Sarah Matthews Dog Training

This gorgeous girly started her puppy package with us before her vaccinations were fully complete! 🤯

I'm often asked "how soon is too soon?" When it comes to starting puppy training, and honestly it's never too soon!

Teach the life skills, manners, obedience, good behavior or whatever you may call it from the very start and your puppy will learn.

Teach it with patience, compassion and an understanding of your puppies abilities and they will thrive.

Mix in some healthy socialisation, play and a spoonful of sugar and you're on your way to owning a brilliantly well rounded dog.🐾

Get in touch today to start your training journey together 💪

🎶Let's waste time..
Chasing cats,
Around our hedge 🎶

Bobby started off his 1-1 package with learning some great new games that he can play with his owners, instead of chasing cats in the garden 😸

It's not all fun and games though - this session will lay the foundations we need to improve his reactivity, both on and off lead PLUS rebuild some relaxed garden vibes for an overall better quality of life 💪

Do you ever get the slight feeling that you're being watched...? 👀

Back to action today after a much needed break ⛵

Oh Danny boy, what a feisty one you are 😆

And who could blame you? 🥺

You were born into a lifetime of instability, passed from one owner to the next in only 3 short years.

The only way you've learnt to get people to listen is to use your bark and your bite to keep you feeling safe and secure.

You've done it all with one eye, and some other health conditions that are bound to have left you feeling vulnerable and on edge.

You don't have to do it alone anymore wee man, you've landed on four paws with two people dedicated to helping you live your best life 💚

Can't wait to catch up with this team soon 💪

‼️CLIENT UPDATE‼️

Unfortunately I'm in a position where I can no longer let deposits or last minute cancellations slide.

I understand that times are tough, deposits aren't ideal and we all love that "buy now, pay later" approach...
However that's just not sustainable when you're trying to run a small business and still pay your bills (unless I put my prices up...? Any takers? 😆)

-

Moving forward all deposits/cancellation policies are as follows:

Classes/Workshops - 50% Deposit
1-1 Training Packages - 50% Deposit
1-1 Training Session - £20 Deposit

The Good Dog/Pawsitive Pups Club - Full payment required to secure your space (£10)

Walk services - No Deposit. Full Charge for late cancellation (48Hours)

Deposits must be made within 48hours of booking to secure your slot. Remaining payments are due by day of training.

All deposits may be refunded/transferred up to 48hours prior to start date of training.

Thanks for understanding folks 💚
