Pooch Academy We are passionate about helping dog owners and their fury friends while building strong bonds!

25/10/2026

🐾❤️ For us, dog training is so much more than just a job, it’s something we genuinely love and feel so passionate about. Every dog we meet, every little breakthrough, every new skill learned, and every moment we see a dog grow in confidence reminds us exactly why we do what we do. Being able to work with dogs every day, understand their individual personalities, help them overcome challenges, and watch them develop into happier, more confident versions of themselves is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. 🐶✨

We believe that every dog deserves patience, understanding, consistency, and the chance to succeed, and we take so much pride in being part of each dog’s journey. No two dogs are the same, and that’s one of the things we love most about what we do! From the little wins that might seem small to others, to those huge milestones that owners have been waiting for, every step forward matters to us. We love building relationships with the dogs we work with, learning how they think, helping them feel safe and understood, and creating strong foundations that can make a real difference to their everyday lives. ❤️

We’re also incredibly passionate about helping owners understand their dogs better, because we know that great training isn’t just about the time spent with us, it’s about building trust, communication, and a bond that lasts a lifetime. Being dog trainers allows us to turn our love for dogs into something meaningful, and we honestly couldn’t imagine anything more rewarding than helping dogs and their families thrive together. 🐕💫

That’s why we’re so proud to be Pooch Academy, sharing the same passion for helping dogs reach their full potential through residential training and dedicated support. We’re excited to continue doing what we love, meeting amazing dogs, celebrating every little victory, and making a positive difference one paw at a time. Because at the end of the day, happy dogs, happy owners, and wagging tails are what it’s all about! 🐾❤️🐶

✨ CAPI’S 4-WEEK RESIDENTIAL ✨

We love and miss this gorgeous girl so much already🥹❤️ Capi has been an absolute pleasure to train over the past 4 weeks, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything she has achieved.

At just 20 weeks old, Capi is leaving her residential with an incredible foundation, including:

Lovely loose lead walking
Auto sits
Fantastic threshold manners around doors and crates
Sit & down stays under distraction
Calm settling in a variety of environments
Lovely off-lead recall
Great neutrality around people, dogs & wildlife
Excellent bed manners
Learning not to mouth
“Leave” & “out” with toys
“Watch”
Finding all positions: here → heel → down → heel
Spin, twist & roll over

And this is just the beginning! 🥰

What we love most is the lovely neutral, thoughtful and confident little dog she is becoming. She has worked so hard throughout her stay, and watching her grow in confidence and understanding has been an absolute pleasure.

We cannot wait to watch Capi continue to progress as she matures and see the amazing young dog she grows into ❤️

Well done, Capi girl you’ve been an absolute superstar! ⭐

🎓🐾 Frodo’s Graduation Day 🐾🎓

After four weeks with us on our residential training programme, Frodo has recently headed home l and we couldn’t be more incredibly proud of him. ❤️

When Frodo first arrived, the world could feel like a very overwhelming place. Dogs, people, movement… pretty much anything that moved could trigger a reaction. But over these past four weeks, we have watched this young boy completely transform.

His progress has been incredible. We’ve seen him learn to make better choices, build confidence, manage his emotions and navigate the world in a completely different way. It has been a true transformation in his behaviour, and one that we are so proud to have been a part of. 🥹

And the most amazing thing? Frodo is only one year old. ❤️

He has already come such a long way, and we genuinely cannot wait to see how much more he develops as he continues to mature, grow in confidence and discover the wonderful dog he is becoming.

Frodo, you have worked so incredibly hard over these four weeks, and you should be so proud of yourself. 🎓🐾

We’re so proud of the dog you’ve grown into, and we can’t wait to watch your journey continue. This is just the beginning. ❤️✨

For My Beautiful Honey

Honey, my beautiful girl,

Today marks one year since we lost you, and my heart still hurts as much as ever.

You were 13 years old when you suddenly became poorly. Losing you the way we did was extremely traumatic and heartbreaking. I never had the chance to prepare myself for losing you.

But I was there with you until the very end.

I held you in my arms and hugged you tightly. Through my tears, I told you it was okay. I told you that you didn’t have to fight anymore, because I didn’t want you to be in pain.

Letting you go was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I wanted to keep you with me forever, but loving you meant putting your peace before my own heart.

I hope you knew how much I loved you. I hope you felt my arms around you and heard my voice telling you it was okay.

Teddy misses you too. After 11 years together, you weren’t just his companion you were his family, just as you were mine.

A year has passed, but I still miss you every single day.

I would give anything for one more cuddle, one more kiss, and just one more day with you.

Run free now, my beautiful Honey. No more pain, no more suffering.

Thank you for 13 precious years of love and memories.

You will always be my girl.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in my heart.

I love you, Honey.
Until we meet again. ❤️

Thursday motivation ❤️

16/09/2026

🐾 Motivation will get you started. Discipline and consistency will get you results.

Some days training will feel easy. Your dog will listen, everything will click, and you’ll feel like all your hard work is paying off.

Other days? It might feel like you’re repeating the same thing over and over again.

But that’s where the real progress happens.

Dog training isn’t about doing one perfect session. It’s about showing up consistently. It’s holding your standards when it would be easier to let things slide. It’s practising the basics, even when you think your dog “already knows it.”

Because every walk, every interaction and every situation is an opportunity to reinforce what you’re teaching.

Small, consistent effort creates big results.

So keep going. Stay patient. Stay disciplined. Trust the process.

The dog you want tomorrow is built by the training you put in today 💙

Teaching your puppy what really matters.

Ensuing they can listen when there are distractions, walk nicely on a lead, come back when called, greet people politely, and behave appropriately around other dogs.

It’s learning impulse control instead of jumping, lunging or grabbing everything in sight.

It’s having the confidence to settle when things are busy.

It’s understanding that not every person or dog they see needs to be greeted.
And it’s having a reliable recall when it really matters.

Good manners don’t just make life easier for you. They give your dog more freedom, because the better they can behave in the real world, the more places and experiences you can safely enjoy together.

Training isn’t about creating a robot. It’s about creating a dog who knows how to navigate everyday life. 🐶🤍

Start early. Be consistent. Practise in the real world.
