Creating Positive Connections | Online Dog Training
A quick, snappy, focused recall. It’s something all dog owners strive for… but not something we all have. Fear not! Our 3-Week Recall Challenge is back! Now in its 4th iteration, this challenge is exactly as it says on the tin. A focus on recall training over 3 weeks. With live videos from Barket Place […]
It’s been such a year of highs and lows. So we decided we wanted to ensure our Barket Club members ended their year on a high! What boosts our mood better than music? Well, of course, our dogs! And if we add Christmas into the mix – you’ve got a recipe for festive fun! That’s […]
Are you taking part in our ‘Paws Up for the NHS’ Challenge? The last few weeks have been really unsettling – for both us and our dogs. We wanted to give you something to focus your dog’s minds on, bring a smile to your face, and support our heroic keyworkers. ‘Paws Up for the NHS’ […]
We’re partnering with Dog Furiendly and other dog-related businesses, to support Bark Aid, a virtual dog show that will raise funds for charities that desperately need support to cope with Coronavirus (COVID-19). We all know that COVID-19 is having detrimental effects on our society in the UK and the rest of the world. Bark Aid […]
I’m sure you’re sick of reading more information about COVID-19 but the truth is, it will affect us all in some way – whether that be through a change in the way we work, how we can interact with family and friends, or even the ways we entertain our dogs. It might not be something you’ve […]
This week, we’ve been presenting at the Petcare Innovation Summit in London. We were invited along to present our new digital experience, PUP, as part of the emerging brands Best in Show award. PUP has two simple missions: Take the stress out of pet parenting; and reduce the chance that a dog may end up in a rescue centre.
Over the festive period, it can be hard for dogs to take on board all the new stuff – a tree in their home, more visitors than usual, their humans being around a lot more, presents, human excitement after one too many sherries, flashing lights, blow up snowmen, Santa coming down their chimney… the list goes on.
Have you seen the new Christmas Advert from John Lewis and Partners with Excitable Edgar the fire-breathing dragon? Well, it got us thinking about how we work with Reactive Dogs. When we put our stressed or fearful dogs in the wrong environment or context, then they are likely to blow. While Excitable Edgar’s energy is one of […]
I’m sure when you think about dog training, you don’t think about high plastic waste. Generally speaking, our pets’ use of plastic is pretty low – with dog food packaging being the highest culprit. It’s Plastic Free July this month, so we thought what better time to introduce our brand new Click Treat app – […]
A recent survey, commissioned by Forthglade Natural Pet Food, found that almost two thirds of dog owners (63%) are unable to switch off from screen time whilst on the daily dog walk. Many of these owners are also experiencing stressful behaviours such as dogs pulling on the lead (68%) and barking at other dogs (49%), so myself […]
