gone, toilet training nailed, sleep pattern sorted.

Then it’s easier….

Not perfect necessarily but easier!!!!

Hang on in there folks.

It’s worth it ❤️
