Online Canine First Aid

Canine first aid, dog, first aid

As it is difficult for me to arrange groups for workshops and courses at the moment, I have added an online canine first aid course to the shop for you to access.

The course is just one of many run by Canine Principles so take a look at the others they have on offer too.

All Canine Principles online dog courses have been written by qualified professionals with expertise on their chosen subject. Care has been taken to create a course library that is based on only the most up to date dog science. The courses teach dog training and behaviour following the science of positive reinforcement and reward based training.

Think! How Hot is Too Hot?

This is one of my favourite images for provoking thought about dogs and hot weather.  Most of them concentrate on cars or pavements but just being at home, in the garden or on a non-pavement walk still has risks.  This chart helps you consider YOUR individual dogs risk and is one of the few that draws attention to the fact that elderly dogs struggle more than young (+6m) and middle aged dogs.

USL Heating Tonight

Dog Training, training, Upton St Leonards

The heating pump in the main hall at USL is broken and so there will not be any heating this evening.  Please wrap up warm.  If it is too cold, we will move to the annexe where the heating is working but the extra space in the main hall is useful.

Extra treats will be a good idea (I will bring the Shop Box) as you will be up on your feet working to keep warm!

Members of the 7.30pm class who are expecting to attend please join the 6.30pm class instead (this has been agreed with you all so this message is for clarification).

Any member of 7.30pm class who finds their plans have changed and who now will be attending, please be aware of the above arrangements.

Christmas Walk 2015

Training class clients who are interested in attending the Christmas Walk in the Forest of Dean on Saturday 19 December 2015 please put your name down in class this week.

Dogs and handlers must be old enough, young enough and fit enough to walk for 1-2 hours.  Dogs who will be scared, frustrated, anxious, distressed or overexcited in the presence of up to 20 off lead dogs would not benefit from the experience and should not attend.  Dogs are likely to be off lead for the majority of the walk, providing it is safe for them to be, therefore a good recall is very important.  Alternatively dogs may be kept on loose leads, headcollars or body harnesses.

Lunch at the pub afterwards – please let me know if you will be attending this so I can book a table.

Please remember that there are no weekday classes this week in anticipation of the majority of firework activity taking place from now until Sunday.

Saturday morning classes will run as normal though please be careful with your dogs on the field for the next few weeks as there will have been a display on it and may be residue left behind.
