🐾 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆, 𝗦𝗲𝘁, 𝗥𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆! 🐾

If you’re looking for a fun way to boost your dog’s obedience, focus, and confidence (without it feeling like school homework)… then Rally Obedience is for you!

Whether you’ve got a clever clogs Collie, a bouncy Spaniel, or a lovable Lab who needs a bit of direction – Rally turns training into a team sport. You’ll follow a course of signs together, practising sits, downs, turns, pauses and more, all while building a brilliant bond.

👀 Think of it like doggy obstacle-course-meets-brain-training, but with praise and tail wags instead of pressure.

✅ Great for improving focus

✅ Suitable for all abilities

✅ Fun and fast-paced (but no running required – promise!)

🎉 Limited spots available, so rally your way to a spot and get booked in now!

Puppy Fear Periods Are Real…

Little Ember has been a bit spooked by a few things this week, the wind rattling the doors, my very animated 6 year old nephew that was just pleased to see her, and a very excitable adolescent dog who really wanted to play.

It’s all part of a normal developmental stage known as a puppy fear period, where things that didn’t bother them yesterday suddenly feel a bit too much today.

These phases are temporary but how we respond makes all the difference. I’ll be helping Ember through this with

✔️ Patience
✔️ Gentle encouragement
✔️ Positive experiences
✔️ Space when she needs it

No pressure, no forcing, just steady support to help her grow into a calm confident adult dog.

If your pup’s suddenly acting a little unsure, don’t panic. It doesn’t mean they’re broken or going backwards. It just means they need your understanding more than ever ❤️

🚧 DIY Diaries at LCA! 🛠️

You know me… I can’t sit still for long 🙈This week I’ve swapped leads for ladders and treats for tools and taken on a little light DIY at LCA (read: I’ve been covered in dust, paint and regret since Monday).

I’ve transformed one of our disused rooms into something very special… and if all goes to plan, I’ll be able to reveal the final result by the end of the weekend! 🎉✨

But for now, here’s a little sneak peek of the ‘before’ 👀

Can you guess what this space is going to become? Drop your guesses in the comments – the more creative, the better 😂👇

🧽 A new training room?
🚿 A luxury doggy spa?
🛏️ My new flat because I basically live here anyway?
🤹‍♀️ A secret agility disco with lasers and karaoke?

Go wild… and stay tuned! The reveal is coming soon…

Stan has had a good few weeks off Scentwork training so this morning I gave him a quick blast around the Scentwork room and he didn’t disappoint. He found all 3 hides even with the distraction of Ember & Charlie in the room. If you are interested in Scentwork whether to compete or just have fun with your dog, we have new courses starting this weekend.

✨ Today Ember turns 5 months old ✨

From the moment I met her, I knew she was something special. She’s cuddly, affectionate, always up for a snuggle, and full of gentle joy, the complete opposite of Stanley… which is exactly what I needed.

It’s funny how the right dog finds you at just the right time. She’s brought a softness to my days, a fresh energy to our home, and a whole lot of love into my life.

Happy 5 months, Ember Rose 🐾
You’re already so deeply woven into the heart of LCA ❤️
