Betty Boo

I want to say thank you to my Betty Boo.
There never has been a dog quite like you.
From calm cuddles to ferocious beast,
Our journey was a hell of a ride to say the least.
You helped me see a way in life I never knew was there.
And we overcame your reactivity with love, trust, and care.
Your nose had special powers that was clear to see.
But who knew the hell of a big sister to Axl you would be?
Your passing was sudden and it’s broken my heart.
But you will live on forever through my passion and art.
The bond we had was special and true.
Every day I will smile when I think of you.
So thank you Betty Boo for every moment we had.
The funny, the good, the mad, and the bad.
But most of all, thank you Betty Boo for being there when I needed you the most.
For showing me a love and a bond that tonight I will toast.

NEW: Dogs can now officially review their humans.

Our Canine Feedback System™ allows your dog to rate:
⭐ Timing
⭐ Consistency
⭐ Effort
⭐ Ability to follow simple instructions

Current average score: 2.5/10

Common feedback includes:
• “Repeats cues but doesn’t mean it”
• “Slow with rewards”
• “Easily distracted by phone”
• “says they are doing the training daily but it’s barely once a week”

We’ll be introducing improvement plans for owners shortly.

Scent, Skills & Social
A complete training experience for real dogs

If your dog struggles to focus around distractions, gets overexcited, reactive, needs to sharpen some basic skills & obedience or you are simply looking for a safe, welcoming and fun space to do things with your dog… the this club style class is designed for you.

Scent, Skills & Social is a 2.5 hour structured session combining:

Scent work for calm focus and mental stimulation
Obedience skills you can actually use in real life
Controlled social exposure to build better behaviour around dogs and distractions
Owner discussion breaks to help you truly understand your dog

What makes this different?

Most classes focus on one thing. This class builds the whole dog:

Calm brain → through scent work
Clear communication → through skills
Better choices → through controlled exposure

And just as importantly…You’ll learn why your dog behaves the way they do—and what to do about it.

Built in community

Between training, we pause.

Dogs rest.
Owners chat.
We problem solve real situations together.

Because training isn’t just about what happens in the moment, it’s about what you take away.

Wait for the end! Sound on!

Happy 4th Birthday to Axl!

So keep your eyes peeled for more updates and insights!
