Chris at Chasing Pawfection is an accredited IMDT trainer in dog training and behavioral modifications. He’ll be running these FREE walks every fortnight, in association with the Parks Management Committee and Delapre Abbey to help you with some socialisation.

The socialising of a dog is the most important part of your dog's development,
This walk is designed to be low-impact, slow, and suitable for developing dogs.

Suitable for pups that are at least 12 weeks old, we be focusing on proper socialisation and talking about the impact this can have on your dogs going forward, including how to help with lead walking, recall, aggression, and reactivity issues further down the line. If you have an older dog, we absolutely want them to come along too!

Our next Grief Gathering is happening this Thursda

Our next Grief Gathering is happening this Thursday, 1pm, at The Umbrella Fair.

Explore the topic of grief, share your thoughts, and connect with others in a safe and inclusive space.

This Grief Thing is a project that invites people to think, talk and learn about grief. We're living at a time when many people find death and grief - our own grief or other people's - almost impossible to talk about. We don't know what to say, what to do, or how to act. So we stay silent, we pretend that grief doesn't exist, or we hide it. This Grief Thing pushes against this, by opening up conversations about grief and making it visible.

It's entirely free but we ask that you pre-book tickets using the link in our bio.

Please do share with anyone who you think may benefit from attending! 💛
