“Oh yay… I’m a sacrifice” 😅
Behind every reactive dog success story is a very good stooge dog quietly clocking into work like: ‘this better come with snacks.’

Jokes aside, stooge dogs do an incredibly important job. A good stooge dog helps create safe, controlled training set-ups so reactive dogs can learn without being pushed over threshold.

But being a stooge isn’t just “stick a dog in front and hope for the best.” They should be confident, neutral, appropriately trained for the role, carefully managed, and advocated for at all times. Their welfare matters too 🧡

No stressed dogs. No flooding. No taking one for the team. Just safe, thoughtful training for everyone involved 🐾

🐾 Your dog needs more than enrichment 🐾

Enrichment has become a huge talking point in the dog world, and rightly so. Puzzle toys, scatter feeding games, shredding activities and food enrichment can all be brilliant tools.

But enrichment does not replace physical exercise.

Dogs benefit from movement, fitness, exploration and time in the natural world. Sniffing woodland scents, navigating uneven ground, feeling the wind, moving their bodies and exploring changing environments are all important parts of canine wellbeing.

For many dogs, balance looks like:

🐾 Enrichment → mental and sensory stimulation
🐾 Fulfilment → healthy outlets for instincts, drives and breed tendencies
🐾 Exercise → movement, fitness and time outdoors

A dog can be mentally stimulated and still physically under-exercised.

A dog can be physically exercised and still mentally frustrated.

The goal isn’t simply to tire dogs out : it’s to create dogs that are physically healthy, mentally engaged and genuinely fulfilled 🧡

What is your favourite way to physically exercise your dog?

I enjoy going for walks in nature where they are off lead and able to do dog stuff. I also enjoy running with them and playing tug!

🐾 DAY TRAINING SPACES 🐾

I have some day training spaces coming up in the next few weeks if you’re looking to get your dog booked in!

What is day training?

- Drop off 8.30-9am / Pick up 4.30-5pm

- During their time here we work on lead walking, recall, proper socialisation (calmer interactions with dogs), settling, crate training and breed fulfilment.

- Your dog doesn’t have to be neutered / spayed to join

- Book an adhoc day or a block to save money (payment plans available)

‼️Available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays‼️

🐾 LIFE SKILLS CLASSES 🐾

Our next Life Skills blocks start next week and we only have a handful of spaces remaining!

If you’re looking for more than a basic church hall puppy class, these sessions are designed to help dogs and owners build practical skills for real everyday life 🐶

Over the 6 weeks we’ll focus on:

✔️ Engagement around other dogs
✔️ Loose lead walking and lead manners
✔️ Settling calmly in public spaces
✔️ Confidence in different environments
✔️ Learning to cope with everyday challenges owners actually face

These classes are ideal for dogs who need help focusing around distractions, building confidence, or improving everyday manners in real-world settings.

📍 Puppy Life Skills – 5.30pm–6.15pm
📍 Adult Life Skills – 6.30pm–7.15pm

📅 Starts 20/05

Dates: 20/05 | 27/05 | 03/06 | 10/06 | 17/06 | 24/06

💰 £50 for the full 6-week course

Once these last spaces are gone, the next block won’t be until later in the summer ☀️

Just a little update from me 🧡

Life has been feeling a bit heavy lately, which is why things have been a little quieter than usual on the social media front. Thank you to everyone who’s continued to support, message, and check in - it really is appreciated.🫶🏻

I’ll also be out of office from Friday through to Monday as my sister is getting married this weekend and I’m on bridesmaid duties 🥂💍

I’m spending today and tomorrow working through messages, enquiries, bookings, and admin, but if anything is missed or messages come through after Thursday evening, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible once I’m back to work next week.

Remember and pop in your treat orders!

Thank you all for your patience and understanding, I’m looking forward to getting back to normality next week! 🧡
