Just a reminder that Paw-Masters starts this evening, we are looking forward to helping you take the next steps in not only your dog training, but also building a greater bond and understanding with your pooch.

Ready to take your dog’s skills to the next level? Paw-Masters is our new follow-on training class designed to build on the foundations of Paw-Scholars and introduce exciting new challenges.

When: Friday evenings, 19:30 - 20:30
Cost: £6 per session (Pay As You Go) – Buy 5 sessions, get the 6th free.

What to Expect:
Skill Building & Good Citizen Awards; We’ll refine the basics like loose lead walking, recall, and impulse control while working towards the Kennel Club Good Citizen awards, starting at Bronze level. If your dog is already at a higher level, we’ll adapt to support their progress.

Tea Break & Settling Practice. Midway through, we’ll enjoy a relaxed tea/coffee break (biscuits included) while helping our dogs master the art of doing… absolutely nothing. Perfect for building calmness in everyday life.

Tricks & Dog Sports. Each month, we’ll introduce a fun new theme, from tricks training to dog sports like obedience, rally, or scent work. This gives you and your dog a chance to explore different activities and see what sparks their enthusiasm.

This weekend, the Middlesbrough Dog Club committee put their learning caps on and attended a fantastic Canine First Aid course!

From bandaging paws to spotting the signs of an emergency, we brushed up on our skills to make sure we’re always prepared to help keep your dogs safe.

While we always hope we’ll never need to use it, having this knowledge means we can act quickly and confidently if an accident ever happens. After all, your dogs are our members too.

A huge thank you to Canine First Aid Workshops - UK - Rachel Bean RVN for a brilliant, informative session, and to Stokesley Sports Club for providing such a great space for learning. We highly recommend both to anyone wanting to improve their canine first aid knowledge!

We are looking to host Rachel again later in the year, so keep your eyes peeled for information.
