Dogwood Adventure Play

Mummy daddy and myself would like to say thank you as I am now a much more confident, happy puppy who loves to be out and about!

Club Dogwood is our extended family and we are so grateful to everyone for making us feel so welcome and for all the help and advice that they offer!

Join Club Dogwood and you won’t be disappointed, this is the best and easiest decision my hoomans have ever had to make!

Since joining Club Dogwood we have been given the tools to do enrichment exercises while out on walks, which means that on days where I can’t be off lead I get that mental stimulation on a lead walk.

Our favourite thing about Club Dogwood is how everyone is treated as an individual, this makes it suitable for any of us dogs and owners regardless of abilities. The exercises are perfect for building the relationship with your human and they can all be done from home, making it again suitable for everyone! The community in Club Dogwood is so supportive. We have different needs yet Club Dogwood has been amazing for us in different ways, it doesn't have to be dogs with reactive issues, it really is a club for all

Who would have thought learning could be so much fun, even at my age!

Club Dogwood has been a really positive outlet for my nervous energy. I’m quite an anxious dog and was reactive to both other dogs and some people. Me and my human have enjoyed learning new things at our own pace and I loved the scent work. This has really calmed me down, increased my confidence and strengthened our bond in just a few months. Everyone is so supportive and lovely. I just wish I’d joined sooner!

If I had to choose my favourite things about Club Dogwood it would have to be climbing and sniffing!

I love Club Dogwood as it allows me to do what I love best - to sniff and have new things to sniff and sniffing games! P.S. I really like to sniff!

For me Club Dogwood brings complete freedom. As a young spaniel doing freework and all the training at the club is calming me down (slowly)! The support from the members is amazing.

We love the sniffing activities that keep our minds, bodies and noses busy!

One of my favourite things from Club Dogwood is freework because it involves my two favourite things - sniffing and food! The Club has also provided endless ideas for new ways to interact with our environment while out adventuring and at home. I also feel that bond with my human has grown since we joined the club. I’m so much more engaged both in the house and while on walks. I get excited for our training time at lunch each day and have to remind my human when she’s running late!

I love Club Dogwood training! I give everything 110%

My favourite thing about Club Dogwood is that we learn new and exciting things every week. Since we joined I’m always doing fun activities that also help me to be a calmer girl.

My very favourite thing of all is Freework. I love to rummage around and I always find yummy treats.

I also love the exercises we’ve learned too, they help me stretch and strengthen the muscles I wouldn’t normally use very much, keeping me fit and healthy. Here’s me doing a stretchy “Bear”.

My mam joined club dogwood in February and all of a sudden we had lots of new and fun activities to try, I love the search games. We have spent a lot of time in the garden, walking the plank was so much fun, I never expected to become a pirate dog. There are so many lovely dog friends and their owners in club dogwood, everyone is so friendly and supportive. Aunty Katie hosts video training and quizzes and I watch them every week, there is always something new to learn. Some months are so busy and we learn so much, my mam says I am so much better at recall, freework, bear, goat and many more, I just think it’s all great fun. I used to be quite nervous of new sounds and textures, Club Dogwood has mad me braver and I love exploring and trying all the new things. I am so glad my mam joined Club Dogwood, I don’t know what adventures we still have to come but I know I will learn a lot and have a great time doing it, and maybe if I am really good some extra treats x
