Certified Canine Behaviourist

Our Blog

Pooch on a Pedestal are excited to be able to share what we are up to with the gorgeous dogs we are lucky enough to work with. We are very grateful for all the awards we win but the best reward are the rescue dogs getting a forever home, nervous dogs gaining confidence & stressed owners really enjoying living with and walking their canine companions after months or even years of stress.
We offer puppy training and support, enrichment, training and socialisation sessions for dogs within 5 miles of NP18. Expert Certified Behaviourist support can be further afield from Caerphilly/Cardiff to Chepstow, including Caerleon, Penhow, Caldicot, Magor, Usk, Pontypool, Cwmbran, Risca, Rogerstone, Caerwent and Newport.

Many of the dogs on our Facebook page will be rescues as Victoria is the Certified Canine Behaviourist for Help for Dogs, Desperate Dogs Romania and Newport Dogs Home as well as FONDS.

Poodle holiday

Tuesday 4th February 2020

We love having some little dogs coming to stay with us-we only offer up to 3 places as we like to ensure lots of 1 to 1 time and each dog lives with us as part of our child free family. Our cockerpoo girls love the extra fun. #caerleonboarding#homeboardingcaerleon#homeboardingcariff#homeboardingnewport#doghomeboardingnewport#doghomeboardingcaldicot#doghomeboardingmagor#doghomeboardingcaerwent

Doggy Holidays With Us

Tuesday 7th January 2020

We can offer holiday places for puppies at 6 months old and upwards and each one goes back home more confident and socialised. Each one that stays has an individual plan to strengthen training, introduce new activities and walks, stabilise routine expectations from home and socialisation. We miss each one when he or she goes back home. #doggyhomeboarding#puppyhomeboarding#doghomeboarding#licenseddogboarding#caerleon#magor#usk#newport#cardiff#cwmbran#caerphilly#Chepstow#bristol

This cockerpoo puppy is so at home now as she regularly comes for sleepovers. It also meant she could meet another puppy and have lots of fun with her too Caerleon#langstone#parcseymour#cockerpoo
