There was a lovely family reunion today, not just for the human sisters, but for their four-legged companions too! 🐾💙

One dog is a seasoned Puppy School graduate who has grown into a calm, confident older dog. The other is an excited youngster, counting down the days until Week 1 of Puppy School begins.

It was wonderful to watch them spend time together. The older dog gently showed the youngster the ropes, while the puppy soaked up every new experience with boundless enthusiasm. These early positive social interactions are so valuable with helping puppies learn appropriate communication, build confidence and develop great social skills.

We can’t wait to welcome our newest recruit to Puppy School Gloucester and watch their journey unfold. If today is anything to go by, he’s going to have an amazing time! 🐶✨

What a fantastic achievement for this lovely couple and their two gorgeous puppies, who have just completed their “at home” training programme! 🎉🐾🐾

Training two puppies at the same time is no small feat and especially two puppies that live together, but with consistency, patience and plenty of laughs along the way, they’ve done an incredible job. From mastering the basics to building confidence, good manners and a wonderful bond with their humans, Chalky and Jack have come on in leaps and bounds.

It’s been an absolute pleasure watching this little family grow together. Wishing you all many happy adventures ahead. Remember, training doesn’t stop here… every walk, every cuddle and every game is another opportunity to keep learning together.

Well done we’re so proud of you all! 💙💙🐶🐶

These three superstars have worked their paws off, mastering new skills, building confidence and making their humans incredibly proud along the way. From wagging tails to well earned certificates, it’s been fantastic to watch their progress each week.

Well done, Cookie, Gin, and Jessop – you’ve all been brilliant! 🌟 We can’t wait to see what adventures and achievements come next. Keep up the amazing work! 🐕❤️

Their hard work, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn have been a joy to see, and they should all be very proud of their achievements.

Huge congratulations to Willow, Luna, Aggie and Mia on graduating from Puppy School! Over the past six weeks, they have filled every class with wagging tails, happy paws, fun, laughter, and plenty of puppy smiles. Their confidence has blossomed, their skills have grown, and they have all worked incredibly hard while making wonderful memories along the way. It has been a joy to watch their personalities shine, and they should be so proud of everything they have achieved. Here’s to many more adventures, cuddles, and tail-wagging successes in the future!

It’s been a tough and very personal week for me, and after having to cancel this week’s lesson because of the extreme heat, gestures like this from Dottie really make me smile.

The chocolates, the rose plant, and the beautifully written card with pictures of Dottie have made me feel so much better. Thoughtful kindness like this means more than words can say, and it has certainly lifted my spirits.

Thank you Dottie and owners x

What a fantastic session with our latest Companion Bronze stars last night!

These young dogs worked so hard on their training and we finished the class the best way possible - with plenty of fun and play. Not only do the dogs love it, but play is a brilliant way to reinforce learning and build confidence.

One thing you can always spot in a Puppy School dog? They absolutely love a game of tug and know how to play it beautifully!

It’s been a whopping good week for me at Paignton Zoo.

It’s a huge chunk of CPD and also a great reminder of how zoo animals benefit from positive reward based training.

We wrote and tweaked our training plans and communicated necessary information to the next team training our species to offer continuity in the learning.

My mechanical skills have been boosted massively and I thank each and every animal I worked with over the last 4 days.

What a delight it was to meet up with this little cherub for some pre-class socialisation and settling practise.

We can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday morning chatting all things puppy in a coffee shop.

We look forward to greeting you both in class in a few weeks 🤩

You can take the girl out of dog training but you can’t take the training out of the girl. Isn’t that how it goes??

This was my recent trip to Sweden and along with awesome dog sledding (bucket list ✅), I was lucky enough to spend a little time with some reindeer.

See even reindeer will walk nicely next to you for a handful of Lichen.
