Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

As a lesbian-owned business, Pride Month is something that means a great deal to me personally.

At Bubba’s Dog Training, everyone is welcome. No matter your gender, sexuality, identity, ethnicity, religion, disability, background, or the dog you share your life with, you deserve to feel safe, respected, and supported.

Inclusivity isn’t something that exists just for Pride Month. It’s a value that sits at the heart of this business every single day. Creating a space where people can show up as themselves without judgement is incredibly important to me.

This year’s Pride Month feels especially important. Watching rights and protections come under threat in other parts of the world, particularly in the US, has been difficult. Closer to home, many LGBTQ+ people are also feeling an underlying sense of unease about the direction of public discourse and political conversations here in the UK. Whether that concern is shared by everyone or not, it’s a feeling that many in our community are carrying right now.

That’s why Pride remains so important. Not just as a celebration of who we are, but as a statement that LGBTQ+ people deserve dignity, safety, equality, and the freedom to exist without fear.

To my LGBTQ+ clients, followers, friends, fellow business owners, and allies: thank you for helping create a community where people feel safe, valued, respected, and accepted for exactly who they are.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

A little business update 👇🏼

Over the last few weeks, and since Crumpet’s injury, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on what I want life and business to look like going forwards.

As a result, I’ll be reducing the number of available in-person training slots each month, while increasing availability for my Monthly Virtual Training & Behaviour Programme 💻

Virtual support has become a larger part of the business recently and honestly, I’ve seen how effective it can be when owners have ongoing guidance, regular feedback and support in real time, rather than just a one-hour session every few weeks.

In-person training isn’t disappearing completely, but spaces will become much more limited going forwards.

Current availability:
🐾 Fully booked for in-person training until July
🐾 Only 2 in-person spaces remaining for July

I’ll continue to keep everybody updated in the shorter term regarding my return to regular in-person work while Crumpet continues her recovery 🫶🏻

Thank you all so much for the support, patience and understanding recently. It genuinely means the world to me and the dogs 🐕

❗️☀️ Please Read - Hot Weather Policy

During sessions, dogs are working harder than you might realise which means they heat up much faster.

That’s why I follow a strict hot weather policy.

Some dogs are at higher risk, including flat-faced breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with health conditions. For these dogs, the policy will be adjusted.

If conditions are too warm:
✔️ Sessions are modified
✔️ Moved indoors
✔️ Rescheduled
✔️ Or moved online

❌ This is not optional.
❌ This is not flexible.
❌ This is not open to negotiation.

If you’ve got any questions about how this affects your sessions, just drop me a message 💬

Liverpool Social Dog Walks are relaxed, friendly group walks designed to bring local dog owners together in a calm and enjoyable environment. These walks focus on creating positive social experiences for both dogs and their owners, offering the chance to get out, meet others, and enjoy time together in a well-managed group setting 🫶🏻

Although this is not a training walk, each walk is hosted by a qualified behaviourist to help ensure the group remains safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone attending. I will be on hand to answer any questions you may have too 👋🏻

This is the second article this week I’ve seen about a death at a residential ‘training’ facility.

When they’re using pain and intimidation to train, tell me where the line stops? Because clearly they’re not sure either

The page is still up and running, still has photos of this man on there.

CONVICTED | dog trainer Danny Fullwood, 29, of Barrow Hill, Chesterfield, Derbyshire S43 – caused the death of a dog in his care.

Fullwood was prosecuted by the RSPCA in relation to a Tamaskan wolfdog called Freya (pictured top-right), who died suddenly from a ruptured liver during a 'training' session.

The father-of-two had denied inflicting blunt force trauma on the 18-month-old dog, who was being boarded at ADK9 Professional Dog Training while her owners were on holiday.

On 6 December 2023, while still abroad, Freya’s owners received a call from the kennels informing them that their pet had died. They were told that she had been taken to a local vet after falling gravely ill where staff had tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate her for 20 minutes.

A post mortem carried out at the owners’ request showed Freya had suffered multiple lacerations to her liver which had been caused by blunt force trauma.

No other injuries were identified and the report said it was considered they were the result of a single traumatic impact to the dog’s abdomen.

The findings led her concerned owners to contact the RSPCA and an investigation was started.

Fullwood told the court he couldn’t explain how Freya, who weighed 24kg, had sustained the injury to her liver, describing her as “ridiculously excited” while in her kennel and bouncing from wall to wall.

Fullwood was convicted of one offence contrary to the Animal Welfare Act 2006 after a five-day trial at Derby Crown Court.

In mitigation the court was told that what had happened to Freya was an “isolated incident” reflective of a loss of judgement which had already had a significant impact on Fullwood who has reportedly lost his job as a result.

Passing sentence, Judge Martin Hurst said significant force had been used and there was no dispute it led to Freya’s death.

The judge said the incident was “completely out of character” and that disqualifying Fullwood from keeping dogs would be “disproportionate”. He also concluded there was no relevant CCTV footage and the incident had not been observed by anybody else.

Speaking after sentencing Inspector Bird said: “It was an extremely upsetting case as Freya was so young and her owners were devastated by what happened to their much-loved dog.”

Sentencing | 12-month community order with 120 hours of unpaid work. No disqualification order preventing Fullwood from keeping animals was imposed.
