Callie’s Training Update

Callie and her owner have come such a long way since I last saw them. Her walking has really improved, with her being able to understand situations better and stay calmer. The hard work and consistency are definitely paying off.

This time we focused on something new: Callie’s relationship with the car. Believe it or not, she’s not a big fan! We worked on some gentle, pressure-free techniques to help her feel more comfortable. By the end of the session, she was getting in on her own, which was such a lovely moment to see.

I’ve left some homework for her owners to keep building on this progress, and I’m excited to see how far she’ll go next.

Meet Boo! 🐾

Boo joined us for some 1-2-1 training to work through a few adolescent challenges, including reactive behaviours towards both dogs and people.

After chatting with Boo’s pawrents, we found that fast movements or unpredictable behaviour from either humans or dogs can make Boo feel the need to pre-warn them to “stop and go away” before anything happens.

We’ve now had two sessions and are focusing on positive reinforcement — giving Boo space, rewarding calm behaviour, and marking those moments where there’s no reaction to dogs or people. It’s all about helping Boo feel safe, understood, and confident in the world around them. 💛

☀️ Hot Weather is Back – Keep Our Dogs Safe! 🐾

With the warm days returning, it’s important to keep our furry friends happy and healthy in the heat. Here are some handy reminders:

✅ Avoid walking during the hottest part of the day – early mornings or late evenings are best.
✅ Always provide fresh, cool water and shade when outdoors.
✅ Never leave your dog in a car, even for a few minutes.
✅ Check the pavement – if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
✅ Watch for signs of heatstroke – excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting.

Let’s enjoy the sunshine while keeping our pups safe and cool! 💦🐶

🐾 Midweek Mantrailing Magic 🐾

Wednesday’s session was all about pushing the teams that little bit further – and wow did they deliver! 💪👃

We tackled longer trails with multi-way junctions, busy alleyways, and a car park full of scent distractions. From the scent of food wrappers to the hustle and bustle of people and dogs – it was a real-world challenge.

But guess what? Every single team stayed focused, worked through the chaos, and found their trail layer! 🔥🙌

Massive well done to all the dogs (and humans!) for trusting the process, tuning in to the scent, and getting the job done. 🐶🕵️‍♂️

🎓 Training Tip Thursday: Want your dog to come when called?

Start by rewarding them every single time – even in easy environments like your garden or kitchen. Make coming to you the best thing ever (cheese, play, praise – whatever they love!)

🚫 Don’t call them if you’re going to do something they dislike right after (like bath time or leaving the park).

🐾 “Progress over perfection!”

Every dog learns at their own pace – whether it's walking nicely on a lead, feeling calm around other dogs, or settling at home alone. If you're working on a training goal this week, remember: baby steps are still steps forward! 💪🐶

💬 Tell us: What’s your current training goal?

I absolutely love when I get to head out with these two girls 💛 One is wild, wiggly and full of beans (looking at you, Coko! 😂) and the other is calm, gentle and full of love – sweet Willow 🐾💫

They’re such a lovely pair in their own ways, and they never fail to put a big smile on my face. Grateful for these moments 🥰

💡 Let’s Help Each Other Out! 🐾

We all have those moments where we need to get something done — whether it's cooking dinner, hopping on a Zoom call, or just enjoying a hot cuppa in peace ☕🙈

🐶 Thinking of Getting a Dog or Puppy? 🐾
It’s easy to fall for those waggy tails and puppy eyes, but before you commit to a dog for life, it’s so important to pause and think ahead.

Here are some key things to consider before bringing a dog into your world:

💸 Can you afford it?
A 2023 survey found the average annual cost of owning a dog ranges from £2,685 to £9,180 — and that’s before you even buy or adopt one. And now in 2025 prices have risen so this figure is defiantly higher now than ever.

⏰ Do you have time for:
✔️ Daily walks (30 mins to 1 hour, twice a day)
✔️ Ongoing training – toilet training, adolescence, life skills
✔️ Vet visits, grooming, feeding, playtime, and bonding
✔️ Staying home – dogs need time with you, not just to be handed off

🏡 Is your home suitable?
Do you have a secure garden or access to safe walking areas? Is your home environment calm or chaotic? Dogs need their own quiet space too – especially in busy households.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Does your family have space (and time) for a dog?
If life is already hectic, will you truly be able to give your dog the attention and consistency they need?

✈️ What happens when you go away?
Holidays, work trips, events – can you afford and arrange reliable pet care when you’re not around?

💭 Why do you want a dog?
Is it for companionship? A lifestyle change? Because the kids asked? Be honest with yourself — dogs are not a quick fix for boredom or loneliness. They are living beings with real needs.

❓ Final question:

> Will my dog spend more time with others than with me?
If yes, it might not be the right time just yet.

🐾 A dog is for life — not just the cute moments. But with the right preparation, it can be the most rewarding bond you'll ever have. ❤️

🎯 Scent Work 121 with Charlie & Maisie 🐾

We were back with the lovely duo, Charlie and Maisie, for another scent work 121 session! After a little break (holibobs happen! 😄), we recapped their scent games—and they didn’t forget a thing! 🙌

Both girls brought their usual enthusiasm and were keen to show Mum just how much they remembered 🧠💪

This time, we introduced chair searches and reduced the size of the Kong article to add a bit more challenge—and they smashed it! 👃💥

Always a joy to see these two working together with tails wagging. 💛
