New class programs - flexible classes for all dogs and schedules
As we near the end of the year, we want to take a moment to reflect and reconnect with our wonderful community. This year has been one of challenges, growth, and change for us, and we’re so grateful for your continued support.
A Year of Challenges and Growth
This year has brought its fair share of hurdles. From managing complex cases and financial pressures to focusing on our health, it’s been a whirlwind.
Roxy spent part of the year working in rescue, where she gained valuable hands-on experience with hundreds of dogs in a short time. While this opportunity enhanced her skills, it also highlighted some significant ethical conflicts in the industry. This experience has inspired us to revise some of our own policies to be even more dog-focused and support ourselves further, looking at the
Elin has chosen to specialize in separation anxiety, becoming a certified Separation Anxiety Pro™ Behavior Consultant after studying under Julia Naismith, a renowned expert in the field. Starting in the new year, she will be taking on clients to help tackle this challenging but manageable issue, with a sister website launching soon to provide even more resources. Elin’s experience with our own dog, Deri, whose health struggles are deeply tied to separation stress, has given her a firsthand understanding of the dedication needed to help dogs overcome these difficulties. Thankfully, Deri is making incredible progress—but it’s been a reminder of how overwhelming this process can feel for owners. Elin’s goal is to make the journey smoother and more supportive, so you never have to face it alone. Help is here

Our new credit-based system offers packages of 6, 12, or 24 credits, so you can choose the services and schedules that suit your lifestyle. Whether it’s life skills, social meets, husbandry classes, scent classes, or even Zoom life skills sessions, you’ll still get the same high-quality, positive, and kind training that helps your dog thrive.
We’re excited to make training even more accessible and tailored for every dog and owner. Let’s make 2024 a year of growth, skills, and connection for you and your dog!
🐾 Meet Roxy Rat: A Fundraiser with a Twist! 🐾
On a personal note, I wanted to share something a little different with you all. Over the last two years, I’ve been navigating life with an ADHD diagnosis. Unfortunately, despite being diagnosed privately, the NHS isn’t able to provide the ongoing support yet and will move to shared care. Nearly £1,800 for medication—has been a significant challenge.
That’s where Roxy Rat comes in! This little project was born out of a need to make things work financially, while still doing what I love—helping dogs and their owners. Roxy Rat isn’t just a toy; it’s a program designed to bring fun, enrichment, and skills to you and your dog. And yes, we have 100+ Roxy Rats as presents this Christmas! 🎁 (left overs are fab for adoption day, dogs birthday, friends or family birthday )
I’m not entirely sure how the post office will react to us mailing out this many rats (fingers crossed they’re supportive!), but I couldn’t be more excited to share this with you. For £25+postage, you’ll receive:
🐀 A custom-designed Roxy Rat toy
📘 A workbook
🌐A 8-module online program with video and txt tutorials
👥 An exclusive, supportive Facebook group
All funds raised will go toward my ADHD medication, so I can continue supporting our wonderful community and working with your incredible dogs. Thank you for being part of this journey—it truly means the world. 💙
👉 Grab your Roxy Rat now and make a difference for me and your dog this Christmas!
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
Your support means everything to us. Whether you’ve attended a class, followed our blog, or cheered us on from afar, you’re helping us create a kinder, more understanding world for dogs and their owners.
Warm wishes
Roxy, Elin, and the My Dogs Club Team
