🐾 The 2pm Agility class will move to 12pm.

🐾 The 3pm Agility class will join the 11am Agility class.

🐾 Hub Stars and Social Club will not run this week.

👃🐾 A few spaces available in Scentwork Club tomorrow! 🐾👃

With the hot weather set to continue, many of us are having to rethink our usual exercise routines. The good news is that dogs don't always need miles of walking to feel fulfilled!

Scentwork is a fantastic way to tire your dog mentally, build confidence and provide enrichment, all while being much kinder in warmer weather than a long walk or energetic game.

Tomorrow's Scentwork Club will be running earlier at 9:15am instead of 11:30am, and we have a few spaces available.

🐶 Suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities
🕘 Tuesday at 9:15am
📍 The Canine Hub, Oakley

How timely and definately worth a share. This was a blog post I wrote this time last year.

When temperatures soar, skipping the walk isn’t lazy—it’s smart. With the mercury rising to 30°C and beyond, it’s simply not safe to head out for your usual walk. But that doesn’t mean your dog has…

☀️🐾 Attention Monday 1:20pm Pup Starter & Rising Stars Clients 🐾☀️

Due to the hot weather forecast, we have made the decision to delay the start of the Pup Starter and Rising Stars courses due to begin tomorrow (Monday 22nd June) by one week.

Puppies and young dogs can find it much harder to regulate their body temperature than adult dogs, and we feel this is the best decision for their welfare.

📅 New start date: Monday 29th June
📅 Final class: Monday 3rd August
🕐 Class time remains: 1:20pm
Laura will be in touch with all affected clients directly.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us put the welfare of our dogs first. 🐶💛
If you have any questions, please get in touch.

🐾 Client Feedback That Makes Our Day! 🐾

We're so proud of the progress Cooper has made since joining us. ❤️
From building focus and engagement to becoming a calmer, more settled dog, it's been lovely watching his journey. And judging by his smile, we think he enjoys coming to training too! 🐶

A huge thank you to Lisa for taking the time to leave us this wonderful Google review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Cooper has improved so much since first going to The Canine Hub. He is much calmer and focuses on me really well. He loves going there and learning new things as well as cuddles from the trainers."

Thank you for trusting us to be part of Cooper's journey. We're looking forward to seeing what he achieves next!
🐾💛
