Hosted by Head Dog Behaviourist, Jeanette Muldoon from e Family Dog Club Ltd, the meetup was a paw-fect opportunity for owners to pick up some training tips and tricks whilst their pups played with new fur-ever friends. Puppy Natter was launched by Healthy Pet Store to help puppies learn to socialise with other dogs, while supporting caregivers with advice on puppy care, wellbeing, and general upbringing advice. Healthy Pet Store has hosted two Puppy Natter sessions so far and it is free to attend. Managing Director of Healthy Pet Store Deborah Burrows said she has loved welcoming so many puppies to the rst two sessions. Deborah added: “Learning to socialise in a safe and well managed environment with other dogs and caregivers is really important for puppies. It builds their confidence and helps them cope with a variety of situations so they can grow into confident adult dogs. Puppy Natter is a place for owners to share their experiences and chat with other puppy caregivers. While gaining advice from a dog behaviourist, their puppies can play safely and happily in a controlled environment. We know that the puppy years can be challenging, especially if you are a firsttime dog caregiver. Puppy Natter offers extra support as caregivers embark on an exciting journey with their new pet. We will be holding a Puppy Natter session on the second Saturday of every month, and all puppies are welcome. Please just turn up, there is no need to book.” For more information about Healthy Pet Store and Puppy Natter, visit healthypetstore.co.uk or its social media pages @healthypetstore ‘Puppy Natter’ for Training, Tips and Furry Friendships Lots of cuddles at Puppy Natter Managing Director of Healthy Pet Store Deborah Burrows (left) and Jeanette Muldoon Head Behaviourist from The Family Dog Club (right) with Peter the puppy JULIAN CLARY TO PLAY HEROD IN THE AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION OF THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Julian Clary will play the role of Herod in the Olivier Award-winning reimagined production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s celebrated musical JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR when the show comes to the May ower eatre.
