The Cheeky Chihuahua Dog Training, Behaviour and Mantrailing

The beautiful Zara has just had a wonderful session in and around Ashcombe Park. No barking, no lunging, just a splendid walk in magnificent surroundings. Her owner has been working hard, and it's really paid off

Lando, Mary, and Sunny, don't like to brag, but: they've just gone and smashed their last week of puppy training to the (much-coveted) Cheeky Chihuahua Certificate of Puppy Excellence! Humongous congratulations and welcome to the Cheeky Chihuahua family

Wilson, our Teenage Tearaway nonagenarian, has sauntered through his IMDT Partnership Grade level 1. The youngsters call him Uncle Wilson, and love his stories about his exploits as a young pup during The War, though they don't like the idea of wartime rationing, especially of doggie treats!

Our 'Presentation Stump' in Ashcombe Park has made history. Not only have 2 of our Teenage Tearaways passed their IMDT Partnership Grade level 5 on the same day, but they're the first to sit together for their photo. Humongous congratulations to Daisy and Eddie!

Thank you, Chantelle. Humongously appreciated!Puppy classes are a wonderful opportunity to get our puppies off on the right foot, and Lando was a joy to have in class

Huge thank you for the puppy training sessions! 🐾 Lando had such a great time—he absolutely loved it! A big shout out to Mark, who was calm, patient, and made the classes fun and enjoyable. It helped lando build upon his tricks and skills around distractions to help him socialize confidently with other dogs and humans.
It’s been a lovely & positive experience, and we’re grateful.
Thank you again! 🐶✨

The Mighty Thor, God of thunder, lightening, storms, and strength. Or a massive cuddle monster, as we know him. He sailed through his puppy course, earning the (much-coveted) Cheeky Chihuahua Certificate of Puppy Excellence. Well done, furry dude!

Young at heart, Wilson, is 14 human years old, and he's joined our Teenage Tearaway family. He's an absolute pleasure, passing on his knowledge to the youngsters. Every Teenage Tearaways class needs a Wilson!

Splendid work from our splendid puppies, who've earned their (much-coveted) Certificates of Puppy Excellence with great aplomb! Congratulations to Miko, Nimueh, Spike, and Zena. Well done, furry dudes

We've just received a most magnificent Google review from Claire and her miniature daschund, Hugo:

Last September I was asked to leave Cadbury Garden Centre due to Hugo's reactive barking. Hugo (a Miniature Dachshund) was 8/9 months old at the time. Our daily walks became unjoyable due to Hugo's loudness! This was absolutely heart breaking.
I found Mark, who has saved the day and rekindled the bond between myself and Hugo.
Mark listened to me and broke things down, giving me invaluable advice to help me with Hugo's reactivity to other dogs.
Today, myself Hugo and Mark went to Cadbury Garden Center to put our months & months of training into practice. The visit went really well.
We have more work to do but are well on our way and much more confident.
Its safe to say that Mark knows his stuff about our fur babies.
Would highly recommend !

Hugo has even joined a few Teenage Tearaway classes, and embraced the jumps. Looks like we have another Flying Sausage!

With JD3DP – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉 We're so lucky to Joshua Dudley frequently help out at our Teenage Tearaway class on a Friday morning, and share his latest designs. His, 3D printer produced, silent dog whistle prototype (possibly a secret project), has gone down very well!

We're 10 years old! The most magnificent thank yous to , for our splendid new logo! Our Scentwork Gurus course will be starting after Easter, in addition to our puppy classes, Teenage Tearaways, and our one-to-one sessions. If practical experience and being qualified to pass our knowledge to you matters, you've come to the right place. #

The most beautiful Petal has earned something of a reputation for her leaping prowess as she smashed her (much-coveted), Certificate of Puppy Excellence. So much so that she's referred to as 'The Flying Sausage'. Teenage Tearaways await!
