Happy Paws Dog Training Society

Travelling with your dog in warm weather? A little planning can make the journey safer and more comfortable.

Before you set off, keep these essentials in mind:
- Cool the car first and keep it well ventilated throughout the journey.
- Travel at cooler times of day where possible, especially for longer trips.
- Pack plenty of fresh water and offer it regularly during stops.
- Plan breaks along the way so your dog can rest, stretch and cool down.
- Choose shaded places to stop and be mindful of hot pavements.
- Never leave your dog alone in a vehicle, even briefly.
- Keep an eye on behaviour and act quickly if your dog seems unsettled, unusually tired or overheated.

Congratulations 🎉 to Anne with Phoenix who passed their Royal Kennel Club Puppy Foundation tonight at Broads Equestrian Centre. Great work and we will see you next Monday at 7pm to continue your training journey, working towards gaining your Royal Kennel Club Bronze Good Citizen Award 🐶😁❤️

🌞 Fun Agility Cancelled This Evening 🐾

With the warm weather continuing, we have made the decision to cancel this evening’s Fun Agility session.

Unlike Monday’s pet dog training, agility is a high-energy activity requiring plenty of running, jumping, and physical exertion for both dogs and handlers alike and so, mixed with the warm weather, we feel cancelling agility is an appropriate & sensible decision to make.

We know many of you were looking forward to this evening, and we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you all again on Monday and at the next Fun Agility session which will be on Wednesday 12th August 🐶💙

Congratulations 🎉 to Caron with Lola who passed their Pre-Bronze Royal Kennel Club Foundation tonight at Broads Equestrian Centre. Great work and we will see you next Monday at 7pm to continue your training journey, working towards gaining your Royal Kennel Club Bronze Good Citizen Award ❤️😁🐶

🐾🌞 Training Tonight 🌞🐾

It is set to be a warm one this evening, but do not worry, the barn will be lovely and cool, making it the perfect place to enjoy some training with your dog 🐶💙

Just a couple of reminders before you head out:
💧 Please bring plenty of water for you and your dog.
🚗 Please do not leave any dogs in your car while you are training another dog, as vehicles can become dangerously hot very quickly.

If you decide not to attend this evening because of the warm weather, that is absolutely fine. Your training fee will not be affected, we will simply carry it forward to next week’s session. 😊

We cannot wait to see everyone for a fun evening of training. Stay cool, stay hydrated, see you tonight 🐾😊

Congratulations tonight to Rosie with Pepper who passed their Royal Kennel Club Puppy Foundation tonight at Broads Equestrian Centre and also Rae with Jax who passed their Pre-Bronze. Great work both of you. Your training journey continues next Monday at 7pm, working towards gaining your Royal Kennel Club Bronze Good Citizen Award ❤️

Warm weather can make going out or attending canine events more tiring for dogs, so please take a moment to think about how your dog may cope before travelling or competing.

Every dog is different. Consider the journey, time spent waiting, access to shade and fresh water, and how your dog usually manages in warmer conditions.

If it feels like the day might be too much for them, it’s OK to change plans. Trust your judgement and do what’s right for your dog.

Their comfort and welfare come first.

🐾 😁Thank You for Joining us at Bark in the Park🐶🐾

A big thank you to everyone who joined us this evening with your wonderful dogs. We had a fantastic time seeing so many wagging tails, happy faces, and new friendships being made.

We hope you and your four-legged friends enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Thank you for helping make it such a fun and memorable event, we cannot wait to see you all again, back at Broads Equestrian next week 🐶💚

🐾 BARK IN THE PARK – TODAY (22nd June) 🐾

🐶😁GOOD NEWS 😁🐶

After carefully monitoring the weather and making a visit to the park to check conditions firsthand, we are happy to confirm that Bark in the Park is going ahead this evening 🌳🐶

We are pleased to report there is a lovely cool breeze at the park, and with the temperatures expected to be comfortable this evening, it is all systems go for one of our favourite events of the year.

After our week’s break, all training classes will be heading to Everitt’s Park for this much-loved annual gathering. Training in a new environment is fantastic enrichment for our dogs, helping to build confidence, improve focus, and practise skills in real-world surroundings. It is also a wonderful opportunity for handlers to enjoy a change of scenery and have some fun with their four-legged companions.

⏰ Class Times (unchanged):
🐶 Puppy & Pre-Bronze – 6:00pm
🐕 Bronze – 7:00pm
🏅 Silver, Gold & Top – 8:00pm
