ONE whole year of A Piece of Cake Dog Training 🎈🎂🐾

What a year it’s been. Learning how to run a business on the job has definitely come with its highs and lows, plenty of lessons, lots of muddy boots, and somehow surviving the wettest winter known to man ☔️😂

But through it all, we’ve had the absolute privilege of working with so many amazing dogs and owners, and honestly… we’ve loved every minute.

And the cherry on top of this first year? Bringing home our very own Cherry 🍒❤️

A massive thank you to every single client who has supported us, trusted us, recommended us, and stuck with us through the rain, mud, and chaos. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without you.

Who’s ready for year two? 🤪🥂💜🧁🐾

Today’s Gundog Progression workshop with A Piece of Cake Dog Training at was a brilliant morning from start to finish 🐾

Some great work from everybody this morning. We worked on memory retrieves and ended with some drive and walk up exercises. Great job all! 👏👏

🐾 NEW CLASS FORMAT 🐾

At A Piece of Cake Dog Training, we’re making things simpler and more flexible for owners 👏
Instead of fixed courses, we’re moving back to our popular weekly DROP-IN classes — giving you the freedom to train at your own pace while still getting professional support each week.

✨ Wednesdays ✨
🐶 Puppy Class – 6pm
🐕 Adult Dog Class – 7pm

Our classes focus on real-life skills including:
✔ Recall
✔ Loose lead walking
✔ Focus around distractions
✔ Confidence building
✔ Calm behaviour
✔ Everyday manners

We train from Bunsty Dog Field — a secure 1-acre outdoor training space where dogs can learn in a real-life environment with natural distractions, helping to replicate everyday situations like walks in the park and out-and-about adventures 🌿🐾

Perfect for dogs who need ongoing practice, owners with busy schedules, or anyone wanting flexible training without committing to a full course.
Reward-based • Supportive • Real-life training

Smart little terrier alert 🚨🐾

This is Poppet showing everyone exactly how free shaping is done at class today 👏

Using a completely novel item, Poppet started by simply offering one paw on the object, then gradually built confidence and understanding until she was happily standing on it by the end of the session. No luring, no physical prompting just thoughtful choices, observation, and learning through reinforcement 💡

Free shaping is such a valuable training skill because it encourages dogs to:
✨ think independently
✨ problem solve
✨ build confidence with new experiences
✨ become active learners rather than waiting to be guided
In this session we used a clicker to clearly mark the exact moment Poppet made the right choice. That precise communication helps dogs understand which behaviour earned the reward, making learning faster and less frustrating 🐶🎯

Poppet absolutely smashed it today and was a brilliant example of how powerful free shaping can be 🖤🐾

Anyone else giving this a go? Share it with us!
