What an incredible day at our Dog First Aid Course!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this fantastic training day. We were thrilled to see such a great turnout of dedicated dog owners and professionals, all committed to learning potentially life-saving skills for the dogs in their care.

From CPR and choking emergencies to heatstroke, bleeding, seizures, and more, attendees spent the day building confidence and practical knowledge in a supportive, hands-on environment. The enthusiasm, engagement, and willingness to learn throughout the day made it a real pleasure to host.

It's reassuring to know that so many people are now better prepared to help a dog in an emergency situation. Thank you for making the course such a success and for investing your time in becoming safer, more confident dog carers.

We loved meeting you all and can't wait to welcome more of you to future courses! Head to our website to book your place on the next course!

With summer just around the corner, we’re all starting to get our gardens ready for BBQs and spending more time outside ☀️

But don’t forget about your dog too as they probably spend more time in the garden than anyone else!

Our gardens should be somewhere our dogs feel safe, relaxed, and able to just be dogs. Somewhere they can chill in the sun, sniff about, toilet in peace, and enjoy being outside with us.

There are loads of simple things you can do to make your garden more dog friendly:
🌿 Add lavender or other dog-safe plants for sniffy spots
🕳️ Create a digging area or even a sandpit
💧 Get a paddling pool for the warmer days
🌳 Make sure there are shady areas for them to cool off
🎾 Use the garden for enrichment, training, and sniffing games
🚧 And of course, make sure it’s secure

It’s also worth checking your plants, as some common ones like daffodils and tulips can be toxic to dogs.

Your garden doesn’t need to look perfect, your dog definitely won’t care about that. They just want somewhere safe and enjoyable to spend time with you 🐾

If you need help with enrichment ideas or making life with your dog easier this summer, The Dog Coaches are always happy to help 💛

We love seeing progress like this 🙌

Lenny is an 8-year-old lurcher rescue who joined us for one-to-one training before moving into our 6 month + adolescent group classes. When he first started, being around other dogs on lead, especially at a distance or up close could be a real challenge.

Recently, his owner Gabby shared this update:

“Lenny ended up within sniffing distance of another dog… I expected a tantrum, but he listened beautifully and moved past without lunging, barking or whining.”

Even more impressively, Lenny was later able to walk past the same dog at a distance, something that would previously have caused a lot of frustration and reactivity.

Massive credit to Gabby for the work she’s put in and to Lenny for being such a star ⭐

It's National Kids and Pets Day! 👧

Dogs can be a great addition to your family and can help with children's confidence, life skills and get you all out of the house for some fresh air and exercise.

However, all dogs and children need some boundaries and rules in place to keep everyone happy and safe. If you need some support with your dog and kids then please do reach out! We can help come up with a plan together to create that bond your child and dog will never forget. 🐕🧡
