🎆 Fireworks can be exciting for us, but they can be very frightening for our pets. If your furry friend is nervous around loud noises, make sure they have a safe, quiet space to retreat to and keep them indoors during displays. 🐾❤️

Look. At. Him!!! He's gorgeous!! 🥰 I've recently started working with this beautiful boy and his lovely owner. Goose's owner wanted some help with his focus around other dogs and building a reliable recall response.

He's absolutely smashed his first couple of sessions and I can't wait to see how he progresses!! Well done guys!! 🙌🏼

🍂NOVEMBER ANNUAL LEAVE🍂

I'll be on annual leave from Monday 9th November until Sunday 15th November.

Much like a lot of small business owners, I can be a bit 'bad' when taking annual leave and not actually give myself time off.... an email here, a social media post there, the list goes on 🫣. I absolutely adore my job but it's important to take a break so I will be completely unavailable during this week to rest and spend time with my family 🥰.

If you have any questions or want to get booked in - do it this week!! 😁🐾

Only 2 places left!!!! ☃️

❄️⛄ NOVEMBER / DECEMBER PUPPY CLASSES!! ⛄❄️

🎄🎁 Give your puppy the gift of good foundations this Christmas! 🎁🎄

Bringing a puppy into your family is exciting, but there's a lot more to raising a happy, well adjusted dog than teaching them to sit! ❤️

My Winter Puppy Course is all about helping you and your puppy develop the skills that make a real difference to everyday life.

✨ Building confidence and focus
✨ Learning to settle and switch off
✨ Developing recall and loose lead walking
✨ Practising impulse control
✨ Building a positive relationship with your puppy
✨ Helping you understand how your puppy learns, so you can continue training at home

We'll be focusing on practical, real life skills because it's not just about what your puppy can do, but how we help them navigate the world around them. 🐶

🎄 WINTER PUPPY COURSE DETAILS 🎄

Venue: Gilcrux Village Hall
Dates: 22/11, 29/11, 06/12, 20/12 and 27/12
Time: 6pm

The course is suitable for puppies who are aged under 20 weeks and fully vaccinated.

📩 Want to join us? Send me a pm/email/WhatsApp to enquire or book your puppy's place.

🐾 Let's build the foundations for a wonderful life together! 🐾
