🌟 Hello June! 🌟

A new month means lots of exciting things happening at Abby’s Animal Services! 🐾

🐶 Puppy Classes
Our next puppy class starts Thursday 4th June at 7pm, and we have just ONE space remaining!

Designed for puppies under 6 months old, our classes provide the perfect start to life with your new best friend, covering everything from socialisation and confidence building to essential life skills and training.

⚠️ If you miss this course, the next puppy class won’t start until 16th July, so book now to avoid disappointment!

🏃‍♂️ Bi-Weekly Hoopers Classes
We currently have 2 spaces available in our friendly Hoopers group!

Hoopers is a fantastic low-impact dog sport suitable for dogs of all ages, from energetic youngsters to golden oldies. It’s great for building confidence, improving handling skills, and most importantly, having lots of fun together on a Saturday morning!

📩 To book a space or find out more, send us a message or head to the website.

We can’t wait to welcome some new faces this month! ❤️🐾

Week 5 Reactivity Class 🐾

Another fantastic week with our reactivity class dogs and handlers! 🌟

This week we focused on:
✅ Food refusal skills – helping dogs make good choices around distractions.
✅ Pattern games – building confidence, predictability and a positive emotional response around triggers.
✅ Heelwork around the other dogs – developing focus and engagement whilst working in the presence of other dogs.

The progress these teams are making is incredible. Watching both the dogs and their owners grow in confidence each week is exactly why I love running these classes! 💙

Our next 6-week Reactivity Course starts Saturday 8th August at 11:30am.

🐾 Small class sizes
🐾 Force-free, positive methods
🐾 Expert guidance and support throughout
🐾 Suitable for dogs struggling with reactivity around dogs, people or other triggers

Spaces are limited, so get in touch to secure your place! 📩

Apologies for being a little quiet on socials recently! ☀️🐾

I’ve been spending some quality time with family & friends over the bank holiday and enjoying some paddle boarding with my two best friends 🛶💛

I also just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of my lovely customers for being so understanding this week whilst I’ve had to cancel and rearrange a lot of walks, training sessions & classes due to the heat.

I promise these decisions never come lightly as it doesn’t benefit me financially — especially with bills to pay and the current economic climate — but your dogs’ welfare will ALWAYS come first. 🐶❤️

The temperatures we see on weather apps are taken in the shade and don’t reflect how hot it can truly feel for our dogs on pavements, fields and in direct sunlight. Their safety means absolutely everything to me and I would hate for anything to happen to one of them.

So thank you again for your patience, flexibility and kindness whilst I’ve moved things around this week. Your dogs genuinely mean the world to me and I’ll always do my best to keep them safe, happy and cared for 💗

Ps. Look at Jesse’s little toe beans dipping in the water 😭🥹

🎒🐶 Behind the scenes of puppy class prep! 🐶🎒

One of my favourite jobs each month — putting together our puppy packs for a fresh set of puppies and their humans 🥹💛

Every puppy family receives:
✨ Homework booklet
✨ The Dog Trainer School socialisation book
✨ Clicker
✨ Whistle
✨ Abby’s Animal Services approved businesses guide

Including some amazing local recommendations for:
📸 Photographers
🐾 Physiotherapists
🦴 Leads & accessories
🛁 Groomers
…and more!

I wanted our puppy classes to be more than just a weekly session — I want owners to leave feeling fully supported with the right knowledge, tools and trusted recommendations from the very beginning 🐾

Now to get everything packed up ready for our newest little recruits 🥹🐶

🐾 Reactivity Class – Week 2 🐾

This week our humans and dogs officially joined together for the first practical session and everyone did AMAZING 👏💛

Week 2 is all about handler mechanics, helping our dogs feel safe and comfortable knowing other dogs are around them, and building strong foundations before we ask for too much.

This week we focused on:
✨ Pattern behaviours
✨ Calm observation
✨ Settling skills
✨ Learning how our own movements and timing help our dogs succeed

It was so lovely seeing owners start to recognise those little moments where their dogs chose calmness, checked back in, or relaxed just that tiny bit more 🥹

Reactivity training isn’t about “fixing” dogs — it’s about building confidence, communication and trust together 🐶💛

🐶 Fresh set of puppies = the BEST kind of Thursday 🥹💛

Week 1 of puppy class is officially underway and we’ve welcomed the loveliest little group of pups to Abby’s Animal Services!

This week we started working on:
✨ Engagement & focus
✨ Calmness around other puppies
✨ Confidence building
✨ Recall foundations
✨ Lead manners
✨ Settling skills

It’s always amazing watching those first little friendships and confidence boosts happen 🐾

Puppy classes are kept small to ensure every puppy (and owner!) gets plenty of individual support throughout the course.

I absolutely cannot wait to watch these babies grow over the next few weeks 🥹🐶

Our next puppy class starts Thursday 4th June at 7pm. Head to the website to book your spot!

One of the biggest reasons we keep our walks to a maximum of 4 dogs?
🐾 Safer interactions
🐾 More individual attention
🐾 Better training opportunities
🐾 Lower stress levels for dogs

Small groups mean your dog isn’t just ‘walked’ — they’re truly cared for 💛

We worked on so many valuable skills including engagement, retrieves, impulse control and channeling natural instincts into fun, structured games.
