This wonderful girl has been with us for just shy of 3 months now and what a wonderful time we’ve been having.

When she was first found at the end of November, she was skin and bone, riddled with parasites and had no muscle. She could barely walk. She went into foster and gained a few kg’s and then she came to me.

When she arrived at the end of December, her coat was dull and itchy, her eyes and ears were gunky and she was still very skinny and under muscled. Her back end was very wobbly and we didn’t know if it was poor conformation or simply malnutrition.

We got to work. Made sure her diet was perfect, added supplementation to help weight and muscle gain. She got in every week with our physio and we slowly started improving her strength and proprioception.

The progress this girl has made is insane. She’s pretty much DOUBLE the weight she was when she was found now. She’s strong and has muscle mass. Her coat, eyes and ears are all bright and shiny too.

When I first picked her up, I wasn’t sure if she was going to fit our lifestyle. She was quiet and sweet but didn’t show much likelihood of being up for high intensity stuff. Of course, this was mainly due to how she felt physically but also she’d been through a lot mentally too.

Her confidence is shining through. She comes everywhere with me and settles in pubs, cafes and other busy environments. She’s done her first hotel stay and is set to travel with us through Europe in September. She has started mini hikes and has quickly gained off lead freedom.

She’s social and she’s sweet, but she’s also rapidly gained enough confidence to make huge strides in her bitework journey. Initially, she was terrified of men, but now through play, we’ve built her confidence and she now bites confidently and absolutely loves it.

I’m so excited to see where life leads with this little girl. She’s a total pleasure and I can’t imagine life without her now.

Our reactivity packages now include a FREE pain check with Iain at

Pain can often be a huge factor in reactivity and behavioural issues. Many of these niggles can be missed during routine vet checks. We like to rule out (as much as possible) pain before starting work with dogs with issues such as these.

So, our reactivity packages will now come with the option to utilise a free pain check before starting the training process.

We have options with both myself and available.

Please pop either of us a message if you would like to find out more.

We offer a huge range of services between us here, from 121 sessions and day trains all the way through to a selection of different group classes and activities.

121 sessions are available as both pay-as-you-go and packages. We have a range of durations to suit. We typically recommend a minimum 90-minute session to begin with, however, options from 60 minutes are available to book if required.

Sessions are entirely tailored to you and your dog and we have the option of utilising the secure field if required before venturing out to put training into real-life practice.

If you want to find out more, pop me a message. Alternatively, you can book your first session with me or Rachael below:

Have you ever wanted to put your dog's incredible nose to the test? Mantrailing is a wonderful dog sport that does just that.

Your dog will learn to find a 'missing' person, all using their incredible sense of smell.

Mantrailing is suitable for dogs of all ages and even those that are both dog and human reactive. Just one dog is out working at a time and it can be a fabulous confidence booster for those worried about people.

It's done on a long line and no level of obedience or recall is required, again making it one of the most inclusive dog sports available to us!

You can grab your spot for this coming weekend, or my April and May dates too!

Introducing 'The Pawticular Dog Club'!

We wanted to offer a group class designed to allow you to try new sports and activities with your dog, in a fun and relaxed space without the pressure of having to sign up for a single specific sport or a block of sessions.

We will cover a range of things, including:

•⁠ ⁠Agility
•⁠ ⁠Lure coursing
•⁠ ⁠Mantrailing
•⁠ ⁠Canicross/Pulling sports
•⁠ ⁠Scentwork
•⁠ ⁠Trick training
•⁠ ⁠Hoopes
•⁠ ⁠Confidence building and general body awareness
•⁠ ⁠Recall

Each session will generally include more than one activity and alongside having lots of fun it will provide a wonderful opportunity for your dog to get exposure to other dogs safely too.

All dogs of all breeds and ages are welcome (stuff will be tailored to younger/older dogs to ensure it's age-appropriate) and it's designed to provide your dog with fun outlets, providing plenty of mental stimulation and tiring them out nicely!

You do NOT have to be an existing client to attend, however for dogs with behavioural issues, please drop us a message so we are aware and can accommodate.

You can dip in and out and book as many or as few as you wish, so you won't be tied into committing to a period of time.

We can't wait to get this up and running. We are aiming for 2 sessions minimum a month initially but will increase the sessions if there is sufficient demand.

We also have the option to purchase packages of 3, 5 or 10 sessions, which can be spread out over a period of time whilst also cutting the cost slightly.

If you have any questions, pop me a message over!

Been a bit quiet on here recently, but had to post this as this is truly why I love what I do.

Bracken was a wonderful dog to work with. Working line rescued setter from Ireland and utterly bonkers. He was blessed with a wonderfully committed owner, however he was SO frustrated.

He was confined to a life on lead because his recall was non existent. He couldn’t be walked on a long line or flexi because he was a liability. He was so pent up, frustrated and disengaged on the lead that he was becoming reactive to other dogs.

His only option for freedom was a secure field.

Anyway, we got to work. We introduced tools responsibly. We e-collar trained him. We slowly got him safely off lead and then also walking nicely on the lead too.

He now lives a wonderful life. He gets to run. He gets to be a dog. He’s happy. He goes to the beach and he gets to do it all safely.

It was around 18 months ago that life for Bracken changed for the better and I still get to receive lovely messages like this one.

Dogs like him are not born to be confined to a lead or a secure field.

It’s cruel for the dog and it’s also cruel and miserable for the owner too.

Now they get to enjoy many wonderful years together.

I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely girl for a consultation session.

Her owner wanted to discuss ways we could help get a handle on her prey drive. She’s a beautiful, happy and well fulfilled girl which is lovely to see!

There are some pretty staggering things that appear on the internet, and this is one of them.

He paints himself as the ethical training poster boy, and then comes out with crap like this.

Insulting to those who’ve been victims of domestic abuse and frankly insulting to insinuate balanced trainers abuse humans.

News flash, they don’t abuse dogs either.

There are bad eggs everywhere. Some compulsion based trainers market themselves as balanced, when it’s simply not the case and their methods genuinely are awful, which paints all balanced trainers the same way.

However, the statement below is completely and utterly unacceptable. It’s based on literally zero fact. End of discussion.

Lovely Stanley!

He had his second session with me today and we focused quite heavily on play. He’s a great dog but has a few struggles including reactivity.

I always look at the entire picture, and genetic fulfilment is a huge one. He’s a podenco, bred to hunt rabbits.

So, I whipped out the flirt pole with a lil sheepskin on the end and we looked at how we could fulfil that side of him, while also building up his relationship with his owners through play.

We’ve already addressed marker systems and some engagement stuff, as well as hand feeding and already his owners have noticed a big improvement in him out and about.

He’s a lucky boy to have very dedicated owners who’ve already worked hard to implement the stuff we’ve discussed in sessions.

We hosted the wonderful Shanae from tacticalpawsltd for a Canine Touch Workshop this weekend.

We had a range of dogs from those who just needed to be a little more comfortable or less fidgety, right the way through to dogs with fairly severe bite histories, and everything in between!

Watching the dogs process the information and learn what works more effectively than the undesirable behaviours was wonderful to watch and I hope everyone has taken away some stuff to go away and continue their dog’s journeys.

Also eternally grateful to for sorting us out with an indoor venue at very short notice due to the gross weather.

I learned loads and cannot wait to put everything into practice.
