Recall Training Workshop – Build a Rock-Solid Come When Called!

Does your dog ignore you at the park? Chase distractions? Take their time coming back? Let’s fix that!

Join us for a Recall Training Workshop designed to help you build a fast, reliable recall — even around distractions. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog who “selectively listens,” this workshop will give you practical tools that actually work.

🎯 What you’ll learn:
✔️ The foundations of a strong recall
✔️ How to motivate your dog to choose YOU
✔️ Games that make coming back fun
✔️ How to proof recall around real-life distractions
✔️ Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

Suitable for dogs of all ages
Only 6 dogs per workshop

MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH DATES

Let’s turn “Come!” into your dog’s favorite word 💛

🐾 YOU ASKED… SO WE’RE MAKING IT HAPPEN! 🐾

We’ve had lots of questions about offering structured socialisation sessions for puppies and we’re excited to say YES!

But here’s the important bit…

❌ Socialisation isn’t about letting a group of puppies loose together and hoping for the best!

Whilst it’s fantastic for puppies to interact with other dogs, a free-for-all can sometimes create unwanted behaviours, overwhelm puppies or teach them the wrong lessons.

Because good socialisation isn’t just about playing — it’s about learning how to be around other dogs appropriately. That’s why our 2-hour structured socialisation session will be carefully managed by our qualified trainers.

🐕 Your puppy will have opportunities to interact and learn
👀 Our trainers will closely monitor behaviour and body language
🧠 We’ll explain what’s happening and why
💡 You’ll receive practical tips and guidance to support your puppy
🎓 We’ll also work on some useful skills along the way
☕ There will be regular breaks so puppies can rest, process and reset

The aim is to create a safe, positive and educational environment where both puppies AND owners learn how to make socialisation a really positive experience.

💷 £35 per puppy
⏰ 2-hour session
🐾 Structured, supervised and educational

Spaces will be limited to ensure we can give every puppy the attention and support they need.
