Freddie and Basil also enjoyed a little horsing around - wearing their loot bags instead of carrying them in their mouths 😂

An exciting Clicker Club session tonight at The George Hotel with BBC Radio Bristol coming to film our The Real Dog Yoga session. Thanks so much to my awesome trainers who all were amazing, as were their dogs!

[Ruff Hounds @RuffHoundsUK]

Perfect way too start a weekend: half day The Real Dog Yoga workshop in Old Sodbury.

[Ruff Hounds @RuffHoundsUK]

Doesn't everything feel better when the sun starts to show its face? Definitely gets me wanting to get out more with my dogs!
