🐾💦 Two more happy pups have officially joined the Paws in the Pool gang! 💦🐾

These superstars took the plunge yesterday and had an amazing time building confidence and having fun.

Whether your dog loves to make a splash, needs a confidence boost, or just wants a fun way to exercise, our pool sessions are a fantastic way to keep them active and happy.

A big well done to these two water-loving recruits—we think they’ve definitely caught the swimming bug! 🏊‍♂️🐾

Who else is ready to join the Paws in the Pool gang? 💙

🌟 Advanced Tricks Club Superstars! 🌟

What a fantastic session at Advanced Tricks Club! 🐾

As it has been so hot recently, I wanted lots of fun things, so from skateboarding 🛹 and ball skills ⚽ to holds 🏸 and quoits, these dogs were showing off just how talented they are. The focus, enthusiasm, and teamwork between dogs and handlers is amazing to watch.

It’s incredible to see how far everyone has come, and as always, the dogs absolutely smashed it! 👏🐶

Well done to all our clever pups and their dedicated humans—you make teaching these classes such a pleasure. ❤️- Donna S

🐾💦 Have You Enjoyed Seeing All the Swimming Photos This Week? 💦🐾

We’ve loved sharing all the pictures of the dogs enjoying the pool this week, and what a week it’s been! 🥰

From first-timers finding their confidence to experienced swimmers making a splash, every dog has had an amazing time. There have been plenty of wagging tails, happy faces, and lots of fun in the water.

The instructors have had a great time too — the sunshine certainly helps! ☀️😊 There’s nothing better than seeing dogs having fun, growing in confidence, and cooling off while making happy memories with their owners.

Swimming is a fantastic activity for dogs:
💦 Helps keep them cool in warm weather
💦 Builds confidence
💦 Provides low-impact exercise that’s gentle on joints
💦 Offers great mental stimulation
💦 Helps improve fitness and body awareness
💦 And most importantly… it’s great fun!

When it’s too hot for a normal training lesson… you swap the field for the pool instead! ☀️💦🐾

Today Pudding & Twinkle came in for their very first swim session and what a lovely morning it was. Even though they’re brothers, their personalities couldn’t be more different 🥰

Twinkle was straight in, full of confidence and loving every second, while Pudding took things a little more carefully and needed a quick cuddle just to make sure everything was okay ❤️

That’s what we love most about working with dogs — every dog learns and experiences things differently, and watching them grow in confidence at their own pace is so special.

Safe to say both boys had a fantastic time cooling off in the pool today 🐶💦

🚨🐾 Little safety reminder for everyone coming down for a swim today 🐾☀️

Please make sure your car is aired and cooled before travelling with your dog in this heat. Open doors/windows before setting off and ensure your pup stays cool and comfortable on the journey.

Their safety and welfare always comes first 💦
