December 2024
Good Grief, was that Christmas already? It seems to have flown by very quickly this year. I hope that everyone had a lovely time and that your dogs weren’t too stressed by the excitement. I was in London with family and took Edie and Rupert with me. They had a long walk on…
October 2024
It’s been quite a while since the website got any attention as I’ve had problems with my hosting and my templates. But now all sorted out and I’ll be updating this page on a regular basis, I promise. As many of you may know, I’ve moved to County Durham and am loving the…
March 2021
nd costs have increased quite a bit since he was born. He is now peeing freely and it was a very expensive pee this morning! Am looking forward to getting back to the classes and hope to see you all soon. Stay safe and take care. Best wishes, Sara, Edie and Rupert (the…
April 2021
Hello all, can you believe that it’s April already? The good news is that the weather has finally turned good (although we had snow earlier in the week) and the better news is that the lockdown restrictions are being loosened up. I’m off for a hairdo tomorrow and the dogs are both looking…
May 2021
Dear All, It has been the wettest May I can remember for a long time and I hope your dogs have had a chance to get out when the sun did make an appearance. Rupert and Edie hate getting wet so they had to use their coats but we did have a lovely…
Why I’m giving up group puppy classes…
Back before the pandemic, I used to teach group puppy classes. For the last ten years, I’ve taught three classes a week in different vets waiting rooms with four pups maximum. I even worked for another training company running their Saturday classes which were huge with 10 pups included. And I really loved…
July 2021
Dear All, It’s been one of the busiest weeks of the year so far! Saturday saw us talking to loads of owners and dogs at the Cranleigh Carnival organised by the local Cranleigh Lions. Rupert and Edie took it in turns to come out of the crate and socialise and we all had…
August 2021
As I write this month’s newsletter, it’s a little cooler but the sudden heatwave lasted a lot longer than we were all expecting. How did you and your dogs cope? My two spent a lot of time chilling out in front of the fan with iced water available when they wanted it….
September 2021
Dear All I don’t know where August went but it was supposed to be quiet enough for me to get the office set up and opened. Unfortunately, I have had very little time to myself so the deadline slipped back but I can tell you I have some exciting plans for the office…
October 2021
Hello from my sofa! It’s been very full on this month and (you all know me so well) the office is still not ready to open. Blame my lovely daughter, Julia, who decided last minute that I should only open when the place is looking beautiful and completely ready. I spent last weekend…
November 2021
cking for Christmas Day but don’t like the ones from the large stores (too many colourants and rawhide for my liking) you may like to consider a personalised one with your dog’s name on it! The stocking will include a large Sea Treats dog treat, a toy and something from the Dorwest range…
December 2021
The last day of the year Here we are again on New Year’s Eve at the end of another year. 2021 has been unpredictable at best but rather than saying “next year will be better” I’m happy to look back and say it wasn’t too bad for me. I’ve seen lots of new…
May 2022
The Perfect Triangle of Training This month has gone so quickly and here we are now at the Jubilee bank holiday weekend ready to party with our dogs! Although to be fair, I’ve been partying without them for most of the month! Early May saw me attending Impact 2022 in Sunderland, flying up…
March 2022
Here we are at the end of March and today it’s been four seasons in one day! Once again it’s been a busy month for me and the dogs. Today I was interviewed on B Radio in Farnborough about my work as a dog trainer. It was fun to be in the studio…
April 2022
Here it is! My appearance on B Radio in Farnborough. Many thanks to Roger for sending it over. And at last the new website is completed and I am writing to you via the portal on the site for the first time! With Easter being late this year, April was a very challenging…
June 2022
Wherever I lay my dog bed… that’s my home If you’ve known me for a while now you’ll probably know that my life is never straight forward! And so, June 2022 continued in the same vein. I’ve been working non-stop and only slowed down this week when a chest infection hit me (thank…
September 2022
Year End Report for Sara Bridgeman, aged 42 and a bit… quite a bit… Apologies for the lack of newsletters but as I shall explain, it’s been a tough end to the year. In early November I was in hospital for a minor operation but am still recovering and healing from that so…
October 2022
We are now into the Autumn and it’s definitely getting a bit nippy of an evening! I held out putting the heating on only last night (30th September) and all of a sudden, the dogs were happy to lie in their baskets which were almost under the radiator! About this time of year…

June 2023
As I mentioned in my last newsletter in December, the past few months of 2022 were very challenging and unfortunately 2023 has continued in the same way. Sadly, my mother passed away a few days before Christmas and my aunt also passed a month or so after. Both deaths were a big shock…
November 2023
I hope everyone is well and got through Halloween and Bonfire Night safely. We didn’t have many fireworks near us, thank goodness, but the pups didn’t seem bothered at all. Only Rupert barked once and he got told to shut up by Edie. She’ taking her role as Mum very seriously! Since I…
Bully XL advice
This week is the start of the new year and we all played catch-up at the end of the holidays. But now the serious stuff starts. I’m back in County Durham and making plans to get round and visit lots of dog businesses and find a venue for my new classes. But in…
