A few tricks, plenty of treats and even a little pumpkin at the paddock today! 🎃 👻

A busy Halloween Saturday with our latest Puppy School graduates, alongside a full day of 1–1 lessons.

Different dogs, different personalities and plenty to work on! From building confidence and learning to focus around distractions, to improving lead walking and everyday manners.

A few of today’s faces! Well done to everyone who joined us.

What was your dog’s biggest win today?

Before the storm rolls in, here are just some of this month’s fab Puppy Schoolers! 🐾

A chilly morning packed with fun, games and learning as we worked on our Stay and Leave It skills.

Through practical challenges, the puppies practised patience, self-control and making good choices around distractions — all important skills for everyday life!

Just look at those faces!

Stay safe everyone ☔️

With the days getting shorter and wetter, I’m putting more focus on quality over quantity when it comes to exercising the dogs!

A few simple games with Ammy and Tilly in the field are a great way to work on:

* Memory & problem-solving – finding their toys from a distance.
* Focus & patience – waiting while the other dog works.
* Impulse control – resisting the urge to chase.
* Listening skills – responding to individual cues.
* Teamwork – retrieving and bringing toys back to hand.

Plenty of physical exercise, plenty of mental stimulation, (plenty of unaware training) and two happy Labradors!

A lovely afternoon at Rabbit Rock Field catching up with friends and letting the dogs enjoy themselves!

Spending time with familiar, well-matched dogs can be a wonderful way to build positive social experiences, confidence and friendships.

And having those friendships means we can mix things up! Some days it’s all about romping and playing, while others we can enjoy calmer, more structured adventures together.

It’s been a bright and sunny day at the paddock with lots of fun and learning!

🌧️ A reminder about our poor weather policy!

We’re certainly not fair-weather dog walkers! But when it comes to training, there are a few more things to consider.

As we head towards the colder, wetter months, there may be occasions when we need to postpone lessons.

We carefully assess the weather conditions, including temperature, wind and rain, while considering each dog’s breed, age, size and health.

After all, there’s a big difference between having a brilliant time splashing through puddles and trying to concentrate on learning something new! And if your dog particularly struggles with cold, wind or rain, please let me know.

The good news? You’ll never lose out.

🐾 Any postponed lessons are simply rolled over at no extra cost.

🐾 You’ll have training guides and video tutorials to keep you busy.

🐾 And I’m always happy to answer questions or offer support between sessions.

We also aim to make these decisions with plenty of notice, usually around two hours beforehand, so nobody has an unnecessary journey.

Sometimes the weather improves after we’ve made that call. That’s Scottish weather for you!

Ultimately, I’d much rather you and your dog enjoy your lesson, feel you’ve achieved something and leave looking forward to the next one.

We’re not here to battle the elements. We’re here to help dogs and their people learn, grow and have fun together! 🧡

Work with your teenager — don’t fight against them.

The foundations are there. Now’s the time to use them.

Practice the things they know, keep it interesting, have plenty of fun and don’t panic when it isn’t perfect. Consistency now builds skills that last a lifetime.

You’ve got this — and so have they.

Our Teen Skills Club (formerly Puppy Plus) waiting list is now open!

Dates TBA: 6–12 months • Saturdays 11:15am • £80 for 4 weeks

🎉 HUGE NEWS — IT’S OFFICIAL! 🎉

I’m incredibly proud to share that I have achieved ABTC Animal Training Instructor status!

This is a huge milestone for me and JP Dog Training, and something I’m immensely proud to have worked towards.

In a nutshell, it means my knowledge, practical skills, welfare standards and approach to training have been independently and rigorously assessed against the highest professional standards.

A massive thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey — especially the clients and dogs involved in case studies, assessments and videos — and to the wider JP Dog Training community for all the support along the way.

This is because of all of you and for all of you! 🙏

Not much changes day to day…

Same training. Same fun.

Just one very proud business owner tonight.

A surprising amount of training hiding in a mission to get the ball 😂

Wait means wait — even when somebody else gets to go.
Name tells you whose turn it is.
Chickens and geese are just part of the furniture.
Grab the ball and come back.

I’m not sure whose braver the dogs or the geese 😂
