Professional, friendly and fun dog training for all with a experienced dog trainer MAPDT01487

We have a couple of spaces still available on the Big Cheese Hunt next Sunday.
This will be a mixture of scent work (to find the tube with the cheese/sausage/treats in) and parkour. Don't worry if your dog has mobility challenges - we can change the course to suit each dog.
This is suitable for dogs that need space from others as each dog works one at a time.
This will be great fun for you and your dog - and even better we can give you all the tips and training for how to set up something like this at home. A great way to entertain your dog on wet days or dark evenings.
So don't miss this opportunity to learn a new skill to help keep the winter blues away.
Follow the link below to book your space
A fun workshop where we will have a go at finding the tube with the cheese/other treats in. The dogs do not have full contact with the cheese so have to use their nose to find it and let you know where it is anyway they like.This will involve climbing on/around/over/through various obstacles which

Not the most exciting thing to post about but this is very exciting to me personally.

So to help both you wonderful people, and myself - change is happening...... Over the next few months there will be new things popping up, some things will be different but overall this will make things a lot more efficient without loosing the personal touch.
The first change is I have a new contact number - 07886110652

Today was mental health awareness day and I saw/read lots of moving and meaningful stories from people today.
The overwhelming message I got was Be Kind.
Be Kind to others - you never know what type of day they are having - be the person who makes their day better in some small way
Be Kind to your friends - a smile might be a mask - be the person they feel safe to take off the mask with
Be Kind to your colleagues - in any type of job stress can bring out the worse - be the person who helps lighten the load
Be Kind to your community - be the person who lifts others up and help them be kind to the next person
But most importantly
Be Kind to yourself - you are enough
If anyone in my community is struggling please reach out to me, a friend, family member or one of the wonderful support groups out there. You are not alone and the world is a better place for you being in it.

Hi. Here is a little bit more information about me and about why I love dog training and Hoopers so much.
I have grown up around animals, in particular dogs of all shapes and sizes. Being a farmer we have had dogs that worked on the farm, but these have always been members of the family. I have since taken over the running of the farm and have just a few dogs to keep me company.
I started training seriously when I got Zoe the lurcher 9 years ago, I promised that I would take her to puppy classes and it just went on from there; we slowly progressed to competitive obedience and agility (lurchers are not the easiest to train and Zoe is very feel spirited!). I started training obedience at that club, and still do to this day. However, one day Zoe refused to jump at an agility show, she then refused to jump at training and just lost all interest in agility despite not showing any signs of injury or illness. So we went along to a hoopers day, and just like that my happy zoomy Zoe was back. I immediately asked to train to be a hoopers instructor.
The reason why I love hoopers so much is because it is such an welcoming and inclusive activity. We only use positive reward based training, encouraging independence and building confidence. I have watched as nervous dogs have slowly moved from behind owners legs to running through hoops on their own, tails held high. It is low impact, there is no sharp turns or jumps so young puppies and old dogs can be included in the fun, I train dogs that have back and leg problems and provided the vet says it is ok they can join in with the younger fast dogs. It is welcoming to space dogs (also known as reactive dogs), dogs that can struggle in groups with other dogs are given the space and time needed to be able to focus on the game. Even at shows we make space for each other. There is also the unbelievably nice Good Hoopers Awards which we work towards in classes.
I have since gone on to become a Canine Hoopers UK advanced instructor so I could keep moving my students forward. I am an experienced judge and travel the country to help with CHUK shows. I also find time to compete with Zoe and Bolt (aka. big dog - the biggest collie I’ve ever seen), we qualified for the National Finals and Zoe can 3rd in Veteran and more recently attended Tri-Score. Tri-Score was a three day CHUK event with international judges and top level courses, Bolt got placed in all four runs on one of the days and Zoe got clears in every one of the 11 courses she ran, we got into every final and the teams we were part of came 5th and an incredible 2nd place. More recently I’ve found the support and love of the CHUK family to be overwhelming, - thank you.
