Lovely review today.
Many thanks. 🥰🥰🥰

After attending another puppy school locally to us we were very disappointed with the standard of teaching and paying £120 for 8!weeks Lessons . So we looked around and having had success previously with the kennel club we found Knowle dog training club.
After 4 weeks we have learnt so much and at a fraction of the cost we were paying before.
I cannot stress enough how lovely and knowledgable the trainers are and most importantly patient.
Our puppy has come on leaps and bounds but without the leaping and the bounding more like controlled heel img in walk.
It's a very enjoyable class to take part in and our puppy loves it.
I throughly recommend this training group.

⚠️ Dangers of and to pets 🐕🐈 advice to keep them safe during .

Grit is dangerous to your pets if they accidentally ingest it. It can cause dehydration, liver problems, and pancreatitis - possibly leading to death if a pet consumes enough of it.

Antifreeze contains a deadly chemical called ethylene glycol, it can easily be fatal if swallowed by pets.

▪️In order to keep your pets safe, experts offer the following suggestions:

* Walking – Some pet owners in suburban and rural environments prefer to let their animals out on their own. This is probably not a good idea if you know there is fresh salt on the roads. The salt can become lodged in the paws of your animals then ingested when they groom themselves. Experts suggest you walk your animals so that you can monitor their grooming.

* Cleaning – After you complete your walk, be sure to immediately clean the paws of your pets. Some warm water and a soft brush should take care of it. You might also want to leave your shoes in an area where the pets cannot get near them. This prevents them from licking the salt off the shoes when you are not around.

* Antifreeze – If you do use antifreeze to clean your vehicle's windscreen, make sure you clean up any spills on the ground. Antifreeze is somewhat sweet, so it can be tempting to animals that might walk through the area.

* Gritting – If you grit around your own property, go as easy on the salt as you can. You really do not need to use the large amounts of grit you normally see caked on pavements and driveways. Moreover, the less you can use the fewer problems you create for your own pets and other neighbourhood animals.

Should you notice one of your pets acting strangely after coming in from winter weather, do not hesitate to get the animal to the vet as quickly as possible.

One of the early signs of salt ingestion is excessive salivation after your dog or cat has groomed itself. Other signs include lethargy, excessive drinking and strange noises that indicate the animal might be in pain.

With a little bit of caution you can keep your pets safe.

Christmas is a very exciting time of the year, but can be expensive if you have to visit the vet for something that can be avoided.
So here's some things to be mindful of:-
It's best to place anything your dogs shouldn't have out of sight.

Check out The Kennel club's Christmas Dangers site, it covers:-

Food
Festive plants
Decorations and presents.
Winter Dangers.
Anti freeze .

Make sure all electric wires from Christmas tree lights etc are out of the way, as we know they like to chew.

Guests and children that are coming round can be overwhelming for your excitable dog .
You don’t want any accidents so calm greetings are key, ask them to ignore your dog, wait for all paws on the floor before attempting to say hello, in a calm manner.
You can try having the dog on a lead to begin with so you're in control depending on the level of excitement. Ensure your dog has a safe space to retreat to when it gets too much for them, where they won't be disturbed.

It's very important make sure your dog is out of the way and safe before opening the front door to welcome your guests. Put them in another room, or their safe space i.e. crate, bed or behind a dog gate.
Best to be safe .

Have a happy safe Christmas! 🎄🐾

At Christmas, interesting foods, unusual plants and trees, attractive decorations and presents can be dangerous to dogs.
