Pups & Pooches Dog Training.
Positively FUN!
Welcome — I’m glad you’re here!
I’m Jan Foster: a retired nurse, lifelong dog lover, and certified trainer.
🐾 'Start Right At Home' Puppy Package
Practical support and training where your puppy feels most at ease — right at home..
Home is where puppies feel most comfortable, so that’s where learning should begin. Support for you in the comfort of your home, ensuring that both you and your pup set off on the right paw.
🎯 Sporting Fun for You and Your Dog.
Dogs thrive when their minds and bodies are engaged. That’s why I offer two exciting sports, suitable for all breeds and ages:
-
Mantrailing — A dog‑led sport that taps into your pup’s incredible sense of smell as they track down a hidden person.
-
Scurry Dog — Inspired by gundog games, this sport builds a strong bond between you and your dog through fun, skill‑building activities. Puppies and younger dogs can start with Scurry Dog Foundation Skills, laying the groundwork for the five Scurry Dog Games.
🐾 Animal Assisted Therapy?
Animal Assisted Therapy involves working with a trained dog and a qualified practitioner to achieve specific therapeutic goals. .
Animals act as a bridge, helping people feel more relaxed, open, and engaged. They provide comfort, companionship, and a non‑judgmental presence that can make therapy feel more comforting from the off.
Fearful of dogs?
Talking about dogs, activities around the subject of dogs and finally , when you are ready to do so, meeting a calm dog can allay even those most fearful. Open your world to the benefits of animal assisted therapy, whether that's for personal use or to bring the joy of dogs to your school or workplace.
About Me.
I’ve been a dog owner all my life, with a passion for bringing out the very best in my own dogs. That passion eventually led me to train as a certified dog trainer, puppy specialist, Mantrailing Global Instructor, and Scurry Dog Instructor.
After a rewarding career in nursing, I now feel truly at home — supporting dog owners like you to enjoy training and have fun with your dogs.
What makes my approach unique is the blend of compassion and a deep understanding of how both humans and dogs learn. This allows me to tailor training to the individual needs of every client and their dog.
