❄️✨ What a change this snowy, icy weather has been! Even though the temperatures have dropped, spirits certainly haven’t. Huge shout-out to all the amazing volunteers who’ve been braving the chill — whether it’s keeping the building running safely, looking after our daycare dogs or doing walks in the community. 🐾💙
The dogs are absolutely loving the winter wonderland (some more than others!), and we’ve been keeping the bird feeders topped up so our feathered visitors don’t go hungry. 🐦⛄ There’s something pretty special about watching wildlife enjoying the snow right along with us.
Stay warm, stay safe, and keep finding those little moments of fun in the frost! ❄️❤️

Sometimes relaxation is just as important as play 🐾
After a busy morning of training Chantelle helped the dogs feel calm and relaxed ☺️

🐾 Build Confidence, Connection & Calm with SPPOT’s Foundation Skills Classes 🐾
Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy, a newly adopted rescue, or simply new to training, our Foundation Skills Classes at SPPOT are designed for every dog and owner to succeed.
🌟 Why training matters
Positive, reward-based training isn’t just about teaching good manners — it helps dogs feel safe, confident, and understood as they become part of the training process.
Dogs who take part in structured, supportive classes often become calmer, more adaptable, and easier to handle. Kind training builds trust and communication, both essential for rescue dogs finding their feet in a new home, or for puppies and novice dogs discovering the world.
Training also deepens the bond between you and your dog, helping them understand what’s expected while boosting their confidence in everyday life.
🐶 What you and you're dog will learn
✅ Calm greetings and polite social skills
✅ Reliable recall
✅ Loose-lead walking
✅ Focus and confidence around distractions
✅ Handling and everyday cooperation
All taught through fun, gentle, science-based methods — no shouting, no force, just positive progress at your dog’s pace.

SPPOT - Supporting People & Pets through Opportunity & Training
SPPOT is a unique social enterprise offering dogs and their human families, a highly affordable, award winning dog walking service across Pembrokeshire and high quality daycare for dogs.
We are able to embed positive reward based training into our dog walking and daycare services, because all our staff and volunteers are themselves qualified and accredited in dog care, training and welfare.
SPPOT is an Agored Cymru Recognised Centre, delivering accredited training courses in canine training and welfare for adults and young people who experience barriers to work and education. This enables trainees to become part of SPPOT’s team as Volunteer Dog Walkers who walk dogs all over Pembrokeshire and K9 Keyworkers who volunteer their time at our dedicated headquarters in Haverfordwest providing high quality daycare for dogs.
The dog walking & daycare are offered at a competitive rates for the general public with a significant concession for vulnerable people in the community. Thus we can bring together the needs of two people, through shared care of a dog, benefiting both people and the dog.
Dogs are scientifically proven to be of significant health and social benefit to people, therefore SPPOT’s progressive enterprise model will reduce dependence on health and social care services which are already under strain. People also have the capacity to reduce the suffering and neglect of dogs.
Society in the UK is still geared towards fully able people and it remains incredibly difficult for disabled people to find truly flexible, supportive employment. In order to claim government benefit, people with long term disabilities and illnesses must focus on what they cannot do, in order to qualify for money to live.
SPPOT focuses on what people can do, for example, we will focus on a person’s ability to work six hours a week for eight months of the year. The current mainstream system simply rejects people who cannot work 48 weeks of the year.
The SPPOT Team has enormous collective experience and wide ranging skills and fully understands the requirements of commercial business and also traditional health and social care services but believes there needs to be a fundamental shift in the UK’s attitude to people who have long term barriers to full employment, towards ‘can train’, ‘can learn’, ‘can work’ and ‘can help others’. The SPPOT Team are successfully demonstrating this every day, through delivery of robust, high quality, outcomes driven services for people and dogs.
