Following on from yesterday’s enrichment Reel… Did you know our puppy and adult dog training classes get to enjoy enrichment activities as part of their graduation? 🤩

Enrichment is a great way to encourage natural behaviours, build confidence and keep curious minds busy!

We currently have spaces available in our Monday night Puppy Class in Ballyclare, starting 16th November - Visit our website to find out more and book your pup’s place 📲

A little look back at last Saturday at DOG CLUB! 🍂 We made the most of the beautiful autumn weather with a lovely socialisation walk, plenty of running about and some training in the hall too. A great morning all round with all the pups!

Receiving this comment yesterday just made my day 🙏 Thank you so much, Moira, for your lovely feedback.

Understanding the emotions behind a dog’s behaviour is at the heart of what I do. When we understand how a dog is feeling, we can better understand their behaviour and help them move forward.

If you’re finding your dog’s behaviour difficult to understand, remember there’s always more going on beneath the surface.

With the darker evenings upon us, here are a few simple reminders to keep you and your dog safe on walks:

🐶 Use reflective leads, collars or harnesses.

💡 Consider an LED collar or flashing light so your dog can be seen.

🌙 Stick to familiar, well-lit walking routes where possible.

🦮 Keep your dog on lead where visibility is poor.

👀 Stay alert and watch out for other dogs, cyclists and hazards.

🚗 Keep your dog on a short lead near roads. Reduced visibility means drivers may not see them until it’s too late.

Stay safe, stay visible and enjoy your walks together!

And that’s a wrap for our Belfast graduates! 🎓 A huge well done to every dog and their owner. You’ve all worked so hard and should be so proud of how far you’ve come 👏

Remember, graduation isn’t the end of the journey. Keep practising, keep learning and most importantly, keep having fun together!

Congratulations everyone!

It was a pleasure working with you and Zoe, Gina! So lovely to hear how much progress has been made with lead walking, recall and socialisation. Thank you for your kind review and recommendation!

Focus is one of the key skills we work on in our puppy classes. Teaching your puppy to check in with you, even when there are distractions around, helps build engagement, confidence and better everyday manners.

Amber from our Ballyclare puppy class is showing this off perfectly here 👏

🦈 Puppy and adolescent biting is common, but understanding the reasons behind the behaviour is the first step to managing it. Here are some helpful tips on this topic!
