Propups - Dog Training Cardiff

Cardiff

Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with all animals, but in particular, dogs. I knew growing up I wanted to work with dogs. I had memorised every dog breed by the age of six and had read every dog based book I could get my hands on very early on. Growing up we had family labradors and Jack Russells as well as a German Shepherd cross and I basically set up a small animal rescue, taking in unwanted or injured rabbits and guinea pigs, helping them back to full health and rehoming them. I started working at a local groomers at the age of 14 and worked there for two years and then worked at a local boarding kennels. I helped out at training classes from the age of 16, and attended agility classes with my own dog. I went on to complete a BSc Animal Science (behaviour and welfare) and focused my dissertation on the effect of rearing environment on the behaviour of puppies. This research was published by the universities journal and was also awarded the UFAW prize for the best welfare based project. I was also awarded a first class BSc (hons). I started teaching classes 11 years ago in Cornwall, for a dog training club that I attended with my own dogs and achieved a gold level Kennel Club Good Citizens award with my Jack Russell/ Dachshund cross, Beau. I then worked for breeder full time for a year training puppies the foundations of obedience and assistance work. This helped me streamline my puppy training techniques and I trained hundreds of puppies during this period to a high standard. I therefore have a strong background of both practical and theoretical knowledge and still keep up to date with the latest CPD in the field, attending lectures from world renowned behaviourists and trainers, constantly reviewing my methods and adjusting them. ProPups was then set up in 2016 and we have built a great reputation and don't do ANY advertisement as most of our clientele comes from recommendations from our lovely customers! We really should but marketing and IT are just not my thing! Now, I absolutely love sharing my experience with clients, helping them to navigate puppyhood and adolescence as smoothly as possible. I also love actually doing the training myself (dog training is predominately teaching people how to train dogs). Therefore I offer residential training to help fast track training and assist partnerships in reaching their potential. They say the proof is in the pudding and I love getting the chance to put in some really solid foundations with dogs as they live with me and my ever-growing pack! I also foster- sometimes with Barneys Small breed rescue and sometimes I take owner relinquishments directly. The dogs I take in are almost always on their last chance due to biting people but we have a good success rate. I have to date fostered 24 dogs and currently have a foster French bulldog (that I can't see going anywhere soon!) I currently share my life with a Labrador, a Standard Poodle, Wire Fox Terrier, Pomeranian, Dalmatian, Bloodhound and a blind a deaf lurcher. There is always a foster or two in the mix because I strongly feel that people such as myself should be there to help the dogs that really need an experienced hand to give them another chance. Below are some of the dogs I have fostered over the past couple of years. Archie was taken to the vets to be euthanised by his owner that had been badly bitten when she went to removed a stick from his mouth. The vet thankfully refused and he came to me for training. He learnt to drop/ leave it in one session and is the happiest, most loving little dog you will ever meet. He won 'friendliest dog' at a fun dog show during his stay with me and I nearly didn't let him go, but he was offered a fantastic home in Cornwall with a close friend and animal physiotherapist. Bobby was also taken to the vets to be euthanised but again the vet advised that he should be given another chance. He snapped at a child on two occasions, both of which it seems could have been avoided with better management. He was the easiest foster we have had, and an absolute joy to have around. He was rehomed to an experienced collie home without children and they are totally in love.

Tots Play Edinburgh North West

Hi, my name is Lian. I live in Winchburgh with my fiancé, Stuart, and my two little girls, Maddie and Connie, and I run classes in the Edinburgh North West areas. I am originally from Manchester and before moving to Edinburgh travelled the world working on a cruise ship. After meeting Stuart, we decided to put down some roots in Scotland and start a family. I attended lots of baby classes with Maddie, she spent most of the time sleeping but for me it was invaluable - being able to chat to other mums going through the same things at the same time. Also, being new to area meant I was able to meet, what have become, lifelong friends. In June 2020 I had my second daughter, Connie, in the middle of a global pandemic. My maternity experience was very different. Not having the opportunity to go to classes and share experiences with other Mums made me realise even more how important these baby groups are, not just for my baby but also for me. So this got me thinking about my future and where my passion was, then I discovered Tots Play and knew I had found exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to offer the same opportunity for new mums and the experiences I had to Edinburgh North West. I immediately jumped at the chance to bring this fantastic programme to families in the area. My aim is to offer you and your baby a relaxed and friendly environment, where you can spend special time with your little one playing, laughing, learning and bonding together. Each class brings with it a unique structured play programme, where you can share experiences through activities such as baby massage, yoga, music, sign language, sensory play and much more all in one place. Take a look below to see when classes are available and follow the links to book your place. You can also contact me on liand@totsplay.co.uk with any questions. I look forward to welcoming you and your wee one to Tots Play very soon. Happy Playing Lian xx

KIRKINTILLOCH TO FALKIRK Hi everyone, my name is Nicole and I live in Scotland with my Husband, Martiens and my daughter Hailey. We are Namibians who have made Scotland our home. I have previously worked as a horse-riding instructor as well as a travel agent, and before going on maternity leave, was working in customer service. After having Hailey I couldn’t bare the thought of sitting behind a desk all day while she went to nursery. I like to be active and love meeting new people. I took Hailey to Tots Play from the time she was just a few weeks old and we loved it. The benefits and results were amazing. From getting her to sleep better and helping her get over colic, to chats and advice from the parents and it was lovely seeing how much Hailey loved the interaction too. When the opportunity came to take over Tots Play in the area, I was so excited and was determined to make it happen. The support I received in the classes really helped me as a first-time mum, and I am passionate about providing this for others parents. Running the business also allowed me to escape the office environment, meet new people and be there to see my daughter grow up - a perfect fit for me! The Tots play program offers a unique experience using massage, yoga, music, sign language and sensory play all in one class. The program is designed to aid your little one’s development using easy, inexpensive and fun ways to play together, both at class and that you can continue at home too. This is a special time to bond with your child and encourage them to explore their new world with confidence. I am looking forward to meeting and sharing this amazing experience with you and watching your little ones grow while having fun. Take a look at the class schedule below to find and book the right class for you, and when you join us you’ll find a relaxed, friendly and welcoming environment where you can meet other parents to share ideas and your parenting journey with too. If you have any questions do get in touch at nicolep@totsplay.co.uk or 07746009221 and I’ll be happy to help. Happy playing Nicole xx
