Is it on?

Over the Winter months we occasionally need to cancel an evenings class or workshop (extremely rarely) - or even during the wet Summer months as well! Sometimes you are not sure whether to set off or not.

If we need to cancel class, or warn you of bad weather this is where you will find information. You are not likely to get an answer from the office outside normal office hours.

All classes start again in February, although our online shop never stops!

Kennel Cough

This is the busy season for those bugs. September and October are most likely to see your dog with Kennel Cough. Unfortunately it is highly infectious, and we ask you not to come to class if you are in doubt.

Above average exercise or excitement, and pulling against the collar all all likely to make the coughing worse. The disease can last initially from 10-20 days and can rebreak when the dog is put into a stressful situation which puts stress on the dog's immune system. Diagnosis is made by seeing these symptoms, having a history of exposure is also helpful but not always found as kennel cough is easily spread through contact with contaminated surfaces such as the ground, toys, sidewalks, dog parks.
