Baby news…
My second baby is due in February so I’ll be out of action for training for a while, but the dog park will continue to run as normal with my husband at the helm and me in the background!
That’s why there hasn’t been any puppy socials scheduled in the diary for the time being, but once I’m back up and running I will do some young puppy social sessions at the barn initially for any pups missing out on crucial socialisation time during that window, then when I’m fighting fit again I’ll be ready to take on all you crazy pups again.
It is also why I’ve not been taking on any reactivity cases for the next few months, but I’ve spoken to anyone who has got in touch to point them in the right direction and give them some immediate behaviour ‘first aid’ help.
Dog park field hire will operate as normal, so no change there! You might get a reply sometimes from my husband instead of me (if it sounds a bit abrupt and serious then what will be him, he’s lovely but doesn’t do social media small talk that well.
In the meantime if you need additional help, behaviour stuff – Tracy at Canines Behaving Badly is a trusted behaviourist who operates in this area.
For puppy classes you have Jen at Clever Dogs Dog Training in Blencow and Katie’s K9s who runs puppy and agility courses in Skelton and other places nearby.

Checking your Package Coupon Code
You can now check how many sessions you have left on your Package Order / Coupon Code, by going to the main booking page (wellyandtails.co.uk/book) and at the bottom, it says Check Code Balance.
Have you tried the Scent Wall?
We’re getting photos sent in of lots of your dogs trying the scent wall which is great!
You can make it as easy or difficult for your dog – by hiding treats in every cone, or just a few – or hiding items for them to find and then reward with a treat.
You could also teach them to freeze or sit when they locate a scent – this possibilities are endless!
If you want to get started training your dog to search, I created a free guide to getting started in scentwork over in the Hub!
What’s in the Hub?
Did you know there are free training and behaviour resources over on the Welly and Tails website for park visitors about different topics.
Just go to the Welly and Tails website and look for the Hub!
