🌟 LOOK AT ROXY GO! 🌟🐾

This is Roxy the Lurcher, and we couldn’t be more proud of her! 🥹💙

Roxy graduated from our Foundation Agility course back in December 2024… and just look at where she is now! 😍

Since then, Roxy has continued her agility journey, progressing through Intermediate and now onto Advanced Agility! 🏆🐶

And these weaves?! 😍👏 Look at the confidence, focus and understanding she has developed. What started in Foundation has grown into some seriously impressive agility skills!

It’s amazing to watch a dog progress through the levels and see all that hard work, patience and practice pay off. 💙

Roxy, you absolute superstar! 🌟

Barkleys Dog Training Academy are proud to Members of the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter for these very reasons… we simply want to be the best we can be to help you and your dogs in the best way possible. 🐾🐾

Here in the UK, dog behaviour and training is, sadly, unregulated.

The Charter is changing this.

We are setting standards for self-regulation. Every member organisation chooses to be part of this commitment and agrees to uphold the standards we believe all dog guardians should be able to expect. Just as importantly, member organisations agree to be held accountable by the Charter’s independent Oversight Committee if there is an unsatisfactory complaint outcome within their own organisation.

So, what does that mean in practice? Confidence.

For dog guardians it means – CONFIDENCE
🐾 You can use our website to see which organisations are members of The Charter.
🐾 You can then assess your local dog behaviourists and trainers to see if they are a member
🐾 You know that they will put the emotional wellbeing of your dog first
🐾 They have studied, and continue to study, the science and the methodology to give you the best help they possibly can
🐾 If you have concerns, every member organisation has its own complaints process, and you have recourse to the Charter Oversight Committee if you are not satisfied with the outcome.

For members of member organisations, it means – CONFIDENCE
✔️ Your organisation is aiming high. You are qualified within a structure that is preparing for regulation and helping ensure that, when regulation comes, you are recognised for the work you have studied hard to do.
✔️ You are supported and have like-minded professionals from other organisations you can work with, safe in the knowledge that you all work to the same standards
✔️ You don’t have to go and do yet another course to ensure you will be able to continue practising in a regulated environment

For other dog professionals it means – CONFIDENCE
😊 If you are working with members from any of our member organisations, they have knowledge and experience you can rely on
😊 They want to work with you and will only work with you through a vet referral, this is standard practice

We are also immensely proud of our supporting members: organisations and companies that share our mindset and ethics, believe in what we stand for, and stand with us as we continue to push standards forward. We are grateful for their support, belief and encouragement. For more info go to the link in comments.

Top Tip Tuesday❕

31/08/2026

The Bronze Scent Detection Crew were in the stands this weekend, searching and finding their Kong scent tins and vials.

Incredible work by everyone! It’s so awesome to start to see each dog’s individual methods. Jasper goes full speed, Rosa is slow and steady… but they all get the job done!

Amazing work 🐶❤️👊
