Games with Gayle is back 🎾

And this time, we’ve made it even easier to fit into your schedule.

Previously run as a 4 week course, Gayle has condensed all four games concepts into two packed 1-hour classes, running over two consecutive Tuesdays.

📅 Tuesday 23rd June
📅 Tuesday 30th June
🕡 6:30pm – 7:30pm
💷 £50 for both sessions

Shorter commitment.
Same brilliant games-based training.
Maximum impact.

If you haven’t met Gayle before, she’s one of our own.
Gayle came through the LCA Dog Trainer Mentorship Programme and has gone on to build her own successful business, Happy Tails Dog Training.

She is:
✔ IMDT Accredited Trainer
✔ Certified Pro Dog Trainer
✔ Specialist in Games Based Training

Games-based training is one of the most effective ways to build:
• Better focus
• Stronger engagement
• Improved recall
• Real-life connection with your dog

Because when training is fun, dogs learn faster and genuinely want to work with you.
This is ideal for owners who want to sharpen their dog’s skills while actually enjoying the process.

If your dog needs reminding that working with you is more exciting than everything else around them… this is the class for you 👀

Spaces are limited and Gayle’s classes always fill quickly.

Out with the boss at 5.30am this morning and already feeling warm. Keep yourselves and your furry pals cool today🥵🐾👍😃

☀️🐶 Hope everyone had a fabulous Bank Holiday with your dogs 🐶☀️

With the next few days forecast to stay extremely warm, it’s important to help keep our dogs safe and comfortable. 🌡️

Remember:
🐾 Walk early morning or later in the evening
🐾 Avoid hot pavements — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws
🐾 Provide plenty of fresh water and shady spots
🐾 Swap walks for enrichment games, sniffing activities, paddling pools, or frozen treats
🐾 Never leave your dog in a car — even for a few minutes
🐾 Watch for signs of heatstroke such as excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or collapse

Not every dog enjoys the heat and some breeds, puppies and senior dogs can struggle much more in warmer temperatures. Sometimes the safest thing you can do is skip the walk altogether. A mentally enriched dog is often far happier than an overheated one!🥵

Stay safe, keep cool and enjoy the sunshine responsibly with your four-legged friends 🐕☀️

🐾✨ Why Intro Grooming Sessions Matter ✨🐾

Introducing your dog to grooming in a calm and positive way can make such a difference. Early grooming sessions help your dog build happy associations with visits to the salon, making each appointment a far more enjoyable experience for both your dog and their groomer. 🛁🐶

Many dogs can feel unsure about being handled, having paws touched, or standing still for brushing and trimming. By preparing them at home with simple confidence-building exercises, you can help set them up for success. 💛

Little training games such as touch and chin rest are so good for helping dogs feel comfortable with handling and building trust. These small skills can make grooming visits smoother, calmer and stress-free. 🎯🐾

Choosing a consent-based groomer who puts your dog’s welfare, comfort and emotional wellbeing first is so important. A groomer who listens to your dog’s body language and works at their pace can make all the difference. 🐕✨

If you’d like help preparing your dog for grooming appointments, get in touch — I’d love to help! 📩🐾

🐾✨ Ozzie had a brilliant session on our weekly walk! He is learning to check in beautifully, stay close and we saw some lovely loose lead walking too. 👏🐕
Even better, Ozzie is starting to switch off from being hyper-vigilant and constantly scanning the environment, instead slowing down and enjoying a relaxing sniffari. 🌿👃🐾 - this is such an important skill for helping dogs feel calmer and happier out on their walks.

So proud of this clever boy and all the progress he is making! 💙😁

If you’d like help turning stressful walks into calm, enjoyable adventures with your dog, get in touch today. 📩🐶

🐾✨ Gryff has made amazing progress! ✨🐾

This clever Collie brain is learning to find the dimmer switch 💡 instead of being hyper-vigilant and scanning the environment all the time 👀🐕. Gryff is discovering that not everything is his business and that walks can be calm, enjoyable adventures with Mum instead of always being “on duty.” 🌿🐾
He has learned to chill out and sniff on walks 👃. Sniffing is such an important natural behaviour and a brilliant way for dogs to decompress and enjoy their surroundings.

Mum said he couldn’t do middle because he was scared going into position through the legs — but with some gentle encouragement and patience, Gryff soon proved her wrong! 👏💛 Sometimes our dogs just need us to believe in them and guide them at their pace.

Watching him relax, make better choices and grow in confidence has been fantastic. Well done Gryff and Mum for all your hard work! ❤️🐶

If your dog struggles to switch off, stay calm on walks, or enjoy the world around them, get in touch — I’d love to help you and your dog build confidence and enjoy happier walks together. 📩🐾

🐾 Meet Arna 🐾

This lovely Basset Hound x Spaniel rescue dog has started her training journey with Happy Tails Dog Training after Mum got in touch for help with recall, reactivity towards certain dogs out on walks, jumping up, and achieving nice loose lead walking. 🐕✨

Arna is a sweet girl and like many rescue dogs, she just needs a little guidance, confidence and support to help her make better choices out and about. 🌿🐾

We’ll be working on building her disengagement skills so she can calmly notice things in the environment without feeling the need to react, alongside creating a strong, reliable recall so Mum can feel more relaxed and confident on walks. 🎾👏
We’ll also be focusing on polite greetings with four paws on the floor and teaching Arna that walking nicely on a loose lead makes adventures far more enjoyable for everyone. 🦮💛

Recall isn’t just about coming back when called — it’s about making YOU the most rewarding and exciting thing in your dog’s world, even around distractions! 💕🐶
Arna made a brilliant start and I can’t wait to see her progress 🌟

If you’re struggling with recall, reactivity, pulling on the lead, jumping up, or general manners, get in touch — I’d love to help you and your dog enjoy calmer, happier walks together. 🐾
