Widget's Farm Run by a qualified animal behaviourist, Widget's Farm is a dedicated pet behaviour, training and rehab centre set in 14 acres in Standerwick.

Widget's Farm is over 14 acres of lovely countryside with ample secure space dedicated to dog training, rehab and secure field hire. Our training approach is to use learning theory to motivate and reward animals for the desired behaviours, and to change their negative view of a situation where one exists. We end up with happy, healthy dogs which learn to cope with stress and make better choices. A

nna, Widget's human, has an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour from Lincoln University, and is a member of a number of professional training and behaviour organisations. She also undertakes regular CPD to ensure Widget's Farm always provides the most up to date science-based training. We are also fully insured and staff are qualified in first aid. Located on the Somerset / Wiltshire border, we cover Frome, Bath, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Shepton Mallet and the surrounding areas.

Possible thunderstorms and lightening...

To help your dogs...
- keep them inside
- put on some background noise to minimise the surprise of any thunderclaps
- get slow feeder toys prepped
- get high value treats ready
- note your dogs may start to feel unsettled with the pressure change before a storm
- if a storm starts, give them a slow feeder toy
- if needed, give them a high value treat after each thunder clap
- give your dog support if they seek it (you can't reinforce worry)
- allow your dog to hide if they choose to - don't try and encourage them out if they are hiding somewhere safe.
- close curtains if they are distressed by any flashes

"You've got to go home now, Mabel!"

Little Mabel is all tuckered out after puppy class but still doesn't want to leave! She'll flake out when she gets home and fall deep into the sleep of the innocents. (rest assured, she's far from innocent, but we won't tell her that.) But that's an added bonus of puppy classes - how relaxed and restful the pups are on a class day - owners love it!

If you'd like to join us for puppy training and have a pup under 18 weeks at the moment, we have a new class starting on the evening of the 14th May. Please book here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/fce4c342/?appointmentTypeIds[]=77917600 or call to discuss - 07900 403126

And as this page is all things dog, here is a lovely article above some of the war's canine heroes.
