Workshop – Cleaning of Environment

Updated for 2025 Licensing Guidance

Maintaining a clean, hygienic environment is vital for the health and welfare of your dogs. It’s also a key area of inspection under the new 2025 update to the Dog Breeding Licensing: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities.

This workshop has been fully updated to reflect the 2025 guidance and will walk you through best practices for cleaning schedules, product use, and safe waste disposal in breeding environments.

Workshop: Food and Water

Updated for 2025 Licensing Guidance
In this workshop, we’ll cover the latest expectations around feeding routines, portion control, and water availability, as well as how to demonstrate compliance through clear record-keeping. We’ll also discuss practical tips for managing food hygiene and preventing contamination, especially in shared kennels and multi-dog households.

Learn how to log and track feeding routines using your Digital PawPrint, ensuring you have the documentation ready for inspection and that your dogs receive consistent, welfare-led care.

Environment for dogs

This workshop will guide you through the updated requirements around space allocation, lighting, ventilation, bedding, and environmental enrichment. We’ll explore how to assess your current setup and implement changes that meet or exceed the licensing expectations, while also enhancing the comfort and welfare of your dogs.

You’ll also learn how to evidence compliance using Digital PawPrint, which will help you demonstrate that your environment meets statutory standards during inspections.

Monitoring of dogs

Effective monitoring isn’t just about ticking a box, it’s about knowing your dogs and being able to act quickly when something isn’t right. This workshop will show you how. Regular, documented monitoring of your dogs’ health, behaviour, and general wellbeing is a core requirement under the 2025 Dog Breeding Licensing: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities. This workshop is designed to help you understand exactly what needs to be observed, how often, and how to record it effectively.

Transportation

Updated for 2025 Licensing Guidance

Transporting dogs, whether for vet visits, rehoming, or other essential journeys, must be done with welfare, safety, and legal compliance in mind. The 2025 Dog Breeding Licensing: Statutory Guidance for Local Authorities places increased emphasis on safe and appropriate transport practices for licensed breeders.
