"I was really nervous coming along, but that was so much fun. I really enjoyed it, thank you."

That's exactly what I want to hear from someone coming to my puppy classes!

We had a new batch of puppies in last night, and we all enjoyed it. They got so much out of it, and I'm looking forward to the next 6 weeks watching them grow in confidence and start to settle in.

My next block of puppy classes starts on Wednesday, the 9th of September, and there are plenty of spaces left for anyone with a puppy under the age of 16 weeks.

🐶 **Puppy Social Club – this Saturday!** 🐶

A little reminder that my next Puppy Social Club is this **Saturday at 11.45am in Kingswells**, and I still have some spaces available!

I’d absolutely love to see some new faces there. ❤️ It’s a really lovely, informal session where puppies can meet other friendly dogs, experience new people and have a good run around in a safe, enclosed field – with me there to make sure everyone is having a positive experience.

**Not fully vaccinated yet? You can still come!** 🥰

You can simply hold your puppy during the session, and actually, this is a fantastic way for them to get out and about and start getting used to seeing other people, puppies and dogs without having to walk around on the ground. You can come along, have a chat with other puppy owners and let your puppy take everything in from the safety of your arms.

There’s **no charge for puppies who aren’t fully vaccinated** – just let me know you’re coming so I know to expect you.

For everyone else, there are still spaces available, so if you’ve been thinking about coming along, I’d love to see you! 🐾

📍 Kingsford Field, Run Free
🗓️ Saturday
⏰ 11.45am

Part two of exercise guidelines for puppies - this one is about how much lead walking we should be doing with puppies before the age of 16 weeks. It's not very long at all!

17/08/2026

If you haven't already read Jane Killion's fantastic book on puppies and exercise, here I take a little bit from her book and chat through what her advice is on what we should be doing with our puppies when it comes to walking.

This is part one; tomorrow, I'll talk about part two and how much on lead walking is appropriate.

Another great Puppy Social Club on Saturday! 🐶💛

I’ve got another Puppy Social this Saturday at 11.45am in Kingswells, and there are still spaces available for puppies up to one year old.

These sessions are really informal and relaxed. Your puppy gets the chance to have fun, build confidence around new people and older dogs, and enjoy some safe social time - while I’m on hand throughout to make sure everyone is having a positive experience.

I’m also there to answer any questions you might have about your puppy’s social development, behaviour or interactions with other dogs/people.

If you’d like to come along, head over to my website to book, or get in touch if you have any questions.

I’d love to see you there! 🐾

Editing this reel, I could feel the excitement bubbling up inside me.

This is what puppy classes should look like. For years, I followed what everyone else was doing - standing in front of a class of people and their puppies and imbuing the importance of cue training.

Well, f**k that.

All I got was a room of frustrated puppies who struggled to focus and even more frustrated guardians because they struggled to help their puppies cope in that kind of environment.

So, we don't do that anymore. We spend the first 10 minutes letting the puppies move their bodies. I show people how to use food to communicate with their puppies and get them to do things, the puppies learn to interact with new and exciting objects and build confidence, and they start to realise how wonderful and joyful it is to work with their person.

They can freely interact with other humans and puppies, but the big emphasis is on staying with their human and having fun.

Then we spend the rest of the class teaching skills like Recall, Loose Lead Walking, Drop, Sits for greetings, Settle and to enjoy being groomed.

I don't see any other trainers doing it this way and I hope I inspire other people to come with me on this new journey of teaching a puppy class.

Trust me, it's so much fun, and it's much better for the puppy's development. We're equipping them with the actual skills they need for life; learning to work around distractions, focus on their human even when other exciting things are happening, becoming brave and not worrying about new experiences and when something scary does happen, their human can recognise it and help them out so they're learning to trust and deepen their relationship with their people.

All the good stuff.

I only wish I'd done it sooner 🫶

Puppy teething is painful - we know this, and yet so many people insist on feeding them a diet of hard kibble, which must be so difficult to eat when gums are inflamed and teeth are coming through.

I think a lot of so-called 'picky' eaters are made in this stage, too, as you add more and more toppings to their food to try and encourage them to eat something.

Let's be kinder to our baby dogs and meet them where they're at 🫶
