And we have another youngster from the same gun dog class as Mr O.

Miss P has also been working super hard with her loose lead walking. Check her out!

Well done ladies, this is such an improvement. Fantastic work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕🦮🦮🦮

I just wanted to share Mr O’s video of him accomplishing loose lead heel work. He’s had his struggles like many dogs keeping his nose off the floor. But with lots of hard work and commitment just look at him now.

We are so proud of you and your mum Mr O, keep up the amazing work.

What a ⭐️!

💥EXCITING NEWS💥

Introducing our new socialisation session...

🐾 Chill ‘n’ Chat Sessions 🐾

Not every dog wants to zoom, wrestle, or bounce off the walls—and that’s perfectly okay.

Chill ‘n’ Chat is designed especially for the steady, social souls 🐶
The ones who enjoy the company of other dogs… just without all the chaos.

✨ Perfect for dogs who:
• Prefer calm interactions over rough play
• Like being around other dogs but at their own pace
• Enjoy a sniff, a stroll, and a relaxed atmosphere
• Might feel overwhelmed in high-energy groups

🌿 What to expect:
• Small, carefully matched groups
• Calm, controlled environment
• Plenty of space to move, observe, and socialise gently
• Supportive guidance to help your dog feel comfortable and confident

Because socialising doesn’t have to mean sprinting, bouncing, or non-stop play.
Sometimes, it’s just about being together.

These sessions are for 30 minutes at a cost of £10 for the session.

Chill 'n' Chat will be held on Saturday's at 3:30pm.

All dogs attending must be friendly with other dogs.

Please contact us on 07827 294788 or [email protected] for more information.

💥EXCITING NEWS 💥

We have made some changes to our socialisation sessions.

🐾 Teen Time 🐾

Got a teenage dog who’s full of energy, curiosity… and selective hearing? You’re not alone 😅

Teenage Time is designed for dogs 6 months and older—helping them learn how to socialise, play, and make better choices around other dogs.

✨ Perfect for:
• Adolescent dogs learning the ropes
• Over-friendly greeters
• Dogs who get a bit too excited around others
• Owners who want real-life, practical skills

🎯 In these sessions, we focus on:
• Reliable recalls away from other dogs
• Calm, polite on-lead meet & greets
• Building confidence in a supportive setting
• Teaching dogs how to settle before coming off lead
• Structured play with guidance (so it doesn’t turn into chaos!)

💡 Because being social isn’t just about play—it’s about good manners, self-control, and confidence.

🌿 Small groups, expert guidance, and a safe space for your dog to learn and grow.

These sessions are for 30 minutes at a cost of £10 for the session.

Teen Time will be held on Monday's at 5:30pm and Saturday's at 4pm.

All dogs attending must be friendly with other dogs.

Please contact us on 07827 294788 or [email protected] for more details.

Here’s a photo taken yesterday by our behaviourist Nat and her stooge dog Maui.

Maui assists with many of our behaviour cases and as you can see she’s Mrs Relaxed sending out calm vibes to Stan the man.

Stanley has been working on disengaging to other dogs. He’s now at the stage where he can relax in the presence of most of the L & B stooge dogs.

He’s still working on his impulse control. But he’s improved so so much. He’s made some massive positive strides already.

Keep going Stanley, you are doing a cracking job! 👏🏻💙👏🏻💙👏🏻💙
