If you go down in the woods today.....


 If you go down in the woods today


You're sure of a big surprise!

 Teddy Bear's Picnic, lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy / John W. Bratton

*and yes, that is Laird temporarily back on a long line in very exciting places. All part of my plan to give him more freedom later in the year*

In case you need to drive out the earworm, listen to the whole song here


I hope you've been able to find something better than muddy floodwater in the woods this week?

All fingers crossed here for better weather in March, not least because we have all sorts of workshops and events planned.



Social Skills (for dogs that sometimes struggle)

Safe spaces for your dog to practice their conversational skills with other dogs or people. These sessions are ideal if your dog is ready to get closer, learn how to make friends or build tolerance levels.  Maximum of two spaces per session
  • When: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays - there will be evening sessions from the spring 
  • Where: PawPark, Sand Hutton
  • Check the schedule and book here

Hoopers Taster Session (with Clare)

If you missed out on booking in to try Hoopers, we have one more workshop running before regular classes start. You MUST have attended a taster session or a 121 intro with Clare to be eligible for the classes!
  • When: 21 March 2020
  • Where: PawPark, Sand Hutton
  • Book your space here


That's not a sheep! Herding Dog Games (with Morag)

Does your dog crouch, stare, fixate or chase stuff?
Ever feel like you've just been herded round a walk?
Are other dogs puzzled by your herding dog's behaviour?

During this half day workshop we'll be learning about the special quirks of the herding dog brain and incorporating games designed for  them into your training to help build focus, steadiness, recall and the start of control at distance...plus more!  Open to all breeds of dog, not just collies! 

  • When: 22 March 2020
  • Where: PawPark, Sand Hutton

Welcome to the Sunday Sports and Social Club



Training your dog is fun, but it’s even better fun when you add in some cake & coffee with good company. 

It’s good to mix activities up and cross-train for fitness, plus it keeps everyone on their toes. 

So we’re launching the Well Connected Canine Sunday Sports and Social Club (2-4pm) from 28th January!

Our FREE monthly social club held on Sunday afternoons near Market Weighton. 

You just need to have trained with well connected canine to be eligible to attend, and keen to train with your dog in a friendly atmosphere.

There’s no formal teaching at these sessions. But there is plenty of space and equipment to set up practice areas and other people to help you out.

Activity options

  • Rally and Fenzi TEAM
  • Agility (with Hoopers coming soon)
  •  Scentwork
  • Canicross (brilliant trails within easy walking distance)
  • Parkour
  • Anything else you’d like to work on!


Just let us know you’re coming, and bring along something to share (cake, fruit, biscuits etc). We’ll provide the space*, equipment and tea/coffee.

Are you coming on Sunday 28th January?  https://doodle.com/poll/d2uyeq3ibar52zr4

And sign-up to the dedicated mailing list http://eepurl.com/PcFGv  for monthly reminders and activity update.

Happy Monday!

Morag and the collie girls

*all sessions are outside, so come prepared for the weather. Dogs will enjoy the sessions most if they’re able to settle in your vehicle while you have a coffee and warm up in the kitchen.
