Finally Fred and I have finalised our plans for the All About Dogs show next month! Fred will be demonstrating how handy it is to have a dog who can find your lost items – keys, wallet, purse,  mobile phone, any of those slippery little things that seem to run off as soon as you turn your back.

We will also be demonstrating the kind of games and activities you can play with your dog to keep them busy and active without spending a fortune, and show you what kind of games your dog will like to play – based on their breed and interests! A tired dog is a happy dog, and we can show you how you can tire your dog out – easily!

Our final demonstrations will be all the useful things your dog can do around the house if you can teach him a simple ‘Fetch’ trick. Once your dog will happily share things with you, you need never get up to fetch your own slippers again!

Have a Go Hunt the Item

Something for the dogs who don’t need training to do! We’ll hide an item of yours (or we can give you something to put your scent onto) in our ball pool, and see if your dog can find it for you in under 2 minutes. Certificates available (via email) for all the winners! Cocktail sausages available for any dog that needs extra help!

We will also be offering 15/20 minute training sessions for you and your dog. You can request anything your dog needs to learn, and if it’s possible to get you started in the time, we will show you how to teach it to your dog. You will be amazed how much your dog will learn in the session!

If you’re not sure what you’d like to teach your dog, here are our suggestions:

Never Lose Your Keys or Wallet Again!

Why waste time searching for your missing items, when with some short set up training, then 5 minutes of practise every day, your dog can find them for you?

 Fetch My Slippers

If your dog has a job to do, he will be happier and will get up to less mischief. Why not give him a job that benefits you too? Fetch your slippers at the end of a long day, or get the post or newspaper when it comes through the letterbox.

 Find my Mobile Phone

If you can ring it, your dog can hear it, and will lead you straight to it. Short session to set our dog up, and 5 minutes of practise a day, your dog will love this job!

Put That Down!

If your dog picks up things he shouldn’t have, here’s how to get them back without conflict, or chasing him round the house.

 Tidy Up Your Toys

Lots of dog toys left all over the floor? Let us teach your dog to tidy up after herself – put her toys back in her toybox.

Training sessions are £3 for around 15/20 minutes. Bookings for the first two training sessions of each day (9.30am and 10am) will be available at a 50% discount!

If you enjoy your session, you are welcome to book an individual follow up session, either meeting in one of Brentwood’s beautiful country parks, or I can come to your home. If you book and pay for an individual training session while the show you not only get a 20% discount on the price of the training (10% off if outside Brentwood CM13, CM14, or CM15), you get your £3 back too.

There will also be a prize draw! Details to follow.
