We have some exciting news to share!
We have known for some time but wanted to wait till we got final confirmation before announcing it.
Thanks to some of our wonderful members (and without us initially knowing) we were nominated for the Local Pet Awards!
We can now share with you that we are in the final, in the category Dog Trainer/Obedience Class Of The Year 2025 for the whole of Scotland!
The lady who phoned to tell us read out some of the nominations and we were in tears at some of the things people said about this happy little volunteer run club. Thank you all so much. You have no idea how much it means to all four Instructors.
The winner in each category is decided by public vote so we will let you know when voting starts. We seem to be up against clubs who are actually businesses so it might be a bit of a David and Goliath situation but at least we made the final!

We are sorry that Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced were all cancelled last night. The majority of people coming to those classes got in touch to say they weren't well with the "lurgy" going round. In addition, two of the four instructors couldn't make it so the decision was made to hold our puppy class only, which didn't involve setting up the mats.
Please be assured that it will be business as usual next week and we hope everyone is feeling better by then.

New donor registrations have been really low recently, and we need to ensure we have enough blood in stock for any dog that needs it 😢

Could you help us to spread the word by sharing this post?

If your dog meets the following criteria, they could become a lifesaving blood donor and help other dogs in need:

🎂 Between 1 and 8 years old
⚖️ Weigh over 25kg
💪 Fit and healthy
🐶 Confident and enjoy meeting new people

Coming to a donation session takes only 45 minutes and each donation can help save up to four other dogs ❤️

Register today to start making a difference!

Please show us the photo you took of your dog in the Barket Valentine Photobooth!

All the Instructors made the decision to leave their dogs at home for the market yesterday (particularly as they are Leonbergers, an Irish Wolfhound and an Alaskan Malamute!). Apart from Eve, who is Laura's assistance dog. This was Eve at the end of the market and I think sums up how Team Waggy Tails was feeling by then!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Barket today and made it such a success. Took some photos as we were starting and it got busier later. All the stallholders seemed happy and so did all the customers. There were some beautiful items for sale so it is quite funny that one of the first things to sell out were packs of buffalo ears!
The Valentine photobooth was amazing and a lot of owners will hopefully have a special photo of their dog on their phone.
The hamper was a success and almost all the items were donated by the stallholders. The winner was chosen by a random online number generator and was actually won by someone who comes to Waggy Tails Advanced class!
It was lovely to see the smiles of people coming off the stage after having a massage - most of the Instructors had one too!
So, thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to making it such a success and we hope to have another one in the Summer. Unfortunately, we were let down by some stallholders but this has been a steep learning curve as it was our first one. Any feedback, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated.
