Some beautiful searching in week 3 of the current UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze course where the dogs were learning how to search chairs.

It was clear that everyone had been doing their homework as the dogs were showing a real understanding of what they were searching for.

And I’m so proud of all of the dogs in Scent Club this week! They were all switched on, engaged, and did some fabulous work when we tried out this month’s UK Sniffer Dogs challenge.

❤️🥳🐾

One week to go and I cannot wait to get back to training! 🎉

A quick heads-up on spaces: scent work courses are currently full for new-to-scentwork dogs, but Scent Club has availability.

If you or your dog have already completed a UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze workshop or course, with myself or another trainer, you’re very welcome to come along. Book your spot via the website.

I’ll be at Crufts this Sunday helping out on the UK Sniffer Dogs stand.

If you’re visiting the show, do pop over and say hello — it would be lovely to meet some of you in person and chat all things scent work 🐾

Whether you’re already doing scent work or just curious about getting started, come and have a chat!

🚨🐶 Lungworm Alert

We’ve recently seen a confirmed case of lungworm at the practice. With the ongoing rain, slugs and snails are more active than ever, creating ideal conditions for lungworm to spread.

Lungworm is transmitted when dogs come into contact with slugs, snails or their trails, even accidentally, while sniffing, playing or drinking from puddles and outdoor water sources.

Clinical signs to look out for:
Symptoms can be mild, vague or serious. Keep an eye out for:
🐾 Coughing or breathing difficulties
🐾 Low energy or unusual tiredness
🐾 Reduced appetite or weight loss
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🐾 Excessive bruising or bleeding (lungworm can affect clotting)
🐾 Behaviour changes such as restlessness or depression

Not all wormers protect against lungworm. If you’re unsure whether your dog is covered, our team can help you choose the right preventative plan.

Let’s keep our pets safe this rainy season 💙

I’m so excited to share that I’ve now passed my assessment and become a Gold UK Sniffer Dogs Instructor! 🥇🐶

This isn’t just about me though – it’s about all the amazing dogs and owners who’ve joined me on their scent work journeys so far. Watching your dogs grow in confidence, focus and joy has been the best part of the process, and I wouldn’t be here without you.

Becoming a Gold Instructor means I can now bring even more opportunities for you and your dogs to enjoy scent work together here in Mid Sussex.

When my classes start back in the Spring, I’ll be adding Gold level exercises into Scent Club – things like water searches, people searches and more retrieve work. I can’t wait to see your dogs rise to the challenge!

🌟 Hassocks Goes Gold 🌟

Every September, Hassocks is decorated with giant golden bows to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research in memory of Pearl Dixie Bartlett-Bundy 💛. The bows are sponsored by local businesses and individuals, turning the village into a golden trail to explore.

This year Field for Dogs and Sussex Canines are proud to be sponsoring a bow again – and today I took the girls out to find ours! We’re number 45 on the trail 🎀🐾

If you’re nearby, have a wander and see how many bows you can spot – it’s a lovely way to explore while supporting such an important cause.

🐾 That’s a wrap on training for 2025! 🐾

As the days get shorter, the weather gets wetter and my joints start to creak a little louder, I’m officially heading into hibernation mode for the winter. 🌧️❄️🐻

Thank you to everyone who joined me with their dogs this year – it’s been brilliant watching you all progress together. ❤️

I’ll be back, fresh and ready, when the days get longer in Spring 2026. Until then, enjoy your winter walks, keep training ticking along and give your dogs an extra cuddle from me. 🐶💤

Today I picked up some frozen bone broth treats for the girls to enjoy as a cooling afternoon snack.

They both found them a bit challenging to eat in the bowls, which was a bonus as it meant they took their time to lick them rather than swallowing them whole!

They are both now having a snooze after all that hard work 🤣

(Yes, that’s a bed outside so the dogs can sunbathe in comfort. No, we don’t let them lie out there at the hottest parts of the day.)

Get a free Pocket PowerBall Fauxtastic when you buy 2 full priced Tug-E-Nuff toys!!

I am a fan of all of the bungee range in particular, especially if your dog is a strong tugger as the elastic makes play kinder on both yours and your dog’s bodies.
