In, on, over and under, with some balance thrown in for good measure. Linda's parkour dogs have been trying out a new course ready to show off at the Letton Hall dog show next month.

An interesting blog by Linda on a subject that is definitely not covered in any training class I've seen.

In this weeks blog I wanted to talk a bit more about grief in dogs, and what we can do to help them navigate it.

"We did all the puppy training, but now..."
We hear this one a lot.

And more often than not, what it actually means is:
✔️ Attended a 5–6 week puppy class
✔️ Learned some basic behaviours
❌ Then life happened... and training quietly stopped

Here’s the thing: puppy class is a brilliant start, but it’s not the finish line.

Training isn’t a box to tick — it’s a relationship to build, a language to keep practising, and a habit that adapts as your dog grows.

Especially through adolescence (yep, dogs have one too), when behaviours change, confidence wobbles, and suddenly your perfect puppy forgets how to sit when you ask — consistency and continued training really matter.

Whether it’s:
🐾 Trick training
🐾 Parkour
🐾 Scent detection
🐾 Rally
🐾 Or just refining the basics —
Ongoing training helps your dog stay focused, confident, and connected to you in a world full of distractions.

So if you’ve just wrapped up puppy class — or even if it’s been a while — consider what’s next. Because a well-behaved adult dog doesn’t just happen by accident.
